SAGE & SIRIUS

sirius
so, as i'm sure you're aware, the halloween dance thing is coming up

sage
in a month in a half
why are we talking about it now

sirius
well, lily and i were talking, and apparently eighteen is the year you become an adult in the muggle world
and we were thinking that maybe we could turn the halloween dance into a birthday party for you

sage
i don't want a birthday party

sirius
you've never had a birthday party before
let me do this for you
please

sage
i don't want a birthday party
especially if the entire school is going to be there
if anything, i would just want it to be you, me, lily, mar. charlotte, maia, remus, james, your brother, and ro
no one else

sirius
fine
will you still go to the dance with me?
and then we can have an after party with just your friends to celebrate?

sage
you know how i feel about my birthday
i really don't want any celebrations

sirius
pleaseeeeee sage
i won't get you any presents
i just want to see you blow out the candles on a birthday cake
it could be your birthday present to me?

sage
is that really what you want for your birthday?

sirius
yes.

sage
fine
only because it's more for you than it is for me

LILY & SAGE

sage
why did you put the idea in my boyfriend's head that i want a birthday party?

lily
because you've never had one!!!
i mean, 17 years and no birthday parties?
you deserve at least one party

sage
i've had 17 peaceful years of 99% of the population not knowing when my birthday is
please, lily. don't do anything special for me

lily
wow you used the P word
that's almost as rare as the L word

sage
oh shut up
hey, what's the theme for this year's dance? last year was masquerade, what is it this year

lily
"in the meadow" according to mcgonagall, who's leading the planning committee

sage
that sounds wretched
do i have to go?

lily
yes.

sage
damnit

u kno da vibes
