Oh Sirius, I am so sorry. *reaches out awkwardly*

[grim_smile]

*gentle, but a bit stiffly*
Thank you, Harry. I- *forced smile* You know what they say. War is hell.

[harriedpotter]

*looks sympathetic, if not worried for Sirius and his own future with war being hell*

Yeah. We just lost McGonagall and I remember all too well what it was like to lose you. *holds his arms out for a hug* I know I'm not my father or Remus, but...

[grim_smile]

*small but genuine smile*
*loops one arm about Harry's back, tugging him in for a bit of a rough hug, patting him on the back*
*sets his chin on the top of Harry's head for a moment, inhaling his scent before straightening*

*ruffles his hair companionably*
*little smile, sly about the edges*
I imagine you miss me most of all, right? You can lie to me; I don't mind.

[harriedpotter]

*brightens with the affection and tries not to get fussy about being let go, as he's there to comfort Sirius and not the other way around*

*ponders expressing that he didn't get enough hugs as a child*

*blushes and looks around to make sure no one else is listening, because he doesn't want to make anyone feel bad*

Yeah. I miss you most of all. It felt like you were the only one who really wanted to know me just for me.
