Sirius didn't need this right now. He should be planning fun parties and running around causing trouble with James. He didn't need to be sitting out in the grass holding him because Remus couldn't take the stress he was under. He shut his eyes, and for a selfish moment just relished the warmth being given to him. He let himself relax, just for a few sweet seconds. All he needed in the world was the person holding him.
Not wanting to put Sirius through anything else, he eased back and smiled at him. "I'm all right," he said. "Just the Prophet article, made me a little on edge. But it's all right. Nothing I haven't seen or heard before. I won't let it get me down anymore."
