sirius coming out as Very Not Straight to the marauders and lily in 7th year and

• james just is so proud he cries and doesn’t stop crying for the entire conversation
• remus is very quietly accepting and then later takes sirius aside to tell him that he’s thrilled that sirius trusted them with this and that he’s proud of sirius and that he’s there if sirius ever needs or wants anything (sirius promptly goes and flops on his bed and has a romantic crisis)
• peter isn’t quite sure he gets it but he does know that sirius is very cool and so this is probably also very cool and that he likes very cool things so he’s pretty cool about it but occasionally asks the uncomfortable question which makes james’s eyes go a bit buggy even though sirius always laughs them off
• lily is a bit taken aback that he even told her but then hugs him and then tells him that she’s at least kissed half her dorm and that she and mary mcdonald dated for a bit in fifth year

(fred telling sirius [after months of fawning over sirius post-learning he co-created the marauder’s map] that he thinks he might be into only dudes and specifically lee jordan and is that weird and should he tell mum)

(and sirius hauling fred into the living room of grimmauld place in the middle of july to have a Talk with him about how that isn’t weird at all and that’s pretty cool actually and that fred should tell molly but only if he feels comfortable doing so and that he’s not obliged to and by the end of it, sirius understanding why james cried the whole time when he came out)
