Since his birthday was only four days after Halloween, James and Lily were probably planning to invite Sirius over to celebrate because they were protected by the charm and of course they’d be willing to let him in on the secret and he probably thought he was going to spend his 22nd birthday with three people he loved more than anything in the world
it’s so much worse than that because the potters had no invisibility cloak, so unless they conjured food straight from sirius’s flat, they were dependent on him and peter to bring them everything.
Lily: here’s my grocery list.
Sirius: eggs, flour, sugar, some candles, milk
Sirius: this looks suspiciously like birthday cake ingredients
Lily: i don’t know what you’re talking about
Sirius: can you make chocolate instead?
Lily: fine
But the presents though.
Sirius: what about my present
Lily: our presence is your present.
Sirius: bullshit.
Lily: You can swear in front of Harry and I won’t let James scold you for it.
Sirius: EXCELLENT
