There were four heroes as it were in the previous generation and one of them betrayed the others, and then there were the three. So I wanted Harry to be surrounded by… James and Sirius and Lupin, all of whom had died in a way for him. You know Lupin had laid down his life in Harry’s battle, he didn’t have to come back, he didn’t have to fight. James had died trying to protect the family; Sirius very obviously had died fighting along with Harry.

happy birthday to @meraudurs​, love you elena! ♥
