Fancy meeting me in my own shop? [ lily rolls her eyes good-naturedly, still working on that same potion as before without so much missing a beat. ] Did that Hangover potion take? You don't look as near-death as you did this morning. I'm sure Padfoot stealing the couch was a rude awakening.

[ lily's used to covering for her friends. easy peasy. now, for the introductions: ] And this would be one Sirius, one of my best friends. He had a little too much firewhiskey last night and had to sleep it off. [ a beat and she finally does pause in her work. ] Sirius, this is Dean. He's going to be helping me 'round the shop.
