Sirius wondered if he’d purposely styled it like that, or if James Potter had been in a freak potions explosion earlier that day. Either way, it was intriguing.

Letting himself get really really down really cheered Sirius up. Depression might have felt like wearing damp socks but at least it was safe and secure. Nothing could threaten it, nothing could take it away. Happiness by comparison, Sirius mused, letting his dark hair fall artfully over one side of his forehead, was fragile. Sometimes he thought he didn’t want to be happy because happiness always ended. He didn’t really want to be happy, cause it was just downhill from there.
