Summary
‘The fucking hamster’s loose again.’
Sirius looks up to see James’ standing in his bedroom doorway, sleeves cuffed to his elbows and holding a large, purple, silicone spatula in one hand and a sieve in the other like he’s about to audition for the The Great British Bake-Off. ‘Help?’

‘In the gap between the washing machine and the tumble dryer. Possibly plotting my demise.’ James holds up the spatula as way of an explanation.
Sirius blinks at him. ‘And the sieve is for moral support or…?’
‘Look, I panicked. I was in the kitchen when he ran past and I grabbed the first things that looked weapon-adjacent.’ James says. ‘You coming?’
Sirius is looking for clarity.
