Hey, it’s us.
Happy 15 years to James from Rho.
A seer is born in a catholic parish on an island in the North Irish sea and the marauders get their tea leaves read.
James and Rho talk about art shows, world building, red flags in relationships, and c*ck and ball torture. You know, the usual nonsense.
James fumbles through an ode to Rho for their 11 year anniversary as ducks and dogs make a ruckus in the background.
Sirius Orion Black leaves Grimmauld Place. There's graffiti, Jack and Cricket, learning to jump turnstiles and finding his way to a poplar lined avenue with a yellow house and a red mailbox. We discuss all of these things, but we completely forgot to mention moaning Myrtle, who's re-introduced to Hogwarts in the beginning of this chapter. Whoops.
Sirius Black is confronted with a whole manner of things, including his second invitation to Ishtar, whom Remus names Freya. Rho and James have their usual chat, and there's a lot of peeping in the background because we got ducklings!
Remus forgets he’s a werewolf and then gets whomped by the willow. Rho and James get wildly off topic and discuss art, the creative process, and the statistical safety of aircrafts.
Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew make enemies of cats. Sirius and Lily are at odds, and Lily suffers consequences. Rho and James talk about scenes Rho almost wrote into the chapter, fandom, cats and getting old.
Remus has a gay panic and Sirius is a good friend. Rho and James talk about sex ed and breaking through writer's block.
Sirius Black retakes the Yuletide. Remus stays mad about it. Rho and James talk about the last six weeks, including Rho nearly dying and James getting back on SSRIs.
Sirius Black turns fourteen, the boys go for a midnight stroll to find rare algae, and Voldemort asks Dumbledore for a job. Rho and James talk about survival strategies, how circumstances shape our views, and, then, somehow, syphilis.
Sirius summers in Wales. Turner, Shunpike and Dowd get up to no good, and there's dragons in Snowdonia National Park. Rho and James talk about our hilarious dogs, living in the wilderness and the locality of magic.
