Chapter 1: A sad sight
- Sirius's POV -
"Hey Prongs…"
"Sirius."
I closed my eyes. I had finally found him. I went to report him something for our job but he wasn't home. Lily didn't know where he was and she looked bad. So I went to look for him. Poor girl. He was, as usual, in a bar, getting drunk. I opened my eyes again and sent him a little smile.
"What's up?" James asked.
"Looking for you man. I went to Godric's Hallow but you weren't there."
"Got something to tell me?"
"Actually I do. You're flying to New York tomorrow afternoon to help the freaking team win. They're nothing without you. Norman called a few hours ago. Said they needed you. So go home to your wife, get some sleep, whatever…"
But James' attention was on the woman sitting next to him, a smirk on his face while looking her up and down.
"James, go to Lily."
"God Sirius, what will I do with Lily?"
"Euhh…"
I didn't know what to say. It had been the same way for a long time now. Something had to be done but what?
"Buddy, go home, get some sleep. You have a long way to go tomorrow."
"Yeah okay."
I could see he was frustrated. He was normal during daytime, practicing either with me or together with the whole team. Okay, so maybe he liked a bit the attention he was receiving from women, especially after winning a quidditch game but that was normal no? I did too. But I wasn't married. Anyways, it was much worse during nighttime. I always found him in a bar, getting drunk, flirting with other women. It was a sad sight, knowing Lily was waiting for him at home. But I couldn't help. It had been like this for so long, and I still didn't figure out what to do.
