creepy old man: hm, okay.
creepy old man: well i sometimes get called moony, so this is what we have to work with.
sirius: MOONY ⁉⁉
sirius: if you tell me the backstory of moony i'll tell you the one of padfoot.
creepy old man: it's not much of a story really, but…
creepy old man: ...deal.
sirius: YESS
creepy old man: 😕
creepy old man: when i was younger i would stargaze a ton and thought i wanted to become an astronaut.
creepy old man: when i turned 12, my mother gave me a little camera and a telescope for my birthday which i would always use to take pictures of the moon.
creepy old man: my friend lily would always make me show her and at some point started to call me moony as a joke, but it's lasted throughout the years.
sirius: wait that's so cute ???
sirius: suddenly i don't wanna share my story 😓
creepy old man: a deal's a deal!!!
sirius: okay
sirius: here we go
sirius: one night i had my friend prongs over for a sleepover since my parents were out that weekend for a business thing. we were about the same age as you, 11 or 12
sirius: anyway, we were messing around in my parents bathroom and found some squishy white things, which at the time we didn't know what they were
sirius: this led me to sticking them on the bottom of my feet and walking around like that for the rest of the night 😇
creepy old man: i-
creepy old man: that was not what i had been expecting.
sirius: what were you expecting????
creepy old man: i thought you'd just say that you were light on your feet or something along those lines lol.
sirius: oh
sirius: god i should have lied and said that lmao
creepy old man: i have a group name, but i don't know if you'll like it.
sirius: 👀👀
('creepy old man' changed the chat name to 'padfoot and moony tackle the world')
creepy old man: it may be a bit wordy is all.
sirius: no, no, moony it's perfect
creepy old man: :)
