Dear Dad,
Dudley and I can come on Sunday. Who's the guest?
-Harry
Dear Harry,
Can't tell you who the guest is right now, but it will all be explained on Sunday. Have a nice week and see you soon.
-Dad
Dear Megan,
I really enjoyed the dinner we had last week. Would you fancy another? I know a nice restaurant we could go to.
Hope to hear back soon,
Sirius
Dear Sirius,
I'd love to. Pick me up at 8. My house.
Can't wait to see you,
Meg
October 6th- Saturday- Hogsmeade
"So, it's alive?" Dudley asked pointing to a chocolate frog.
"No!" Cho laughed. "They are enchanted to do that. Once you bite them, they stop moving."
The pair walked around Honeyduke's for a little longer before leaving to go to the Three Broomsticks. They sat down and ordered hot butterbeer to warm up their hands which were cold from the fall weather. From a few tables away, Harry and Ginny were watching while casually drinking pumpkin juice.
"Your cousin is dating that crybaby?" Ginny asked.
"She's better now. It's been a year since I dated her so I'm sure she's changed." Harry said reasonably.
"Does he know you dated her?"
"I doubt it. I never told him anything about my experience at Hogwarts."
"You're going to have to tell your family at some point, Harry. I mean they'll find out some way. I mean how is Sirius going to explain his death without revealing the fact that you still have scars from the blood quill, led Umbridge to the centaurs, flew thestrals to the Ministry, almost got killed and found out about the prophecy. Not to mention fought Voldemort and Bellatrix LeStrange." Ginny said.
Harry sighed. "I know and I will tell them. I just don't know if I want them to know yet."
"They're your parents Harry! They deserve to know."
"The less they know the better."
"Why Harry? Don't push them away."
Harry stayed silent and took a sip of pumpkin juice. Ginny sighed and rolled her eyes but changed the topic anyway.
October 6th- Saturday- Megan's house
Meg looked at herself in the mirror.
She was wearing a cozy white sweater that hung off her shoulder along with torn jeans and brown knee high boots. Her hair was braided into a crown around her head and her lips covered in burgundy lipstick. Her eye makeup was minimal although she still wore her signature cat eye and mascara.
The doorbell rang and Meg grabbed her crossbody purse and ran to the door.
Sirius was waiting outside with his hands stuffed in the pockets of his faded black jeans. His leather jacket crinkled as he held out his hand to her.
Meg smiled and placed her hand in his. Sirius gracefully lifted it to his lips and gave it a soft kiss.
"Mademoiselle." He greeted.
"Hello, Sirius." Meg laughed.
"Shall we?" Sirius asked gesturing to a motorcycle.
The pair made their way to the black motorcycle. Megan hopped onto the back and waited as Sirius got on in front of her. He cast a disillusion charm.
"Why'd you do that?" Megan asked.
"You'll see. Now, hang on tight."
They sped through traffic and then, suddenly, Sirius pulled up and the motorcycle rose into the air. Megan squeaked and tightened her grip around Sirius' stomach. Sirius laughed and did a small drop just to scare her. As the time went on, Meg relaxed and leaned herself against Sirius' back. They soared over the clouds and looked down at the city beneath them. They didn't say anything instead they took pleasure in each other's company and enjoyed the scenery.
After an hour of riding through the clouds, Sirius began the descent. They landed in a small town illuminated by a large building at the end of the street. The source of the light was a glowing sign that read 'The Golden Goblet'. The moon shone down on Sirius and Megan as they walked hand in hand down the road towards the restaurant. Fairy lights were strung on the street lights leading to the building. Megan gasped as the sign came into view.
"You brought me to The Golden Goblet?" She asked.
Sirius gave a small nod.
"But it's the most expensive restaurant in all of Britain! The Minister of Magic sometimes dines here! How in the world did you afford it?" Meg exclaimed.
"I'm a Black," Sirius said simply.
Megan just walked awestruck towards the restaurant.
As soon as they walked in, Megan could tell why this place was so expensive. It was two floors of exquisite dining. The family that owned the restaurant was made up of both wizard and muggle people so they wanted to make it assessable for everyone while keeping the magic secret safe. They finally decided on setting a dress code for wizards and having a bit of separation between the two groups so the muggles couldn't overhear wizard conversations. The first floor was mostly muggles. The second floor was strictly for wizards. To get in, you had to have at least one witch or wizard with you and have them present their wand. The entire thing was painted ivory with gold accents and trim. A man dressed in a suit greeted them at the door.
"Reservation?" He asked snottily eyeing Sirius' jacket and choice of a vehicle which was parked outside.
"I believe it's under Black," Sirius said smoothly showing his wand just a tad from inside his jacket.
The servers eyes widened.
"Of course! I'm so sorry Mr. Black. Will you follow me, please? We have you seated on the second floor." The man said suddenly acting much more friendly.
They followed the man upstairs to a red curtain which concealed the wizard tables. The man pulled open the curtain and stepped to the side to allow Sirius and Meg through. He closed the curtain and led them to a secluded table for two right next to a large window. They sat down and Sirius took off his leather jacket revealing a Weird Sisters tee-shirt which looked very out of place in the fancy restaurant. Sirius smiled when he saw her looking at his shirt.
"Do you listen to them?" Sirius asked referring to his shirt.
"I did when I was small but they aren't very popular in America," Meg said.
"Oh," Sirius said confused.
Megan smiled. "I was born in Scotland but my family moved to America when I was 10. I only recently moved back..." She trailed off.
"Why'd you come back?" Sirius asked.
"I needed a change," Megan said with a tone of finality.
Sirius looked at her and sensed that something was off but changed the subject anyway. After all, it was only their second date.
They ordered a plate of cheese and bread while waiting for their main meals. Megan had ordered a plate of beef risotto and side of salad while Sirius had ordered breaded pork chops with a side of soup. A server brought out their drinks in a golden goblet. Sirius had gotten the specialty drink of the night and Meg had gotten the house red wine. They chatted and ate the cheese occasionally taking sips of their drinks. Their main course finally arrived and they dug in hungrily. They ordered lemon sorbet for dessert before arguing over who would cover the bill. Sirius won telling Meg that "A gentleman always pays."
They walked outside and got back onto the motorcycle before taking off into the now pitch black sky. They rode to Megan's house in silence with Sirius glancing back at Meg at times. They finally got to Meg's house where they both stayed on the motorcycle for a while. They didn't talk or move. They just sat. Eventually, Sirius inhaled loudly and got off. He offered his hand to Meg and helped her off of the bike. She smiled and swung her legs over to hop off. Sirius walked her to the door and was about to turn around when Meg called his name.
"Do you want to come in for a bit? You must be thirsty." Meg said holding the door open.
"Sure," Sirius says smiling and walking into the house.
It was a small townhouse with 2 floors. From the entryway, Sirius could see the kitchen and living room along with the stairs to go to the next floor.
"I know it's not much-"
"It's great," Sirius said looking around.
It was true. This little house had a cozy feeling that warmed up your insides. They sat together on a small couch and watched tv while Sirius drank his glass of water and after that, they said goodbye with Meg planting a kiss on Sirius' lips.
A/N- Has anyone ever read a series of books, only to be left on a cliffhanger and find out that the next book won't be released for a year? Because that just happened to me and I'm freaking out because I NEED to read it but it's going to be a while until its even available for pre-order. Don't worry because I won't let that happen to you with this fan fiction. I already have ideas forming about sequels and trilogies for this book so expect much more. I plan to make this a three book series called The Mysteries Series. I hope you guys will stick around and keep reading my writing because it makes me very happy when you do.
