thoughtformed | ❀ Four ❀ [ACCIDENTAL VIDEO]

You made up my name! [And it's silly. She really does sound like some sort of animal with a name like that!] I'm married, but I'm not dead! You know James is the only man for me.

It fits you beautifully, you have to admit. And he better be, I don't need to go back to his whining.

It makes me sound like a fox! Or a rabbit. [And a cartoon.] He has no reason to whine. I'm happily married.

I was going more for flora than fauna, but sure. And I'm ever so glad you married him. Imagine had you married someone else, I'd have never heard the end of it.

Have you ever watched children's movies? Cartoons and the like?

[She shakes her head.]

He would've married someone else and I would've been filled with regrets. You might have had two people whining at you.

Sure, Lily, that's what my parents had running for us every Saturday morning.

I'm the worst person to whine at. You can ask James. He might remember the phrase: Shut up and be a stag.

I know they wouldn't do that. But you've been away from them for some time and those movies - especially if they're by Disney - are pretty amazing.

[She stifles a giggle.] What does that even mean? Shut up and be a stag. It sounds like he needs to strike a pose.

Well, first I lived with the Potters and then I lived in a flat where my furniture consisted of a mattress, so I've not caught many movies, no. Supposedly I have a telly thing in my room here. Sheska said as much. I haven't turned it on yet.

It came about during our animagus practice and somehow stuck. [He uses a high-pitched, not very James like voice, the longing tone aside.] 'Did you see Lily today? I think she looked at me!' [And back in his normal voice.] Shut up and be a stag.

I can show you how it works! If I can find some movies and a VCR, we'll be in business. I won't make you watch anything too girly.

[Sorry, Sirius, you just lost her. Lily has no trouble imagining all of them outside together in the moonlight - though she has never followed them on their outings. She has never considered becoming an Animagus, but she fully supports them supporting Remus. He's more than worth it.]

Are you sure he was a stag? [Catching her breath now.] Sounds like a doe to me.

You can go as girly as you want, I'm very confident in my masculinity. Besides, that makes it sound like a challenge...

[He's laughing with her, because, well, the point of the story-telling was to make her laugh after all. Marauder to the final.]

No, Lily, does are too badass for something like that. Just look at your patronus.

I wanted to make sure you enjoyed it, but if that's how you feel...

[Pretty Princesses are back on the list!]

She is beautiful, isn't she? I'm rather fond of her.

I'll dare anything.

[Let's face it, he's basically a Disney princess.]

Gorgeous. Just like you are, of course. Did you ever try casting one before you were dating James?

I'm glad you're so open-minded! [She'll bring tissues and popcorn and they can sob over Beauty and the Beast.

It's hard to tease him when he says something that nice. Her cheeks redden.]

I...don't think so? It all happened around the same time. Maybe it was always meant to be a doe? I don't think it matters. I feel like she belongs with me somehow.

It's a family trait. [The party's on.

He's a charmer that way. Plus, in this case, he probably means it.]

She does, definitely. [Hey, he ships it.] Perfect match.

One of the better ones. You won't regret it.

[Quit it, Sirius. She already adores you.]

I've thought about sending her out to see how she reacts to James when he's in his stag form.

It's not actually a family trait, as you know. It's a traitor's flaw.

[He can't help being adorable!]

She might fawn over him.

[He's also hilarious.]

It's only a flaw in their eyes.

[Like a freaking puppy.]

I think she already did that. [Sorry, Harry, you are a fawn.]

And do I ever love my family thinking I'm flawed.

[All he is, basically, a very big puppy.]

And she did an excellent job of it.

They lost their right to count when they pushed you away.

[She is dead serious about that too - no pun intended. She would absolutely give Walburga a lecture if she could.]

He'll grow up to be a stag too, I bet.

Or some time before that, I reckon. Anyway, don't worry about it, they're all gone, for the most part.

[She does have a lot in common with her husband.]

Or a lion. Your son is brilliant.

I can't argue with that. I imagine they were miserable to the very end.

[That's what happens to bitter people. They stew in their bitterness and eventually succumb to it.]

I've been proud of him since before he was born. He was always a good baby.

[And she misses him dearly. Her little dark haired son who would cling to her hair before he fell asleep.]

I'd reckon so, with both sons turning out to be failures.

[Ah, family. What a wonderful concept.]

He might turn up here. And he'd be so happy to see you.

[It's really the only thing he can say to this. She won't get to see her son grow up and he can't help but blame himself.]

Failures in their eyes only.

[What about the Potter family? Both of them?]

I hope he turns up here. We can really smother him like he deserves.

[And if Harry arrives, she will make a point of including Sirius in the parenting. It was always meant to be a group thing - like a pack. That way Harry always had someone to turn to if he was in trouble.]

[The Potters actually managed to execute the concept well!]

I should feel sorry for the lad, but I think the way I know him, he won't mind at all, long as you're there.

I won't leave him if he wants me nearby. That's one thing he can count on when he's here.

[Real mothers are like that.]
