And then later, outside of court, he can’t shut up about how Phoenix is ​​his best friend, his hero, his savior, the light of his life, the greatest lawyer in the world,godwhatawonderfulmanheydoyouknowthathesavedme11yearsagohemademeabetterpersonIwillneverbeabletopayhimbackforwhathedidtomewanttohearabouthimagainilovehimsomuch

Well okay, he would do anything for reg including wearing ridiculous outfit. But somehow the jester involved with politic intrigues (which didnt listed on the job description) and regulus got blamed on assasination attempt for Queen!Dorcas. Barty know his friend didnt do anything and with strange but hot Minister!Evan, Barty would solve this case!

Stelle sips her immortal’s delight. The sweet taste perfectly compliments the scene before her.

Mr. Xiyan is telling a story. It’s a story of the High Cloud Quintet, a story of heroics and battles, of good triumphing over evil. Stelle questions Mr. Xiyan’s skills as a storyteller but this story, this story he has refined. His audience is utterly captivated by his tale.

She isn’t paying attention to the story though. Stelle has heard it before. No, no. She’s more interested in her tablemates.

Sushang’s eyes are practically sparkling. She’s the one who invited Stelle out for tea and a story. Her drink has melted, the condensation pooling on the table, completely ignored. Sushang hangs on every word Mr. Xiyan regales them.

Apparently, the High Cloud Quintet are Sushang’s favorite heroes of the Xianzhou Alliance. She has mentioned in passing before that she adores Mr. Xiyan’s stories about them. It’s really not a surprise to Stelle that this is the reason why Sushang has extended an invitation today to the Sleepless Earl.

Stelle hardly minds. After all, she enjoys being able to spend time with her friends.

Sushang’s reaction, however, is not what is entertaining her.

Stelle’s eyes drift over her last tablemate.

Dan Heng sits with his head buried in his hands, radiating that he would desperately like to be anywhere but here.

Stelle smiles and she leans over to whisper in Dan Heng’s ear.

“So when are you going to tell her?”

“Never,” Dan Heng hisses back.

the first thing i’ve noticed is the way she starts the letter: “dear padfoot”. we can likely assume that their relationship hadn’t been great from the start — lily considered james to be conceited, arrogant and full of himself, and, by extension, we can safely assume she believed of sirius to be the same.

however, the usage of “padfoot” and “wormy” indicates either that their relationship was close enough for her to call them that, or that they, the marauders, called each other that in her vicinity. what is to be noted is that no one, besides themselves and lily, refer to them as such; even when, in PoA, the conversation about sirius takes place, all of the parties (rosmerta, mcgonagall, flitwick, hagrid and fudge) refer to them by their names, although rosmerta mentioned the marauders frequenting the three broomsticks quite often.

lily proceeds to thank sirius for the birthday gift he sent to harry — his favourite, which means, again, that the potters and sirius remained close enough, even while in hiding, in order for sirius to be able to know, approximately, what he could buy harry. a flying, toy broomstick might not have been the most appropriate gift for such a young child, but harry was enjoying himself and, to lily, it seems like that did not matter.

lily also does not seem to mind that he (harry) “smashed a horrible vase Petunia sent me for Christmas”. despite the fact that the two sisters had not been getting along for a while, the fact that petunia had taken the time to send a present (although not a great one) is certainly interesting, too.

she also seems to be a little upset, but understanding, of the fact that sirius could not attend harry’s birthday tea. she is characterised as observant, as james tries not to show his frustration to being locked up in his own home, but lily notices, too, and tries to offer a solution (sirius coming by to visiti), as james cannot leave the house himself.

the mention of peter is also intriguing. lily might have been right about his sentiments towards the death of the mckinnons (which upset lily, too, so we can assume that even if, maybe, they hadn’t been friends, they had been on quite good terms).

she also mentiones bathilda bagshot, to whom she has taken a liking, calling her a “fascinating old thing with the most amazing stories about dumbledore”, however she quickly dismissed, in her opinion, the possibility, proposed by the older woman, that dumbledore and grindelwald had ever been friends.
