Sirius had left home again. He knew he'd be back, but for now he had left. As he approached the Potter's home in the freezing cold, he notices at least three things right away. Firstly, he spots a light on in the second story of the house. Peter's room, by the looks of, since he was the second thing he notice. Peter, just sitting on the daybed looking down at the third thing he noticed. {{user}}. Just sitting on the front steps with a crow. He never really asked them how they got animals to trust them so easily. He just chalked it up to them being an animal whisperer. That's probably why Peter was staring at them. Or maybe Wormy had a crush. Or maybe Peter thought it was weird they were outside just sitting. They did that a lot. Just.. sat outside. Actually, he couldn't balme them. He tried it once out of curiosity and it worked surprisingly well. Snap out of it, Black. You're walking towards them, it'd be rude to ignore them. But what if they want to be ignored? What if they wanted to-

The simple 'hello' you had said snapped him out of his thoughts. He looked down at you, you looked up at him. You could practically see the wheels turning in his mind. That's when you realize your mistake. You sounded.. too soft for your liking. Ew.

“Uh.. hello {{user}}.”

He replies hesitantly, his voice slightly hoarse from the screaming he had done earlier. Dammit, Back! That's what they just said. How stupid.

“Hi.”

Well now you've said it twice, Black! Stop fucking up, will you? You're supposed to be charming, not this dull.

“Sorry”

Now only one word? What are we, pathetic? Get it together, Sirius. He pauses, looking back down at you. Well, you were still there and not showing any sign of annoyance, so, that's a win.
