Sirius's Surprise Birthday Party

~A lick of bright green flames flare out the fireplace of 14 Weymouth Mews as a spinning James Potter exits the Floo Network in Sirius and Remus's sitting room.  James is here to meet Sirius for their time trial down to Brighton on Kat, the flying motorbike.

What Sirius doesn't know is that Remus and Lolly will be setting up a surprise birthday party in his absence. Friends have been invited.  Food is being prepared.

Remus has assured James that he'll have no trouble performing any necessary charmwork to decorate the place in whatever ludicrous amount of time it will take the two of them to fly to Brighton and back. And as for the telltale cooking smells? Sirius simply thinks Remus is preparing a romantic birthday dinner for his return.  He's been banned from the kitchen so as not to spoil the remainder of the surprise.   But then, he's usually banned from the kitchen anyway.~


Sirius?

*Sirius comes through the Floo a little after James does, having just gotten away from his family; he's about to call for Remus when he sees James and grins widely*

Prongs!

*heard the Floo activate, sees Sirius step out*

Padfoot!

Any problem skiving off for the night?

Nah, I think they were happy to see me go actually. I wasn't much for company today.

*there is a light in his eyes that tells James he has rather been up to some mischief today*

So, ready to make our run? I should probably check in with Remus first, though.

No, don't. You're not allowed in the kitchen per Lolly and Remus's orders. Besides, we need to get a move on. Just say hello from here.

*calls toward the kitchen*

Remus? James and I are taking off, love. Need to get a move on.

*ducks a head out from around the corner looking every bit the cliche of the weary chef; there is a streak of flour on his forehead from where he had pushed his fringe out of the way earlier and his manly!apron is wrinkled and streaked with some sort of yellow... sauce*

Hey?

*sees Remus and his mischievous grin softens; he missed Remus terribly all day today, and would like nothing better than at least one kiss before he goes, even if it means having to listen to James make foul retching noises in the background, and then drag him bodily away*

Hey.

[info]r_jlupin

December 22 2009, 01:00:30 UTC 2 years ago

*takes a step and the rest of him appears from around the corner*

To Brighton and back, yeah?

[info]more_than_pure

December 22 2009, 01:04:35 UTC 2 years ago

*the grin returns as he takes in the flour on Remus' forehead, and the apron (not that manly after all)*

Yeah.

*doesn't want to be a girl and ask for a kiss, and doesn't feel quite right taking one in front of James without alcohol in him*

I'll be here, cooking like a madman.

James, could I have a word with Remus? I'll meet you at the bike in one minute.

December 22 2009, 01:18:51 UTC 2 years ago

*with a smirk* Oh, get hitched already, will you two?

*mutters* Only because it's your bloody birthday. *exits still wearing the smirk*

*James' comment instantly reminds Sirius about that very awkward conversation between Remus' father and himself, and the fact that they hadn't broached the subject at all, nor had they mentioned Remus' husband comment, which, in light of his talk with Bernard is all too appropriate; all of it is just so awkward and hard to bring up, and the only thing that makes any of this easier is sex, and that has taken an unfortunate leave of absence*

*he's only got a minute and is sure that James will pound the door if he takes any longer, but then something happens and James isn't quite so important*

*the universe seems to narrow just a bit, and it is just he and Remus, a world of unspoken words laying in the gap between them, and at this moment, Sirius isn't sure what the next right move is, only that he wants to move toward Remus, and isn't sure how*

*Knocks on the door lightly then looks down at his daughter who is all bundled up just as he is and grins.*

Think Sirius will like what you picked out for him?

[info]dora_tonks73

December 24 2009, 05:26:14 UTC 2 years ago

*grins* I hope so.

*knocks again, this time much louder* I hope we're not to late.

*opens the door; there is much more flour on his face this time and his shirtsleeves are splotched with frosting*

Dora?

Oh, Ted - come in, both of you - I'm frosting the cake; you're the first to arrive

[info]ted_the_tonks

December 24 2009, 06:06:34 UTC 2 years ago

*grins up at Remus* Really? That would be a first.

*gives Dora a little push on the back to get into the house and out of the cold.* We brought some-er...

*holds out the plastic container* What was it again Dora?

[info]dora_tonks73

*hugs Remus in greeting, though he does have flour all over him, before answering Dad*

Treacle tarts.

*bends down to hug her back, brushing a discreet, decidedly-uncle-like kiss to the top of her head*

Wonderful. He'll positively love them.

*straightens back up*


Come in, come in - make yourselves comfortable in the sitting room; I've got to finish that blasted frosting and I'll be right in.

*perks up since he mentioned the best part of the cake* Frosting? *she starts to take off her jacket*

[info]r_jlupin

December 24 2009, 22:10:11 UTC 2 years ago

Extra for you.

[info]ted_the_tonks

December 25 2009, 00:21:52 UTC 2 years ago

*helps Dora take off her jacket before starting on his own*

Not to much sugar pumpkin. Remember you still have to go to sleep tonight.

What time were you planning on taking her home, Mr Tonks?

[info]ted_the_tonks

December 25 2009, 05:55:34 UTC 2 years ago

Well, Andy said something about nine but I reckon around ten should be good enough. For the holidays at least, she should be able to stay up past the norm.
