“The traitor returns,” noted Sirius, as James collapsed onto his bed.

“You’re not really pissed I decided to go home for Christmas, are you?” asked James, rolling his eyes. “I know we said we were all going to stay, but…”

“Nah, we had a better time without you,” Sirius assured him. “You always put Peter in an awful mood. He told me he was glad you didn’t stay.”

“Don’t lie, Padfoot,” said Peter defensively. “I didn’t say that.”
