For the Wizarding World, October 31, 1981 was a day of salvation and celebration. For Sirius Black it was the day that his world ended, no matter how many times he tried to convince himself that it was all a dream. Oneshot.
James has been pining after Lily since fourth year. Now, a few months into their sixth year, she finally gives him a chance and he blows it. When all seems lost, it's good to have friends.
