Runaway Dogstar
6. Leaving beloved to find blood relative
Sirius spend all the summer with Gemma, his friend and first love. It was time of happines to both of them. They could just be together and seek something from each other to fill their lonelines. But Sirius could even then be fully happy. He knew their haven, filled with love and sunshine would not last long. He had to find Andromeda, and when Andromeda was found he had to leave Gemma. His Gem.
When first leaves of autumn fell, Violet came to Sirius, who sat in the garden leaning against the wall of the house eating an apple. Gemma slept on grass under one of the oaks. When she was sure that Gemma couldn't hear her Violet said quietly to Sirius: "Come in, we have things to talk about privatly."
Sirius looked at the old woman questioningly, but followed her to the kitchen. They sat down and for a moment there were nothing but silence between them. Then Voilet took a little piece of paper from her pocket and gave it over the table to Sirius.
"We found an address that belongs to your cousin, Andromeda Tonks. She is married to a man called Ted Tonks, who also lives at same address with her." Violet drew deep breath and looked into Sirius's dark eyes with her ice-cold sapphire-eyes. "Your cousin has also a child, a daughter if I am right. So, my dear Dogstar, don't wait too much from them. And what becomes to you and Gemma, don't say goodbye to her. Just leave at night, so she can beliewe it all was just a long, long lovely dream." Then Violet rose up from her chair and hugged Sirius. "Go my son, go and be happy with her this one last day."
So, Sirius sped that last day with eternaly happy Gemma. But Sirius himself felt that he had betrayed her somehow. And when she fell asleep at last in the late evening, Sirius sneaked out the house carrying both, his broomstick and his owl-cage, where Euros sat. And again he rose into the nightsky to the stars.
The journey to Oxford, where his cousin Andromeda might be living, took Sirius some weeks. It was now a bit easier to move among the muggles and be somewhat unknown. After all, he wore muggle clothes and had chopped his hair a little shorter. And when he needed to sleep, Sirius could always turn into his dog-form and seek some safe place to sleep. And since Violet had given him some money for the journey, food was no problem. But still, he felt guilty for leaving Gemma.
In the 14th of August Sirius was finally infront of the door of his cousin Andromeda Tonk's home. It was a little wooden house, painted white, wich had two floors and orange tile roof. The house had also an adorable tiny garden.
Sirius knocked on the door little nervously. He waited a while and just when he was thinking, that no one would come to open the door, a young man with messy brown hair came to the door. He wore brown, little worn-out suit and white shirt. His red tie hung around his neck, untied. His socks were mismatching; one black, one green. He looked at Sirius in wonder for about ten minutes and then managed to say: "Look, we don't by anything."
"I'm not selling anything. I'm just looking for my cousin..." Sirius didn't have time to say anything about who his cousin was, when the door were slammed shut practically against his nose.
"What's going on Ted? Who was that?" asked a female voice inside the house.
"Oh, darling it was nothing. Some kid was just looking for his cousin." said a male voice, apparently it belonged to the man who had opened the door.
"But, Ted, don't you think we should let him in. Perhaps we know his cousin." the female voice said a bit of complain in her voice.
"Oh, ok. But I have to go now, I'm almost late from job." the man said and then added: "Have you seen my shoes?"
"Here they are, Ted. Go now, your bus will come in two minutes!"
"I love you!" the man said.
Just after that the door of the house was opened and the man, who wore brown suit and who's name apparently was Ted, ran outside, throught the garden and to the bus stop. He did not even notice Sirius, who had been sitting on the doorsteps the entire time.
But if Ted didn't notice him, someone else surely did.
"Good morning dear. Are you that boy, who was looking for his cousin?" asked a female voice gently behind Sirius who was still sitting on the doosteps.
Sirius, a little bit startlet, turned his head to the voice's direction and what he saw, was absolutely stunning female. The woman had ravenblack hair that fell over her shoulders like silk. Her skin was very pale, but not someone's who was sick or had spent too much time indoors. That palenes came to her as naturally. And her eyes, they were the one's that finally cauch Sirius's attention. The woman's eyes were darkpurple, shinining and sparkling with blue colour. And all thought she was dressed as if she had been an ordinary muggle woman, Sirius had no doubts about who she really was.
"Andromeda..." Sirius whispered brheatlesly.
