Random Thoughts: These are just like my little bit of inspiration or humor that I put at the beginning of every chapter I write. I don't know why, I just like to do it. They have nothing to do with the actual chapter.
This chapter's random thought: "It isn't easy to keep your mouth and your mind open at the same time."
Chapter 2 - Night Prowler
"Did you notice we have new neighbors?" asked Jordan, sitting at the kitchen table, sipping her drink and gesturing to the house next door.
"Neighbor. There's only one. He thinks no one noticed him move in at 6 am last weekend," replied Raven, throwing her long black hair over her shoulder and turning her gaze toward the house next to hers.
"He hasn't shown his face for a week?" Jordan asked, disbelievingly. "You haven't seen him at all?"
"I saw him the night he got here, but other than that, no. I see his dog often enough though."
"His dog?"
"He comes out at night, watches me swim. It gave me a scare the first night. I thought Rio was out," she said, gesturing to her own black gordon setter, Rio, who was curled up on the rug near the fireplace.
"Well," Jordan looked at her watch, "I'll let you do your thing; it's almost nine. I don't want to be around if you forget to take your medicine!"
"Don't worry, I'd give you a head start." Raven smiled and said goodbye to Jordan. She watched her return to her own house.
Rio suddenly raised himself off the rug and growled at her, teeth bared. "Relax," she said to him as she quickly crossed to the kitchen and opened the fridge. She took long swig from a bottle and placed it back on the shelf, closing the door. Rio bounded up to her, sniffed her hand and then licked it. "You're forgiven."
She felt a rush of energy and went into her bedroom to change into her bathing suit.

Sirius was waiting for her to come down to the beach to swim. 'Where is she?' he thought. 'It's past nine o'clock.' He started thinking about what Remus had told him. 'Stay out of sight. Don't go chasing after some girl, I don't care if she's the most beautiful girl in the entire world.' There she was. 'Damn close,' he thought, looking at her. He watched as Raven walked slowly down through the sand, carrying her towel and one of those muggle boxes that produced music. He regretted having to change into his animagus form as she neared him.
Raven spread out her towel and set the CD player on top of it. She turned on the music and waded into the water. Even as a dog, Sirius could barely keep his eyes on her in the water. He decided tonight was the night he would talk to her. He'd waited long enough. The people here, from what he could tell, were sort of out of touch with the real world anyway. Besides, she was a muggle, and muggles wouldn't know as much about his world. Remus' voice came back to him, but he pushed it out of his mind. 'I've been in Azkaban for twelve years,' he told the voice. 'Let me have a little female contact, and then I'll be good.' The big black dog trotted into the water quietly and dove under. Emerging as a man, Sirius started to make his way over to Raven. He lifted his shirt quietly over his head and left it behind him.
She was singing along with the music while doing some sort of movements he didn't recognize. He stopped for a second to listen to the lyrics of the song.
"I'm over it. You see, I'm falling in the vast abyss. Clouded by memories of the past. At last, I see. I hear it fading. I can't speak it, or else you will dig my grave. You feel them finding, always whining. Take my hand now be alive. You see, I cannot be forsaken, because I'm not the only one. We walk amongst you feeding, raping. Must we hide from everyone?"
Raven suddenly froze as she saw the man standing before her.
Sirius was lost in the lyrics. 'What the heck does that mean?' he thought to himself.
She smiled slightly at his dazed look and then cleared her throat.
Shaking his head to clear his mind, he turned to look at her and smiled. "Hi. Nice night for a swim?"
"I thought so," she replied, looking him over. "So this is my new neighbor? And I half expected you to be terribly deformed or something even worse."
Sirius laughed. "Because I haven't come over to say hello?"
"No, you just have your dog watch my every move."
"Oh yeah, sorry about that. Padfoot's terribly nosy. I'm...Remus." 'Shit, did that sound fake?' he thought.
'Does it normally take someone that long to remember their name?' she thought to herself. She pushed it to the back of her mind. 'What does it matter? He's cute.' She held out her hand to shake his. "Raven. Nice to finally meet you."
"Likewise. I wasn't trying to ignore you or anything. I was just...getting myself settled in, ya know?"
"Actually, I don't think I remember. I've lived here for a pretty long time."
"Really? I thought this was mainly a tourist attraction.'
"Or a hideout," added Raven. "Lots of people come to just get away from things."
'Which would be why I'm here,' thought Sirius as she continued.
"Jordan and I are the only ones I know of that live here permanently. Jordan's the house on the other side of mine."
Sirius nodded his head. "Is she a night owl, too?"
"Jordan? No, she thinks I'm crazy for coming out here every night to practice my moves."
"And what moves would those be?"
"San Chin Ryu. It's kinda like karate. I learned it when I was little and now it's really relaxing," she explained.
"Do you hafta do it in the water?"
"Oh, no, it's just that you get better resistance in the water so you get used to it, and it makes you move a lot faster when you don't have the water against you in a real situation."
"And just when would you be in a real situation like that around here?"
"I'm not saying that. It's just something I like to do," answered Raven. "So why did you come here?"
Sirius shrugged his shoulders. "Just felt like a vacation."
Raven rose her eyebrows at him. "Right...Well, I'm tired." She started to wade in and then turned back to him. "Will I see you around, or is this your one hour outside for the month of June?"
Sirius chuckled. "Sadly, it is. But my hour's not up yet," he hinted.
"Why do I feel like you just invited yourself in?" she asked as she picked up her CD player and threw her towel around her.
Sirius gave her a sexy smile. "Because I just did."
Raven jerked her head towards her house and Sirius followed her up the beach. She opened the screen door for him, but then threw her arm across his chest to hold him back. "Let me get you a towel first."
He stood there shivering while she disappeared down the hall and came back with a towel. He draped it around himself and stepped in the house, surveying it with his eyes. "This is nice," he said as his eyes ran across a large muggle television, a coffe table, and a couch. They drifted further, down a hallway, probably leading to her bedroom and bathroom on the left. On the right side was the kitchen and dining room, with a door leading out of the kitchen and into her backyard.
"Thanks." She shivered as she saw him in proper lighting for the first time. 'He's quite good looking. The only thing he's missing is maybe a few pounds.' She fought the blush that was threatening to give her away as her eyes met his. He was watching her, too.
He smiled slightly and turned to look at some muggle movies that were neatly arranged on a shelf next to the TV.
"Well...I'm hungry. How about you go put on some dry clothes, and I'll make some food, and then we can watch a movie?"
Although Remus was telling him not to, Sirius nodded his head and smiled.
"What do you want then?"
"You have no idea how long I've been craving burritos."
