I'm back! Wow it's been a long time! Sorry about that. I got really busy and had writer's block. This chapter is shorter than what I wanted, but at least it's something. I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks to the new subscribers!
"This is our stop." said Lily getting herself ready to get off. She pressed the black line next to her.
"Stop requested." said a cool female voice. "Please watch your step."
The doors opened and the three teenagers stepped off the bus.
Sirius was about to open the door for Lily when it slid open. "Whoa! Muggles have magic too! It's like I'm a prince and they opened when they saw me! I love the market already." He excitedly went through the doors and ran towards the aisles of food.
His nose went up into the air and he sniffed as if a dog. Then made a sharp turn to the left and continued with his nose in the air. James and Lily hurriedly ran behind him. As if guided by magic Sirius found the butcher.
"Hello there my good man. May I have all your meat that you have in stock!" Sirius asked eagerly.
"No! We just need one pound of ground chuck!" Lily quickly answer and glared at Sirius.
After receiving their meat, they went around the market for the rest of the ingredients. Sirius had found a shopping cart and was riding in it as James pushed him around and Lily dumped the items on him.
"You know James, this living without parents thing is fun."
"It would be more fun if you lost some weight! Goodness, you're heavy!"
"That's not funny James. You know how sensitive I am about my weight." said Sirius slumping down into the cart.
"I'm sorry Sirius. I'll buy you candy to make it up to you. How does that sound?"
"Any candy I want?" asked Sirius with his eyes sparkling.
"Any at all."
"Oh my god! You guys are ridiculous! Never again am I going to the market with you two." said Lily.
The three teens paid for their groceries and walked back to the bus stop. The trip back to the house seemed shorter for Sirius as he found a group of nice looking girls to talk to.
"Oh Remy! We're home!" shouted James when he walked into his house.
"Great." said Remus sarcastically.
Sirius came bouncing through the door towards Remus. He grabbed his face and planted a huge kiss on Remus' cheek. Remus leaned against a wall and tried not to throw up.
"Guys, can we please start making them?" asked Lily annoyed.
"Yes Queen Lily." said Sirius.
"Thank you."
………..
"Is it ok if the patties start to catch on fire?" asked Sirius. He was put in charge of the grill after much begging.
"No!" shouted Lily. She ran towards the grill and grabbed the spatula out of Sirius' hand. Lily expected to find patties burning away, but to her surprise they were all fine.
"They're coming out beautifully aren't they Lily?"
"Yes, yes they are. Sirius I think you have found your calling."
"Sirius Black the Grill Master. Yes I do like the sound of that! By now on I shall only answer by that name. Anything else shall be ignored."
"Now you've done it Lily." said Remus cutting the fresh lettuce.
The teenagers finished preparing their cheeseburgers and all sat around the small wooden table in the kitchen. The cheeseburgers were on a plate in the center of the table, next to it a pitcher of freshly squeezed lemonade. Sirius watched the looks of his friends as they ate the burgers he cook. Pride swelled inside of him. Part of him did not want to eat his precious burgers, but his hungry side soon took over and he found himself devouring most of them.
"Lily is it alright if I get on your glowing box and get more recipes?"
"Sirius that would be wonderful! I'm glad you've taken a liking to cooking."
"Me too," said James "You know Remus I saw this lovely apron at the market I think Sirius will love. It had pretty pink flowers embroidered all over it."
"Laugh all you want James, you'll be begging me to give you some of my food when you smell how delicious it is. Just wait, JUST WAIT!"
"You know James it wouldn't hurt for you to support your best friend. Just because cooking isn't exactly manly doesn't mean a man can't do it. Just when I thought you were alright you prove my first impression of you right once again." said Lily. She got up and walked out the door.
"What the bloody hell?"
"You know Lily did have a point about Sirius, James." said Remus.
"See Remus supports me. Why don't you love me James?!" Sirius dramatically pushed open his chair and ran up the stairs obviously pretending to cry.
"You pansy."
