.: Phone :.

I give up. Does anyone have a good or any recipe for treacle tart? I miss it something fierce, but it's not in any of the cook books I found in this town.

Or any help in actually cooking, for that matter.


.: Action at 1485 Kramden Rd :.

Nothing is on fire in the kitchen this time, but the place is a mess, with every bowl and container out on the counter. Lily's taken advantage of her drone mum being at a ladies club to claim the kitchen to herself, and it's not going well.

Magic's been of minimal help so far, and her attempt to bake cookies haven't gone too badly, evident by the appealing smell wafting through the window and outside. It's really everything else.


.: Action outside 1449 Mitchell Rd :.

With a fistful of smooth pebbles in hand, Lily is doing the time honored tradition of flinging one at a time at James's and Sirius's bedroom window. It's also fairly late at night, so she's trying to be quiet about it with varying levels of success.

Do you need them?

[A playful brow raise at that.]

[bespell]

My kissing list hardly extends beyond-- well, anything too long, really. [There's been a couple of boys, and it's always been a nervous affair.] I bet you two kissed loads of girls.

[sothis_rising]

Scads really, though I think James's been always holding out for you when it comes to his really good ones.

Though I will warn you that I'm in a bit of a dry spell at the moment.

[bespell]

You haven't been kissing Remus, then? [Lily shoots the question quickly, hoping to catch him off guard.]

[sothis_rising]

[Which she does. He almost swallows down the wrong pipe for a second before giving her a hard and confused look. What was this girl thinking and how much did she suspect about his private lack of life.]

No. We don't even actually talk much. What gave you the idea I was snogging him?

[bespell]

Your head in his lap at my house. [Lily's lucky it's dark outside, and it's night, as her cheeks pink slightly. What if she's wrong?] And I'd find it more plausible for you to snog than not to talk.

[sothis_rising]

[Sirius is glad for the darkness himself as there's a surprising soft blush on his own cheeks. Even he didn't think he had the capability of blushing.]

He doesn't really need me here. Remus has always been a bit of a complete package. Just never notices it himself.

[He pulled out his cigarette case and a lighter, lighting up before continuing.]

Now, about you and James. How exactly did this kiss occur?

[Of course he'd heard it all from James, but the other boy was prone to flights of fantasy when it came to Lily. Besides, it was a good topic to sway her from the current one.]

[bespell]

[She raises an eyebrow, but sees the truth in Sirius's words. When he lights his cigarette, she extends her hand for one of her own.] Without a warning, complete Potter style, and out of nowhere. We were at the malt shop...

[sothis_rising]

[He offered her the case so she could pick her own.]

Well, they do say the malt shop is code for sex these days.

[bespell]

[It's a good thing she's not lighted her cigarette yet.] Uh what? [very intelligently.]

[sothis_rising]

Oh? You didn't know that?

[bespell]

[She shakes her head frantically.]

[sothis_rising]

And you didn't shag Prongs?

[He tisked her gently.]

[bespell]

[She glares at him over her cigarette.] I wouldn't tell you.

[sothis_rising]

Prongs would.

[The boy was dead serious in that.]

We don't keep any secrets from one another.

[bespell]

Then ask him. I'm sure she has a better imagination.

[sothis_rising]

Don't tell me you're sore about it. Are ya?

[He didn't understand how people got sore about stuff like that. James and he were best mates. Of course they'd share stories.]

[bespell]

I'm just being realistic. It's only to be expected, right?

[sothis_rising]

Exactly. It's only to be expected that one day you're going to shag James.

[bespell]

[This time Lily does choke, scowling at Black's smug face.] Don't you even dare fantasize about it!

[sothis_rising]

Why would I fantasize about it? There are so many more interesting things to fantasize about.

[bespell]

I-- Well, good! [Lily stomps out her cigarette, shoving her hands into her pockets.]

[sothis_rising]

Are you fantasizing about it?

[bespell]

You're not going to leave me along until I give you an honest answer, are you?

[sothis_rising]

No~ope.

[He clapped his hand over her shoulder.]

You're a mate now. That means you tell all.
