I thought that was a bit suspicious how oblivious he was to the female attention and how focused he was on James for always. And the contrast is huge, because James barely notices anything BUT girls and whether they're paying attention to him, which seems normal for a teenage boy. But I think that makes me like Sirius more.Megshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967657695336270359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252631163414371464.post-55553505198986089032013-04-08T10:37:31.632-07:002013-04-08T10:37:31.632-07:00Well...Lupin is still alive.
