Evelyn was getting accustomed to her new job. It hadn't taken her long to figure out that the old man hired her mostly out of sympathy and that she wasn't really needed. Still, the little she did was done thoroughly. She refilled coffee cups constantly and the people who frequented the restaurant had never been so caffeinated. Plates were cleared the moment a patron set the silverware down and so on but still Evelyn found herself bored quite a few times.

She found herself examining the world outside of the window more often then not. Across the way was an auto shop and she would watch the men work or watch the cars pass by counting the different colors. A couple of days after Evelyn had begun working there, a boy about her age started to show up at the auto shop working on a motorcycle. The first thing Evelyn noticed was that he was unbelievably handsome, the second was that he was kind of odd. Evelyn was old enough to know that handsome boys, though nice to look at (and Evelyn did look often) were not usually worth the trouble. Good-looking boys were mostly arrogant and usually jerks and hardly ever wasted their time with girls like Evelyn. Probably because Evelyn had brains in her head.

Still, Evelyn liked to watch him. One afternoon he was working under the hot sun and feeling sweaty and overheated, he decided to take his shirt off. Evelyn happened to be looking at the time and was unknowingly overflowing the coffee cup she was filling.

"Young lady!" The middle-aged woman exclaimed at her.

Evelyn snapped to and looked embarrassed and began to clean up the mess. Her eyes darted out towards the shirtless boy again on their own accord and the woman followed her gaze. She smiled slightly and told Evelyn she understood. Evelyn was mortified that she was behaving this way and vowed to not stare at the boy anymore.

Evelyn made good on her vow for about a day. Her boss had asked her to come in the next night. Evelyn had been hesitant, she hadn't been out at night since the almost-robbed fiasco. She wasn't exactly scared, more cautious then anything but she agreed and told her parents that she was going to a friend's house. She had about ten minutes more to her shift when the young man from across the way came in and sat down by the window.

Sirius had been working on his motorcycle for about a week. Although he liked working on it he was beginning to grow a bit restless. If only he could use magic to speed up the process. But then he wouldn't have an excuse to be out of the house for long periods of time and wasn't that partly the point?

Sirius had heard the other men talk about the crazy old man who lived in the flat above the garage. He didn't pay much attention as he suspected that they thought him partly crazy too. It wasn't his fault that little muggle things were foreign to him and led him to ask what they believed to be dumb questions. But then that day, Sirius saw the man for the first time. He was wearing robes and Sirius knew right away that he was a wizard.

He couldn't believe his luck. Sirius knew enough about the trace to know that he could get away with doing a few little spells over the summer if there was an adult wizard around. He had gotten away with things at home. So, Sirius decided that tonight he would come back to his motorcycle when no one else was about and just do a few little improvements.

To his disappointment, the wizard upstairs didn't seem to be home. So Sirius went to the restaurant across the way to wait for a light to come on upstairs. He could probably use some coffee anyhow considering he would be up late. So, he sat by the window and looked for the man, not noticing anything else.

Evelyn had a wave of panic when she saw the boy sit down. It wasn't like he knew who she was. He had never seen her before or so she thought and for the first time in her life, she was feeling timid.

"Coffee?" Evelyn asked.

The boy didn't move his gaze from the window and gave a brief nod. As she filled the mug, she thought again of how handsome boys just weren't worth it. Just as she suspected, he seemed snobbish. He wouldn't even look at her.

"There you are" Evelyn said wondering if he would acknowledge her existence at all.

"Thanks" He said and looked at her for only half a second.

Sirius's gaze was almost to the window again when his eyes flew back towards the girl. He couldn't believe it, it was the girl from the park. Evelyn was startled by the boy's attention and Sirius knew he had to say something before she thought he was a creepy git who stared girls down. Luckily for Sirius being charming was just as easy as breathing for him.

"I need as much coffee as I can get" Sirius said with a smile.

"Long day?" asked Evelyn.

"Long night." Sirius said over the top of his mug before taking a sip.

Perhaps Sirius was a little too charming because Evelyn's eyebrows shot up and she let out a tiny laugh.

"Okay then" She said in a tone that let Sirius know he was sharing a little too much.

Sirius backtracked when he realized how she had taken his statement.

"No, not like that" He said with smile. Sirius still felt like a creep, he was practically at a Snape-following-around-Lily-Evans level. He had more or less stalked her at a park and now this. He had to stop before he reached a James-following-around-Lily-Evans Level.

"You see that shop, over there?" He said indicating out of the window. "I'm going there to work on my motorbike."

"Now? At night?"

Now it was Evelyn's turn to feel like a creep. She was doing a fine job of letting him know that she maybe stalked him a tiny bit.

"I mean," she quickly covered herself. "it...it looks closed."

"It is." Sirius said with a smirk. "Not to me though."

"Breaking and entering, are we?" Evelyn said as a joke completely believing that that wasn't his plan.

"Something like that" Sirius answered with another smirk. Being a troublemaker at Hogwarts was always very appealing to girls, he completely and totally believed the same was true outside of school. Judging by the girl's face, which was smiling, she was impressed.

She seemed about to say something when a man a few tables down said:

"Miss, another refill please?"

Evelyn threw Sirius a small smile and walked over to the other man. She reflected on the boy. He hadn't been that much of a jerk but was definitely arrogant. She smiled slightly as she thought of how he thought lying about being a criminal would be impressive.

But then Evelyn's shift was up and she went into a back room to change out of her work clothes. She left through the back of the restaurant and made her way towards the front of the building, lighting a cigarette along the way. When it wouldn't light, Evelyn paused and looked up to see the boy looking around suspiciously while crossing the road. He reached the door to the auto shop and looked around again while looking up. Evelyn's cigarette lit and in a split second she made a decision. She crossed the street, the cigarette now forgotten in her hand.

"Hey," She called out.

Sirius jumped due to nerves and stowed his wand in his pocket but then was relieved to see the girl. Evelyn didn't really need to ask the question since sirius's jump answered it already but she asked anyway.

"You're not actually breaking and entering, are you?"

Sirius leaned against the side of the building and smirked. "Well not so much breaking, if all goes to plan."

Evelyn took a puff of her cigarette unsure of what to say. Sirius stared at the cigarette utterly fascinated but not saying anything or grinning like she had expected him to.

"You're actually breaking in?" Evelyn asked suddenly nervous. After all, it was late at night and she was talking to a complete stranger who was potentially a criminal.

"Kind of." Sirius answered honestly with a shrug. He watched the girl's face go through a variety of expressions.

"Are you serious?" Evelyn asked. It had to be a joke, she thought.

Sirius smiled and let out a small laugh. With a cocked eyebrow he said:

"As a matter of fact, I am. And you're name?"

Sirius enjoyed the moment as the girl's face became utterly confused.

'What does that have to do with anything?" Evelyn asked unsure of where that came from and beginning to think the boy was insane.

"My name's Sirius." He said with an almost but not quite smile.

Evelyn made a noise on disbelief and said: "Yeah okay"

"It really is, though." Sirius insisted and he looked up. "Like the star."

"Why would your parents name you that?"

Sirius sighed: "Sometimes I think they only had me in order to make my life a living hell."

Evelyn let out a bitter laughing knowing that feeling all too well.

"Yeah, I sometimes think that too." She muttered.

Evelyn looked down and noticed that her cigarette had reached the filter. She dropped it to the ground and stamped it out. Sirius was once again intrigued by it. Evelyn stared at the door.

'So?" she asked.

"So what?" Sirius asked confused.

"Are you actually going to pick the lock?"

"Pick the lock? What does that mean?" Sirius asked with a laugh.

"Nice innocent act."

Sirius didn't know how to answer since he truly did not know what she meant by pick the lock. Sirius always thought that the main difference between muggles and wizards was the lack of magic but he was beginning to see there was more to it then that.

"Why do you care?" Sirius asked realized he had to say something.

"Because I'm an accomplice now since I know about it."

"Well, I don't think you can help much with my plan." Mainly, she couldn't magic the lock open like he could.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Evelyn asked angrily. She had a constant need to prove herself and if he was implying that she couldn't do something, she would show him how wrong he was.

"You can't be much help because you're a m-" Sirius stopped himself before he said muggle but he needed to say something so he looked at her and said the first thing that came to mind.

"Girl, because you're a girl."

Sirius had no idea that he had said the wrong thing. Anger coursed through Evelyn and she resisted the urge to punch him. Being a girl meant nothing to her.

"What so girls can't be criminals?"

Sirius saw she was angry but couldn't quite figure out why. He wasn't sure what to say.

"Move over," Evelyn said as she stood in front of the door and began to look through her bag.

Sirius could faintly smell the scent of her strange pipe on her skin now that she was close. And he liked it.

"What are you doing?" Sirius asked.

Evelyn had found two hair clips in her bag and she began to twist them hoping that picking a lock was as easy as people in the movies made it look.

She looked into Sirius's eyes and said cooly: "Breaking and Entering"

She stuck the pin into the lock, wiggling it and the lock clicked open.

Author's Note: Thanks for reading! And remember kids don't try this at home...mostly because picking locks is harder then it looks.
