character: sirius black, unused: teddy lupin

RP: Sirius and Teddy
Who: Sirius and Teddy
When: after dinner, March 16th
Where: Teddys Room
What: Teddy isn't at dinner

It had been, for lack of a better word, an emotionally exhausting day. His talk with Peter had gone better than he'd expected, but it still left him raw and with a lot to think about. The problem was that the things he was thinking about involved Jamea and Remus, and that meant he couldn't go talk to them about it. Well, he would eventually, but he needed to work some things out on his own first. So he'd put on his trademark smile at dinner and made sure to keep all conversation superficial.

One thing he did notice, however, is that Teddy wasn't there. Sirius had been making a point of dragging him over to eat with him and James and Remus, but there was no curly headed Hufflepuff to drag. He hadn't been at breakfast either, or lunch. One meal in his rooms wasnt that weird, but three? He didn't know Teddy as well as his other friends, but he did know he usually liked company.

So when dinner was done he set out to find his wayward Lupin. He was probably fine, but what if he wasnt? And besides, Sirius could use a distraction from all the thinking he'd been doing.

He started at Teddys room, knocking lightly on the door.

"Teddy? Are you in there?"

The easiest way to describe Teddy was 'deflated.' After the night before, he just hadn't been able to keep everything bottled up anymore. As such, his ability had not been working. Straight, dark hair veiled his eyes and the dark circles he could keep away from his eyes were all the more visible. He'd been crying off and on, had been sick to his stomach at least once. Mostly, he had just been asleep. At one point, he was sure he'd heard knocking on his door but he had resolutely ignored it.

And then he had fallen asleep again, buried in his blankets as deeply as he could. The room was dark and his head hurt and everything smelled like saline from the time he'd just spent letting everything pour out of him.

Another knock.

As much as he wanted to ignore this one, he felt like doing that to Sirius was just cruel. Teddy knew enough wandless magic to open a door so he gestured and let it creak open. Then he rolled over and adjusted his blankets to make sure he was completely covered. "Need something?" he asked, despite being muffled by the duvet.

The room was dark, and Teddy was somewhere in the nest of blankets. Sirius shut the door carefully behind him, but didn't immediately go accost him like he'd planned to.

"Are you okay Teddy?" He walked closer, trying to find him buried somewhere in there. "You weren't at breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner. Are you sick? Can I get you something?" He saw what seemed to be a stray curl, and put a gentle hand where he figured the head must be.
