Severus placed the casserole dish on the table and cut off a piece of it's contents, meatloaf, and put it onto Sirius' plate. Sirius looked quizzically at the food presented to him.

"Have you ever wondered about meatlof?" Sirius said as he stabbed his portion of the aforementioned food. He held it up at eye level and examined it. "You can see all sorts of things in it, green things, yellowy things, lots of brown things. What exactly IS meatloaf?" Sirius then proceeded to eat the 'specimen'.

Severus looked at him with a quirked eyebrow before he sneered. "I should know what's in th emeatloaf. I made it. And if you paid due attention to its name, you would know clearly what it is: MEATLOAF!"

"Yeah, you know what's in the meatloaf! But I don't! And how do you know what's in other people's meatloafs? Whatabout the ones in the store that have been, like, factory made or something? Most of that stuff has to mainly be chemicals! Wha tthe hell is the green and yellow stuff anyways?" Sirius objected, eating another bit.

"It's corn and other vegetables, Sirius. It isn't that big deal." Severus then started to chew thoughtfully on his own his own piece of meatloaf. Sirius looked disgusted.

"Veggies? You put veggies in this stuff too? Then why do I have to eat all this other stuff?" He gestured at the other vegetables piled on his plate, by Severus ofcourse.

"Because the amount that was put into the meatloaf does not add up to the recomended daily intake of your vegetables. Now shut up and eat it!" Severus scewered a few carrotts while Sirius pushed them around on his plate before going for the mashed potatoes.

"But they're disgusting! And you never answered me about other peoples meatloaf!"

"Sirius, I imagine that most other peoples are the same-"

"But what if it's like chilli? Everyone's chilli is different, even if they borrow someone elses recipe they change it! It's comprised completley of leftovers and whatnot! And you make me eat the nasty veggies then too! What is it with you and making me eat mad veggies when you barely eat ANYTHING!? Dude, you are skinnier than a damn bean pole! I'M making dinner tomorrow night! We're having-"

"Rat's and scraps? You know I'm the only one in this house ho knows how to cook anything other than muggle mac & cheese!"

"Ok, for starters, I'd cook t-bone steaks and baked potatoes! You can cook the nasty veggies-"

"Oh, so you're cooking all by yourself, and you hate veggies, but you want me to make them?"

"And secondly, you make wierd things! Like MEATLOAF! It's not even the consistancy of any meat I know of!"

"The only meat you know of best is small animals, now stop complaining! It's just mashed up ground beef, seasoning and some vegetables blended together and baked!" Severus was starting to lose his patience with the ex-convict.Sirius was quiet for a moment.

"but how do you know what quality the beef is? And exactly what vegetables?"

"It's an assortment of vegetables! And the eff quality is written on the label!"

"But what about other epoles and the stores pre-made meatloaf? what about that quality? What about thosevegetables?"

"Sirius?"

"Yes, Severus?"

"Shut the hell up and eat your food! How am I supposed to know what's in other peoples meatloaf?"

"But you always say you know everything! And I don't want my vegeta-mmf!" Severus had walked about the side of the table and shoved a very large spoonful of veggies and mashed potatoes into his mouth. For the first time all day, Sirius was silentl. Chewing obediently on his vegetables.
