"I'd say you inherited a great deal," Sirius says as he carefully pours each glass about half full one by one. "She's always been the more sensible of the two."
It occurs to him only as he's capping off the bottle of whiskey that he's used the wrong tense again, but he doesn't bother correcting himself, only forcing a smile as he grabs two of the glasses and turns, handing one off to Harry and one to Kieren. There's a hint of worry in Kieren's eyes when Sirius meets them and he tries to force himself to take a breath before taking his own glass.
"Everything's all set, really," he says then, taking a quick sip and relishing the burn as he waves a hand toward the stove. "Just take a seat and I'll serve us up. Unless you'd rather do the honours, of course."
