Kreacher was surprised to find the young Master Black (the blood-traitor, yes, shame of his family) back so soon, but Sirius feigned illness with the house elf and went to his room to sleep, ordering Kreacher to stay out. He wanted to be undisturbed. The first thing he did, of course, was find some place to conceal his small stash of Floo Powder. He'd have to use it sparingly, to make sure it lasted. Then, he lit a fire and threw a pinch of powder on it, dropping to his knees to call James' house. He didn't even bother to change out of his sickening Slytherin robes. There were some things more important than clothes, and he didn't know how long he had until his family came home. |

James was flopped on his bed, scribbling in a plain black notebook; it was his father who was nearest the fire, reading, and so it was his father who saw Sirius first. "Sirius!" He looked up, putting his book to one side. "What's... never mind. I'll get James, shall I? JAMES!" Cupping one hand around his mouth, he stood up and tugged the door open, shouting up the stairs. For an old man, he had a surprisingly powerful voice. "JAMES! SIRIUS WANTS TO TALK TO YOU!" "COMING!" James shouted back, his voice muffled by the closed room he was in. A split second later, there was a dull thud as he jumped out of bed, then the sound of somebody running down the stairs. He sprinted into the room a second later, his hair even messier than usual and his glasses askew. He was wearing faded cutoffs and nothing else; never mind anything else, it was hot! Pausing to shoot his dad a grateful smile, he squatted down next to the fire. "Sirius, are you okay? Did they do something to you?" "Call me when you're done," Mr Potter said with a little smile, and withdrew, closing the door after him. |

"Thanks, Nick," Sirius said with a grin, lying flat on the floor of his room to be in the most comfortable position. His grin grew when he saw James, and he laughed at his friend's outfit. "Merlin, Jamie! A bit hot over there or something? I'm fine, actually. Malfoy's throwing a Midsummer bash of the boring sort, but he sent me home feigning sickness. Probably because I was getting in his way of flriting with Cissy." Sirius shook a little to get his hair out of his face. "Nicked some of his powder so I didn't have to waste time tearing this place apart to find ours. Can I come over? I've probably got at least an hour. Maybe two." |

James glanced around, nodding. "Yeah, sure. And don't take the piss out of the outfit, not when you're wearing that shit. It's hot, just like me." Grinning, he stood up, stepped back a little way, and collapsed into one of the comfortably-upholstered chairs. "Come on, then. Mum made biscuits today, too. It's like she knew you were coming." |

Sirius pulled back and got to his feet before stepping through the fire and into James' home. He brushed a bit of soot off his robes and gave a twirl for James, showing off the green and silver robes. "But don't I look the part of a proper Slytherin prince in these?" he asked, before sinking into the same chair James was in, flinging his arm around his friend. "It is hot here. The Manor's colder. Probably all those purebloods dropping the temperature. You know how frigid they can get." |

James snorted, hugging his friend back. "I don't know if it's escaped your notice, Pads, but you're pretty pureblood yourself. Nice robes. Want to borrow a t-shirt and jeans?" Laughing, he shifted into a more comfortable position, swinging his legs up onto the arm of the chair. "So, how's the summer going? Anyone tried to kill you yet, or are they saving that for later?" |

"Yes." Sirius was tugging at the collar of his robes, already looking uncomfortable in the heat. "I'm a blood-traitor, Jamie. That means my cooling system's broke. Like yours." He reached up, running his fingers through James' messy hair. "No death threats yet, but they took my broom, so that's as good as one, right? Oh, and three girls tried to wring marriage proposals out of me in the past hour or so. I don't know if it's because they don't know my reputation or if it's because Regulus is positively grotesque beside my vision of Black beauty." |

"Mixture of the two?" James suggested, straightening his glasses, and pried himself out of the chair. "Come on, I've got your stuff up in my room. And they took your broom?" He clicked his tongue, looking thoroughly horrified. "Those bastards! C'mon, Pads. You can borrow mine for a bit, if you want. It'll do you good to get your feet off the ground again." |

"Jamie, have I ever mentioned that you're the best? Because you are the best." Sirius was quick to follow James upstairs. The mix of muggle clothing and a broom was far too tempting to do otherwise... and Beth made cookies? Sirius caught James up in a hug as they reached the top of the steps. "Merlin, I've missed you, and it's only been a couple weeks. Every summer's worse than the last." |

James laughed, returning the hug, and ruffled Sirius' hair. "I'm just a saint. Saint Potter. And I've missed you too." Looking a little more serious, he stepped back into his room, holding the door open for Sirius. "Are you sure you're okay? I've been worried about you. MUM!" Turning away for a moment, he yelled down the stairs. "MUM, SIRIUS WANTS BISCUITS!" |
