"You never really knew that person, you might have liked him better." Sirius teased lightly, "Thanks." Any other day he might have laughed, come back with some sort of teasing remark to James' assertion that he would get to make him feel better - but tonight he needed to hear that and he kissed him again.
He nodded. "I know he does, but I'll be alright." He agreed with James. "Yeah, that's some of what I've been thinking. I'd love to work with you, but I don't want people thinking I'm getting preferential treatment because of my relationship with Harry, or even our relationship. I'm going to give it a few more days thought before I make up my mind though." He was already leaning in one direction though.
He smiled when James bit his shoulder, but sobered a moment later when he asked if he would sleep and then he shrugged. "I'm not sure, I kept myself busy most of the day to help, but I have a feeling even if I do manage to fall asleep I'll be up several times."
