[video]

[The video opens on a close up of a messy head of black hair, along with a pair of brown eyes and glasses staring fascinated at the camera, grinning broadly.]

This thing is brilliant! On my way to detention with Filch, then I end up here? I’ll take that any day. Figuring out Muggle contraptions is loads more fun than polishing trophies for the five hundred and eleventh time. Though I suppose he could have had something more evil in mind, he had a suspciously creepy smile when I saw him last time. [He pulls the camera back and tugs at his dogtags thoughtfully, then runs a hand through his hair, which just serves to make it even messier.]

Can’t say I’ve ever ended up in America before, and I can’t apparate yet, so I s’pose ...[There’s a little pause.] I don’t suppose there are any wizards here? Or anyone that knows how to get me back to Hogwarts?

[Permaction :B ]

[Sirius grabs it and throws it right back.]

SHHHH D'you want to wake up the whole house? Bluffles'll kill me if he knows I was-

[The small choking sound you just heard was Sirius processing that the thing that he was constantly missing, that voice that he was always waiting to hear, so badly that his head had started to produce for him, was in fact not coming from inside his head. (You'd think the pillow would have clued him in, but such things are so much a part of his dialogue with his best friend that it had been included.)

[The only logical response Sirius has to this is to throw himself bodily onto James and attempt to break all of his bones. Presumably in an effort to ensure that he will be incapable of leaving.]

[For his part, Sirius is making weird little whining noises that are not sobbing, which is the only thing keeping him from screaming at the top of his lungs.]

Oh Merlin it's actually you!

[He ends up with his face buried in James's neck and his arms locked around James's ribcage and Sirius might smell like dog but James smells like James, and not all the squirming in the world will avail him. But at least Sirius no longer seems to be trying to cripple him.]

Don't think I've forgiven you, for not being you last time.

Well I had to join you sometime, didn't I?

[He huffs a sigh and relaxes, but Hug Time is continuing. As is James Potter Is My Mattress Time. It takes him a little while to answer, though, as his initial response ('I have been pining for you, soul brother, that's what') is not something you say unless you want to be called girls names for the rest of your life.]

Your son is a real chip off the old block. Gave me quite a turn, didn't he?

[Oh Merlin's balls it was so unbelievably wonderful to be chided and poked and called "Pads" properly again. Sirius smiles and snuggles in. He is an World-Cup-grade snuggler and tonight he is in top form.]

Technically that's not true, for one thing, even if it is logistically impossible what with all the having nothing to do with you all females studiously practice.

However, my keen powers of deduction tell me that you haven't met Harry yet, have you?

That...icon. IT'S PLATONIC SNUGGLING, SHEESH.

Huh. Old Moony's a little on the cautious side with his info these days. Positively cagey about some things, dunno why.

Speaking of, so Moony's old now, right? So we know, therefore, that the teleporting thing takes people from different times, yes? So he's basically old enough to be our dad, see? And naturally where he's from we are old enough to be dads, follow? Well congratulations, Prongsie, you are one. Will be one. Healthy, bouncy baby boy name of Harry, and the Porter grabbed him too, when he was 18. Nice lad, bit shy, probably just overwhelmed at his sudden circumstances, completely understandable, considering. Showed up in Auror's robes and all, quite dashing, testament to the love of adventure and daring-do intrinsic to your bloodline.

[The snuggling comes with babbling, of course. Silence will come soon, however, as this is Sirius's sleepy sort of babble, and James is very comfortable, as well as very comforting.]

Fanservice, fanservice, fanservice. ;)

Mmm. I was home. Jus' after the end of fifth year. Mum was all... [He manages to lift a hand for a moment, in a vague, illustrative gesture.] You know.

Apparently I've been here before. When I was older. So I'm a legend in two realities, ha! When they give me a trophy for it, [yaaaawn] you shall be allowed to polish it.

Oh, but nobody does it like you, James. Jus' the way I like it. With the- the spit shine. Elbow... grease...

[And with these illustrious words, Sirius Black falls asleep. He will wake up with his face more or less buried in James Potter's armpit, a decision he will regret keenly in the morning, but these are the small prices we pay for the treasure of friends regained.]
