“Pads, can we talk?” James asked and from his serious tone, Sirius knew something was very wrong.
“Of course, what’s it?”
“I think we’ve been betrayed. Lily and I. I think You-Know-Who knows where we are”
“What, no why?”
“Peter doesn’t show up at the meetings anymore. He only speaks to Lucius and other people we know are death eaters. And somehow, the death eaters show up at my house as well”
“James, you have to flee the country as soon as you can”
“Then you’ll have to too. I can’t just disappear, we’ll have to fake my death and yours too”
“Then we will. Whatever keeps you alive, James. I’ll do it”
“Where could we even go?”
“I don’t know, I don’t really have family to go to and well…”
“Fight with Moony?”
“Yep. He wanted to go to the werewolves again, and I said that he shouldn’t because they’re murderous beasts and he took that a bit personal”
“Sirius Orion Black you apologise to Moony now”
“Fine… fine, but it’s not like he’ll believe me”
“Sirius it’s Moony”

A few days later
“Pads, I think I found something. But it’s far away, like really far away”
“How far?”
“India. Sorry, but it’s the only place I have family. Lils’ family lives in the UK, and your family is… your family”
“India… Well, it’s a life or death thing, James. We don’t really have a choice in this. We either leave or die”
“I found a flight to India. It’s better to go the muggle way. It departs next morning. Pack your suitcases, we’ll move to India”
“There’s no way back, is there?”
“Unless someone magically defeats You-Know-Who, I don’t think there is”
“We’ll move to India forever, you mean?”
“Yeah, that’s exactly what I mean”
