[Like the sheer force of his belief will be enough to make it true. But if there's anyone that will be able to flout the rules--it's s been them, it will be them, as a group, a whole. Constant defiance, too stubborn to just accept the way that things are, especially where each other are concerned--why should time be any different?
But as ready as he is to defend his point, to keep at it until it becomes true--it isn't a battle that needs to be fought against Remus. Of course I'll go; that's good enough. That's support for a cause that means a great deal--not just Voldemort, but everything tied up in it. Because it's not that Sirius doesn't care about the whole of the wizarding world, and the muggle-borns, and backwards pureblood superiority. He does. But he cares about James, in specific, with a single-minded focus that outstrips everything else.
And Remus cares, too. And so long as there's two of them--they'll sort it. They have to, he thinks, again, and some of the tension in his jaw unknits, just a little.]
It will.
[For James, it will. And Remus' agreement is enough--Sirius nods, once, short--right--and grabs hold of Remus' shoulder, in a firm and bracing grip. It's one step further than a handshake.]

All right, then.
