Chapter Title: A Cup or Two?
Uh hey guys…
I'm not dead? Oops…
Anyway to make up for that this is most certainly finish off the 12 days of Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all of you (Except those who don't celebrate it. I wish you a very merry normal 12 days!)
And well, shout out to my bestie Lilly Flower Forever who is moving from my area soon and she shall be missed. We need the sleep over if we haven't done so yet.
So Merry Christmas Lils! For you, my lady! ;)
Let's go with the first chapter which is a Starbucks au! Wolf Star (I didn't choose the pairings; I chose them randomly out of a jar which I well… chose.)
I do not own the Harry Potter franchise; I do not own some of the things that come up in other chapters. This is my official disclaimer and I will not repeat throughout the story. Any complaints will be taken up with me! AND NO LEMON! Maybe a hint of Lime-MAYBE but only if peeps ask.
[Line breaks, very imaginative, I know.]
Remus had just moved to America from Australia because there were more job opportunities here for him, such as martial arts at an quite famous school, another up side was meeting his pen pal/childhood friend again after so long.
Moving to America was his biggest mistake.
Remus was freezing his butt off while making his way to the Starbucks near his place and very closely swung the door off the handle and that would have been bad. He loosened the red and yellow scarf around his neck, one that came from his old school but he forgot the name of the house. Gryffindor or something like that.
James always told him he was grouchy without his daily dose of chocolate or caffeine and Remus usually ignored the remarks. But today, he has to admit that stupid idiot had a point as he staggered to the counter, way warmer then he was when he walked in.
He looked at the line in front of him which had five groups of anxious/normal/whiny people. The one ordering was an elderly lady who was having trouble reading what was on the board but a male taller than Remus (who considered himself tall!) was helping her out but Remus was too far to hear him. He saw Lily, James wife acting as the waitress which means that Harry would be around somewhere. After all; the Potter's owned this particular
The second group behind the lady was an mother trying to keep her five (five?!) children in sight which didn't really help since the eldest seems to be giving out random facts about the stuff on the board, her twin children keep pranking the other customers and attempting the man in front itching powder which their mother keeps stopping them. The youngest boy kept whining for food whereas the daughter seemed perfectly content to hold her mother's hand and suck a lollipop. Remus thought that they were a strange bunch. They also had letters on their hand knitted jumpers which must be the first letter of their names.
The third was an Elderly man with a long beard; his eyes keep twinkling as he strokes his beard. Remus thought he had seen this Gandalf before…
The fourth was a friend of Remus- Severus Snape; Chemistry teacher at the same school Remus taught martial arts in. He pretends to hate him all the time but that's ok. Remus knew Severus really thought him as a friend, he just showed it in a special way. Aaand he's rolling his eyes because his best friend's sister is whining and carrying on this boy named Tom… Strange.
And the person in front of him suddenly walked off. Why? He didn't know.
"Can the person at the end of the line please come to the second registrar?" another male his age and height, slightly taller with shaggy black hair and bright greyish blue eyes, waved his hand to try to get Remus' attention.
"Hello, my name is Sirius and what would you like? Would you be interested in this new hot chocolate special, specially made for the 1st day of Christmas?" Sirius asked Remus kindly, not noticing that he just made his way through Remus' heart simply by offering newly made hot chocolate. "-On the house this time. After all, you are officially the first customer tester. If you accept?" Remus wanted to marry this man especially since he said 'Hot Chocolate' and 'on the house' in the one sentence.
"YES!" he blurted out, making half the customers turn to see the commotion was. "Sorry," he looked down, beetroot red cheeks. "I just like Hot Chocolate." He murmured, not noticing his best friend James walk behind Sirius, emerging from his shadow.
"You got him Siri simply by saying Hot Chocolate man. Siriusly," He snorted and finger gunned Sirius who returned it with an 'eeey' and Remus slapping his hand against his face in embarrassment. "That guy lives for hot chocolate."
"Not just hot chocolate!" Remus piped in to no avail which James continued on.
"That's right, Chocolate- you name the type he will love it! Except 'Turkish Delight's. Who likes that carp?!(A/N: Sorry for offending Turkish delight fans, I asked my dad what type of choc he disliked and he said Turkish delight so… Sorry!) He also loves books and movies and-"James would have continued for eons of it wasn't for Remus leaning over the counter and stopping James from talking.
"Shut up, you seem very willing to tell someone all about me even though we have never met." Remus told him sternly which Sirius started laughing uproariously while pouring hot chocolate in a typical Starbucks cup and tightened the cup.
"What's the name?" Sirius asked him and Remus replied. Sirius scribbled Remus' name on his cup with something else on it.
"Well, I hope to see you around sometime, Remus." Sirius winked as James waved, while snickering with his hand over his mouth. Remus didn't notice the warning and took a long sip with the hot chocolate and moaned. The Hot chocolate was like if you poured warm liquid milk chocolate- Lindt, to be specific, put whipped cream on top, flakes sprinkled on top and served it. He didn't notice Sirius slightly blushing as he left.
When he stepped out he noticed it wasn't the blistering cold that froze every part of your body. It was the cool breeze that gently carried the snowflakes, making them dance around his head and make everything look beautiful.
He sighed and looked to the partially drunk cup and saw his name in lovely calligraphic writing-
With 'served by the most Sirius person in your life, text me- 1234456289798.
Remus narrowed his glare and whipped out his phone to text Sirius.
'R- That was the corniest sentence ever.'
He got a reply fairly quickly.
'S- Well, I am Sirius! ;)'
Remus still didn't know why he texted what he did after wards to this day but he didn't regret it, thinking back to all the moments with him;
'R- And I'm glad, only you can pass off being Sirius.'
[Lineeeeee Breakkkkkkkk]
Well there you go! First day completed and ready.
So like? Dislike?
Tell me! I love comments and I don't mind if they are bad or good. Even though good comments are nice to hear.
How is your Christmas going? Please tell me and I may add in an excerpt of your holiday in one of the upcoming chapters. Thank you for reading!
Fun fact; since I live in Aussie I have never been to a 'Starbucks' or had a winter Christmas (Or seen real snow!)
