Re: Peter - Sirius - Onlookers? Referees?
James breathed a little easier when the wand went down, but he didn't expect Sirius' reaction. "It's okay. I got you, baby," he whispered as he wrapped one arm around Sirius' waist and brushed his hair with the other.
"It's going to be all right. We're going to go home, and you'll forget all about tonight." He'd make sure that Sirius could truly forget about Pettigrew and betrayal and all connected to it, even if it was just for a few hours. "Whenever you're ready, we can go." Until they could stay here, and if anyone even thought about saying anything to Sirius, they'd be the ones paying the price.
