WHO: Lily Potter and Sirius Black (purmoncul)
WHERE: The Moonybase kitchen
WHEN: In the morning, a few days after her arrival
WARNINGS: Um…there might be some angst? And Sirius is….Sirius. So this is a general Sirius warning.
SUMMARY: Sirius has been avoiding Lily, because he knows what’s coming. And Lily is tired of waiting for the shoe to drop. So she corners him in the kitchen and there is no escape. Conversation happens.
FORMAT: Whatever happens happens!



Lily wasn’t entirely sure, but she had a feeling that Sirius Black was avoiding her. And, more often than not, when she had a feeling about something involving Sirius Black, she was right. Even if she wasn’t, and he wasn’t actively avoiding her as much as he possibly could when living in the same basement as her, she felt like she hadn’t had nearly enough time with him since she’d arrived in the city, and that needed to change. And he didn’t have a choice.

She had a plan, though, just in case he actually was avoiding her. Like all good plans, it involved food. Lily cooking a very delicious smelling breakfast, to be precise. And once Sirius came into the kitchen to investigate the delicious smelling breakfast, there would be no escape. He would be stuck. And the two of them would finally get a chance to sit down and talk.

Lily wishes there was something she could do to just make it all better, but there isn't, and she knows it. And she knows that she can't say it's all okay, because it isn't and she's going to die when she gets home. And that might just possibly make things worse.

"Thank you."

Reaching up to give her a last pat, Sirius steps back and clears his throat before turning to the sink.

"Well. Now you know. Remus is from a little...further on down the timeline so as always he's really the one with the answers. And now that I'm free and he and I...well. Together we'll find Peter and I'll make sure Harry has a place to stay where he'll be loved."

...As long as he's over here he might as well start the washing-up. Sirius is no good whatsoever with housework, after first growing up with servants and then just using magic to do everything, and then prison... but it doesn't take a genius to rub soap on a plate.

"But none of that is here and now. Here in the City we now have a chance to have the life that the war stole from us. You and James and Harry...and me. Remus. All here, alive, friends. Here we can have everything."

He looks up at her, and smiles. "And if that isn't the most wonderful miracle, I don't know what is."

"All the more reason not to avoid me, or act weird around me, then." She's glad to see him smile, and smiles back at him as she joins him at the sink to help with to help him with the wash. "Focusing on what we have here, and now, rather than what's waiting for us back home, seems like the thing to do."

She says the last part for herself, as much as she says it for him. she's been trying to put out of her mind what she knows is waiting for her whenever she leaves this place and goes home. It's a reminder for herself to push that back, and focus on what she has now.
