WHO: Most of the HP cast and ANYONE WHO IS FRIENDS WITH HARRY
WHERE: Potterbase (née Moonybase)
WHEN: TODAY, 7/31/11
WARNINGS: Parents being shmoopy
SUMMARY: IT'S HARRY POTTER'S BIRTHDAY Y'ALL!
FORMAT: Any!

The afternoon was sunny with a pleasant breeze. A tent had gone up in the yard, and each of the main rooms of the house were decorated along the theme of a garden paradise. Enchanted leis and large straw hats were there for the taking, and various wizarding games had been laid out: exploding snap, a chessboard whose pieces currently looked rather board, Pin The Nose On Voldemort (with a variety of comedic noses to choose from). there was a table, already piled high with gifts but with plenty of room for more.

Food had been made and set out, and meltless charms had been cast on all of the icecream. There were wo big bowls of punch. One of them is charmed to be spike-free, the other...well. It may eventually dissolve the bowl and the table beneath it.

All that is missing is YOU!

It wasn't Sirius' fault that his life was full of tragedies, both his own and other peoples'. Andromeda found that lately she had the same sort of problem, and she'd had the misfortune of spilling it all over everyone else here when she'd first arrived.

She just nods along with his words, though, taking it in and not wanting to interrupt. If Sirius wants to share this with her she's going to be as respectful as she can; he's still her cousin and she wants to know what's going on in his life, whether he's a difficult git most of the time or not.

"I can see how that would be hard for him. Hard for the rest of you too, though." Particularly Remus, but they weren't talking about him right now.

"At least now you've got Lily and James to keep you company. Harry too, I imagine?"

He shakes his head. "Harry's still at the MAC. We'd love to have him, of course, but truth be told I think he'd feel a bit weird, living here. His parents are only a few years older than him, and he's a grown man. Sometimes I think we could..."

It wasn't very long ago at all for Sirius, that he was standing in the Forbidden Forest with Harry, looking up at the moon, talking about having a home with him. That was when he thought they would turn Pettigrew in. When he thought he would be exonerated, free at last to rejoin the world and take his place in it.

That had not happened, and now, thanks to Snape, he knew it never would. Here, in the City, it could, but that would involve leaving James's side.

"So," Sirius says, clearing his throat as if the thinness in his voice could be attributed to a slight cough. "Are you and Dora going to find a place of your own? You'd be welcome here if you just want to get out of the MAC for a little while."

Oh, Sirius. Andromeda is a nurse - she knows very well that his voice is thin for reasons other than medical. She shifts a tad closer to him while he speaks, feeling as if the closeness might be something Sirius needs at the moment. There's nodding.

"I suppose I could see that being a bit strange, living with James and Lily when he was just a baby to them not long ago." She can only imagine the smothering he'd endure -- actually, she can imagine it perfectly, because she supposes it's the same sort of smothering that Nymphadora will eventually be enduring from her.

"Yes, Dora's actually already looking for a place. I don't know where it's going to be, but I trust she'll find something appropriate."
