Well, unless we think it is just some random student that overheard
Sirius' plans (which honestly that is what I always thought until
now), we *are* left with Elkins' Peter and Pip's Lily theories here.

Sorry Pip.
I love your mind. - but here, I am more prone to believe Elkins.

**Though**

I wonder something.

I wonder if after Sirius believed Peter was honestly cowardly.
I wonder if after James believed Peter has innate goodness.

If it played out as Elkins said, then we have a Sirius that has to be
quite annoyed with Peter.  Peter played him.  He turned on him.  He
was..."weak."  Sirius, after James royally chewed him out for almost
getting *Lupin* in trouble for murder, had to turn to Peter and think
quite differently towards him.  He saw how truly cowardly and scared
he can be.  How he runs and squeals.

But in James' eyes, Peter did a "good" thing.  Peter saved Snape's
life, Lupin's secret, and Sirius' reputation.  So really, to James,
Peter would be someone to make a sound moral decision even when it
could get him in trouble too.  He did run to James and told him what
they did.  *Like* a man needing confession.

To Sirius, Peter did not have the same...eh....(can I say this on the
site?)...oh well...did not have the balls to stand up with his
actions.  If Peter did help Sirius' with the prank, which I must say
Elkins I now firmly believe he did, then his yellow skin is really
showing.

I guess I ask...was that skin truly yellow at first or was it
calculated even then?
