Sirius (at Harry’s first birthday party): Everybody gather around so we can toast and celebrate the first year of Harry’s life!
Lily (whispering): James, he’s drunk, take the mic from him!
James (gently grabbing the mic from Sirius): Hey buddy can I just have this-
Sirius (snatching it back): I think not. Now, I don’t like children. I never have. Their small features and stilted movements remind me of tiny demons. Or Regulus. But not Harry! This little boy means so, so much to me. He’s going to do great things when he grows up and I am so proud to be his Godfather.
Lily (open mouthed silence)
James (stifling his laughter)
Sirius (raising his glass): Happy birthday Harry! To angels among demons! Cheers!
