[brainiest]

I'm glad! You'll get to soon, it's not long until we all move. Are you excited?

voice.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Very much so. I've missed living with friends, to be frank.

voice.

[brainiest]

I got to spend summer with them, at the Burrow, but nothing like this. It's going to be amazing, getting to spend time with everyone. Especially you - a-and Sirius, of course. [ Pause. ] The Summer I spent at Grimmauld Place with you both was wonderful.

voice.

[theshabbiestofmen]

--you know, I'm not surprised Sirius and I live together, but in Grimmauld Place?

voice.

[brainiest]

Well, Sirius was in hiding and the house belonged to him. It seemed logical.

voice.

[theshabbiestofmen]

I-- yes, I suppose, though god, he must have been miserable.

[But let's not go there, shall we? Better to focus on the future-- their future.]

Er-- anyway. I imagine you, Lily and I will be the only ones concerned with decoration; would you like to go and buy paint soon?

voice.

[brainiest]

I think he might have been, at least at first. But he brightened up over the holidays when we all visited - and you stayed with him, of course.

[ Yes, better to focus on the good times ahead rather than the bleak reality of things they can't change. ]

Lily has already roped me in to making Christmas decorations with her - but I'd love to go and pick some paint out. I'm going to go crazy and say... Scarlets?

voice.

[theshabbiestofmen]

We are all Gryffindors. It seems in poor taste not to include our original house colors.

voice.

[brainiest]

Well, we could branch out a little, couldn't we? Scarlet, yes, but perhaps some cream, a little turquoise...

voice.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Turquoise, truly? Blue might be nice, something like the sky . . .

voice.

[brainiest]

Sky blue! Oh, that would be wonderful! Maybe we can pain the lounge blue and white? And we could do the upper hallway a nice scarlet, like the dorms at Hogwarts?

[ Pause. ]

Do we have a library?

voice.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Definitely. We'll press-gang the others into it, even if they don't particularly care for one. Lily will back us up on this.

voice.

[brainiest]

I think that with you, Lily and myself combined they won't be able to say no for a second. Even Harry would agree with us - he knows better than to argue with me about libraries now.
