Caffeine of Choice

James and Peter were traditionalists. They liked their caffeine in the form of tea, thank you very much. Although James would occasionally add lemon and honey, Peter firmly preferred milk and sugar.

Sirius's new favourite was coffee. He said that tea was for society matrons, offered primarily so they could show off their family china and monogrammed silver. Coffee was for the young and rebellious, like the disillusioned American expatriates in a Muggle novel he'd read. (Remus suspected that Sirius simply enjoyed ordering it "strong, hot, and Black.")

Remus allowed his friends to argue while he savoured his hot chocolate.

I truly enjoyed all of this, but — predictably — the strong, hot, and Black particularly caught my attention ;-) Not just because it's so funny, but also because it's such a Sirius thing to say, and such a Remus thing to notice. It's amazing, really, how you captured some of their characters in this single notion.

Lovely work, thank you for sharing!
