What: Peter checks on Sirius

Peter had kept an eye on Sirius for most of yesterday. He didn't want to approach it immediately, because he'd know that Remus had said something. Sirius was many things, but stupid wasn't one of them. Still he watched as much as he could considering that they didn't even work together. Today, though, he decided to talk to him.

He was accidentally on purpose on the seventh floor. That wasn't strange since technically he still had an office here, one that maybe could be changed from agriculture to DoM. That was a lot cooler anyway. It was also big enough that it would accommodate a few people. So he worked a little in the office, mostly making desks and chairs float so he could decide how he liked it best, before walking down to where Sirius worked with Roxanne. He nodded at her with a smile, before turning to Sirius.

"Hey, it's end of the day. I thought we could go for a walk before dinner. It's a bit on the chilly side, but the sun is out," he said, lingering at the entrance, mostly because he hoped that he could get Sirius out before everyone left their offices. It wasn't that there would be a rush, but both Remus and Regulus worked on this floor and it might be a good idea to avoid the two love birds.

"Once again, Sirius, you went to a bloody bar to pick up random people whose names you didn't know. That's not really conducive to real relationships or even repeats." Peter shook his head. "You don't see how it's all connected, do you? I swear you're worse than me."

Peter smiled. "Just let people in, Sirius and you'll be surprised how different things can be."

He nodded. "We were, just not as much, and with time, we were there a little less, and that's okay, because that's not what drove us apart. It was the jealousy, the mistrust, the secrets. What I'm badly trying to say is that we don't have to be in each other's pockets to still be friends. WE just have to learn to talk like we're doing now, and even if we don't spend every minute together, we're still friends."

Sirius just laughed. Because yeah, when you put it that way... He didn't really have anything else to say. He'd said more than he meant to already. But still, he'd give Kirley a chance. A real chance. He'd let him in. Maybe Peter was right, maybe this time it would be different.

"None of us are actually any good at talking, are we," he sighed. He knew things were still complicated with Peter and James and Lily. Now things were complicated with Remus. Sirius hated it when things changed. But it was inevitable. He'd just have to take it day by day.

"At least we're trying, right?"

"No." He leaned back against the wall, looking ahead. "We were all broken long before the war,I think. Except for James. Maybe that's why we all gravitated toward him at the start. He was the normal one. He was rich, good family, nothing damaging in his life. We- Remus was turned as a child. My dad died and his family never wanted to see me again, Mum working so much that I barely saw her, no money to survive, let alone presents. You and your family. How do you expect any of us to be good at this."

He nodded. "At least we're trying, and we'll keep trying, because this time, we'll get it right. So now, why don't we have dinner together? The two bachelors left. We can paint the town red, and by that, I mean let's spend the evening creating more of the map."
