Location: Tonks' house then flying.
With little or no contact with Dora for the past few days, Sirius decided it was time to see what she'd done to his old house. Seeing Andromeda and Teddy had only exaggerated to him the importance of keeping track of his family. The past had been so hectic, so miserable he'd lost all grip on how the world outside was coping. Coming from so much paranoia and death, it was difficult to adjust to a world where there other activities were an option.
With no inclination to land a flying motorbike in the middle of muggle London again for at least another couple of weeks, Sirius had taken the safe option and driven along the roads. Once he arrived at the house he secured his bike close to the building and let himself in. Sirius wasn't usually given to walking into other people's houses uninvited. It was just more fun this way.
With a flick his wand gave a steady, thin stream of light. Sirius made his way up the stairs, missing out the top step which had always creaked. The room was in darkness, and from the doorway Sirius lifted his wand. His hand twitched slightly as he held it aloft - Dora's hair was rapidly changing both length and colour, presumably as she dreamed. As used as he was to her changing, it was strange to see it happening at rapid pace.
Sirius flicked out his wand and closed his eyes in the darkness. His skin felt stretchy and prickly, a brief sensation of falling and then - he padded forward, footsteps sounding different now. He rounded the bed and found what he was looking for, a pale hand dangling from beneath the bed covers. He gave it an excessively wet lick.
