"Jealous, I am certainly not," he retorts, shaking his head. James's rat's nest is a artfully created thing and he won't have it talked badly about, either. It takes a certain amount of mussing and fussing to get it to look this way, something he has perfected over the years. "I shudder to think what your idea of fixing is Sirius, so no thank you."
James hasn't bought anyone presents either, so he's not all that offended if Sirius hasn't gotten him anything. There will be plenty of other Christmases, he's just happy he got to be a part of this one at all. "I didn't get you anything either, as my arrival was obviously the gift that keeps on giving."
James glances towards Kieren, tries to remember if Sirius had ever had the stones to cut his hair short. It might have been shorter in first year, he thinks, but definitely still longer than he's sure Mrs Black appreciated. There had, of course, been the time James convinced him to try out his dad's first tester batch of Sleekeazy's. It hadn't been quite ready at all, and Sirius's hair had fallen out and gone patchy in places. James thinks it's about the most horrified he's ever seen him. "Not by choice. There was an accident, or two."
