"They look terrible," he said, chuckling. "Just the type of furniture Hagrid would have." Not that Peter was a connoisseur, but he knew enough to know how badly they looked.
Peter ruffled Sirius' hair without thinking. When he realized that he was doing, it was too late to stop without making it weird. "You look better than I expected." He didn't believe for a bloody moment that Sirius was really all right with everything that happened.

"So how are you? For real. I'll start. Losing Cassandra sucks. We weren't in love, not like James and Lily, but I liked her and she liked me. Girls were always flocking to you and James but they never looked at me twice, but she did and I enjoyed talking to her, not just because she paid attention to me, but because she knew so much and we could talk about everything. Now she's gone, I don't have a job, and we don't get to finish the greenhouses. So yeah, it sucks," he said with a sigh.
