[heorot]

What's this? Why'd you call it- no, Sirius, stop I-

[ there's a pause, sounds of a struggle and what could probably pass as a triumphant laugh. ]

Right! Name's James Potter. 'pparently you can leave things here for me to read later? Brilliant.
Uh, what am I even supposed to say?

Wait, no, this is my bloody-

[ and the feed is cut off. blame sirius. ]

He-- he won't kill him. He wouldn't. I mean, he might say that, but-- there's no way.

[Remus stares up at James in mild shock.]

We can't kill him. I was just-- I more meant to, to distance ourselves from him in the future, in . . . god. God.

action;

[heorot]

You don't think I know when he's being serious?

[ there's something dark in james' face, something so dark he can't even look at remus. ]

Sirius has made up his mind and I won't let him do it. That's it.

action;

[theshabbiestofmen]

We won't.

[He shakes his head.]

We won't. He-- he'd regret it the moment he'd done it.

action;

[heorot]

But he'd have to do it for that to happen.

[ the worst part is that the look in sirius' eyes, the laugh, it was enough for james to actually think he'd so it. enough, and scared him.

a moment later, he laughs. a hollow, dark sound, as he rubs at his face. ]

Why did things have to get so cocked up, Moony?

action;

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He looks sadly up at him, his own expression exhausted.]

Because I think Voldemort is determined to ruin just about anything he comes in contact with, Prongs.

action;

[heorot]

But he hasn't even- [ yet. but he will. that's what this whole issue is to begin with, right? what happens in their future? ] He's doing a pretty good job so far.

[ a beat, and then he sighs. ]

I think I'll message Peter. We can work out how the rest of this happens then.

action;

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He nods slowly.]

We're all . . . we're all with you, James. You know that, right?

action;

[heorot]

[ there's a pause there when james just kind of looks at remus. just looks, then gives a faint smile. a little nod. ]

Yeah, yeah I know.

action;

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He nods, returning that small smile.]

We'll get this done. It'll be all right.
