Chapter 30: Werewolves and Alcohol Don't Mix…

Remus led Kate around the dance floor, casting a boyish grin at his mate

as she giggled at his playful moves. After having one of the most

enjoyable nights of his life, he was literally beaming. Not only had he

had the opportunity to make love to the woman of his dreams, but he had

been warmly welcomed into a community. Not to forget, it had all

officially qualified as working for the Order because he had

successfully signed up over forty people.

Just as he spun her away from him, Kate collided with a waitress

carrying pitchers of butter beer. Both the waitress and Remus managed

to dodge the shower of caramel colored liquid.

Unfortunately, Kate was drenched in it. The dance floor fell silent,

waiting for her to react. She let out a mirthful laugh and helped the

waitress retrieve one of the pitchers. "I guess I needed another

bath," she said gently. The waitress cast the werewolf a weak smile

and scurried off to the bar.

Remus tried to hide his smile. "Sorry about that; are you all right?"

"Just a bit sticky, I think I could use a shower and a change of

clothes," she said, trying to make light of the situation.

"Right then, let's get you cleaned up. Shall we?" he replied.

Paige twirled the dregs of her Jack and Coke so the dark liquid

illuminated into an amber color in the candle light of the restaurant.

"So what is the funniest prank you ever pulled on Remus?"

Sirius looked up at the young witch. "We never pranked Moony much. He

would sometimes get in the way; spoiling the fun and winding up on the

wrong end of something but James and I had an unspoken agreement

against being too rough on him after we found out about 'his

condition...'"

Paige arched her eyebrow. "What was the funniest thing then?"

"The last week of seventh year after we had finished our NEWTs, we got

him thoroughly pissed. He ran through Hogsmeade completely starkers,

singing 'God save the Queen' followed by a rousing round of 'Waltz Me

Around by My Willy.'" Sirius then fell over in a fit of laughter. "He

is completely mental when he is drunk. That same night he walked up to

Dumbledore's office and asked if he could use Fawkes to toast some

marshmallows."

Paige smirked at the animagus as a truly wicked idea came to mind.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Remus and Kate arrived at the Peppermill a little after one. Kate had

changed into clean clothes, but had convinced Remus to stay dressed in

his zoot suit. Sitting in a round booth, the pair waited for Paige and

Sirius to bring back some drinks.

Sirius stifled a laugh as Paige flirted with the bartender and convinced

him to add masking powder to cover the horrid taste of alcohol in her

order of chocolate mudslides.

When they returned to the table, Remus took a long swig from his drink.

"This is excellent, Paige. Thank you."

Kate eyed the drink warily. "Thank you, but you know I don't drink

alcohol, Paige."

The animagus gave a hurt look to the werewolf. "It's a virgin, Kate.

Don't get your panties in a bunch over it."

Kate sniffed the drink and didn't smell the alcohol. "Sorry, Paige,"

she said before taking a sip. "Thank you, it's very good."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Four mudslides later:

Kate was busy trying to unbutton Remus's shirt as he was loudly singing

the praises of the great and wondrous Harry Potter. After being ring

side for the past hour, Paige was hard pressed not to fall under the

table laughing. Sirius returned to the table with two more mudslides as

Remus was finishing his recount of Harry's third year.

Remus beamed at Paige over Kate's shoulder. "And then he flew Buckbeak

to Sirius and helped him escape the fate of the Dementor's Kiss.

Kate looked up from his buttons. "Why didn't Dumbledore save them?"

Remus turned to face her, but quickly became distracted by her neck,

which seemed all too kissable at the moment.

She giggled at his ministrations. "Why didn't Dumbledore save Sirius?"

Remus looked at his friends as an epiphany hit him. "Why didn't

Dumbledore save Sirius?" he asked to no one in particular.

Paige and Sirius laughed at the pair, it looked as if the floor show was

going to be kicked up a notch. Remus took a long pull from his drink and

continued. "Dumbledore is a master, the best wizard since bloody Merlin

and he sends thirteen year olds to save Sirius. What a lazy wanker! I

mean, who the fuck sends fucking third years to face dementors and

werewolves? That is just fucked up," he said as he shook his head in

dismay. "I would still be a professor if he weren't so lazy. I mean

fuck me, do people realize the hero of the Wizarding world is such a

blighter?"

Kate pulled him into a deep kiss. Breaking away for a moment, she

admired him with hooded eyes. "I would love to fuck you, handsome,"

she sad seductively.

Remus let out a rakish laugh that even impressed Sirius. "Oh, that

really isn't up for debate," he purred before snogging her soundly.

Sirius not so subtly cleared his throat causing the pair to come up for

air when the placement of Remus's hands caught the attention of a

waitress.

"Kate get off Remus, you are going to get us thrown out," Paige

chastised as the novelty of drunken werewolves began to fade.

Kate slid off Remus's lap and back into her seat. "But Paige, we were

only having fun. Come on it's not like you've never done anything like

that I mean. Remember that one time in Santa Cruz…" Kate stopped her

self, when she saw the way Paige was glaring at her.

Paige turned to Sirius. "Alright, werewolves are lightweights."

Remus used Paige's distraction to start snogging Kate again. Sirius

pulled him away from his mate. "Remus, do I have to get the chew toy?"

he admonished.

Remus pulled away from the animagus and pushed Kate so that she was

lounging against the booth. "No, Sirius, I already have one," he said

before he started licking and nibbling Kate's ear.

Paige sighed. "I think it's time we left before we are thrown out."

Kate pushed Remus off her and unceremoniously tumbled out of the booth.

Paige helped her to her feet and the group walked to Paige's car.

While Paige was unlocking the vehicle, Remus turned to Kate. "Your

blouse is the most intreguing shade of blue," he noted in a scholarly

tone.

This motivated Kate to pull her blouse over her head so she could

experience its blueness. This act in turn helped everyone in the area

to experience her bra.

Remus moved closer to Kate. "Kathleen," he admonished.

"Yes," she replied, gazing at him through the fabric of her shirt.

"You are going to catch a cold, let me help you," he stated as he

wrapped his hands over her breasts, causing the pair of werewolves to

burst into a fit of giggles.

Paige smirked. "Careful Moony, she could put out an eye with those

things."

"Quite right, Paige. Your brilliant sense of observation is truly

astounding. I will have to take care of them," he said with a boyish

grin.

Sirius grabbed Remus and pulled him away from Kate just as the werewolf

had bowed to give her nipples closer attention. "Remus John Lupin, you

will behave yourself," he snapped, scaring himself at how much he

sounded like McGonagall.

He pushed Remus into the car. Kate skipped over to the other side and

opened the door. Crawling halfway into the car, she placed her hand in

Remus's lap. "Why Professor Lupin is that a wand in your pocket or are

you just happy to see me?" she coyly asked, earning a chuckle from her

mate.

"Oh I'd be quite happy to show you my wand, my lovely Kate. I've been

told that my flick and swish is legendary," he said as he waggled his

eyebrows.

Paige pushed Kate the rest of the way into the car. "No playing with

wands while we are driving," she snapped and shut the door. She gently

rubbed her temples as she sat in the front seat next to Sirius. "Next

time, we get them drunk at home," she sighed and put on her seat belt.

Sirius glanced into the backseat and laughed at the sight of Remus

attempting to pin Kate. "You know, I think we could get them to do just

about anything right now," he stated conversationally to Paige. His

point punctuated by Remus flingingly Kate's bra into the back window.

Paige started the car and froze. A moment later, the wicked smile from

earlier in the evening returned to her face. "You know, Sirius. I think

you're right," she said before pulling out fo the parking lot and

heading towards Spring Mountain Road.

They pulled into the Adult Superstore ten minutes later. As the car came

to a halt, Remus and Kate, who were too busy snogging to bother with

safety belts, hit the back of the front seat.

Kate looked up and pulled her blouse down. "Are we home?" she giggled.

Paige piped up, "No, we're at a special store."

Remus looked at Paige from under Kate. "Brilliant!" he exclaimed,

before remembering himself. "Why is it special again?" he asked before

trying to pull Kate's blouse up again.

Paige smiled at him. "Because it has special toys you and Kate would

like."

Remus frowned as Kate batted at his hands. "But I don't need any toys,"

he said petulantly. "That's why I have my lucious Kathleen." He then

proceeded to flip her back up on the seat. "She's a fucking

fansh..fantshis... Brilliant playmate. She can do this thing with her

tongue..." At this point, Kate was growing impatient and cut him off

with a kiss.

Paige cleared her throat. "Come on you two out of the car."

The pair of werewolves broke apart for a moment as Sirius and Paige got

out of the car. As Paige's door closed, Kate and Remus quickly forgot

about their friends and went back to snogging like teenagers.

Paige and Sirius noticed they weren't being followed, when they got to

the enterance of the store. Sirius shrugged, "Oh well, we'll bring them

in later."

Paige led the way as they walked through the metal detectors and into

the store. "What do you want to look at first?" she asked as she

glanced over the clearance table.

Sirius pointed towards the far wall. "What are those?"

Paige started to nonchantly walk towards his query. "Porno mags. Jack's

favorite is Pirate."

Sirius gaped at the display. "Paige, what kind of store did you bring me

into?" he hissed into her ear.

She smiled at him and patted his hand. "Oh, I'm sorry. You're probably

not used to doing this kind of thing."

He glanced around. "There are naked people on the walls and I'm here

with a byrd."

Piage started laughing. "I've seen more naked people in my time then I'd

care too. The people on these walls are nothing I haven't seen before."

"Alright, luv. This is just something I've never down with company

before," he said, trying to sound casual.

"Come on let's go look at my favorite section," she chirped. Paige led

him to the backroom that contained costumes, lingerie, and bondage

gear.

"Am I supposed to were that?" he asked pointing to a leather collar.

"Only if you're good," she said with a strange gleam in her eyes.

He swallowed hard. "What do I wear if I'm bad?"

"You wear that," she announced, pointing to a frilly maid's uniform.

Sirius smiled. "As interesting as that would be, luv. I would rather see

you in that."

Paige walked towards the bustiers. "I already have that one, Sirius. If

you are really good, you'll see me in it, otherwise you know the

consequences."

"Well, luv, if you gave me a try you'd find that I'm always very good,"

he said with a wink.

Paige rolled her eyes and pulled out an emerald green and silver bustier

with light green lacing. "What do you think of this, Sirius?"

He glared at the offending garment. "Bloody hell, no." He moved away and

started inspecting the rows of costumes, finally pulling out a sexy cop

uniform.

"Nope," she simply stated. "I already have that one and my handcuffs

are real."

He quirked an eyebrow at her and continued to search. He selected an

angel costume and held it up for Paige to see. "What about this one?"

Paige smiled. "Oh, the things I have done in my angel costume...", she

started but paused. "Oops!" she exclaimed, suddenly remembering she

was talking to Sirius.

"Really? Like what?" he happily inquired.

Paige blushed. "Why don't we go check on Kate and Remus?" she quickly

asked and pulled Sirius with her out the door.

They walked outside to see a struggle going on in Paige's car. Jack had

opened the rear passenger door and was attempting to pull Remus out.

Kate was doing her best to show Jack back out the door.

"Get your dirty paws off her, you, you, perverted Marauder!" Jack

screamed.

"Fuck off, Jack. You overacting, repressive sailor!" Kate shouted back,

kicking him out of the car and slamming the door.

Paige ran over and grabbed him by the shoulder. "What are you doing now,

Jack?"

Jack straightened his waistcoat. "Saving Katie's virtue, you Scarlet

woman. She would have never placed herself in this situation if you

hadn't have given her alcohol," he proclaimed before attempting to

break free.

"You're one to talk, you kinky bastard. Leave them alone, Gerry," Paige

growled.

"First off, luv, it is Jack. Second, let me in that car!" Jack bellowed

as he grabbed Paige around the waist and attempted to pick her up.

Sirius clenched his fists and looked on as Jack shoved his hand down

Paige's blouse in an attempt to retrieve her car keys.

"Get the fuck away from her, Gerry!" Sirius spat, ripping Jack off of

Paige.

Jack fell to the ground. "I've got it!" he exclaimed just as Paige

kicked her spare set of keys out of his hand. Sirius then stepped over

to the pirate.

"Listen, mate. I've got no qualms with you...alright I've got a few

qualms but I support you and Paige. That pervy bastard on the other

hand..." Jack was stopped midsentence when Sirius punched him in the

stomach.

Paige pulled Sirius off Jack. "Orion, stop it. If you keep this up, the

police will be called," she hissed. Sirius just shrugged and punched

Jack in the face, breaking his nose.

By this point in the tossle, a hastily dressed Kate and Remus emerged

from the car.

Kate ran over to Jack and Sirius. "What happened?" Kate gasped.

"This perverted git was trying to feel up Paige," Sirius growled,

glaring down at the pirate.

Remus stumbled forward. "Padfoot, haven't you already felt up Paige?

Wouldn't that make you a perverted git as well?" he asked

philosophically.

Sirius let out a frustrated sigh. "Yes, but I had permission so I'm not

a git."

Remus turned to Kate. "Did I have permission, dearest?"

Kate smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "Yes, beloved." Paige laughed

at their exchange.

Remus smiled. "Good, I'm not a git either."

"Yes, you are a git and a pervert one at that," Jack snorted and

grabbed Kate's leg. "Kathleen, come on let's get you home."

"No, Jack I don't want to go home," Kate snapped and pulled her leg

away. "I want to stay with my mate."

Jack blanched. "Katie, come on. You shouldn't go into a place like

that."

Paige pushed Kate and Remus towards the shop. "You two go ahead, we will

meet up with you in a few minutes." Remus then pulled a reluctant Kate

towards the store.

"Kate, do not go in that store," Jack bellowed.

Paige turned and cast a silencing spell on him. "You two have fun,

we'll keep him busy."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kate and Remus ungracefully walked into the shop, drawing amused looks

from the sales clerks and suspicious looks from the few customers

wandering about. Remus blinked and took a step back as it finally as

the nature of the shop finally sunk into his alcohol addled brain.

"Kate, I really think this isn't a proper place for a lady," he

stammered, attempting to cover her eyes.

She broke away from him and openly studied the wall display of inimate

massage implements. "I thought you said you were average? You're much

bigger than anything in the average section," she questioned, looking

at the various sizes on display. Remus came behind her and successfully

covered her eyes as she broke into a fit of giggles.

The front clerk walked up behind them. "Can I help you find anything in

particular?" an elderly witch that was working as a sales assistant

asked. "We have a magical section upstairs, if you are interested."

Remus blushed. "No that will not be necessary. We are actually just

leaving."

The sales witch blocked their exit. "Sorry to hear that, we are having a

wonderful sale on lotions and body butters at the moment. Are you two

together?"

"Umm..well..." Remus stammered.

Kate pulled his hands away from her face. "Yes, we were wondering if you

have any books?" she asked gleefully.

The elderly witch beamed at them. "Why of course, dear. Why don't you

follow me and your boyfriend can pick you out something nice."

The saleswitch led Kate into the back of the shop, leaving Remus staring

at the marital aids in disbelief. When the she returned, Remus

was trying to feign interest in an artificial plant near the front

door.

"Any ideas on what to get your sweetheart?" she asked gently.

Remus blanched. "Madame, I don't believe it would be appropriate for me

to get her anything from a shop like this."

"Nonsense. You love her don't you?" she asked. He nodded, wobbling

slightly. "Well, this store is all about love..alright mostly about

love. Just think of what it took to get you in her, dear. You're

half-smashed, you must love her a lot. So what would you like to

pleasure the woman you love with?" He was silent and looked intently at

the floor. "Do you have any thoughts on the matter?"

Remus blushed. "Not really," he mumbled. "Just not one of those," he

said indicating the wall of personal massagers with a vague hand

movement.

The elderly witch patted his hand. "I'm sure you're more than enough for

her, dear. Now is there anything she really likes?"

"Well, we like the same things really. Books, comfortable bedding,

chocolate..." he said trailing off.

"Come with me then, I think we might have something that both of you

will like," she said with a wink.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Paige wandered into the story, slightly concerned over the fact that

neither Kate or Remus had emerged after almost an hour. She saw Remus

off to the side reading the label of a jar of Honeyduke's chocolate

body spread.

She smirked and sauntered over to him. "Hey Remus, do you know what

that's good on?"

"I've never tried it but I've got some ideas," he said with a wink and

placed the jar in his handbasket next to some honey dust and several

small vials of flavored body oil. He pick up two of the vials. "They

were out of chocolate. Strawberries and cream or cherries jubilee?" he

asked the Animagus.

Paige stiffled a laugh. "I think Kate is more strawberry," she said

trying not cackle. "Do you know they have costumes in the back?"

"Hmmm...that's nice," he said studying the bottles in front of him.

"Wait a minute, what sort of costumes?"

Paige smirked. "Why don't you have a look?"

"Execellent idea, Kate's back there looking at the books," he said

before giving Paige a bearhug. "Thanks, Paige. You're a brillant

friend."

Paige smiled and watched the werewolf wandering into the backroom. "You

have no idea."

She followed him and noticed Sirius googling at the black leather

dresses in the far corner of the costume section. She was more

interested in watching the drunken werewolf, however. She slid behind

Remus and watched as he thumbed through a rack of costumes.

"No, no, no, maybe, no. Gods! Who do you have to bite in this place to

get a proper costume. Some of us have great plans that need to be put

into play.", he snorted before moving on to the next rack. "No, maybe,

maybe, no, definately not, no, no, bloody hell. You have got to be

kidding me, there in a fine establishment like this there isn't one

decent little red riding hood costume to be found. It's the Adult

Superstore for fuck's sake, some of us have women we want to eat," he

shouted causing a handful of patrons to take a step back. "Wait,

never mind, I found it. Sorry about that." Paige giggled as she got a

better view of the costume Remus picked out, it came complete with a

red hooded cape, a low cut peasant blouse, a short skirt, and a black

leather cincher.

Remsus stood up straight and walked determinedly to the counter. "Excuse

me, Miss," he said to the person behind the counter. A young man with

long brown curly hair turned to face him. "Oops, sorry about that, it

is a little hard to tell from the back."

The young man rolled his eyes. "Can I help you?"

Remus nodded. "Yes, do you have this in a larger size?" he asked as he

held up the size 2 costume.

"We carry that in up to a 5X," the sales clerk replied in a bored

fashion.

"Oh, not that big...just about," Remus tried to simulate Kate's figure

with an intricate pattern of hand gestures.

The clerk sighed. "Yes, sir. We have that in your size."

Remus laughed. "No, it's not for me. Hang on a tic," he said. Running

over to where Kate was standing, he slung her over his shoulder. "Her

size," he said patting his mate's bottom.

Kate looked up from her book for a second. "Hello."

The clerk did a double-take as he remembered Kate as one of Paige's

friends. "Do you know her?"

Paige walked up. "Jacob, stop giving him a hard time. After all, you're

the one who wore a bridesmaid dress to your best friend's wedding."

Jacob huffed. "I never did that, I had just promised to."

Remus shook his head. "Sir, I really don't care. I'm just interested in

getting this little lady into that costume so I can eat her properly."

Jacob turned his full attention to the werewolf. "What?"

"Well, she wouldn't let me before so all we got to do is shag and

although that was a truly fabulous experience, we are now tied. So I

really need to get that costume because I won't let her beat me," Remus

stated in a manner that seemed to be quite logical to him at least.

Jacob looked warily at his deranged costumer. "Umm...Just go up to the

front register and they will get you whatever you need."

Remus nodded at the young man. "Thank you, my good man," he said with a

gentel air, before walking to the front of the shop with Kate slung over

his shoulder.

Jacob shook his head and glared at Paige. "You really are surrounded by

the weirdest people, Paige."

Paige shot Jacob a meaningful look. "Well, I'm standing here talking to

a man, who is mistaken for a woman at least five times a night and has

had more men try to get into his pants than I ever have...You're

right, I am." she said before walking away. Sirius chuckled and

followed her.

Paige and Sirius found Kate and Remus by the front door. Kate was

showing Remus pictures from the book.

"Ok children, we are going now." Paige declared as she grabbed the

female werewolf by the hand and pulled her out the door. Leaving Sirius

and Remus to follow in their wake.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sirius watched the two inebriated and enamored werewolves stumble down

the hallway and into their room. He shook his head and sighed. They

made no attempt to hide the wards or silencing charms they placed on

the room, making him decide to try one last time to get Paige to

reconsider her decision not to have sex with him yet.

He turned to her, running his hand lightly down her cheek, and said,

"You know, that could be rather fun."

She pulled him closer and smiled. "There's pillows in the dining room,

why don't we use those?"

Sirius groaned and crushed his mouth to hers as his hands wandered her

body. The slender curve of her neck intriguing him. He ran his fingers

along it gently, causing her to flinch when he tickled her.

They inched towards the dining room, Paige barely remembering to lock

and ward the door on the way.

She undid the buttons on his shirt and yanked it off, throwing it to the

floor. Sirius, in turn, pulled the pins out of her hair and watched as

it cascaded in waves around her. He lit the candles with a word and

smiled as they gave the woman currently undoing his pants an almost

angelic look.

He pulled her down with him and lay next to her, pressing himself

against her curves. He unbuttoned the back of her dress, fumbling a bit

at first, and slid it off her shoulders. He watched intently as it

exposed her breasts to him covered in a pink balconet bra.

Tracing the edges of it, he kissed her deeply, probing the depths of her

mouth with his tongue. The taste of alcohol was still prominent in her

mouth.

Paige squirmed underneath him, releasing the undergarment still covering

her breasts. Sirius grinned at her before sliding his hands over the

peaks, amazed. He sucked and licked each one in turn, earning a little

gasp from her when he did one particular thing with his tongue. He

lavished them with attention, his tongue moving languidly over her.

Paige grew impatient and flipped them over, eager to get on with things.

She charmed their clothes away and gave Sirius an almost predatory smile

before pressing her body to his.

He grasped her waist as he kissed her again. Paige playfully bit his lip

before breaking away.

Sirius caught her arm and tried to pull her back but she resisted. "What

are you doing?" he asked, confused.

Paige knelt down, her face inches away from his arousal. "I'm giving you

your fourth blow job," she stated matter-of-factly.

Grabbing the base, she squeezed gently and felt Sirius tense beneath

her. His eyes were closed and his breathing erratic, anticipating her

actions. She took him into her mouth and heard a strangled sigh, making

her want to smile. He slid his hand up into her hair, fisting it when

she went deep. His hand stayed that way while she continued her

ministrations. Everything went fine for a minute, until Sirius suddenly

swore and simultaneously thrust and pulled her head down at the same

time.

Paige gagged and twisted away, calming her stomach before looking back

at him. "Don't do that!" she said as she put a hand on her stomach.

Sirius's eyes widened and he sat up to hold her. "I'm sorry, luv! I

didn't mean to, it's just that I couldn't think well and it felt so

good. Are you okay? Would you like to stop?" Relief ran through him

when she shook her head and he kissed her cheek. "Good, because I mean

to see this through," he said with an air of determination.

He gently pressed on her shoulder, making her lay down once more.

Stretching out beside her, he propped himself up on his elbow. His hand

traveled down her stomach and he dipped a finger into her cleft. She was

already wet, a fact that made him even more insistent. He stroked her

for a moment before she bucked her hips and made him lose his

patience.

He rolled onto her, positioning himself at her entrance, silently asking

permission with a look. Paige nodded hastily, squirming slightly.

Sirius thrust in and froze. This was much more intense stimulation than

he had anticipated and he knew he wouldn't last long.

Paige seemed to understand his dilemma, because she cast two spells.

Sirius gave her a questioning look and she grinned lopsidedly. "The

first one is a contraceptive spell and the second is a spell to help

you last longer. Do you mind?"

Sirius shook his head and began moving in and out, watching as Paige's

eyes slid closed. His rhythm quickened and he noticed Paige's mouth

slid open, her breath was coming in short breaths. She cried out,

pushing him over the edge. He saw stars appear before his eyes, and he

collapsed on top of her.

A minute passed before Sirius recovered. He lifted his head and started

placing kisses all over Paige's face. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!

That was absolutely amazing!"

Paige giggled and yawned. "Yes it was. It's been an incredibly long day

and I'm tired, do you mind if we just go to bed now?"

Sirius nodded, amazed at how exhausted he suddenly was. "You've had a

hard day, let's call it a night."

Paige smirked and eyed his naked form. "Alright then, I've had a hard

night as well. It's a good thing, too. I needed that after the last

week."

Five minutes later, they had curled up in Paige's bed. Sirius felt

extremely happy and kissed her forehead before settling down for the

night. He pulled her closer, stroking her hair as she fell asleep.

A/N: Awww. How sweet, eh folks? Well, there you have it. Sirius finally got some... costuming tips. Yeah, that's it. Costuming tips. Heh heh. Yes, well, on to reviews!

First of all, let me just say that all three of us are something of review whores, so only getting four reviews (two of which are from our new betas. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!) was somewhat disappointing, to say the least. tsk, tsk So, please, please review.

Jen: Yes, that does have broad implications. Fortunately for you, I don't have a dirty mind. Prof and Rosi start howling with laughter in the background Oh, shut up, you two! Anyway... like I was saying, I don't have a dirty mind evil glare at coauthors so I took it to mean antique twinkies and that sort of thing. Thank you for becoming one of our beta people (sounds like some kind of cult, doesn't it? Beta people... hehe) you are absoultely fantabulous and beautiful. We love ya, babe.

Katarina: I think you'll find, even on the first lick, that Montgomery Manor is really quite dusty. Her great aunt considered a gingerbread house at one point, but quickly threw it out as she didn't like the taste of children. That, and it was hell being on Jenny Craig. Even so, if you ever decide to visit, STAY AWAY FROM THE OVEN!

Yes, you are one of our beta people, heh heh. More cult members. You, also, are fantabulous and beautiful. Not to mention, stunning in the swimsuit competition.

Letishia: Why, thank you. We aim to please.

LadyLynnie: Woohoo! Another one hooked on the rivetting tale we weave. Or, maybe we're weaving tails? I don't know any more, they all look the same. The end is all hairy and there's something icky and smelly at the beginning.

Happy Wednesday, everybody! Have fun waiting for our next installment. It will come soon!
