Oh, that was right. Sirius hadn't been around to see the rise of the legend around Harry, the way everyone treated him with awe. Most people thought he was this great saviour of the wizarding world.
"Well...Harry's pretty famous. He's the one who stopped You Know Who last time, and rumours about him spread quickly. I didn't think he'd be cruel, but he doesn't behave like a famous person at all. It seems to bother him---but after all the stories Rita Skeeter ran about him in the Prophet, I've started to see why." He wrinkled his nose. Those stories were so obviously false to anyone who had spent more than five minutes with Harry.
"Anyway...it's beautiful here," he almost smiled, gazing at a little pink creature rolling in front of them. "For a while I didn't think I'd see something like this again."
