Characters: Sirius Black, open
Setting: World's End Pub
Content: TBD
Status: Public : Complete



Sirius let himself into his house just after 5 pm, tired and with a head full of magical incantations from debriefing Kingsley. He took a long, hot shower and dressed as he normally did in jeans and a dark t-shirt, only running his fingers through his hair before locking up again. The walk to the World's End cleared some of the clustering enchantments from his head, the fresh air soothing and cooler as the sun began to set on the horizon.

He found a table near the windows and took a seat, content to wait until the barmaid came by to take his order.

He shifted a bit closer as a sudden flare-up of noise happened in the pub, which wasn't unusual. Sirius caught what Cecilia said, feeling a wave of relief that his little outburst hadn't closed her off again.

"Cecilia, you can tell me anything you want to tell me," Sirius stated firmly, giving her hand a squeeze just as his datapad starting beeping frantically. "Son of a... dammit," he growled, pulling the datapad out and glancing at it before sighing in frustration. "Look, I have to go. There's been an incident at the dock. But this isn't over, all right?"

He lifted her hand to his lips, pressing a quick kiss there, before standing, waiting just long enough for her nod of understanding before he disapparated.

Cecilia looked at Sirius, once again not saying anything while she tried to find the right words. She wanted to tell him everything, but didn’t know where to start or even to what end, other than to show him that she really didn’t have any secrets. She got as far as her lips parting, when his datapad started beeping, and it was with equal parts relief and regret that realised that anything she wanted to tell him would have to wait until later. “All right,” she assured him with a soft smile.

She swallowed down when he kissed her hand, holding his gaze for a moment before she nodded. She could do this, she understood that he had to go, even if she didn’t want him to.
