SAGE & LILY

lily
so. er. i have something to tell you

sage
i swear to merlin, if you've gotten yourself knocked up again i'll lose it

lily
well, this is awkward
surprise!
it's a girl this time!

sage
stop
you've got to be joking
a GIRL
oh my god i'm going to spoil this little girl so badly
you better name her sage.

lily
i'm not naming my daughter sage.
her MIDDLE name will be sage
i'm thinking charlotte sage?

sage
fuck you that's so sweet

lily
are you crying?

sage
of course not
what a horrible accusation

lily
do you want to talk about something else?

sage
yes.

lily
alright
so
birthday plans.

sage
your birthday isn't for another five months?

lily
YOUR birthday.

sage
you might be one of my dearest friends but i'll block you right now.

lily
i'm not even talking about a party
just you, me, and our boys
that's it
harry can come if he promises to be good

sage
your ONE YEAR OLD child is going trick or treating.
dressed as a golden snitch.
no exceptions.

SECRET KEEPING!
james, lily, sirius

sirius
i honestly don't feel comfortable being your secret keeper anymore
i'm too close to the two of you, and the DE know it

james
mate, there's no one else i trust to keep us sage
*safe

sirius
that's actually who i'd suggest as a replacement secret keeper
sage.
as far as anyone outside of the order is concerned, she hasn't spoken to either of you for years
she's the most secretive person i've ever met

lily
i'm not going to put her in danger like that
she's already in harm's way enough by working as a double agent. and she's the godmother of my baby.

sirius
and i'm the godfather of your kid.
who else could do it?

james
as much as i love remus, he's not the most reliable
he goes awol for days at a time, not even around the full moon
but peter... peter's been to every order meeting, every birthday party, every time we need him, he's there.
so this is my official nomination for petey boy for secret keeper

sirius
this isn't for homecoming queen, prongs. this is serious

james
no, you're sirius

lily
shut up
i'm fine with peter.
anyone but sage

james
if lily's alright with it, then so am i.
we'll have him over for dinner tonight to tell him

good morning my arm hurts
