[It's Sirius Black, on video, apparently in a good mood. That can't be good.]

I'm interrupting everyone's busy schedule of catching mice and grooming for a very important announcement: It's Harry's birthday tomorrow! Happy Birthday, Harry!

[A wizard with a wand and some fre time on his hands can do a lot of real life sparkles.]

So, I'm not sure how comfortable you are with making this all public, but let's be honest, birthdays are always partly an excuse to publicly embarrass the birthday boy. At least I'm not singing. Yet. I will in a few hours, when it's your actual birthday, I'm just starting early, because you never know what this island will be up to next.

I did however already get you a present and I think I finally managed to work out most of the kinks.

[With that he moves the device to show the gift he made for him.]

I've been working on it for a while now and chances are this one won't break free and evade capture for months on end. Probably. Anyway, I'd like to celebrate. If you don't mind. There's a lot of catching up to do and I have some things to show you.

Everyone else, you should celebrate tomorrow too! It's a great day.

[Private to Sheska and Once-ler]

I need birthday food for a teenage boy and I thought, hey, I know two people very likely to be willing and able to help me out. Against payment of course, Once-ler. Maybe you two could work on it together? [nudge nudge wink wink]

[ooc: Sorry for spamming the comm, but it's HARRY POTTER'S BIRTHDAY, damn it. Also, the image isn't quite right, but you try finding a flying broom that's not a replica of a Harry Potter movie prop.]

...I'm really bad at doing that mid-conversation. I got better at doing it when I first put something up though.

Merlin, we should just use owls already.

That seems unsanitary.

Owls are very clean birds!

[That's a very flustered owl in the background there.]

[ leans to the side as if he could look past Sirius at the owl ]

Well. Maybe some of them.

Virgo is very clean. A tad touchy though, sorry.

[Ever seen a owl huff? This one does, and turns its back on the camera.]

Anyway, that would save us the trouble of locking.

Sorry, Virgo.

[ waves awkwardly ]

But why would we need owls when you can teleport?

For one thing, there's limits to apparation. For another, I don't want to discuss everything in person and also, writing letters can be fun.

Plus owls can actually track down people even when you don't know their location yourself.

You just want an excuse to make an owl carry something.

Hey, at least I don't go around insulting owls willy-nilly.

I already apologized for that.

It's alright, owls don't have a very good memory.

Anyway, I guess the moral of the story is that I should just apparate to you?

That'd be less complicated.

Be there momentarily.

[Ta-da!]

There we go.

[ YOU KNEW HE WAS COMING ONCE-LER.
but no you still fell out of your chair.

trying to play it cool though. ] Hiii.

[Not impressed, Once-ler, not impressed.]

What would be a sufficient warning to give you before I do this?

A full ten minutes, I don't know.

Just- Ignore that. [ picks himself up and sits back down. ] What are we talking about?

Right. We'll manage this some day.

[Sirius settles for leaning against the desk instead.]

I was wondering if you'd mind someone else dating Sheska.

[ Opens mouth. Closes it. Processing... ]

What?
I thought we were getting me to date her.

We are. I'm just trying to understand you, mate. I want to know how much you care?

It seemed to me as if you were jealous before, so I wonder.

You think I don't care?

Jealous? Well, I mean- If she wants to date people not-me, I'm not going to get mad about that. That's her business.

Doesn't make you angry?

I'm just curious. I've seen you have quite the temper whenever the island got messy on you.

No, not angry. Maybe a little sad.

But she's not messing with me. There's no reason to get mad.

Good. You're a better man than I am.

So. You should get her flowers or something. You somehow have to make sure she knows that you definitely mean it, because she'll never let herself believe otherwise.

I'm not allowed to pick flowers, Sirius.

Is that the only problem? You have me, don't you?

Look here.

[Wand drawn, spell said and there you go, beautiful bouquet of a hundred percent flowers that have nothing to do with Aisling's forest.]

Aisling still keeping an eye on you?
