The sound of rapid, incessant knocking echoed throughout the small, dimly-lit hallway.  Standing outside the door that opened into Sirius’s flat, James Potter ran a frustrated hand through his ever-messy hair.

“Padfoot,” he tried, “c’mon, mate; let me in.”

Oh wow! This is really powerful, and so sad. That's so very Sirius, to withdraw into himself when there's nothing else to be done. Poor James, having to be so grown-up and knowing he's going to die. I never really thought about how he must have felt before - it's really quite chilling, now you've made me consider it! Great job :-)

Thank you! I agree, it is rather quite a disparaging thought, knowing that he knew he was going to die. Their lives were such a sad tale.

Aww that was so good and sad all at once. I had never really thought about how the whole "they go into hiding" thing happened, but wow, this makes so much sense. Poor little Sirius, knowing he's gonna lose his best friend, and poor James, knowing he'll die, but still hoping Lily and Harry'll survive. This is such a huge tragic story, in the whole... :(

It really, really is. Such horrible things happened to them; it makes me sad.

Thanks, dear!

This is very powerful. I love the way you handled the characters and the deep friendship between them. The ending is perfect, it's very them and that's what makes it so much more heartbreaking.

Thank you so much!

Oh, I really, really liked this. It just captured the way Sirius is to me, completely. And how I imagine James. So <3
