As soon as James was sorted, he grinned a big grin and walked over to the table with great pride, dropping down directly across from Sirius. No one else would sit by him, they all seemed to be keeping distance but James already had a bloody big row with him on the train over his smelly friend so whatever. Like he had a reason to hide.

Looking a Sirius, he smirked playfully.

"Hard luck, mate. You got stuck with me and this lot. Welcome to the jock side." As Severus had put it earlier, Gryffindor was all brawn and full of jocks so hey. Why not rub it on? "God, I hope your friend isn't going to be in here too."
