Because of Ruby • Peter Pettigrew

Ruby McNamara.

That was her name.

She talked to him at least everyday. She didn't say much, but it was enough. She even let him pet her dog Skipper a few times, even though he never asked. He knew not to.

She was nice. She saw beauty in everyone, even Peter. She always made an effort to talk to him, even though most people besides the rest of the Marauders didn't. It made him happy. He liked that she only cared about the inside, because she didn't see the outside. She couldn't, and she was okay with that.

They had offered to get her "fixed." But Ruby didn't need fixing. She didn't need to be fixed, as this wasn't a flaw. Being blind wasn't a flaw at all, because she didn't want to see the outside, she didn't need to see the outside. She wanted to see who her real frineds were, and who was nice and who wasn't.

Everyday she talked to Peter.

Every. Single. Day.

Because Peter was beautiful. She didn't know what he looked like on the outside, she didn't want to know who he looked like on the outside. The only thing she knew was that he was beautiful.

Peter didn't think he was beautiful. He was more on the thicker side. He wasn't as attractive as the rest of the Marauders. He wasn't as clever as the rest of the Marauders, and sometimes he didn't even feel like an actual Marauder.

But Ruby changed that. Ruby was the source of his courage and bravery, and she didn't know how much it helped not only him, but other people too.

Because of Ruby, his whole fate might be changed.

Because of Ruby, Peter might not make the mistake that would ruin his and other lives too.

All because of a blind girl named Ruby.
