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.
