*smacks forehead*  Yeah, and that would have been me who originally 
pointed out that Sirius and Peter had *arranged* to meet on that 
night.  Call it momentary lapse of memory on my part.

Would Peter have stepped out for something as inconsequential as tea, 
knowing the Sirius was on his way?  No, of course not.  But he might 
have been called out for something more important - and yes, I'll 
even agree that it could have been something that didn't bode well 
for James and Lily.  But it could also have been something as 
innocuous as a private meeting with DD - one which left no time to 
contact Sirius to tell him of the change in plans.

Yeah, it's a stretch.  It still doesn't let Sirius off the hook.
