Hadrian and Sirius discussed where to take Theo for their date over a light dinner. Eventually they decided that they would see a movie, go shopping in the muggle world and if they were feeling hungry after shopping stop into a cafe for something quick to eat. Hadrian planned to let Theo choose the movie and buy him a gift during their shopping trip.

The next morning during breakfast Hadrian asked Sirius if he had any suitable muggle clothes that he could borrow. After breakfast Sirius brought Hadrian up to his room and showed him a chest. "You can choose anything in there, it should be fine for the date that you have planned today, but you might want to think about getting your own muggle clothes. After all you should have a wardrobe that has something appropriate for all occasions.

"Thank you, Sirius. These will do for now until I can get my own." Hadrian looked through the chest and eventually chose an old band shirt, a leather jacket and acid washed jeans. He decided that he could at least wear his own shoes. Once he was dressed he hugged Sirius goodbye and left for the walk to the Leaky caldron.

The morning of their first date Theo was nervous. He had no idea what to wear, he had gone through his wardrobe and just couldn't seem to settle on anything. Eventually he just picked something at random. Some black trousers, and a deep green button down shirt with his dragonhide boots. Looking in the mirror, he thought that he looked fine and hoped he could pass as a muggle. Quickly he flooed to the leaky caldron before he felt the need to change clothes again.

When Hadrian arrived at the leaky caldron he found Theo waiting at the bar. "Theo" he called "are you ready to go?"

At Hadrian's call Theo turned to look at him. He frowned when he noticed what Hadrian was wearing. "Did I wear the wrong thing? I don't have anything like what you're wearing. Should I transfigure my clothes to be more like your's?"

Hadrian chuckled "No, please don't change anything. You look great, I'm just dressed a little more casually than you."

"Oh Ok then, that's good. This is my first time in the muggle world, I guess I'm more nervous than I thought I was," Theo murmured.

Hadrian smiled, "that's fine, I'll be with you the whole time. Take a deep breath to calm down and then we can go."

Theo took several slow deep breaths "Ok lets go".

As Hadrian led Theo out of the leaky cauldron he explained "I thought we could see a movie before doing some shopping and then grabbing a bite to eat."

Theo blinked "I know about shopping and going to restaurants, but what's a movie?"

Hadrian thought for a moment about how to describe what a movie was. "It's kind of like our moving photographs, except there's sound, they last about an hour and a half and they tell a story."

"Oh" said Theo, "that sounds interesting."

After a short walk they reached the theater. Hadrian showed Theo the posters of the movies that were playing. "You choose what you want to see."

Theo gulped and stepped forward and began to examine all the posters before pausing on Pocahontas. "Why does this one look different?"

"That's a cartoon, it's made using drawings instead of actors. Would you like to see it?" Asked Hadrian.

Theo nodded "I think I would."

Hadrian went up to the counter "two tickets for Pocahontas, please."

The ticket agent entered the information into the till " that will be ￡6.96."

Hadrian nervously handed over his Gringotts card. The ticket agent took the card and ran it through the credit card machine, printed the tickets and handed them over with his card. "Here you go, enjoy the show."

Hadrian sighed in relief that his card had actually worked as he returned to Theo. "I got the tickets, let's go get some snacks." They made their way over to the concession stand and looked over all the candy that was available. Hadrian explained the sweets as best as he could, after all he hadn't had much while living with the Dursleys. In the end they chose to share a large bucket of popcorn and get some soft drinks. After getting their snacks they went into the theater and found some seats.

Hadrian heard Theo jump and gasp next to him as the previews started. He leaned over and whispered "these are just previews, they show what will be available to watch later."

Theo just nodded completely entranced by what was going on on the screen. During the movie Hadrian couldn't help glancing over at Theo, it was sort of cute how he was completely engrossed in the movie, and how he made little noises at what was going on in the movie. After the movie as they were leaving the theater Hadrian asked Theo "well did you enjoy the movie?"

Theo exclaimed "I loved it, I can't think of why we don't have anything like that in the wixen world."

Hadrian grinned "I'm glad you liked it, we can come back and see another one sometime. I thought we could do a little shopping and get something to eat on the way back to the leaky."

Theo nodded "That sounds nice. Do you think we could go to a bookstore?"

Hadrian nodded, "Sure, do you like books, what kind do you like?"

"Yes," answered Theo "I love books, all kinds but I especially like to get lost in a good novel."

"Alright then, lets go the the bookstore" said Hadrian

Once they reached the bookstore Hadrian held the door open for Theo. Hadrian silently followed Theo around the store as he looked through everything. When he noticed Theo sadly putting a book back on a shelf Hadrian went and grabbed and asked the person behind the till to please hold it for him. After looking around for a few more minutes Theo mentioned he was ready to get something to eat.

Hadrian nodded "Ok I'm hungry too, can you wait outside, I just need to grab something real quick."

Theo looked a bit unsure, "Ok but be quick."

When Theo stepped outside Hadrian went to the till and purchased the book. Stepping outside he asked Theo "Ok are you ready to get something to eat?"

Theo looked curiously at his bag before nodding "ok, lets go."

After walking around they eventually found a small cafe that looked good. Entering the cafe took a seat and looked at the menu. After a few minutes Hadrian asked "do you know what you want. I think I'll have the turkey sandwich with some chips and tea."

Theo took a few more minutes to scrutinize the menu. "Hmm, I think I'll have a cheese toastie, with tomato soup and tea as well." Once they ordered, Theo asked "what did you buy in the bookstore."

Hadrian hummed "Oh just a small gift." Hadrian handed the bag over to Theo "for you."

Theo stared at Hadrian with wide eyes "Thank you, can I open it now or should I wait?"

"You can open whenever you like, Theo," responded Hadrian.

Just as Theo was about to open his gift their food arrived "oh" said Theo, "I'll open after we eat, this smells heavenly."

As they ate they made small talk, just getting to know each other. As they were finishing their meal Hadrian asked "how did you like your meal, you seemed to enjoy it?"

Theo looked up from finishing off his tomato soup, "it was delicious, I'd like to come here again and try something else on the menu."

Hadrian looked pleased as he replied "I'm glad, do you want to open your gift now?"

Theo nodded, picked up the bag and pulled the book out. When he saw that it was the book that he wanted, the one that he was so sad to have to put back he practically launched himself across the table to hug Hadrian. "Oh, Hadrian, I love it, this is just what I wanted, thank you so much."

Hadrian laughed "I'm glad you like it so much, would you like me to walk you back to the leaky cauldron?"

"Yes," grinned Theo, "let's go."

Hadran paid for their meal and once they were back outside Hadrian offered his arm to Theo. Theo barely took a moment to think before latching on to his arm and allowing himself to be led back toward the leaky cauldron.

Once inside the leaky cauldron the new couple made their way to the floo.

At the floo Theo turned to Hadrian "I had such a great time today and so many good new experiences. Is it ok if I tell my friends?"

"Your friends are Malfoy and Zabini right?" Hadrian sighed at Theo's nod. "I don't really like Malfoy but, I'm sure some of that dislike came from the people around me and the spells and compulsions on me. However despite my dislike, they are your friends so you can tell them. Just make sure that they keep it to themselves. I don't want Dumbledore or my former friends finding out about us and trying to do something to you."

Theo nodded in understanding "ok that makes sense, I don't really want Dumbledore to find out either, at least not yet."

Before Theo left Hadrian leaned in and gave him a hug goodbye, "you plan our next date, you can write to me or foo call me at Grimmauld Place, I had a really nice time with you today Theo."

Theo stepped back and grinned "I will, see you soon" before flooing home. Once Theo was gone Hadrian turned and headed home himself.

At the Burrow, Albus Dumbledore had gathered the Order of the Phoenix. They had gathered together to discuss what to do about Sirius and Harry.

To start the meeting Dumbledore announced "I would like to thank Molly and Aurther for the use of their home. It seems that Sirius has had to rescind the use of his home due to a case of spattergroit."

"Oh" gasped Molly "someone should be there to at least check in on him."

Dumbledore waved her concern away "not to worry Molly, Sirius has assured me that his house elf is happily caring for all his needs. Now onto the real issue at hand it appears that young Harry has disappeared from his relatives and the letter I sent him was returned unread. Have his friends heard from him at all?"

Molly shook her head "no, they haven't heard anything, when I spoke to them they seemed worried as well."

Kingsley leaned forward "I'll have the auror's keep an eye out for a boy fitting Harry's description."

"Thank you Kingsley" Dumbledore twinkled "Molly, Aurther can you have the children write Harry letters, he may be more inclined to answer letters from friends."

As the meeting went on no one noticed the pair of small ears lying on the floor near the door.
