Sirius Black to Deliveroo Harassment Squad: so im throwing a halloween party

Remus Lupin: It’s February?

Sirius Black: im calling it hifbiss: halloween in february bcuz i said so

Sirius Black: and, after much begging from jimmy p, it will be february 15th not 14th

James Potter: i literally just asked nicely??

Sirius Black: i also may only have moved it bcuz im afraid lily would actually murder me if i ruined ur first vday as a couple 

Remus Lupin: Smart move

Remus Lupin: And I’m in for HIFBISS. Sounds better than normal Halloween honestly because I won’t have to deal with other people in public celebrating the holiday.

James Potter: yeh the tube does get a bit grim that night

Peter Pettigrew: noooo it takes me lik a month 2 think of my halloween costume nd now iv only got a week and a half??

Sirius Black: and u know ill take the piss for the rest of the year if u have a shit costume

Remus Lupin: Not helpful.

Marlene McKinnon: yes and?

Mary MacDonald: should we do a group costume?

Lily Evans: sorry but i already made james back out of whatever couples costume he and sirius had planned to do one with me!!!

Dorcas Meadowes: you could do one with cattermole?

Mary Macdonald: i could but reg doesn’t really get pop culture references. might make him dress up as one anyway if he can come

Lily Evans to Former Gilderoy Lockhart Lover: how did you know you were in love with reg?

Lily Evans: asking for a friend

Mary Macdonald to Fellow Former Gilderoy Lockhart Lover: omg!!!!

Lily Evans: asking for a friend!!!!

Mary Macdonald: idk i just had this moment where i looked at him and my brain kinda screamed it at me?

Mary Macdonald: like he was coming over and i looked out the window and saw him cross the street and i just thought “wow look at that incredible person!!! he’s amazing!!!! i’ve never felt this strongly about anyone before!!!”

Mary Macdonald: of course i didn’t tell him right away and i was kinda awkward after i realized it because i was internally freaking out but yeah

Lily Evans: hmmm

Lily Evans: say that this friend of mine has been having those kinds of thoughts for, oh i don’t know, let’s say several months now at this point 

Lily Evans: is she in love?

Mary Macdonald: i mean, not knowing who this friend you speak of could possibly be, i of course can’t make a definitive judgment…

Mary Macdonald: (but yeah you’re def in love with him and i am living for it!!!!)

James Potter to Jon Snow: i think i love lily???

Sirius Black to Robb Stark: no shit

Sirius Black: ur not just now realizing this r u??

James Potter: no i think its that ive known it basically since we started dating

James Potter: (shes the perfect woman how could i not love her)

James Potter: but like ive been afraid to say it? or to think it?

James Potter: especially because i would always joke around and say it to her when we were still just friends so ive been worried she wont think i mean it still 

Sirius Black: i mean love is obviously mad dumb and ur a weak beta male for catching feels

Sirius Black: but like if u and lily arent in love then no1 is and love doesnt exist

Sirius Black: speaking scientifically ofc

Remus Lupin to All the Single Ladiez: The only good thing abt this stupid holiday is all of the chocolate that goes on sale the day after

Marlene McKinnon: preach omg 

Dorcas Meadowes: idk easter also has that and doesnt make me feel so alone

Remus Lupin: Valentine’s Day has better candy. It’s just a fact.

Marlene McKinnon: easter is too heavy on jelly beans

Remus Lupin: It’s true and you should say it. 

Dorcas Meadowes: so are we going out for drinks on the dreaded vday as per usual?

Marlene McKinnon: yeah i pushed that date back. didn’t want him getting any expectations because of the day of the month it happened to fall on

Remus Lupin: Let’s do it.

Sirius Black to Lads Incorporated™: remus…. r u in a single ladies group chat w marlene nd dorcas?? 

Remus Lupin: Yes and I feel no shame about it so don't even try to make fun of me.

Sirius Black: no its not that at all 

Sirius Black: i obvi want in

Remus Lupin: Hard pass

Remus Lupin: You’re not sensitive enough for our conversations.

James Potter: bold of you to assume marlene is that much more sensitive than sirius

Sirius Black: ^what he said!! 

Peter Pettigrew: can i b allowed back in the chat

Remus Lupin: Are you going to drunkenly talk about your pooping habits again?

Peter Pettigrew: i cant promise i wont 

Remus Lupin: While I admire that honesty, answer remains no.

Lily Evans to Mammas Mia: what do i wear for my valentines date?? 

Lily Evans: im not used to having to dress up for a date

Dorcas Meadowes: we talkin actual outfit or lingerie

Lily Evans: oh shit i should get some pretty lingerie shouldn’t i

Lily Evans: both i guess!!!

Mary Macdonald: just go to primark! they have cheap lingerie sets for like 10 quid and they’re actually not uncomfy. plus i’m sure you’ll be able to find a dress

Mary Macdonald: besides you know james doesn’t really care what you wear. he’s too smitten

Sirius Black to Ygritte;)

Lily Evans to Side Chick: stop logging into james’s icloud

Lily Evans: or at least give me the password so we can both wreak havoc

Sirius Black: deal

Sirius Black to Bad at Fortnite: so i may have fucked up 

Remus Lupin to Do Not Answer At Work: What did you do?

Sirius Black: so u know how i log into james’s icloud occasionally 

Remus Lupin: Of course

Sirius Black: so i was talkin 2 lily and she asked for the password so she could mess w james 2 

Sirius Black: and ofc i gave it 2 her. shes devious. seemed like it would be a laugh

Remus Lupin: Sounds like major violations of James’s privacy but what’s new

Remus Lupin: So what’s the fuck up?

Sirius Black: well the last convo i had with james was him saying he thinks hes in love with her

Sirius Black: and theres a chance she maybe probably saw those texts

Remus Lupin: Ah. I see.

Sirius Black: so like…. what do i do lol 

Remus Lupin: First, stop logging into James’s icloud and messing with him. I thought that had stopped after the incident with Interpol

Sirius Black: never gonna happen. keep going

Remus Lupin: Next, just tell James what happened. Better he hears it from you now than later if it blows up

Sirius Black: or

Sirius Black: i tell no one anything and play dumb

Remus Lupin: Sirius, no

Sirius Black: great talk thanks for the advice remmy!!

Marlene McKinnon: does sirius just give his password to everyone??

Dorcas Meadowes: pretty much 

Mary Macdonald: yeah i’ve had it for a while

Lily Evans: and i was gonna send sirius some racy texts because i always make fun of him for secretly being in love with sirius

Dorcas Meadowes: don’t know that it’s that much of a secret

Lily Evans: but the most recent convo they had was james saying he thinks he might be in love with me??

Lily Evans: okay. yes. you’re right. this is good. this is exciting!!

Lily Evans: omg i’m in love!!

Lily Evans: and i’m not gonna tell james i saw that convo because i don’t want to make things weird
