[See Sirius inside Marauding Magic. See Sirius actually fully dressed and not sweating.

Ahh, magic~]

Anyone who's not enjoying the heat, come to Marauding Magic, as far as I know New Moore's only genuine magic shop with genuinely magical air conditioning. You don't even have to buy anything. But you may find you want to and far be it from me to keep you from it. I even offer a thing or two that might help you keep cool!

Like the non-melting ice cream I have developed together with Once-ler from... that pizza place! It melts only once you lick it.

[Obviously, Sirius can't actually speak in rainbow colours. He can, however, use his wand to have rainbow coloured sparks everywhere while he advertises his ice cream!]

Once-ler, this is the cue for your jingle. Come up with one.


Lily, James, I know you're reacquainting yourself, but it's cool here, whenever you feel like it. And Prongs, there's someone I'd like you to meet.

[And for that he even figures out how to set the next part to be

private to Aisling]

Aisling, do you remember when we talked about wand cores and your hair? A friend of mine, my best friend, he's here now and he doesn't have a wand. I'd like to introduce you two and if you're willing, you could maybe spare some of your hair. Only if you want.

But he's brilliant. Trust me.

Exceptions being?

[alwaysimpure]

Er, Sheska! Of course. Alisha.

Other cute girls and women?

And children.

[thneed]

Don't you think everyone's a cute girl or woman? Or a kid. You thought Itsuki was a baby. Pretty sure you think I count as a kid. I'm not making more if you're handing it out like that.

[alwaysimpure]

It's not my fault that there are so many cute girls on this island. And Itsuki looks like he's sixteen! That's not my fault!

No, you're a big and string man. Strong man, I meant.

I'll only give Sheska and Alisha free ice cream. Promise.

[thneed]

Hey!

Just them.

[alwaysimpure]

Only for the women in our lives.

[thneed]

What?

[alwaysimpure]

What what?

[thneed]

What do you mean?

[alwaysimpure]

They are women and they're in our lives. I wasn't implying anything you may assume I was implying. That would be awfully presumptuous.

[thneed]

Yeah. Presumptuous.

[alwaysimpure]

And you know I'd never be that presumptuous! Though on the subject of presuming, I do have things to talk about with you.

[thneed]

You always have things to talk about with me. What've you got for me now?

[alwaysimpure]

Want to talk in person or should I just lock this, hopefully successfully?

[thneed]

Either way! Just don't pop up behind me.

[alwaysimpure]

In front of you?

[thneed]

Pop up outside the door and then come in.

[alwaysimpure]

[Aaaaaaaaand there's a knock, then the door opens.]

Hey.

[thneed]

[ enthusiastic gloved-hand waving ]

Hi! See, see. I prefer this way.

[alwaysimpure]

[He walks in, grinning and shaking his head.] Great. I hate making you jump.

[Lies.]

Koizumi told Sheska he doesn't want to date her. I don't quite understand why, he's odd. But I thought you ought to know.

[thneed]

Liar.

[ He drops his hands to his sides and gives Sirius a surprised expression that turns more and more confused the longer he thinks about what he said ]

That's more than odd. I thought he did.

[alwaysimpure]

I thought so, too, but apparently something changed his mind. Sheska mentioned something about him wanting to be there for Officer Beifong? I don't know, it's all rather confusing.

She was quite upset about it all, at first the thing with Rudy, then Koizumi and then they both sort of reject her again. Y'know how her ego is.

[thneed]

I guess if he's....into authoritative women... But uh. Hm.

That's awful. She knows they're just dumb boys though, right? She's like the best person ever.

[alwaysimpure]

Well. There's some appeal, I reckon? I don't even want to know mate, to be honest.

And it's Sheska. Of course she doesn't know. She thinks no one would ever want to be with her. No one showed any interest, then suddenly they did, only for it to end in tears. For her.

[thneed]

Yeah.

That's not true! It's not like they're the only people ever to show interest. She's just.... oblivious to it unless they straight up ask her out. Or do and she cluelessly suggests you share your talents with the masses instead of just sharing them with her and then you're like well okay that's definitely not where I was going with that but who doesn't like money.
