No excitement. What kind of a birthday was that? Probably the kind that even James Potter had forgotten about until that morning, when he was woken up by an owl nipping at his bare shoulder. Also the kind of birthday in which both Mr. and Mrs. Potter were expected at work, and Mrs. Potter tied up in the afternoon with appointments so Mr. Potter couldn't even have a birthday luncheon with her. Turning 38 was proving to be, well, boring.

It hadn't finally happened, had it? James surely hadn't become an adult.

He looked up at the décor in his office. A color changing broomstick, Hermes-esque shoes that floated around the room at will, a radio tuned in to—yes—BBC Radio for sports highlights, soon to be switched over to sportTALK, and then later WWN once wizarding sports went live for the afternoon. His Hogwarts tie hung on the coat rack, swinging slightly from the passing-by of the Hermes shoes. Nothing to worry about; he was still James Potter. Luckily.

He just wished his birthday wasn't so bloody boring.

WHO: James and Sirius and alcohol — maybe the other Marauders??

STATUS: open to Remus or Peter, in progress

James had to admit as he emptied the contents of his liquor cabinet that going next door and encouraging his best friend's binge maybe wasn't the brightest idea in the world. However, Moony had a point: more than anything else, someone needed to be looking after Padfoot. And if that meant letting him mix a really powerful drink, well—then that would be what he'd do.

James gathered their red wine, white wine, vodka, bourbon, gin, and scotch out of the cabinet and placed them on the counter. He also reached for the unopened bottle of tonic and pulled a couple of cans of ginger ale from the fridge, but he made sure he left enough ginger ale for Lily if she needed it. But he wasn't about to leave with that much alcohol and not take anything to cut it with. They weren't spring chickens anymore, after all. Once they were gathered on the counter, he swooped his wand at them and shrank them all down until he could scoop all the bottles up in his hand.

Giving a quick kiss to his wife, he headed out the front door, whistling on his short walk next door. He came in without preamble and headed for the kitchen. "Pads?" He placed the bottles on the counter and returned them to their proper state.

( Lily couldn't help but laugh at him, all flustered and worried and trying to figure out a way to make things up to her. It was so cute how much he cared when he showed it like this. )
