Thank you so much to my reviewers, it really made my day! Hope you enjoy this chapter!
"Come on mate, it was a joke!" Sirius cried throwing himself onto the sofa in the common room.
"Didn't seem like it to me." James huffed, folding his arms across his chest. Remus laughed- he thought James looked like an oversized toddler.
"It's not like were together or anything!" Sirius said looking at his best friend.
"She kissed you and you offered to take her to Slug's party."
"And she said yes! I didn't make her!" Sirius moaned.
"But you asked her!"
"But she said yes!"
"But you asked her! You wanted her to say yes!" James said waving an accusing finger at Sirius.
"What I want is irrelevant. She still said yes!"
"She never said yes to me!"
"That's because you're an arsehole, mate!" Sirius laughed patting his friend on the back.
"Beg yours?"
"That is you're erm… a fine young man who just can't erm… well you act like an arsehole."
"Not much better Sirius" Remus noted from over the top of his book.
"Well, you are!" Sirius cried defensively. "You're a git!"
"Excuse me, I'm the victim here! You're meant to be apologising to me not insulting me! And besides, you're an arsehole too!"
"An arsehole?" Sirius exclaimed looking offended. "That's low James, even for you." And with that he got up and left the room. James looked at Remus confused.
"How is it ok that when he calls me names it's alright, but when I call him the same thing, he becomes a hormonal teenage girl?"
"No idea Prongs, I'm not from his planet." Remus replied, turning a page in his book.
After several minutes of confused silence, James decided to go down to the great hall for breakfast. He chuckled with delight at the sight that met his eyes.
Mountains of Cumberland sausages, bacon butties, eggs of all varieties, black pudding, hash browns and bowls of mushrooms, tomatoes and fried bread. The FULL English breakfast.
The instant he sank his teeth into one of the warm butties with melted butter dripping off the bacon, he forgot his sorrows about Sirius and Lily. That is until he looked up over the sausage mountain.
It had been so high before that he hadn't noticed. But now some of the thick sausages were pilled onto his plate, instead of the mountain, the mountain was now a hill and he could see over it.
There, just behind the most delightful sausage he had ever seen in his life, besides the ones on his plate, was the most delightful girl he had ever seen in his life, locking lips with the most evil arsehole he had ever seen in his life.
"Sirius?" he asked politely. Sirius kindly obliged and pulled away from the girl.
"Yes?"
"Have a sausage"
"You what?"
"A sausage." And with that, he grabbed the biggest Cumberland sausage known to Hogwarts kind, smothered it in ketchup and stuffed it into his friend's mouth.
"Rather good today, don't you think?"
Sirius chewed fiercely and swallowed the sausage looking murderous.
"You know damn well James, that I only like Lincolnshire sausages and that was a bloody Cumberland!"
"Oh but they were so juicy, I wouldn't want you to miss out!" James replied batting his eyelids.
"I can't believe you're fighting over sausages." Lily moaned hiding her head in her arms.
"You're right, we shouldn't fight about sausages." Sirius sighed apologetically.
James looked at his friend. The apologetic note was there, but so was the mischievous glint he had come to associate with Sirius.
"Have and egg!" Sirius cried tossing a fried egg onto his friend's face. The yoke broke as it hit his face, making it look like he had a runny eye.
"Or do you prefer them scrambled?" he gave a war cry and tipped the bowl of eggs onto his friends head.
"Or boiled?" he cried picking one up out of the basket. James retaliated and seized the biggest, longest black pudding in all of Scotland and began waving it around, trying to hit Sirius but being unsuccessful, and hitting the love of his life, Lily, instead, as his face was still obscured by the fried egg.
"Bloody hell! I'm never dating either of you!" Lily leaped out of her seat, narrowly avoiding a missile of fried bread.
"My girlfriend" Sirius cried in despair.
"My love!" James sank to his knees. The egg fell of his face with a splat.
"You lost me my girl!" Sirius yelled at him.
"I saw her first!"
"But she hates you!"
"I know!" James cried. He looked down at his hands. "I know."
Sirius suddenly felt bad for his best friend. James really liked Lily and he had only made things worse.
"You're not really an arsehole." He said rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.
"Yeah I am."
"No, you're a top friend, my best friend. I was an arsehole, you were right."
"No, I am. What kind of friend forces his best friend to eat a Cumberland sausage when they prefer Lincolnshire?" James said seriously.
Remus looked at James sitting on the floor, so Sirius with a slice of fried bread on his head.
"Barmy." He said and walked off.
"It wasn't bad for a Cumberland though" Sirius said fairly.
"It was Cumberland none the less."
"I'll forgive you. I'll even help you to win Lily over!" Sirius laughed enthusiastically. Almost maniacal.
"I think we have bigger fish to fry." James said darkly looking up.
"Fish? Oh dear Lord, I've given you concussion with a boiled egg!" he cried rushing to his friends side.
"No, I'm talking about that!" James said pointing behind Sirius.
There stood Regulus Black posing in his brother's beloved poncho.
"Suits my complexion wouldn't you say!" He laughed, giving the two boys a twirl in his new garment.
Sirius suddenly gave a huge war cry and started forward with a fresh bowl of boiled eggs, James in tow with a now broken ring of black pudding.
"I'll get you, you mark my words!"
When it was clear that they were not going to catch up with Regulus, Sirius turned to his friend.
"We've lost him."
"But it won't be long until he resurfaces." James grinned evilly.
"And when he does, he's going to wish he had never been born."
Hey, I hope you enjoyed it. I think you can tell I'm on a diet- i might be a veggie but omg, do bacon butties and cumberland sausages look good when you're eating rabbit food!
