poisoned youth

"I was a king under your control" Sirius Orion Black || Gryffindor || 16 || Marauder ||

A giggling girl gave me heart shaped chocolates filled with cherry liquor. I feel suspicious because I’m pretty sure Slughorn just gave a lecture on amorentia but I want to eat them anyway. The struggle, as you see, is very real.

“Well.. I hope that no one in particular strategy works out for you. There is a girl or two I wouldn’t mind having a snog with, but as my dad said, always keep your options open.”

“Very wise. As long as you stay away from people you don’t want to kiss, you will do just fine. But still, keep an eye open for pretty girls standing under mistletoe, you don’t want to miss your chance.”

“Setting your hair on fire? Now that would be a sight to see, it’ll keep me plenty entertained,” Peter said, egging him on with his eyes. “Alright, enough of this king B.S., we both know I’m not fit to be in charge of anyone. I like the idea, but maybe we could get them to do something else whenever Dumbledore is around? Two birds, one stone.”

“I am not setting my hair on fire for your entertainment, Wormtail. Snevillus hair on the other hand...” He laughed and shook his head. “Eh, who wants to be a leader, anyway? Lots of work. Leave that to people like James, comes natural to them.” He sighed softly. “That is a clever idea but what could the cookies do to leave Dumbledore speechless?”

[lumpofaboy]

“You’ll learn, Padfoot. You don’t have a choice, after all. Maybe you could get that elf of yours to help?” He said, chuckling. “Fine, fine! Two knuts then, and not a knut more! Sheesh, are you trying to bankrupt the kingdom?” He shook his head. “Your king demands both real food and shenanigans. What can we do about this?”

[xcanisx-blog]

“Kreacher? I’d rather set my hair on fire, thank you very much.” He rolled his eyes, chuckling. “Fine, fine. I’ll take it. In this economy, I could use the extra sickles. Anyway...Food I can find easily and shenanigans...I can make gingerbread cookies dance to Christmas carols. Entertaining enough for you, my king?”

[lumpofaboy]

“My first order as king… You shall be my court jester. Also a knight. And my cook. You’re basically my servant. But don’t worry, you’ll be compensated fairly - 1 knut per week.” He chuckled. “As long as I don’t have to think about my impending failure, sounds like a plan.”

[xcanisx-blog]

“I can pull off the jester and the knight thing but cooking? Do you want to die of food poisoning or have the castle burn down? What? A knut for a week of work? You are already crazy with power, this calls for a revolution. Down with the monarchy!” He laughed and shook his head. “Shut up, you’ll be fine. Eat a marshmallow and forget your troubles, Wormtail.”

[caradoc-cares-not]

“Oh, well, you know I’ll bring your studly face cookies any time– day, night, or in between. Why must you always be the harsh bringer of reality, Sirius? Why? I’m a peacock; you gotta let me fly.”

[xcanisx-blog]

“Is that a promise? Cause let me tell you, I crave food at the weirdest times. Ask the house elves. One time I went to the kitchens at three am because I wanted spaghetti.  I’m sorry! You know I’m usually down for anything with you but sometimes, limits must be set. You don’t want to be Icarus, do you? You’re too handsome for that!”

[lumpofaboy]

“But being a smart ass is my specialty,” Peter said, rubbing his punched arm lightly. “Make sure the crown shows off my spectacular-ness. I wouldn’t say no to a throne, either.” He grinned lightly before continuing. “If they decide to test us on our ability to prank people, I’ll ace the exam for sure. If not… Eh. At least I kind of tried.”

[xcanisx-blog]

“King Smartass...Has a nice ring to it. I approve. We shall crown you soon enough, my friend. Don’t you worry.” He promised. “You’ll ace your exams, Peter. It’s just a matter or practise. We will help you out, okay? But for now, let’s just focus on having some fun, yes?”

[lumpofaboy]

“I do what I please,” he said, chuckling. “I’m practically royalty. But I think that may end up being his undoing, if that makes sense? He’s so smart that he wouldn’t expect a simple little trick.” Peter shrugged. “Maybe I’m over simplifying this. I’ll find some mistletoe,” he added with a wry smile. “Charms and charming have never been my strong suit.”

[xcanisx-blog]

“Oi, don’t be a smart ass.” He playfully punched Peter’s arm. “You’re a royal idiot. I’ll get you your crown and everything.” He laughed. “You know, maybe you are right. Maybe something small will do the trick. We’ll see.” Sirius shrugged. “Anyway...Don’t worry about the charms, mate. You can use this as practice for exams and shit. It’ll be fun.”

[kingsley--shacklebolt-blog]

“Solid advice, Sirius. Who are you hoping to stick by?” 

[xcanisx-blog]

“Me? Well...I-I think I just... No one in particular, you know? I’ll just hang around people I wouldn’t hate to kiss. My friends, probably. What about you? Any pair of lips you’re keeping your eye on?”

[inthelilies-blog]

“Yet we all know it won’t because he charmed it himself. Is all really fair in love and kisses under the mistletoe if everyone doesn’t have an equal chance of getting caught?”

[xcanisx-blog]

“Oh but that’s where the fairy of holidays, aka me comes in. I will charm mistletoe so it works on him and so, fairness will be restored.”

“Please alert me to the ongoing status of this hypothetical project, and let me know if there’s any way I can assist you. I’m awesome at baking cookies, which I’m pretty sure are great brain food. Aw, man…. but skirting the line of ‘too much trouble’ is the whole point.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep you updated, handsome.” He chuckled. “Oh, cookies? You know I always love to get free and delicious food. And yes, it’s all fun and games until you get slapped and you get labelled as a pervert for eternity. Is just not worth it, mate.”

[lumpofaboy]

“Right, of course that was your goal,” Peter said with a wink. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. Your secret is safe with me. That would be a sight to see, though. You and James could probably pull it off if you tried.” He turned his head and looked around. “I don’t see them anywhere. I guess it’s just us. So, what’s the plan, boss?”

[xcanisx-blog]

“Don’t wink at me you little shit. Well, we've tried before but is not that easy. That man is smart isn’t easy to trick, you know? But I will manage to do it before graduating, cross my heart.” He traced an x above his heart and then smirked. “First, we need fresh mistletoe. And some serious charming, my friend.”

[kingsley--shacklebolt-blog]

“There is nothing to complain about potential holiday kisses, but that doesn’t make him any less of a sneaky bastard. He’s just a sneaky bastard who is a semi-wingman on top of it. Isn’t it weird that our Headmaster also wants to play wingman?” 

[xcanisx-blog]

“He is a genius, Kingsley. A genius. Pff, nah. He is a lovely man, he just trying to get us to have some fun, nothing weird about that. Just enjoy the Christmas fun and stick around someone you want to kiss.”

[caradoc-cares-not]

“Hypothetically speaking…. Do you think the mistletoe works on professors? And do you think being forced to kiss by a demented piece of shrubbery would be enough to avoid detention for inappropriate touching? Hypothetically.”

[xcanisx-blog]

“Well, hypothetically me and the boys are working on getting a mistletoe that works on the professors so, you know...Keep an eye open for that. I’d keep my hands to myself, though. You don’t want to get in too much trouble.”

[lumpofaboy]

“You’re telling me you’d get enjoyment out of Dumbledore and McGonagall snogging in the corner? You’re a sick man, Padfoot,” Peter said with a chuckle. “But… I was thinking of something along the same lines. Shall we get the boys in on this?”

[xcanisx-blog]

“No, I’m saying that I would enjoy Dumbledore reacting to mistletoe yelling at him to kiss someone. It is a goal of mine to leave that mine speechless for one reason or the other.” He smirked. “If you can find them, yes. If not...We’ll have to fly solo, Wormtail. I’m not missing the chance to make some holiday pranks.”

[kingsley--shacklebolt-blog]

“Knowing Dumbledore, he’s made sure he’s not affected in any way. Sneaky bastard.” 

[xcanisx-blog]

“Don’t be bitter, Kingsley. The man is clever. Besides,are you really going to complain about potential holiday kisses?

[lumpofaboy]

“I’d hate to see that… Who do you think he would get paired with?” Peter shuddered at the thought. “But he probably bewitched it to target everyone except himself.”

[xcanisx-blog]

“C’mon, Peter, don’t be like that. Love is love and all that.” He laughed. “I don’t know. I just want to see Dumbledore’s reaction , to be honest. But you’re right, he is clever as the devil. Maybe we should make out own mistletoe to make professors kiss each other.”
