Drunk calls and first names
(21st October, Friday 17:32)
(we love Taylor)
Padfoot: I need you to wish me luck
Moony: and why would I do something nice like that ??
Padfoot: because I'm going out tonight with James, Wormy and some old friends from school
Padfoot: andddddddd as punk rock and cool as I am ;)
Padfoot: I have a confession to make
Moony: ok……
Padfoot: I have an absolutely SHIT tolerance
Padfoot: so if you get some very suggestive messages probably best to ignore them, drunk Padfoot flirts more than sober Padfoot :/
Moony: HA of course you have a bad tolerance
Moony: you know in some ways that explains so much about you
Padfoot: hey !????
Padfoot: not true, most of things about me can be explained back to my childhood trauma >:(
Moony: how do I respond ??
Padfoot: laugh and move on, unfiltered comments about my trauma is a given, get used to it Moony
Moony: only if you can get used to my self deprecating comments
Padfoot: as long as you let me shout at you for being stupid and tell you all the amazing things about you ;)
Moony: ugh fine
Moony: but I will roll my eyes !!!
Padfoot: oh Moony I don’t doubt it ;)
(21:57)
*incoming call from Padfoot <3*
“Moony !!”
“Hello Padfoot.”
“You answereeeddd.”
“You called without texting first, I thought something might be wrong.”
“Nothings wrongggg.”
*deep sigh*
“I just miss you.”
*confused laughter*
“How can you miss me? I haven’t gone anywhere.”
“It's crazy right?”
“But I'm out with my friends and I keep looking over to find you, but you’re not here.”
“Oh Padfoot, I want to say that’s sweet but it’s also kind of sad.”
“Sirius.”
“Yes, I'm serious?”
“Nooooo Sirius.”
“I’m still completely lost?”
“Sirius.”
“That’s my name.”
“Oh?”
“Oh!”
*pause*
“Ugh why is your name so cool?!”
"And I'm sure your name is cool tooooo."
“Oh you sweet, innocent, person, how wrong you are!”
“Come on!”
“It can’t be that bad?!”
“Oh but it is!”
“Ok, what if you say it fast, like introducing yourself.”
*coughs dramatically*
“For example;”
"It’s so nice to re-meet you. My name is Sirius Black."
*quiet laughter*
"Well Sirius Black, it’s very nice to re-meet you too, my name is Remus Lupin."
*inquisitively*
"Remus?
“Oh no, you now have way too much power, there is so much you can now make fun of me for!”
“Please, my name is Sirius, my brother's name is Regulus and my cousin's name is Andromeda.”
“It would be hypocritical if I made fun of you for, quite frankly, a lovely name.”
*pause*
*dismissive laughter*
“You are so drunk.”
“Drunk words are sober thoughts Moonshine!”
“And suddenly Remus isn’t so bad anymore!!”
“Oh please!!”
“You love my nicknames Remus!”
*laughter*
“I really, really don’t.”
*silence*
“I’m just joking, they’re not that bad!”
“No it’s not that, although I appreciate the compliment,”
“I feel like I know your name, but I'm wayyyy too drunk to know why.”
*laughter*
“Wait!”
“Yes?”
*exclaiming*
“Remus, you study History and English Lit!”
"Yes….. I am quite aware, seeing as I am the one who studies them?”
“How is this relevant?!”
“Because……. It's ironic!”
“You study classics and history and your name is Remus Lupin!!”
“Remus, as in Romulus and Remus who were raised by wolves, from Roman history.”
“And Lupin, which is wolf in Latin, the language of classics!”
“Your name literally means wolf wolf!!”
"How do you… ?
"Ohhhhh, I forgot you speak Latin.”
“Your name is wolf wolf, Remus, this is AMAZING!”
“Is it though?”
“Yes!”
“Wait let me guess, your mum’s name is Lupe Lupin or something?!?”
“Close enough.”
“My dad’s name was Lyall Lupin.”
“Which means wo-“
“Wolf, it comes from Old Norse!”
“I-“
“Yes.”
“Your knowledge of languages is quite terrifying.”
“Why thank you Wolf Wolf.”
“And all of a sudden moonshine is my new favourite name!!”
“Oh!”
“Your middle name is probably wolf related too!
“Let me guess??”
“Loup!”
“Lobo!”
“Just wolf in English ?”
"Nope."
*pause*
"It's John."
"John !?!”
*laughing*
“Yes, John.”
"Remus John Lupin, are you aware that your name is, in fact, Wolf John Wolf!!!”
*laughing*
"Yes Sirius, I am quite aware my name is Wolf John Wolf."
"But that doesn’t mean much coming from the person whose whole family is named after stars!"
"What's your middle name?”
“Scorpius!”
“Cygnus?”
“Pegasus?!”
“Atlas!”
“Hercules??”
*awe*
"Wow, you know, like.. all of the stars, Moony."
*chuckling*
"All the stars? How drunk are you?"
"I'm not that drunk!?!"
“I know that my name is Sirius and your name is Remus."
*laughing quietly*
"Well I'm very glad you still know your own name."
“Why do you know so many stars though Remus?”
"Well I had an interest in astronomy as a kid, but as I got older I preferred sunsets to the stars."
“You wound me!"
"Huh?"
"You chose sunsets over stars, Moony, how could you !?”
“Do I mean nothing to you?"
*laughing fondly*
"Not personal, it’s just easier to take photos of sunsets than the stars."
"Ahhh so you chose the easy way out."
"Exactly."
*footsteps coming closer*
*Marlene’s voice*
"Sirius, are you ok?"
"Yep fine, just talking to someone."
"Ok well come back out when you’re ready."
"Ok."
“……”
*Softly*
“You should go back to your friends Sirius.”
“You are my friend!”
“I mean the friends you’re out with right now, you can talk to me anytime.”
“But-“
“Go!”
“Enjoy your night.”
“And who knows maybe next time you won’t have to talk to me on the phone.”
“But Moony I would miss you if you ghosted me?!?”
*laughing*
“No you idiot, I mean I would be there too.”
“Ohhhhhhh.”
“I think I would like that.”
*lowers voice*
“A lot.”
*matches quiet tone*
“Yeah, me too Sirius .”
*coughs, breaking tension*
“Ok, now go!”
“Ugh fineee!”
“Goodbye Remus Lupin.”
“Goodbye, Sirius black.”
*call ended 20 mins*
Sirius walked back into the bar to see Marlene waving at him from their table, he grinned widely as he made his way back to the group.
“Who were you talking to?” Marlene inquired as they sat down.
“You know that wrong number I texted a while ago, Remus Lupin?”
A look of recognition flashed across Marlene's face, but she quickly covered it, knowing Sirius was too drunk to even have noticed. She just nodded smilingly at Sirius and pushed his drink across the table towards him, as James and Dorcas came back to the table with another round.
Marlene watched Dorcas as they made their way over to the table, they smiled brightly, catching Marlene’s eye. Marlene grinned back, caught up for a moment in her partner's eyes. Marlene forgot what she was doing, luckily James sitting down beside her caused her to look away and remember what she was thinking about.
Marlene and Dorcas exchanged a look as they sat down and she signalled for Dorcas to take out their phone.
