Who: James Potter and Sirius Black
What: Just a bit of a bromance.
Where: Roof of Building D
When: Afternoon of Tuesday, December 13th..
Status: In Progress

It was still only afternoon, but winter had set in to a point that the sky was starting to get dark even before Sirius finished his shift and apparated up to the roof of the building for a quick cigarette before he went back down to the flat. There really wasn't room for the number of people currently rammed into that limited amount of space - Sirius was starting to think it'd be easier if he just moved back into the few rooms he'd been in before James and Remus had been sent home and brought back. After all, that'd stop him running into Remus at every turn and doing his best to act as if things were normal (Which he didn't think he was doing a very good job of.). But then again, that also meant being on his own, and if there was one thing Sirius couldn't stand - besides cats, bruised bananas and that blue drink Juno guzzled - it was being left on his own.

Those were the thoughts whizzing chaotically around the animagus' head as he leant against the barrier at the edge of the roof. He was just considering the options, taking a drag from the almost-forgotten cigarette, when he heard the faint sound of someone joining him in the chilly night air. Sirius didn't need to look round to know it was James. Once you'd seen someone disappear under an invisibility cloak enough times, you started to recognise the sound of their footsteps. Still, Sirius turned his head to watch the other man approach him out of the corner of his eye. Once James was at his shoulder, Sirius allowed a vaguely teasing grin to ease across his face.

"Still in the doghouse?"

’Getting ready for Halloween’ So he must be from around the same point as Sirius had been when he’d first arrived there. Of course, in his head that had all been a year ago, and he’d had a birthday and all kinds of changes since then. It almost seemed like another life entirely. Which, he supposed, it had been. Sirius forced a smile and moved one elbow to nudge his best friend gently in the ribs. “You sappy git.”

“And how’s this charming land striking you?” Sirius stretched his arms up over his head and arched his back a little until something clicked satisfyingly. Merlin, perhaps he was getting old. “You know there’s like… experiments that happen to people? I was a girl for a fortnight.” He said it with some weird note of pride in his voice. But when you were approaching this topic it was best to start light, he decided.

"Yeah, well, Lily and little Harry do crazy things to me, what can I say? Becoming a father, it's incredible."

His eyes look a little lost, a little frightened, and more than a little in awe.

"I guess I always knew it was something that would happen to me, but jeez, holding that little guy in my arms..."

He shook his head.

"Changed into a girl? Really? What was that like?"

“Merlin, Prongs.” Sirius rolled his eyes and treated his best friend to a swift elbow in the ribs. “Stop mooning before I’m forced to clonk your head against a wall.”

He understood – of course he did. He loved Harry too, would lie down in traffic for the tiny boy with his shock of dark hair and bright green eyes. It was just that Sirius didn’t do emotions at the best of times, at least not without a drink to back him up. It wasn’t something that had ever been part of his nature – and anyone who had ever set foot in Grimmauld place would probably understand why. Frank discussion of how you were feeling was hardly encouraged in that house.

“It was okay,” Sirius shrugged, “Got a bit boring after a while, once you’d done all the obvious stuff.” It had been one of his first experiments in this place – back when Morgana and Hannah Abbot had both been around, rolling their eyes in his direction. Godric, it seemed like forever ago. “There were inferi and weird alien bludger things as well. It’s a bloody nightmare trying to get anything done."

James made a loud "oof" sound and punched Sirius in the shoulder, but not hard.

"Hey, have one of your own and see if you aren't a little moony too," he said with a small smile. "Unless you're worried about it coming out with three heads because of all the inbreeding in your family," he teased. He grinned slightly, and took another drag of the cigarette. He was pretty sure Lily'd be pissed if she knew he was smoking, and probably blame Sirius for it as she usually did. Ah, well, she'd kicked him out, so he had plenty of time to stop smelling like it.

"I don't think I'd get bored of the...obvious stuff," he grinned impishly, making hand signs to show exactly what he wouldn't get bored of doing. "But inferi? That doesn't sound like so much fun, actually."

Sirius recoiled lightly against the light punch to his shoulder, grinning as he did so. This was what he liked about hanging around with James - it was easy. Sirius didn't have to watch his tongue or second guess himself before he spoke, because it was James, who knew everything anyway.

"One of my Great Aunts had webbed toes," he told James absently. "Although I think that was 'cos of a hex." Although it could be inbreeding, quite frankly, the rate his family were having it off with their first and second cousins.

"You disgusting human," he told James, though he couldn't hold back the laugh at his best friends hand gesture. "Bloody lucky you're married already, cos there's no way you'd ever manage to pull with that." He shrugged and scratched at the edge of his nose. He better not be getting a cold. "It wasn't a barrel of laughs," he admitted. "One had a snack on my arm and then a muggle shot me in the head. But you know... stuff's not permanent here. I came back again."

	"You came back to life?" James said, with a blink. That was something that not even magic could do. Death was death, and when you died, you were gone forever. "So this place...it isn't real? It's like a dream?" He worried his bottom lip, thoughtfully, then blurted out what had been on his mind. "Sirius, what is it you and Lily aren't telling me?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
