Who: Sirius Black and Embry Greyback Where: Grimmauld Place When: Wednesday Summary: Cute couple times, and Sirius wants to talk about Zee. Rating: TBD Progress: Closed/Uncomplete
Unbeknownst to Embry, Sirius had told the others he couldn’t make it in that day. Sure his job wasn’t exactly a 9 to 5 one, but he told them that he was feeling unwell, and that he’d dose himself up on potions, and be around for the night shift, so to speak. That was generally where the snatchers were most successful anyway, so it was the most important for Sirius to be around for. But during the day? He had other things to be doing. Namely, later on he planned on seeing Zee to find out if she really was his daughter. Though everything pointed to it being true, the dates still didn’t match up for Embry, and because of that, Sirius hadn’t wanted to talk to her about the paternity potion he planned on taking. He didn’t want to put added stress on her or the baby, but he knew that since he was doing it today, she needed to know. And he’d be sure to spoil her before he told her anything.
Having got up even earlier than Embry to cook them breakfast, he served the bacon, egg and toast up on plates, putting a warming charm on them to keep them warm, because he knew once he went upstairs, there was a chance that well… they might not come down again for some time. He had sent Kreacher out on some errands, which he carried out begrudgingly, but all the same, it meant he would be out of the house until lunchtime at the latest. So long as he was back in time to keep an eye on Embry after he left for the evening, that was all he cared about. He couldn’t see Hermione’s point about house elves – she said they wanted respect, but if Kreacher was going to treat him like dirt? He’d do the same back to him. That was fair in his opinion. Once everything in the kitchen was set out, Sirius lazily let his mind slip to Padfoot, and after a second, the dog was there in his place. Carefully manoeuvring up the stairs, he pushed the bedroom door open with his nose to find Embry still asleep. Going over to her side of the bed, he pressed his wet nose against her cheek, nudging her slightly to wake her up. When she began stirring, he licked her hand once, then watched her, inwardly amused.
