James' hands were in his pockets, clenched into tight fists. He actually spent a good half hour walking about, just trying to cool down, though he couldn't seem to manage it. Every time he got close, the image of Lily sitting with Snivellus, smiling and laughing and have a good time with Snivellus, the cold rage/fear washed over him again and it became harder to breathe. The chill of the air was nothing to the cold inside, the ice of his stomach sitting there, and part of him worried the ice would begin to cover his heart, as well.
Finally, he couldn't stand being alone anymore, and he went where he'd intended to go all along, to Sirius'. This time when he knocked on the door, there was something more insistent, more urgent to the sound, and to the way his voice cracked when he called out to his best mate.
"Sirius! Open the fucking door!"
