Here’s an OotP fan! Where would we be without “Sit down?” The phrase that launched a thousand fics.
I read through OotP before I was involved in fandom and this is the one where I started to see Remus and Sirius as partners. Hooray for queer domesticity. For me, well the joint gifts are there of course, but I think it was the scene where Harry goes to Sirius for comfort about James being an arse and Remus and Sirus — all homey and domestic — reminisce and reassure Harry. That scene felt so loving, both between them and to Harry. In some ways, the fact that Harry is perplexed by how they can be so forgiving of James’ behavior made it even better for me because of the connection and happiness it showed between them. I have no idea if that makes any sense.
