James Potter appreciates the little things.
He appreciates the way that Sirius is never without a smile, even when he is lost himself.
He appreciates it when Remus lets them get up to mischief without saying a word against it; even if he's struggling not to.
He appreciates it when Peter leaves people alone when they're upset; Peter knows not to push people into telling.
He appreciates it when Lily lets him get away with so much more than he should, because she needs a laugh as well sometimes.
James Potter may appreciate the little things but he loves the big things.
He loves Sirius who is a brother to him. Sirius: the lively boy who never even stops to breathe.
He loves Remus who he can talk to about anything. Remus: the boy who understands.
He loves Peter who is always willing to try new things. Peter: the boy who never says no.
He loves Lily who is always there for him. Lily: the girl who can always make his day better.
Love may be his downfall but it is still the thing that keeps him going, day after day.
