"How in bloody hell do you forget about a hippogriff?" James blinked at him, slightly bemused.

"I certainly hope he's got enough sense to stay in one place, anyway, things could get ...sticky."

"Well it's not like I take him with me everywhere!"

Sirius casts about and then draws his wand.

"I'm going to go get him. Broke out a few weeks ago, actually, and he'll be completely off his nut with all the nonsense going on."

"I'm coming with you," James says firmly.

"I don't care if you don't want me to, I'm not letting you get eaten by creepy ocean-demon monsters."

"The hell you are! It is unspeakably dangerous, anything could happen to you, and there's no need for you to stick your neck out like that! You are going to stay home where it's safe."

Sirius ends up standing over James, thundering in a way that only Blacks can thunder (well, he had to inherit something from his mother) his finger about an inch from James's nose. ...He maintains this pose for perhaps three whole seconds before something in James's face penetrates the cloud of protective fussiness just enough to burst it.

"...Oh sweet Merlin's stale beard crumbs, I sound like Molly. Get your bloody coat and if you die I will go completely mad, James Potter. I will chew up my wand."
