Lily wants to talk. Uh oh.

Remus scratches at the door.

Amy Pond meets wizards

Harry is almost ready to face Voldemort.

In the common room with Lily

Time with Remus

Early morning Quidditch game with Lily

James Potter and his ego

[It's a few days after the dance, after school had already taken place that week, before Sirius decides. He knows his misery and bad attitude have been wearing on his friends, and if truth be told he's more than tired of it himself, but he can't seem to shake it living there. Trying to pretend like his world hadn't fallen apart, that things were ( Read more... )

[Hours after Sirius had finally shaken off Chelsea in the shopping district (he'd ducked into the toilets and climbed out the window into a back alley) and gotten home, he was still waiting for Remus to get home. He'd been planning to tell Remus a great story about the girl wearing almost nothing and flirting with him entirely too obviously, but ( Read more... )

[During their free period in the afternoon, while most of the other students are in their Defense class, Sirius is quietly serving his "detention" in the empty Transfiguration classroom. McGonagall has him working on research, and while it's infinitely boring, at least he doesn't have to concentrate too hard.]

[Between classes, Sirius had slipped ( Read more... )

He's had some time to think, and while he still has no excuse for being so rude to Remus, he's greatly looking forward to crawling ( Read more... )

[Sirius has been tinkering with the bike for the past week to prepare for the Marauder's Great Adventure. He's added charms so that it can handle the weight of all three boys and their stuff (after all, it's not like they're taking Hagrid on the bike or anything), and a spiffy sidecar so the person on the back is not in danger of falling off and ( Read more... )

[Sirius grabs Remus' hand and leads him out of the room and into a quiet corner.] What kind of club did James tell you Babylon was, exactly?

[Sirius is hurriedly picking up his flat, flinging cleaning spells this way and that. He hasn't be here in a few weeks, and it's obvious by the dust that has accumulated, but after a few spells the flat is looking cleaner, if not spotless.]

[He'd sent owls out to both James and Remus, eager to have a little get together after everything that had ( Read more... )
