Comments

Sirius Black

[effingsirius]

[Offering, for once, a formal apology]

Remus Lupin

[wolfymcwolf]

[Remus has shown up in his normal clothes.

Come ask him what his costume is. I dare you.]

[effingsirius]

[Remus what.

Remus why are you being no fun.

Remus how could you do this to his heart he trusted you.]

What're you supposed t'be, then?

[wolfymcwolf]

[Ah yes the first to fall for his cunning trick.]

I'm a werewolf. [He says it so casually. Like he hasn't been waiting for just this opportunity all night.]

[effingsirius]

[Oh.

Oh.

Oh, how wonderfully clever.]

...You little shit.

[He loves you, Moony.]

[lightmagic]

[ There is a gap here. In this gap, one Lily Potter appears as well, as though sidling up there with them. She is, in fact, also wearing her normal clothing, and she's smiling sly. ]

Who're we calling little shits, now?

[ Guess what she is. G U E S S . ]

[wolfymcwolf]

[Remus grins, all too pleased with himself. When Lily slides up to them, he looks positively devious.

They may have planned this.]

I think he's just mad he didn't think of it himself.

[effingsirius]

[They certainly look sneaky enough to have planned this.]

Now, Moony, I've never claimed to be the brains of this operation. [Although Sirius is certainly very hurt that neither one of them thought to plan this with him.

Breaking his heart, for real.

And also a lifted brow Lily's direction.]

Now, I know you don't have his excuse.

[So what are you supposed to be, Lils?]

[lightmagic]

[ Just think, because they planned this it means he can have the surprise of their wonderful costumes. She clicks her tongue a bit at Sirius' complaining, shaking her head. ]

Honestly, don't you like our costumes? We put a lot of thought into these.

[ Then she grins, wide and bright. ]

I'm a witch.

[wolfymcwolf]

[That and they couldn't really stretch the joke a third time. And you can't get Sirius involved in anything without James getting involved (and vice versa) and there had to be some people at the party with costumes for the joke to work at all.]

It was a lot of hard work getting these together. We put so much effort into it.

[They hi-five like the nerds they are.]

[effingsirius]

[Forget all other incidents in his past. This moment? This is clearly The Worst Thing to happen to Sirius Orion Black the Third.

Hence the dramatic groan as he rests a hand against his chest. Look at how you've broken his heart, Lily and Remus. Look at this.]

You two incredible nerds.

[...Yes. Somehow that is meant to be an insult.]

Lily Potter

[lightmagic]

[ Lily is, also, in fact, wearing her regular clothing. Fancy that. ]

[lightmagic]

[ Lily does not laugh, studiously, because these are very serious costumes for this very serious joke that she and Remus have pulled. Mostly they've just got to be very smug that they managed to pull one over on both of them. ]

You expected us not to be? You're just angry it was a surprise, aren't you?

[wolfymcwolf]

[Remus also does not laugh. Very serious costumes that they put lots of time and effort and work into. Seriously.]

Honestly, I don't know what else you expected from us.

[effingsirius]

[You know who is also serious? Sirius. Sirius is seriously hurt that their very serious costumes do not include him. Siriusly.]

Actual costumes, perhaps.

Look at this puppy wounded face.]

[lightmagic]

I'm a bit offended, these are actual costumes!

[ Lily makes an offended face. A very Serious one. A very Sirius one also. ]

Besides, do you know how much work it was keeping it from James? I deserve a medal.

[wolfymcwolf]

You know, muggle women dress up as witches for Halloween all the time. It's definitely a costume.

[Seriously Sirius would you deny Lily her heritage?]

You say that like you didn't enjoy that part of it.

[effingsirius]

I also feel like Muggle women at least wear at hat.

[Why is there no hat, Lils.]

And if I made you a medal, would you pretend to be an off-the-clock Quidditch player at least?

[Or something. What were those Muggle games called? Olympians?]

James Potter

[forevertwentyone]

[Is a fun human being who doesn't hate Sirius Black, and therefore is wearing some plush antlers and a shirt because he is very clever and hilarious and no one regrets being his friend or marrying him ever.]

[effingsirius]

[Sirius is having regrets. Most of them, however, are aimed toward a certain werewolf and a certain redhead being absolutely no fun.

And no. He doesn't see the double standard in judging their costumes but giggling at James'. At least James was wearing antlers.]

Oh, deer.

[forevertwentyone]

[Of course there's giggling. This is an incredibly brilliant thing he's got going on here.

There's also going to be a brief, careful adjustment of Sirius's bow tie, because of course there is.]

Good time, then?

Peter Pettigrew

[peterohpeter]

Peter is dressed up in a gold toga with a fake gold laurel leaf circlet and golden sandals. He is going as Apollo. Come forth, friends, and let him hide behind you and be self conscious. In fact, the first of the group he sees he promptly slips behind.

[effingsirius]

[Of course there is. And of course Sirius is going to stay settled in close, because this is just how they roll.]

Other than your wife and the other light of my life being positively cruel to my heart, it's been wonderful.

[peterohpeter]

Peter stepped up next to Lily and held out a hand containing a cup of punch for her and a smile on his face. Dressed up as golden Apollo. "I thought you might be thirsty, Lils. I promise, it's not spiked." He says, always looking out for his friends, and attempting to keep them out of trouble when able. Though he knows he often doesn't succeed.

[forevertwentyone]

Lily? Being cruel?

[Hang on. He has to summon a proper look of True Offense.]

To you?

[The world is terrible when one's husband and wife are fighting, though. For real.]
