Enjoyed both of these, especially the first one. Really liked how Petunia was polishing the silverware and that staring at her upside-down reflection didn't bring to mind a murderer at the mention of Black but, instead, James and his friends who, even in her mind, didn't quite make it as far as being criminals. There also seemed a hint of fondness in the memories of Lily for a second before she brought herself back to reality.
Just to go off at a slight tangent for a sec, do you think the "awful boy" was James? Or could it be Snape? I keep reading this theory and wondering... ;)
In the second one, I love the image of Crookshanks trekking through the snow carrying the parchment and quill for Sirius. Part of me would love to know what name Sirius used to sign it, as I'm sure it would have been most apt, lol. It's a touching reminder of what Sirius would do and suffer for Harry.
Both really nicely done. Thanks for posting them here as I'm an infrequent visitor at the SQ and would have missed them. :)
