RP: James, Sirius and Remus
Who: James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin Where: Leaky Cauldron, London When: 13th November, 2025 Summary: James, Sirius and Remus catch up.
James had gotten to the Leaky Cauldron a little before he was supposed to meet Sirius and Remus, mostly out of nervousness. It was obvious that the dinner hadn't gone as... Swimmingly as he'd hoped and that tempers had been frayed more than he'd have liked. He just wanted everybody to be friends and yet somewhere, somehow, he'd managed to almost fall out of his other friend's lives. They had their own lives with people he didn't know all that well. And for James, who had always been at the centre of the Marauders, that was a pretty bitter pill to swallow.
He knew that Sirius was hurt from Snape- Severus knowing first about the baby. It had been obvious at dinner and afterwards, when thinking about it, he'd realised that if it had been reversed, he probably would have been furious too. More than furious, most likely. It was only that night that he had seen proof that Severus Snape could be anything but a big, greasy git but he'd try to, more often, for Lily's sake. And it was probably part of that excitement at the fact that Severus wasn't what James had assumed for years that had compelled him to mention the baby.
So he had to fix things. He did. Because he loved Lily and was excited that they had a baby on the way and he also wanted his mates around him however selfish that sounded. And Sirius and Remus had been there since the first day of Hogwarts and the idea of them not being there was just too weird to comprehend. So he had to sort it out.
Once he'd ordered a pint from the bar, James found a booth and sat down. He then picked up and studied the menu, waiting for his friends to join him.
