Evans,
To what do I owe this honour?
Never mind. FREE BOOZE! See you there!

Wearing a shirt Homsar had bought for him (Sirius still hadn't worked out what the occasion was, as Homsar had only said something about being a new dog learning old bricks), Sirius made his way down to The Three Broomsticks about fifteen minutes early. After chatting up with Madam Rosmerta for about ten minutes, he worked his way over to Lily's table. (It was easy to spot her; her hair was hard to miss!)
Sirius swung himself into the chair next to Lily. "So, since you're buying," he said by way of greeting, "I'd like a very very very large - what the bloody hell is that?" Lily appeared to have the head of a miniature aardvark - or something like that - sticking out of one of the pockets of her robes.
Sirius' t-shirt caused Lily's eyebrows to go up in amused shock. Putting aside one of the books she'd come into town to purchase, she leaned back and regarded him. "Nice threads, Black," she grinned. "Didn't know you were such a philosopher."
Glancing down, Lily smiled. "Oh! This is Steve." Gently, she took Steve out of her pocket and set him on the table. "Steve, this is Sirius."
Steve cocked his head. "Nice to meet you. Sure you're not going to eat me?"
"I got him from a dinosaur as a sorting bribe," Lily said, practically beaming. "He's a leptictidium. I thought you might like him. He's...rather cheeky, so I'm sure you'll get on swimmingly." Steve tentatively snuffed at Sirius, then hopped over to the man and nudged Sirius' hand with his head.
"What're you having, love?" Lily asked, standing up to head over to the bar. She reached over and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "And it's nice to see you, too." Teasing, she nudged his shoulder gently with her hip. "Speak now, or I'm getting you gillywater..."
Sirius glanced down at his shirt and then back at the thing in Lily's pocket. "This? Oh, I didn't buy it," he mumbled, trying to work out just what that thing was and if Lily knew it was in her pocket. "Homsar gave it to me."
Then he regarded the thing - Steve - as Lily set it - him - down on the table - and nearly jumped when Steve started talking. Even Fuckbeak wasn't articulate! (For that matter, neither was Homsar!)
"Erm...right. Nice to meet you, too. And - no, I reckon I'm not interested in eating you." Still confused, he looked back up at Lily. "Although a bloke could do with some food, you know? How about a Firewhisky and some bangers?" He looked back down at Steve. "You sure you're not going to eat me?" It was always best to establish these things as quickly as possible

"You're too big to eat," Steve said, quite sensibly. "And I only eat plants, anyway. The dinosaurs call me a 'snack' for a reason."
Lily shrugged. "I don't think a leptictidium is something we would have learned about. From what I've read, they've been extinct for quite some time now." Distracted from her bar-run, Lily turned back to her bag and pulled out a book. She handed it to Sirius with a grin. "Little light reading." The book was massive and even Steve looked amused - if, indeed leptictidium could look so
