Okay, this may be one of the funniest things I’ve read in a while. It’s just wonderfully fluffy, and snarky and so much fun to read. Your Lily was amazing. So was your very astute, observant Peter. And your holiday traditions. And the entire concept behind this.
And this:
Sirius squirmed.

‘What’s wrong with him?’

‘That’s his “I must not sound like my mother” face,’ explained Remus. ‘Just wait till he finds out Muggles use frankincense in bubble bath.’
I can so very clearly picture Sirius having that face. I about died laughing. Out loud. At work. It was very embarrassing.

And Sirius!!!
‘I also want to snog you and stuff,’ said Sirius. ‘And make you sandwiches , and warm my hands under your jumper when it’s cold, and when you’re sad I want to kiss you until you’re not sad anymore, and then I want to curl up on your lap while you scratch behind my ear. Also, I want to rescue you from a dragon, or you can rescue me, or we could take it in turns… I’m not too fussed about the dragons actually. I just want you, and the happily ever after and, and… everything.’
That is simply too sweet! One of my top rated love confessions in quite some time.

And this bit:
‘You do realise,’ said Peter, glancing at Remus in a faintly exasperated manner, ‘That by succumbing to Padfoot’s dubious charms you’ve basically bought yourself a season ticket to join him, Lily, and Prongs at Theatre Overshare?’
I mean, honestly, I could quote the whole thing back. It was all simply priceless. Just a wonderful read.

Aw, thank you so much! You are super-lovely.

I think Sirius made that face a lot, especially when his friends were winding him up which, bless him, wasn't hard. He's just so easy (and fun!) to manipulate.

There wasn't even going to be a confession of love at first but, ack, I'm a sap and can't resist.

So happy you like it. Thank you for such a wonderful comment. ♥
