OIABM - August Sneak Peek
Since I will be out of town tomorrow I am posting the August sneek peek a little early, and post-dating it for tomorrow.
As chosen by blue_phoenix here is the August sneek peek.
I am also including the two choices for the September sneek peek, so if you have a preference as to what you want to see, you have a month to let me know. I'll go with the most popular, but if no one comments I'll just pick one of my own next month.
This sneak peek is unchecked by my beta so any errors are my own. The setting is the wedding of Bellatrix Black. Enjoy.

Sirius soon found Regulus hiding out in the kitchens. He was chatting with the house elves who were undergoing the last minute preparations for the wedding banquet.
“Escaped?” Regulus asked with a grin.
“Just barely,” Sirius replied. “I’ve been sent to find you and make sure you don’t get into mischief.”
“Too late,” Regulus smirked and he pointed to the five tier wedding cake.
Sirius frowned slightly as he tried to figure out what his brother had done. Then he spotted the figures on the top tier. The bride and groom were magical miniatures of the happy couple and were charmed to smile, wave and dance a waltz across the top of the cake. The most expensive models were charmed to contain a small amount of the personality of the witches and wizards they were modelled after. Naturally, the Black family had to have the best.
“What did you do?” Sirius asked as he watched mini-Bellatrix and mini-Rodolphus duke it out on the icing. Mini-Bellatrix had uprooted one of the pink flowers that circled the edge of the cake and was brandishing it like a weapon. Mini-Rodolphus meanwhile was desperately trying to climb down to the relatively safety of the tier below.
“Bellatrix called me a stupid squib again,” Regulus muttered. “She said I shouldn’t have been invited as a guest, and should work in the kitchens with the elves. So, I sort of told the cake ones about how I caught her making out with Lucius Malfoy at their engagement party last summer.”
“You didn’t?” Sirius choked out around his laughter.
“They started laying into each other right away,” Regulus explained. “Serves her right for being so mean.”
“Maybe we should get out of here before they realise what you did?” Sirius suggested, although the sight of mini-Rodolphus, now on a lower level of the cake, hiding to avoid being hit by the confectionery that Bellatrix was hurling down at him, was quite entertaining.
Sirius and Regulus returned to the main party, looking forward to seeing the arrival of the cake, if nothing else.
