james is charismatic. compelling and whitty and spewing charm like light. he stands at the forefront of an army and inspires devotion, not on a level of fear, but on a level of relatability, a level of sameness. but no-one else can ever be the same as him, attractive and charming and royal. a king. he knows people, instills wonder in their hearts. he evokes envy. if you’re close to him, you count yourself lucky. he’s magnetic, and it’s no wonder, really, that people flock to him in waves. he’s captivating because people think they know him, and they like what they believe.

sirius is enigmatic. completely in-understandable and mysterious. he’s full of snark and smoothed over by beguiling enchantments. his is a different kind of awe. no-one knows him, but they desperately want to. he presents the world with an image that they lap up, that leaves them hungry. he’s a paradox, a mystery. people think they know him, but they don’t. he gifts them enticing smiles behind coloured glass and makes sure you know how lucky you are when he does. he dances with the darkness, but to some, the dark is just as attractive as the light.
