Only if you'd been stuffing it in a keyhole, LOL.  But yeah, even 
though it's only hard-to-like Peeves*, this incident does serve 
notice that Lupin is no one to cross.  After all, for all that Peeves 
backs down when McGonagall or Dumbledore is involved, suggesting that 
they could punish him if they chose, we haven't seen anyone else 
actually act on his or her ability to do so--only Remus.  He's 
probably getting even for his seven years of school during which 
Peeves thwarted his attempts at mischief, made him late to class, and 
threw out hints about his lycanthropy (I suspect Peeves knows about 
it and that his calling him "Loony" is not a coincidence).

True.  The main reason I doubt Remus was in on it was that it would 
have caused him so much trouble.  Heaven knows what the MOM does to 
werewolves who kill a human.
