"Hey, James! Look at this!"
"What is it, Padfoot?" James asked with a yawn.
"Slughorn's coming back to Hogwarts!"
His answer was a grunt, followed by James walking towards him with a blanket tugging behind.
"Eh?"
"Remember that potions teacher? Pot bellied slytherin? Well, Dumbledore just convinced him to come back to Hogwarts using Harry!"
"Good." He peered down for a few more seconds, looking at the figure of his son retreating into the Burrow, and yawned. "Now can I sleep?"
Sirius rolled his eyes. "Please sleep forever and never annoy me again."
But inside, all Sirius was thinking was, what if he's on the dark side?

"Oh. My. God."
James and Sirius sat near the screen, gaping like fish as they saw the Weasley's wizard wheezes.
"Close your mouth, flies will get in" Lily teased.
"Lily! That shop is even better than freaking zonkos!"
"Are you kidding me? This almost makes me wish I wasn't here! Almost!"
Lily just grinned while they continued their comments, but she was impressed too.
"Can you believe what we could do with all that?" Sirius said pointing to the stacks of toffees.
"Just look at that!" James said pointing to the defence section with a longing look.
"Those Weasley's are sure taking over us with this!"
"Good to know there'll be someone to keep up the tradition, yeah?" They gave each other a high five, though there was a wistful look in their eyes.
For a second, all 3 of them were vulnerable.
