The Sixteenth Step ~ {Video/Text}

{Lily is curled up on her couch, a blanket tucked around her lap. On top of said blanket is a book. She flips a page and munches quietly on a carrot stick. After a moment, she picks up her PCD and switches to text.}

{Private to Harry, Hermione, Ron, Severus, Remus, Sirius, Tonks & Hagrid.}

Things have been eventful as of late and I know it's

You do realize that all of them would rather dine with the giant squid than with me, correct?

I admit it will take work, but it's worth the effort in the long run. After all, what if something happens to you?

I am more than capable of taking care of myself, and should I prove to be a threat to the city, I'm sure that everyone would be more than willing to... offer their enthusiastic help.

That's not what I meant. {At all. What the hell.} I meant - what if something bad happens to you and you're injured and/or incapacitated? Wouldn't it be nice to have some people you can count on?

[siriuslymagical]

You had me at "dinner", Evans.

[His tone is playful and he does sound excited for this. Especially after what was going on last week, he could go for a night together with his friends. Though if Snape will be there...yeah that will be awkward.]

You sure you don't need help in the kitchen? I can assure you that I look good in an apron.

[thewinterdoe]

I had hoped that would lure you.

{She'll need some kind of barrier to separate them. But she's determined to bring everyone closer together.}

Mm that is awful tempting.

[siriuslymagical]

You know me well.

It is, isn't it? Shame Prongs isn't here to get jealous over me being all alone in the kitchen with you.

[thewinterdoe]

I do.

He knows us better than that, Mr. Grim. {Can you feel the affection?} Though you are younger than me now. I wonder if I have any cougar instincts? {Said seriously. Marvel.}

It sounds lovely. However, I likely won't be able to attend. I have a lot going on right now, and I wouldn't make the best company; it would be a shame to ruin your party.

[thewinterdoe]

Hermione.

What's wrong?

[Text] / [Private]

[bookish_lioness]

Nothing. It's as I said; I've a lot going on right now.

[Text] / [Private]

[thewinterdoe]

I didn't buy that the first time. Besides, I didn't even tell you when I was having said party.

[He has an important matter to comment on!]

Why would anyone want to invite Snape to a dinner party?

[private / text ]

[thewinterdoe]

I would.

{Yeah, well. Take that.}

[alwaysreturned]

Do realize the grease from the git's hair will just get in the food, right?

[private / text ]

[thewinterdoe]

Oh you're hilarious. Really.

It's a shame James isn't here. You would get along wonderfully.

[weredaddy]

That sounds lovely, Lily. I'd be happy to come.

Although, Snape would be a problematic part, as I'm sure the others will tell you, if they haven't already.

[Video/Private]

[thewinterdoe]

It wouldn't be complete without you.

Oh I know. I don't think he's going to turn up anyway. {She does look disappointed.}

[Video/Private]

[weredaddy]

Now you're just flattering me.

With this group? I'm not surprised in the slightest.

[Video/Private]

[thewinterdoe]

Hardly.

Neither am I, but I guess I was being optimistic.
