Remus sets the table for them, and over pancakes they discuss the to-do list for tonight's party. Sirius takes to delegating tasks, assigning Luna and Draco to grocery duty, and laying out the details of how to make the house and backyard party-ready for himself, Harry and Remus. After breakfast, they scatter, each flocking to their assigned missions. Harry ventures out to the yard with Sirius, while Remus busies himself with readying the kitchen to transform into a makeshift bar. They stock up the fire pit with wood, and drag away the wooden bench logs to free up space around it. Harry spends some time fussing over the right arrangement of the bluetooth speakers, and laughs when Sirius comes down the steps carrying a dozen tiki-torches. Together, they set up the torches around the perimeter of the lawn, which mostly consists of Sirius violently trying to spear the torches into the ground without digging a hole, while Harry searches "tiki torch fire safety measures" on his phone. After that, Harry climbs into their oak tree, catching strings of fairy-lights and looping them around the branches, while Sirius runs back and forth to string them up between the tree and the porch awning. When the yard is declared by Sirius as party-ready, they head back inside to find Remus, Luna and Draco stocking up the fridge and setting up the bar with cups, mixers and liquors. ("I told her no Schnapps, Harry, or we would all be implicated. I had to pry it out of her hands.") When they finally finish up the preparations, they drop themselves outside on the grass, each rewarded with a cold beer. Harry splays himself out like a starfish, squinting up into the sun when Draco leans over him.
