For Daily Prongsfoot Prompts - June 2026 - day 9 - Enough
James' frown deepens as he watches the pile of toy packages continue to grow in the trolley. When a large baby car follows suit, he can't take it anymore:
- What do you mean, enough?! - Sirius raises his eyebrow and throws a dinosaur book with soundtracks into the basket.
James gestures toward the overflowing trolley, filled with the most expensive and interesting toys, which Sirius has been meticulously choosing for the past hour, ready to give to Harry tomorrow for his birthday.
- You'll spoil Harry if you bring him so many toys.
Sirius grinned and pushed the trolley forward, scanning the shelves again.
- You definitely knew who you were making his godfather and who you were marrying. I'm gonna spoil Harry.
James felt like this was more like Sirius trying to get broke. Something to do with how he burned all the portraits of his relatives, gave Walburga's dresses and furs to the commission shops, and sold family's jewelry to pawnshops, where he was almost mistaken for a thief with his leather jacket, shaggy curls, and the smell of alcohol.
Things are much better now, but Sirius is still looking for buyers for the house on Grimmauld Place and still prefers to live on the money he inherited from his uncle Alphard and earned as a curse breaker.
He donated most of his parents' inheritance to a grant for Muggle-born students of Hogwarts, asking that it be named the Black Grant. He only took the Black library for himself, thinking it might be useful.
He's the last Black of the main line, and it seems he wants to destroy his family's legacy.
- Admit it, you just want to spend your parents' entire inheritance on things they'd never approve of? - James asks cautiously, placing his hand on his husband's waist.
Sirius barks a laugh that fills the entire store.
- On gifts for my blood traitor husband's Muggle-born son?
James smiles softly at him.
- Lily won't be happy either. You know about Dudley.
- Lily knew what she was getting into when she told me after your divorce not to hesitate too long, 'cause you'd quickly be snatched up by some red-headed muscleman from the professional Quidditch league.
- Nobody would snatch me up.
Sirius gives him an appraising look, lingering on James' hips.
- I think they would, - he snorts, a possessive glint sparkles in his steel-gray eyes. - Let's go.
- To the checkout, I hope?
- Don't get too excited, we'll go buy you some sexy lingerie later. My dear maman certainly wouldn't approve of that.
- Didn't you buy me enough for our honeymoon?
- It's never enough when it comes to gifts for Harry and something pretty for your amazing ass, Prongsie, - Sirius winks at him.
