Pot Kettle Black

by TheDivineComedian

In 1978, Sirius Black almost becomes an Auror. Turns out even he can’t fake his way through the mental health assessment.So what. He has better things to do: Remus Lupin is one. The war is another. He spends weeks at a time undercover for the Order while Polyjuiced to the gills. It’s probably his new favourite thing.Little does Sirius know that running from himself will send him on a collision course with his ephemeral brother, but life is funny that way.

Mistletoe Mayhem

by JA_Authoress

December 26, 1978 It's the annual Potter Christmas Party! Unfortunately, some of the mistletoe is a little aggressive this year. Sirius is the victim of one such aggressive mistletoe. No one is safe. No one. Especially not werewolves. Those were extra not safe. “First licking, now kissing?” Sirius leaned up against the wall next to Remus, who stealthily put his glass up to his lips. “If this holiday gets any more R rated, I am not going to believe you about any muggle traditions ever again.”

Warmth and Wizardry

by JA_Authoress

It's December 14, the night of the full moon is hours away. Sirius knows just how to help make Remus's day. “Er, no, I’m not hungry. Tea will be fine. When did Lily let you borrow her cookbook?” “This morning. I Flooed over around 9—I didn’t jump on their bed this time, learnt my lesson there!—and she gave it to me quite willingly. I wanted her hot chocolate recipe, you know, the one you’re in love with.” “Is that around the same time you ‘borrowed’ her quilt?” “Perhaps. You can’t prove anything.”

Shopping Support

by JA_Authoress

With Remus recovering from the full moon, Sirius turns to Lily (the only other person who can navigate the muggle shopping malls) in order to pick out the best Christmas presents ever. “Black, I thought you said you would be the perfect shopper.” “Well, I can’t very well get him just the book he wanted, now can I?” “… You’re not buying… that… are you?” “Well I was, but if you’re going to just stand there and be all judgemental, then I guess I won’t!” “He doesn’t need a knife set that can cut through anything!”

Skating and Searches

by JA_Authoress

Sirius invites himself (and Remus and Peter) along on James and Lily's ice skating date. “Bloody hell. Why would any sane parent think, ‘I know, let’s give my child a set of sharp blades and sent them out to play on the ice’?” “I’m not quite sure why, Padfoot.” “I’ve never done this before, what if I fall and squish a child?” “You won’t fall, Pads, I’ll catch you.” “Cheers, mate.”

Present Pinball

by JA_Authoress

December 11 and 12, 1978 Sirius decides he needs to start shopping for presents. Today. Right now.

Did I agree to go somewhere?” “Well, not exactly, but we’ve got to go Christmas shopping at some point, and today is just as good as any other day, right?”

Rhymes for Remus

by JA_Authoress

December 25, 1978 6:30 a.m. Sirius decides an early start is best for everyone. He also decides that Remus needs to work for his presents. “Padfoot? Is it safe to come out?” Remus stepped out of the fireplace slowly. There was a note on the ground in front of him. ‘A whistle, a whirl, a boil: this will reward your toil’ “What the—” Remus glanced around once more for Sirius, but the Animagus was strangely absent, or at least suspiciously quiet. “A whistle… boil… the kettle?”

Candy Cane Conundrum

by JA_Authoress

“Lily.” “Not a word.” “Why—” “Remus, I’m warning you.” “This is entirely your fault.” “I know.” Lily rubbed her temples with one hand, her other hand clenching onto a cup of tea like it was her life line. “You give Black a millimetre, or something as simple as a candy cane, and suddenly he’s all ‘Muggles make the greatest things in life, why did my mother hate them so much? I must try all of the muggle related things right now!’ Honestly Remus, how on earth do you find the energy to keep up with him?” Lily gave Sirius a candy cane. Sirius needs to find the absolute best flavour to bring to the Potter's Christmas Party. Naturally, he gets everyone to help him decide, and what's a taste test without a little contest?

Romping and Wrapping

by JA_Authoress

Sirius begins the long process of wrapping presents. It starts off with: “But Sarah said the sheets are actually several metres long, which means they’ll wrap more presents, which means I have to really like it, or I’m gonna get sick of it half way and things will go unwrapped!” “… Pads, you do know we can buy more than one pattern.” “We can do that? Oh, well, that makes things much easier then.” And quickly escalates to: "Pads, no! Don't wrap me! Wrap the present! Wrap the present!!"

Twelve x Trouble

by JA_Authoress

December 20, 1978 Remus makes one innocent comment. Sirius takes it upon himself to learn the lyrics of 12 Days of Christmas. “What are they saying? Something about rings? Oh, now there’s birds. Oh wait! Turtles? How are turtles Christmasy?” “It’s five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree." “Wait, what? Once more please.” “Well, I have from five down memorized, but the six to twelve is a little dodgy.” “There are twelve? … Twelve what exactly?” “Twelve days of Christmas.” “Oh. Why’re there only twelve?”

Friends and Flames

by JA_Authoress

Sirius decides he needs to know how to light a fire the muggle way. "Now it’s quite simple, just arrange the paper like so, and—” There was a puff of flames and blue sparkling smoke. “Er, Moony, is your hair smouldering?” “…Padfoot, was that the Daily Prophet?” “It was the only newspaper in the flat!” “SIRIUS!”
