David was once again in the back corner of the Leaky Cauldron, late at night having a drink with Seamus Finnigan. They'd had several conversations since that first interrogation. It may not have been an interrogation, but at the time it felt like it to David. The conversations that followed were more of a friendly nature and David had come to like the young man's company. Despite the fact that David knew full well that Seamus was an auror, the other man never seemed to pry too much. He still hadn't told Seamus his true identity - who he was, what he had done for a living or what he left behind. But David was quite sure Finnigan had gleaned much from his constant questioning about Hannah.
Perhaps David was getting soft in his old age. Perhaps it was the fact that every day that passed without telling Hannah who he truly was, he felt her slipping away even further. Perhaps though... that night, it was the drink. He'd had a couple more than he usually did and it made his thoughts grow dark and lonely. Sometimes they even strayed back in time, making his sinuses sting until the burn of scotch chased it away.
It was when there was a lull in their current conversation that David stared down into his glass and spoke lowly across the table. "I need to show you something." Not knowing how he remembered such a thing but he looked up to meet Seamus dead in the eyes. "Do you have access to a pensieve?" He gulped uncomfortably then, unsure of his decision and how to go forward.
