"So...what's up?"

Sirius had quickly changed his tune, but stopping his taunting hadn't stopped his ability to annoy.

And Cedric was annoyed.

"Did you know Black was arrested at 21?"

She blinked.

"And it's not like he matured in Azkaban!" He grumbled, "Just 21!? I turned 20, yesterday-"

"-you did?-"

"-yet he keeps treating me like a child!"

Suddenly, it clicked. "Cedric, do you respect Sirius?!"

A blush bloomed across his cheeks. "He became an animagus at 15!" He rushed to justify.

"...right~"

"I'm serious!"

"No, I am!" Sirius chimed, entering the room.

She snorted.
