"Evans - I resent that -" Sirius feigns annoyance, kicking his legs up on the bench in front and resting back. Truthfully, however, he hates going to Quidditch matches now. He'd been removed from the team last year due to bad behaviour, and he's still not really over the sting of it.

"I can be well behaved when I want to be." He mutters, squinting as he tries to spot James. "Plus -" Reaching into the inside of his jacket, Sirius pulls out a flask of Firewhisky. "This helps." It's offered to Lily. "Want some?"

Sirius rubs his hand over his face, a sigh falling from his lips. They've been dancing around each other for weeks, lingering glances, the weight of words unspoken. However, it's a little difficult to get space alone together in Grimmauld Place. There's always someone around - And if there isn't, Walburga's usually roaring her usual shit from her portrait. Doesn't exactly create a calm environment for talking.

Tonight, though - A rare moment of peace. He partly thinks it's been planned, everyone emptying out to give two old friends a chance to talk. Eyes turn towards him. The familiar flutter rises in his chest, always there when he's around Remus Lupin. It'd been dormant for years, but never extinguished. "I'm a wanted criminal, it's no life for you." As much as he longs to be selfish, Sirius knows that the situation is too complicated. "You deserve someone who can make you happy, Moonshine. Away from these depressing walls and the dulcet tones of Walburga." And yet, he reaches for Remus's hand, ever tactile, seeking reassurance as he plays with his fingers. "Do you think we'd still be together? If everything hadn't happened?" A soft smile forms on his lips. "Or would you have finally realised that you're far too good for me?"

I don’t have room… for anyone else’s pain right now

Remus is attempting to help, and Peter's panicking, but Sirius - He's more interested in finding the perpetrator. Mostly to congratulate them. He leans back against the pillar, eyes flicking to Lily. "Well, you wouldn't be either, if you were stuck in that shit - Actually -" He shifts position, leaning in a little closer to her. "Difficult to make Squonk Gel - I should know, we've tried a few times - Can never get it sticky enough." Eyes narrow, watching her for a moment. "Would take someone very clever to pull it off. And also, it'd have to be someone who hates James, cause that's -" He gestures to his best friend. "I mean, that's a miserable situation."

"Don't suppose you'd know anything about it, would you, Evans?"

@starcarved asked: “He’s not gonna be happy when he gets outta there.”

James Potter is a git. A toerag, if you will. A bully and an annoyance. Lily was growing increasingly tired of just how much of a wanker he was to Sev. She found little ways to retaliating against him nearly every time he pulled something. But this particular method may have been her crowning glory. Because there he was, trapped in a vat of Squonk Gel in the middle of the entrance hall, his movements agonizingly slow as warts began to cover his skin.

Madam Pomfrey would be able to cure him up in a jiffy, but that was no matter. What mattered was if Lily was going to be found out or not. And unfortunately, Sirius Black was probably the one most likely to unmask her. Still, maybe a week's worth of detention would be worth it.

"I don't think he looks terribly happy right now, to be fair."

"He's forgetting about me - I'm slowly being shifted to the back of James' mind and being replaced by a redhead." Sirius lifts his hand to his head dramatically, cigarette hanging from his lips. His attention, however, is soon distracted by the spark from Remus' fingers. A smile forms as he takes a drag. "You're too good to me, Moons. Budge up." He nestles himself down, wedging himself onto the bench and cuddling up against Remus. Eyes flick down to the book. "What're you reading?"

he doesn't look up from the book in his lap, and only hums in acknowledgement to his question on whether or not he was outside. remus only looks up when he begins talking. "i'm sorry that you're not the center of james' world now," he teased, before looking up as sirius patted for his lighter. a sigh fell past his lips -- dog-earing the page of his book and carefully shutting it before he pushed him self up. "m'fine. just enjoying the moonless sky." he held his hand up, and with a snap of his finger at the end of his cigarette -- remus lit the end. "been practicing, since you lose your lighter all the time."

~ @thechosengryffindor || will it always be like this? //For sirius ~

It breaks his heart - The vulnerability in the question. Harry's too young to have had to deal with all of this. He should've been out there having a childhood, causing chaos with teenage rebellion, not carrying the weight of a war on his shoulders.

He sits forward, resting his elbows on his knees and thinking a moment. He doesn't want to just shower Harry in empty platitudes and insincere sympathy. His godson deserves better than that.

"Do you know one of the best things about humans? We're great at finding the happiness in situations. As hard as life may get, we hope for a better tomorrow, and I know in my heart, Harry, that you'll get that. You have a whole Order of people -" He gestures out towards the kitchen of Grimmauld Place. "Who want a better life for you and will do anything to ensure that happens." His brow furrows. "I'm not going to lie to you, it's a shit situation and you don't deserve this. You've every right to be angry at the world but I promise you with everything I've got - I'll do my best to make sure that you have a fantastic life after this, Harry."
