Written for: ff.n's HP Fanfiction Challenges Forum Drabble Tag - Sirius/Lily; tongue

There was daub of ice cream on the tip of Lily's nose.

Sirius couldn't stop himself staring, though when Lily demanded, "What are you looking at?" he muttered something nondescript and turned his attention back to the parchments they were supposed to be studying. It was Order business--urgent--which demanded their immediate attention as Order business always did. He hadn't meant for her to cast the cone aside when he came in, hating as always that he'd had to interrupt her meager leisure time. Now Sirius tried to pay attention, but the bit of ice cream demanded his concentration as he tried to decide what flavour of ice cream could be on her nose. At first glance it appeared vanilla-white, but if Sirius looked close enough, he thought he could make out a blush of pink, making for dozens more possibilities.

At last he couldn't take it anymore. The mystery was driving him mad and there was only one sensible solution: turn into a dog and lick it off.

"Padfoot!" she squealed, holding up her hands in defence against further attacks.

Sirius let his tongue loll out in an approximation of a canine smile.

It was strawberry ice cream.

Title: Kisses at Midnight

Pairings: Sirius/Lily
Written for: ff.n's HP Fanfiction Challenges Forum Drabble Tag - Sirius/any, kisses at midnight

Sometimes she'll kiss him in the light of the day, in front of all their friends, in front of James. These kisses are chaste, friend-like, and it's his reaction--he's startled every time--that's more suspicious. Sirius lives in fear of the day something is finally said.

Most of the time they'll find each other an indeterminable time after midnight, those nights when dawn is a distant dream. When the war drags on. When the world becomes too much to bear.

Lily is his salvation those nights, her lips soft but her kisses heady and Sirius remembers why he fights.

Title: Early to Bed
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Lily/James/Sirius
Word Count: 100
Written for: shareandsharealike's Three Week's for Dreamwidth Fic-a-thon, prompt 5: Nobody ever makes big enough beds (or showers)


Sleeping nestled between Sirius and James, cocooned by their bodies, made Lily feel safe in ways she hadn’t since the war began. During waking hours, however, the bed was simply too small.

At first, when even kisses were tentative, the bed’s size wasn’t too intolerable, but as the weeks wore on and all three became bolder in their confidence, the number of misplaced elbows or the times bracing hands met air instead of mattress became unbearable.

Tonight was different. Smug grins explained their part in the bed that’s only bigger when they’re on it.

Lily did love her clever boys.

Title: Those Who Defy

Pairing: Alice/Frank

Written for: first_order's Speed Drabble Weekend, prompt loud and defiant


Frank was the one who told her about the prophecy.

He had to meet Dumbledore alone since Alice had been stuck all day with a group of expectant mothers, teaching an Auror-sponsored workshop on how to protect themselves and their families from a Death Eater attack. It was pointless and it was useless, but the workshops seemed to be all the Ministry would assign her ever since they found out she was pregnant.

“Voldemort’s going after our baby?” she asked when Frank’s words sunk in. “No, wait—”

Her husband nodded sombrely. She had thought someone had died when she first arrived home and saw his face. “It might be Lily and James. They defied him three times as well. Dumbledore doesn’t know.”

For a brief moment, Alice allowed herself to wonder if it was worth it, whether what they did was worth the price they paid.

That moment passed and Alice pushed those doubts away. She smiled at Frank. It was shaky and there was no humour behind it, but her husband would appreciate it all the same.

“Then let’s hunt down that bastard. Even if we can’t—even if—at the very least, let’s make it four times.”

Title: Prayer for the Fallen

Written for: first_order's Speed Drabble Weekend, prompt a prayer for the fallen



They couldn’t often get away. The preparations involved in going to the pub, making sure they were reachable by the right people and untraceable by the rest, were a far cry from the spontaneity with which they used to bunk off to the Three Broomsticks. But tonight they made the effort.

It was Sirius’ turn to stand the round, according to Peter who kept track of these things. Once they had their drinks, Remus called for silence, although it was James who spoke.

He kept it simple. “To Clement Thwaite.”

They repeated the toast, drinking to the fallen Order member.

Not a songfic, I just suck at naming things, so I stole some unrelated lyrics.

You know how some people write those "20 Facts you didn't know about X"? Well, I'll probably never cobble together twenty facts.

Forgive the mistakes; it's been ages since I was on the subway in London.

Title: Random Facts
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Sirius, James
Word Count: 415

Sirius learned how to navigate London Underground one Saturday shortly after Lily teased him about how he knew Hogwarts inside-out, with its secret passages and doors that led to a different room depending one whether it was Thursday or raining, but got lost every time he ventured into the Muggle transit system despite the colour-coded maps every five feet.

He spent the entire day on the Tube, getting up early and learning how to transfer from one train to another. A little embarrassed that he didn’t know what he was doing, even if none of the Muggles would ever recognize him, Sirius adopted a disguise (a spare pair of James’ glasses, the lens enchanted so that Sirius could see through them and a pair of trousers and a t-shirt Lily had bought him for undercover work after rolling her eyes at the outfit he’d been wearing before then) and affected an American accent. The latter seemed to fool most of his fellow passengers, even if it did almost get him into a fistfight with a young business man from Chicago who though Sirius was mocking him.

By the end of the day, Sirius had mastered transferring. He knew three ways to get from Charing Cross Road to King’s Cross Station. He could name all the lines that service Baker Street, South Kensington, and Bank and Monument Stations. He had memorized the order of the stations Victoria Line.

All in all, Sirius was pretty proud of himself and in no way thought he deserved Lily’s laughter when he bragged about his accomplishment that evening at the Potters’.

James was inspired by Sirius and decided to replicate the feat a month later. He didn’t tell his wife or best mate, because he planned to surprise them by suggesting the best route the next time they found themselves travelling in London. Plus, if they weren’t aware of the timeline, then they couldn’t mock him mercilessly about having to copy Sirius.

He was especially glad he didn’t tell them after getting hopelessly lost travelling on the Circle Line for two hours waiting to reach Royal Oak, only realizing he was on a closed circuit after passing St. James’s Park for the third time.

After that, he cheerfully put up with the ribbing he got from Lily and Sirius, just happy that they never learned the more embarrassing ammunition.

Learning to navigate London Underground is item number thirty-seven on James’ list of things to do when the war is over.

Title: Served Cold

Pairings: Sirius/Narcissa, implied Sirius/Bellatrix
Written for: blackcest100's Catfight prompt



Narcissa didn’t understand why Bellatrix was so angry when Rodolphus paid attention to her. Everyone knew that theirs was a relationship of convenience only.

But she’d forgotten just how possessive Bellatrix could be. While they weren’t in love, he was still hers—and Bellatrix’s things were off-limits to her sisters. It wasn’t until Narcissa was broken, bleeding and crying for mercy that she remembered that lesson.

Still, Narcissa was a Black. She might slink off, but only to bide time.

Blacks got revenge.

She got Sirius drunk, dyed her hair black and made sure Bellatrix caught her sucking his cock.
