Hy heart that is obsessed with fluff would say the first option, but my gut reaction is that it's both.
Because of the abuse his family had put him under, he wasn't exactly taught how to regulate he emotions. His friends helped with this, but every now and then, he just snaps. At face value, I see Sirius as an attention seeker, most of the time at least. Seeing that one of his first ever friend's attention wasn't souly focused on him and their little group, he became impulsive and did the first thing that came to mind. Unintentionally hurting everyone in the process and losing all his friends for a while.
It takes Sirius about a week to really wrap his head around what he did, with getting yelled at by nearly everyone in their friend circle, before it really hit him that he fucked up. Like he knew he had fucked up before then, but he was clinging to a reality that everything was fine.
He would be consumed with guilt and find himself having a midnight game of chess with Remus a few days later. Where they talk till dawn about everything, and Remus managed to really dig it all up and help Sirius to start to sort out his issues. He's by no means fixed. Their relationships aren't going to be what they were overnight, but it's a start.
A start that is filled with so much regret and guilt and Sirius swearing he will make it up to Remus until the day he dies, but it's a start because five years of memories doesn't go away overnight either.
Idk if this has been round tumblr yet, but how do we think Regulus would react to finding out about the "prank" that Sirius pulled on Remus in fifth year.
Already dating moonwater.
Remus is going to Regulus as soon as he can walk again, sobbing the hardest he ever has, inconsolable really. He has to get talked down from multiple panic attacks before he can even get a rough explanation out of what James had told him had happened, who at the time was shaking so badly from poorly concealed rage at Sirius.
But Sirius better count his days. If he isn't already disowned by now, he will be shortly because Regulus will stop at nothing to make his life a living hell until Remus and Sirius have made up on their own terms. He is beyond livid and manages to turn most of the school against Sirius when they don't even know what happened (like Harry's 4th year but worse)
I've been thinking about this for a while, mostly because I went from the House MD fandom back into the Harry Potter fandom.
So I have really been thinking about Wilson in the Harry Potter universe. Specifically him being apart of the Marauders.
He would be a Muggle born wizard who somehow knew more than the entire student body combined. Was sorted into Gryffindor.
He was that person that was incredibly kind and sweet to all, was on first names bases with everyone.
Was the type to get away with everything, like this dude received the most detention slips out of anyone for being out of bed past curfew, but didn't attend a single one and never got called out on it.
Made friends with the House elves and that's how he learned to become such a fantastic cook. His specialty was chocolate cake and them pancakes. (You all know the ones)
Was the first person to befriend Remus and figue out he was a werewolf. Gave him his love for chocolate.
(I don't know if animagi and patronus' can be different but for this they can be but are usually the same.) (Also, also I just have to make dead poets society references. And I love the stories where Neil and Wilson are the same person.)
His animagus form is a brown peregrine falcon, his nickname being Perry or Peregrine. His patronus is a brown bear. (Because generally, he's cute and sweet, but can hurt you if provoked.)
Isn't someone who got made at anyone, would get annoyed and irritated at times but never mad. (Was the middle ground for the fifth year incident that I personally refuse to acknowledge.)
The "James" for Harry's middle name was for both Wilson and Potter, though no one was told otherwise.
He was made Neville's godfather, but Neville's grandmother refused to acknowledge that Wilson was a part of the family.
Dislikes Dumbledore, blames him for all the too young lives lost in the first wizarding war.
Told Remus about the change in secret keeper, and that he should also probably go into hiding for the time being.
(Not even 2 days after the Potter incident, the entire suburb that Remus and Sirius had been living in was all burnt down by Death Eaters.)
Was there when Sirius tracked down Pettigrew. He arrived late and turned everyone around, away from the scene before he approached. So no one actually saw him, only Sirius. Something that Wilson deeply regrets.
Tried to fight for Harry and Sirius, with Remus, but no one was going to believe or trust a werewolf and a wizard who was planning on leaving the wizarding world after the war. Especially since there was no proof that Pettigrew was alive.
Moved to America shortly after the funeral. He swore he would never come back.
Remus and Sirius asked him to come back, and he does, because he'd just had his first proper fight with House and seeing old friends could do him good.
He shows up in order of the phoenix as the new professor for defence against the dark arts. (Umbridge is just there, you know)
Umbridge is the first person that Wilson finds himself genuinely hating.
He gets sacked along with Trelawney, but Dumbledore does the whole they don't have to leave the grounds thing. Umbridge becomes the DADA professor from there.
When Bellatrix escapes Azkaban, Wilson builds up the courage to tell Neville about being his godfather, who promptly breaks down.
Wilson helps Harry teach Dumbledore's Army. And does cool, stylish escape by turning into his animagus form, just before Dumbledore does the thing with the phoenix.
In half blood prince, he returns as a guidance counsellor (lord knows Hogwarts needs one). He is genuinely happy for Snape for getting the position he always wanted.
After the battle of Hogwarts, Harry found Wilson standing in front of Remus' body, just staring with tears running down his face. Harry gave him a hug and all Wilson said was,
"I'm the only one left now."

Ok, but imagine the dead poets at Hogwarts, and even tho they are all in different houses, they still have their study sessions in Meeks' room because out of the 7 of them they are all doing one or more subjects the same as someone else.
Meeks aced runes and let's Charlie cheat off of him because he thought it would be an easy A, but turns out he had to actually put effort that he didn't want to use into it.
Cameron is always helping an incredibly confused Neil, Knox, and Charlie with divination.
Pitts and Meeks are always fiddling with muggle tech that only Neil and Todd know what the other two are working on, and no, they aren't going to blow anything up. At least they don't think so.
Todd always has to give Neil his notes from care of magical creatures because Neil is always figuring out a way to try and hug the creatures, that or figuring out how to give Todd a hug. It's not his fault they all look cuddly.
Charlie isn't half bad at potions, but only because he sneeks in to watch the teacher make the potion. Otherwise, he would be rubbish, Knox is incredibly grateful for having Charlie as his partner.
Pitts and Perry try their best in herbology, but again, Neil wants to hug everything, and Pitts is very worried watching him get emotionally attached to a plant, so they usually have to ask Stick for the course work after class. Pitts is pretty sure Neil has managed to smuggle in and domesticate a baby womping willow, who he's pretty sure Neil named Puck.
Charlie always says that Knox was a cheater when it came to how good he was at charms, Knox always replied with something cheesy about his looks or something even more cheesy about his name. Cameron was quick to wack him over the head.
It was always a competition between Cameron and Neil for who was better at transfiguration, Neil accidentally transfigured him into a textbook once and spent three days figuring out how to turn him back. He was too embarrassed to get a teachers help.
Probably the most surprising was how incredible Todd is at defence against the dark arts.
He was also the only one who could stay awake and pay attention during history of magic. So it was the only time Meeks and Cameron would allow themselves to sleep during class, knowing Todd had their back.
And the guys who aren't in Meeks' house always get caught by prefects on their way back to their dorm, so much so that a prefect has started knocking on the door when there's 10 minutes till curfew.
Pitts is also really good at getting lost, but he is also really good at getting to his classes on time. He just goes with the flow.
Hiccup has been having trouble with his prosthetic so Astrid finds a way to help a little
Barty is extremely loud in bed with Evan, he is definitely a screamer, and not even on purpose. He just feels so safe and comfortable with Evan that he can't stop himself from expressing how incredibly good he feels with Evan showing him so much attention.
Damn getting called basic from a quiz be like 😐
which ao3 tag are you?
You know that thing with like Barty wanting to kill his father, and Evan is like we can also kill my parents, and Regulus is like we can practice on mine.
What if they went through with it and after they realised how satisfying it was they started up an extermination company together.
"We kill your trauma and hide the body for free"
It costs extra if you need more than one body hidden.
Part 1/?
That feeling when your ceiling has collapsed and your dad is eating steak that has rubble in it and you ask if he's done anything to cause this and then he tells you some batshit insane stuff about cows and the roof and the door not being big and OH MY FUCKING GOD DID HE BUILD A CRANE???? and btw your uncle is there too chilling (bleeding out) (he was not meant to operate heavy machinery) (at least we now know why)
