*pets him* He didn't mean to almost get everyone killed.

Not a very happy drunk, is he? Poor Sirius.

"Give him time," James went on. "Meantime, I'm here, and I won't let you destroy yourself."

OK, that line did not make me cry, see? I've, uh, just got something in my eye. *sniff*

Well...I imagine he gets better as he gets older and starts to drink in moderation.

Thank you. :)

Poor Sirius...

I want to hug him. Or do something more...dirty. ;)

[thistlerose]

*hugs Sirius*

Group hug. :)

Considering the fact that this made me tear up a bit, I don't know that I'd call it a Sirius happy fic, but I still love it. :)

It's so very Sirius, that he would go and get drunk after The Prank incident, and the entire scene comes off perfectly (if painfully!). The inclusion of the house elves is great, too.

[thistlerose]

Thank you. :)

I was torn about including the Prank. Part of me thinks that he wouldn't get drunk - that he'd want to face things sober. But he's so young - and melodramatic. He'll be braver once he sobers up.

The house elves were kind of fun to write. I find them creepy, but...entertaining, sometimes.

Wonderful! So much love for James! Oh, Sirius! *sigh*

The moon burst like a an egg yolk and splattered.

That is such a fantastic image/description!

[thistlerose]

I'm rather fond of that image too. *g*

Thanks so much!
