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 liked the character-defining drinks, it really does seem to fit them all so well: the lemon-honey bittersweet tea for James; the traditional English tea for Peter, the ever sweet and comforting chocolate for Remus, and as you and Remus put so well the strong, hot, and Black. for Sirius. Lovely.

Well, that's it for today, I've read all your drabbles, next I'll move onto the fics>.<. Sorry to clutter up your inbox.
