When Cecilia had seen the note on the notice board at the Med Center, where one of the Healers were asking the Herbologists if they would bring back some of the decorative flowers they found, she had found it to be a brilliant idea, and had done so as a present to a couple she didn’t know. Well, she knew of the groom, in that she had heard his name on the Wireless back in the old world.

It wasn’t until a few days ago, however, that she had learned that Jamie knew the groom, or at least claimed to know him, from the time he was spending at The Ark after school, when he had asked her if he could go to this wedding and if he could, what would he be wearing? So, the two of them had agreed to go, and Jamie had approved of the suit Cecilia had found for him, while she herself had settled on an ankle-length blue dress, that seemed stylish enough without being too out of place for an outdoor event such as this.

They had arrived at the reception area before the couple, and had both taken part in the cheering and congratulating of them… and then she had lost sight of Jamie. She wasn’t worried, though. Everybody seemed to be in great spirit and she knew that he would find a way to contact her if he needed her for any reason.

So Cecilia had accepted the request for a dance, and had had fun meeting people she had never seen or heard of before. After a particularly lively dance, she had opted out, and found a seat by one of the tables where she could watch the people while enjoying her glass of chilled white wine.

He'd been on his way to the pub when he'd inadvertently crossed paths with the wedding procession on the way to the chapel. Sirius couldn't say what possessed him to follow, or to stand in the back of the building as the ceremony took place. He could explain how he'd gotten from there to the reception - several of the Bulgarians had insisted that he join them.

Sirius was nursing a scotch when he turned and saw Cecilia in that dress, dancing with another man. He felt his mouth go dry and took another drink. Another fellow beside him struck up a conversation that he tried to follow along with even as he watched Cecilia. When she finally left the dance floor, Sirius had finished his drink and gotten a refill, excusing himself before crossing the floor. Coming to a stop beside her table, Sirius asked. "May I join you?"

Cecilia’s attention had been captured by a little girl, a toddler, wearing a red dress with a bow on the back. The bow, apparently, was of high interest to the girl, but she was having a difficult time seeing it and as a result ended up spinning in a slow circle while attempting to look over her shoulder or under her arm, until someone – the mother, by the looks of it – charmed a second bow to the front of the dress.

With a chuckle, Cecilia looked away, her eyes landing on Sirius as he came to stand by the table she was sitting at. Try as she might, she couldn’t completely ignore that pleasant feeling in the pit of her stomach when she saw him, and her smile turned warm. “Of course,” she said softly when he asked if he could join her, shifting so she could sit facing him once he sat down. “Had I known you’d be here, I would have come found you earlier,” she told him, then gestured to the happy couple that was sitting by one of the other tables. “You know them?”
