Hey Guys, thank to the people who reviewed and anyone else who read it. heres chapter 2.
Chapter 2: Breakfasts and Break Ups.
It was 11.30 In James' flat and he grudgingly opened his eyes, cursing Sirius for having the idea of a 'flat-warming' party. Looking over to the other side of the bed he noticed that Lily wasn't there and figured she must have gone home.
Painfully aware of the sun peaking through his curtain he turned over stuffed his face in the pillow and grumbled.
"Padfoot for this you will pay."
The situation couldn't have been more different for Sirius who was up and already out of the flat by nine for his breakfast with Penny.
"Aw Pen, you're so good to me." Sirius said putting a big smile on his face as she plopped a full English breakfast down in front of him.
"Poor baby. You have been so neglected; you need a woman around that flat of yours."
Sirius tried not to cringe at her use of the word baby. As far as he was concerned the word baby should be reserved for when referring to a child not old enough to be properly classed as a child. In his years of dating he had always hated when his girlfriend at the time, or as his fellow Marauders would refer to her 'Flavour of the week', would call him baby, or sweetheart, or hunny or anything slushy for that matter. The 'flavours of the week' probably thought it romantic, he thought it nauseating, very much in the same way he found Madam Puddifoots nauseating on Valentines Day.
"Oh I don't know. I think James is enough to be getting along with at the minute. Besides he's a surprisingly good cook James. He mum taught him how to do a few things saying that it was always nice if a man made his wife breakfast in bed to prove that he appreciates her. So until that fateful day when James ends up with a ball and chain he will have to settle for appreciating me."
"Well if he's so good at cooking breakfast why am I cooking it for you? Not that I mind of course, I like doing things for my big bear." She queried clearly not seeing her 'Big Bear' roll his eyes.
"My esteemed best friend is far too hung over this morning. Still recovering from his hangover from last night's party to think about cooking his new flat mate breakfast." Sirius answered not seeing the very much affronted look on his current, but if she carried on with these 'cute' pet names not for much longer, girlfriend.
"You had a party. Why didn't you invite me? You said that it was just gonna be you and James toasting the fact that you guys live together now, you said that you would be so exhausted from moving his stuff in you would probably be in bed by 12."
Sirius inwardly groaned at her but forced himself to look up from the fried bread he was trying to eat to look at Penny and quickly explain himself,
"It wasn't a party not really just that, after we spoke, Remus and Pete came over to see how the moving went, so it wasn't really a party."
"So it was just the four of you then?"
"Well no. Lily and Mel came by as well." He answered.
"Oh so all girlfriends but me were invited?"
"No." He again answered her but starting to get angry that his breakfast was going to go cold if he didn't get stuck in soon. "Peter's girlfriend wasn't there."
"Pettigrew hasn't got a girlfriend." She quickly retorted.
"Well no but he is only days away from that girl from Flourish and Blotts succumbing to his...charms."
"That's not the point Sirius, I am starting to feel as though I am not even your girlfriend anymore……" Sirius tuned out her rant and got back to his breakfast quickly thing about the easiest way to dump her, after having dated her for three weeks he decided that it was time to move on. Really she should be proud, there were very few girlfriends that lasted three weeks, although if he was honest, the only reason she lasted three weeks was because she made a bloody good breakfast.
"Peter. It's two in the afternoon."
"Yes Remus I know. I can tell the time, contrary to those rumours that were spread about me in fourth year."
"So Peter, if you're so good at telling the time then why are you here."
"What d'ya mean? What's wrong with me being and Padfoots and Prongs' place? You've only just walked in, in anyone has leave it should be you."
"Didn't you have a job interview for that Internship at the Ministry of Magic today?"
"Yes but that isn't until half one."
Peter sat back in couch seeming to think he had won the argument. But within seconds he leaped from the couch, bolted out the room and shouted back "Thanks Moony."
"That man has issues." James stated before taking a mouthful of coffee. Remus sat down on the couch Peter had just vacated and agreed before starting a different conversation.
"So mate, what time did you drag yourself out of bed?"
"Only about an hour ago actually, got up drank some of that disgusting hangover cure Lily left for us, jumped in the shower and am still eating my breakfast." He finished gesturing to the mug of coffee in his left hand and the plate of toast that sat on the coffee table in front of him.
"Yeah Lily had said you would probably be out of it for hours yet when I saw her earlier on, she was meeting Mel before buying some more supplies for her training."
"Oh you saw Mel this morning. Is she stuck with Rita Skeeter again today?"
"Nah. When I met her for lunch she said that her boss had noticed straight away that she was in no fit state for work so told her to just look over the subscriptions for the next six months."
"Good Enough."
About twenty minutes after Remus had arrived Sirius walked back into the flat looking as though he had had a rough morning.
"Hey guys. Prongs, Moony.
"Hey Padfoot. Where've you been all day?"
"Went to see Pen this morning and she ended up ranting about how I don't treat her properly and that she doesn't even feel like my girlfriend. So I told her I said "Pen, we can fix that. It's over."
"What? She was okay with that." Remus said in a tone highly doubting it was possible.
"Well no. She didn't take too kindly to that, she was a bit angry at first but then she got quite pathetic saying about how "I didn't need to do this" and that she could change. You know it kind of reminded me of when Jessie Collymore dumped Peter in sixth year and he followed her around for a week begging her to reconsider. Sad." He bowed his head and began shaking it as though to prove how devastating he seemed to find this but the effect was lost as he lifted his head with a grin on his face.
"The good news is after leaving Penny's I knocked this girl over in the street."
"That's the good news?" asked James after exchanging a look with Remus.
"Yeah, Sirius answered, "She was quite a looker, we're going out later tonight."
"But you just broke up with Penny." Remus remarked.
"I know Remus but the heart heals in many different ways."
Ok. Chapter 2 please review and let me know what you think.
