Harry had managed to catch a few hours of sleep just before sunrise, but he woke as soon as the light leaked through the window. He hadn't remembered, distracted as he was, to pull the drapes shut when he'd fallen into bed last night. He always kept the drapes open so that as much sun as possible could get into the dark rooms of Grimmauld Place. There was little else he could do to dispel the gloom.
He was apprehensive to meet Sirius again in the morning, half-convinced he would be gone and faded like most dreams were by dawn. But the man was still there, and Harry set himself to the familiar routine of making breakfast and early-morning small talk to keep his mind off the strangeness of the situation.
The letters he'd composed the night before lay on the table, and he retrieved them for Orion, who often took roost in Grimmauld's upper rooms. Harry could not understand why the strange bird preferred this place, though he had a sneaking suspicion he simply didn't like Ron. Well, birds were finicky creatures; Hedwig had proven that much.
Once they were sent, he met Sirius in the kitchen again. "Probably better if I meet them in the front and explain. You know, rather than give them a coronary like you nearly gave me." He offered him the same wan, uncertain smile he had given him the night before.
ooc: anyone can post next, doesn't have to be Sirius. Harry will just zoom over to the front room ;P
