fun fact: daniel specifically asked to be placed near this one extra he had a crush on during this scene. alan and michael did this on purpose not just to prank daniel, but to make him embarrassed infront of her
What really gets me is that the star of the entire franchise had a crush on an extra and if you don’t think that is the fucking cutest thing ever, you, good sir, are wrong.
“When did you find out?” Sirius asks, his face drawn and pale, his hands twisting the blanket into a hard rope of fabric between his fingers. “When did you know?”
The memories come back, a flood of images playing in James’ mind, like faded photographs strung up on a tattered piece of string. It’s thousands of glances and small smiles, gentle touches and cups of tea, nights spent with the curtains of one bed opened and the other closed. All the mornings doing homework and all the evenings curled up in front of the fire and James smiles at the thought of them, Sirius and Remus and all the hidden moments they shared.
It’s the way Sirius lit up whenever he saw Remus, from that first, fierce glance on the train, the look of desperation before the Full, the hidden glances and the quiet stares and the way his eyes flicked away whenever Remus turned around. It was the rain, plastering both their hair to their heads, Remus’ laugh as he watched Sirius zoom around the Quidditch Pitch.
And it was smaller things - the way Sirius refused to let go of Remus’ hand during the Full Moons, the way Remus went to pieces the night Sirius ran. He still sees the night in his dreams sometimes - Sirius, half-dead on the couch, Remus slamming his hand into the wall, the blood that covered the ground in pools of shifting crimson.
He remembers when he saw Remus and Sirius on the roof together, tangled up against each other as the stars rose in the sky. The way Remus leaned back against Sirius’ chest, how Sirius gently kissed Remus’ forehead and James had quickly shut the window, not wanting to take away yet another thing from them both.
He looks up at Sirius, his pale face and worried eyes and James smiles, hoping that his brother could see everything, the elation he felt at knowing that the two people who had suffered the most in life finally were able to find each other.
“When did you know?” Sirius repeats again, his voice trembling and James laughs.

Forgive me if you are not living. If you, beloved, my love, if you have died, all the leaves will fall on my breast. It will rain on my soul all night, all day. My feet will want to march to where you are sleeping. But I shall go on living.
R.I.P. Alan Rickman (21st February 1946 - 14th January 2016)
Words cannot begin to describe how much you will be missed.
