It was all Sirius's idea.
Regulus sighed, staring at the camera propped on the kitchen counter. “My name is Regulus and when I was fourteen my brother ran away and left me with our abusive parents for a year. I brought the bowl. He waved the bowl for emphasis.
“I thought we worked through that.” Sirius said, pushing himself into frame and snatching the bowl. “My name is Sirius and I ran away at fifteen because my mother almost killed me then had to spend years repairing my relationship with my brother because of it. I brought Starbursts.”
He dumps the candy into the bowl and smiles at the camera like he hadn't just mentioned the most traumatic part of his life.
Remus rolls his eyes. “When I was four or five years old I was attacked by a werewolf that wanted revenge on my dad.” He glanced down at the bag in his hands. “I brought Hershey kisses.”
Marlene shoves herself into the camera’s view next, as if she's competing with Sirius for the most dramatic entrance. “My name's Marlene and I grew up in a very religious family that thought I needed to be fixed because I'm gay. I brought watermelon Sour Patch Kids. Also Miss James’s Mom, if you're watching this please make out with me.”
James gagged. “Marlene, what the hell?”
Peter smiled awkwardly at the camera. “I'm Peter and when we were in school I used to hear everyone talking about how I didn't belong with my friends.” He paused and added, “I brought gummy worms and also if any of you see this.” He flipped off the camera.
Sirius snorted somewhere off to the side.
“My name's Lily and my sister used to yell at me and tell my parents I was evil. I brought Jolly Ranchers.” She blew her hair out of her face and passed the bowl to James.
“Hi, I'm James and Marlene keeps telling me that my mom is sexy.” He started, looking physically ill at the thought. “I brought these rainbow marshmallow things.”
“I'm Barty and I killed my dad.”
Barty attempted to hand the bowl over to Evan but Lily cut in. “You didn't say what you brought.”
“I didn't bring anything,” Barty said, shrugging. “Too much effort.”
Evan rolled his eyes. “Evan. Once when I was like three I had a vision about the death of my entire family. I brought Warheads.”
Pandora smiles at the camera. “My name's Dora and I had the same vision as Evan at the same time. I brought lollipops.”
Sirius makes one more face at the camera before shutting it off. “I told you it would be fun.”
Barty stared at him. “I just admitted to murder on video.”
“But it was fun, right?” Sirius insisted.
Regulus shook his head. “Not really.”
“I think it was fun,” Evan said.
“Really?”
“Fuck no.”
Sirius gasped dramatically. “Wow, Rosier. Just wow.”
Marlene chose that moment to pipe in. “I'm gonna be James's step mom.”
“Ew,” James said. “Just ew.”
“Your mom is very attractive, Jamie.”
“So’s his dad,” Regulus muttered.
“What the fuck is wrong with you people? Stop thirsting for my parents.”
“No.”
“I'm gonna throw up.”
