Evans was certain about everything, and convinced she had the right of it all, especially when it came to James Potter.

James was equally as certain that nothing in life was ironclad or inevitable as she seemed to make it out to be, except perhaps, for the pair of them.


An eternity, at times, can fit into a handful of years, a hundred kisses, a cheeky phrase.

"Alright, Evans?"

“How would you feel about a free trip to France this summer?” Marlene says, but there’s something odd in the way she’s standing, holding herself a little too still to be truly relaxed.

“That depends,” Sirius says, putting his hands in his pockets and leaning against the wall. “What’s the catch?”

On one hand, he does quite like France. On the other, he can’t imagine he’s the first choice Marlene would have for a holiday companion.

Sirius Black was a womanizer.

 

Well, that was one way to put it, anyway. There were others, but they weren't so polite. The point was, Sirius had been with a lot of girls. Peter wasn't really keeping track - really, he wasn't, it wasn't like he was keeping a list or something - but he knew that it was an impressive number. A number that put the rest of the Marauders to shame.

Sirius looks as if he's frozen. There is no emotion in his face and I think for just a moment that I see fear in his eyes.

"I'm sorry I said anything, but you wouldn't let me go. Can we just pretend I never said anything at all?" I murmur.
