things have changed for me
This is nowhere near as good as the perfection from @jiilys and @alrightpotter but this was still super fun to write.
James Potter to but does Buzzfeed know which friends character it is in five random questions: approximately how many jelly beans are too many
James Potter: because I bought all of the bags in the store
Sirius Black: enough to fill a car?
James Potter: I think it’ll be enough to fill Claire
Sirius Black: “riding claire” wasn’t even funny the first time prongs
Remus Lupin: wouldn’t it be “riding in claire”??
Peter Pettigrew to i’m lizzie bennet and sirius black is way hotter than darcy: I don’t think this is going to work
Peter Pettigrew: and even if it does, will people even watch it?
Sirius Black: people watched it on the middle
Remus Lupin: you’re the only person on earth who watches the middle
James Potter: does anyone even watch our regular videos
James Potter to Lily Evans: you coming to help film?
Lily Evans: of course I’m coming to help
Lily Evans: I wanna get my hands on some peach jelly beans
James Potter: they’re gonna be stuck to the other jelly beans
James Potter: (if this works)
Lily Evans: peach jelly beans with obstacles
Sirius Black to but isn’t james potter more of a state of mind: prongs way
Sirius Black: where are you
Remus Lupin: remember when you texted like a human being

Lily Evans to James Potter: I can’t believe those jelly beans actually melted and stuck to the car
James Potter: I can’t believe you ripped a chunk off and started eating it
James Potter: thanks for filming, by the way
Lily Evans: just call me Freddie Benson💋
James Potter to Sirius Black: she sent me a kiss emoji

James Potter added Remus Lupin to the chat
Remus Lupin: its like three am
Remus Lupin: i need my beauty sleep
Sirius Black: its not working
Peter Pettigrew to not like that, we just had tacos: WE’RE ON BUZZFEED
Peter Pettigrew sent a link to These Crazy Hilarious YouTubers Filled A Car with Jelly Beans to See If They Would Melt
Sirius Black: they called us “crazy hilarious”
Remus Lupin: a woman in the comments said “they get paid to do this?” though so I wouldn’t say we’re famous yet
Peter Pettigrew: if we got paid to do this I wouldn’t have to work at starbucks
James Potter to i’m sorry for being right, sirius: i’m adding Lily to the chat

Remus Lupin named the chat stop
Remus Lupin: come up with some better jokes padfoot
James Potter named the chat Group Chat
James Potter added Lily Evans to the chat

Lily Evans to APRIL THE GIRAFFE HAS GIVEN BIRTH: guess who I just met
Remus Lupin: i can literally hear u laughing from ur room padfoot
Remus Lupin: that was not remotely funny
Sirius Black: i’m being joyful
Sirius Black: u already look twenty years older than u are
Sirius Black: u wouldn’t if you laughed a little
James Potter: can we stay on topic pls
James Potter: who did you meet?
Lily Evans: so I flipped a coin to decide whether to get a burger or go out to lunch with Petunia
James Potter: that is an easy decision??? u didn’t need to flip a coin
Lily Evans: but it worked out
Lily Evans: I went to lunch with Petunia
Lily Evans: (it was so fancy)
Lily Evans: and I met some YouTube exec who said they needed some “good, cleancut kids” to make videos and work with them and stuff
Sirius Black: and you didn’t lead with this?!
James Potter: excellent job lil!
Remus Lupin to Sirius Black: so he’s already calling her “lil”
Sirius Black: better than “lily evans, love of my life and future wife”
Remus Lupin: so what’s with the whole coin thing?
Sirius Black: jim said she went out to dinner with petunia and vernon, got smashed, and vowed to flip a coin for all her decisions
Sirius Black: and now she’s sober and is too stubborn to change her mind
Remus Lupin: already calling him “jim”, huh?
Sirius Black: ours is a forbidden love
Peter Pettigrew to WE HAVE NO IDEAS: so what are we going to do for our pitch
James Potter: look at the name of the chat
Peter Pettigrew: but we have to come up with something
Sirius Black: how about “girl decides to flip a coin for every decision”
James Potter to Lily Evans: so come over around seven so we can start filming
Lily Evans: I flipped a coin and it says eight
James Potter: flip that coin and see if you’d like to come to dinner with me
James Potter: (but like, only if you want to)
James Potter to Remus Lupin: REMUS WHAT HAVE I DONE
James Potter sent Remus Lupin a picture
James Potter: she’s going to think im some “nice guy” who thinks he deserves sex just bc they’re friends
Remus Lupin: james, chill
Remus Lupin: tbh that might be better than her first impression of you
Lily Evans to James Potter: I don’t need a coin for that decision ;)
Lily Evans: pick me up in twenty?
James Potter: sounds like a plan
James Potter to Remus Lupin: YES
James Potter to Sirius Black: YES
James Potter to Peter Pettigrew: YES
Remus Lupin to I’m not a regular buzzkill, I’m a cool buzzkill: hey, we’re ready to go
Remus Lupin: Sirius has literally poured a pot of coffee into his mouth
Sirius Black: its true, i did
Lily Evans: we’re on our way
Sirius Black to Peter Pettigrew and Remus Lupin: “we’re on our way”
Remus Lupin: can we be mature about this
Remus Lupin: lol just kidding james must be freaking out
Sirius Black: wonder if they’re gonna tell us?
Peter Pettigrew: idk be cool
James Potter to are you driving a snail? it’s been twenty minutes: we’re pulling in
Lily Evans: we brought bagels!
Sirius Black to WITHOUT JAMES: she is wearing HiS SoCKs
Remus Lupin: they can’t possibly think we don’t know
Remus Lupin: we should probably act surprised when they tell us
Sirius Black: what is right
Sirius Black: what is wrong
Sirius Black: i don’t know anymore
Remus Lupin: I can see sweat dripping down your face
Peter Pettigrew: don’t u think they see us texting under the table
Lily Evans changed the chat name to why are we texting
Lily Evans: are you guys taking a vow of silence
Lily Evans: james already filmed a bit of me flipping the coin to decide my outfit and what to get for breakfast
Lily Evans: maybe my next decision should be deciding whether we should have an actual conversation
Peter Pettigrew: their on to us
Peter Pettigrew: oops I didn’t send that to anyone
Lily Evan to remus we’re out of biscuits: alright, I finished editing our video!
James Potter: too good for me
Lily Evans: I’ll get it ready to present to the YouTube exec too
Remus Lupin to WE HAVE BEEN OUT OF BISCUITS FOR THREE DAYS: we need to talk about our pitch
Remus Lupin: more specifically, what we’re wearing
Remus Lupin: bc sirius, you did not need to order me seventeen boxes of clothes
Remus Lupin: james, you did not need to send me twenty pairs of shoes and fifteen watches
James Potter: we’re like robin hood
James Potter: except without the stealing
Lily Evans to James Potter: the pitch is at four, could you swing by my house about two hours before
Lily Evans: its more fun getting ready when there’s someone with you
Lily Evans: and then we’ll drive there together
James Potter: I’m starting to think you don’t know how to drive
Lily Evans: I just prefer going with you
Peter Pettigrew to never gonna give you up: that went well?
Remus Lupin: surprisingly
James Potter: I think we got the job?
Peter Pettigrew: MONEYYYYYYYYYY
Sirius Black: greed is a sin pete
Remus Lupin: says the man who actually tried to create a swimming pool of money
Lily Evans: drinks on me!
Sirius Black to are u sure u still want to pay, lily?: u guys have been on like two dates
Sirius Black: u don’t have to act married
James Potter: it’s called being in love
James Potter: u should try it sometime
Lily Evans: you’re in love with me?
James Potter: I did NOT mean that
Lily Evans: that’s a shame, because I’m pretty in love with you
