→  diagon  alley  is  home  to  many  ,  a  direct  connection  to  the  wizarding  world  ,  right  in  the  centre  of  london  ,  many  people  like  SIRIUS BLACK ,  spend  majority  of  his   time  in  the  busy  alley  ,  people  know  him  as  the  TWENTY TWO year  old  who  is  a  GRYFFINDOR graduate  ,  now  working  as  a bartender,  i  think  the  role  suits  them  perfectly  as  i  think  they  are ADVENTUROUS but  also  they  can  be RECKLESS  ,  but  that's  just  my  opinion  .

♕ —- Mary let herself relax in Sirius’ grasp. She hadn’t realized that her whole body was holding in so much tension until he had shown up. And he was always the one guy in her life that was always showing up for her. With a deep breath, she looked up at him as he pulled back and her expression softened. She hated that he was worried over her again. She hated everything about what surrounded them both.

♕ —- “I’m okay,” Mary murmured reassuringly. “I’m safe, I’m right here, Sirius.”

What would he had done if she wasn’t? He wasn’t sure. He figured he’d probably end up trailing whoever it was himself. Sirius was very protective of those he held close and dear to his heart and Mary was definitely one of those people. She was his best friend and the thought of even possibly losing her was enough to make him sick. “Okay.. okay.” He repeated as he nodded and looked down at her. “Did you want to.. stay and help or did you want to get a distraction? Either way, I understand.”

♕ —- Molly didn’t mind taking on extra responsibilities. If there was a job to be done, she was going to do it even if it wasn’t her responsibility. There were a lot of people suffering from accidental ailments and so little healers to go around. And there seemed to be more children running around that only made her ache for her own. Kneeling down in front of the other, the midwife gave them a pleasant smile before she held up the lollipop that she had hidden in her pocket. “It’s all yours if you tell me what’s wrong,” she said half jokingly. “I can try my best to get you out here as fast as possible.”

   Sirius couldn’t help the chuckle that left his lips when she offered him a lollipop. Molly always had a trick up her sleeve of some sort. He peeked up at her and rubbed his cheek slightly when she told him to tell her what was wrong. “Well.. I might have reopened a wound that I was clearly told to be careful with. I was doing a bar trick and since I’ve been out and about trying to help people clean up and such and it’s right on my hand.. it kinda reopened again as stated.” He said as he cleared his throat while holding a rag to his palm. “Do I still get the lollipop?”

♕ —- “If looks could kill, 90 percent of my coworkers would be dead by now.” Evangeline lifted her drink to her lips and took a quick sip before she simply moved her bag out of the way. She figured that she could be nice and let the young man sit down. It wasn’t his fault that she was having a bad day. “No, it’s not taken,” she remarked with a shake of her head. “It’s been a rather tiring day.”

   “Ooh.. that bad, huh?” Sirius asked while glancing up at her after he took a seat when she moved her bag. Sirius took that as a sort of peace offering from the intense look she had given him earlier. Sirius nodded as he took the opportunity to ask for a drink. He sighed softly, “I know. I can’t imagine how stressful it must be for the auror department right now.” He glanced at her, “You doin’ alright?”

ofrosmertaollivander​.

it wasn’t unusual for rosmerta to get hit on by drunk people. it came with the territory, being one of the only female barmaids that worked at the three broomsticks. she had taken over her father’s business long enough ago that she knew how to handle herself with drunk people. however, she quite enjoyed flirting back, just to see the reaction she could get and how long it would take for them to ask her back to their rooms. 

it was a slow night that night, so she walked over the lone person sitting at the bar. she leaned against the bar, resting her elbows against the wood. she struck up a conversation, just to keep herself from getting bored until more people came in. it didn’t take long for roz to notice the person staring at her chest. “it’s rude to stare, honey.” she smugly smiled when the person sheepishly looked up at her. she grabbed the empty glass in front of them and went to wash it, leaving the person to sit in embarrassment for a little bit. 

   Sirius had decided that taking on a job at The Leaky Cauldron was a good idea. He could be closer to his friends and he didn’t have this overwhelming anxiety in his chest all the time of something happening to them. He was cleaning up some of the glasses that were left behind from the small rush that they had earlier when he heard Rosmerta talking to one of the few people left. He couldn’t help but chuckle when he heard the other person freeze up at her comment.  “You’re going to end up scaring people away, y’know.” He said with another laugh.

♕ —- Saying it had been a long day would have been an understatement. A massive one. The ministry had all it’s aurors in the alley trying to clean up the mess that Evangeline could have told them was going to happen when they spent so much time sweeping everything under the rug. The magical world, once again, was a powdered keg and this was just going to the one of many explosions that was bound to happen. Stepping into the pub, she made her way to the bar top and ordered herself a drink. It wasn’t long before she was joined by another and her jaw set. “Do I really look like I want to be hit on right now,” she asked the stranger as she cut them with her green eyes. “What do you want?”

    “Whoa-- whoa-- I think you’re mistaken. I mean, you’re beautiful and all but that is not my intent here.” Sirius said as he put a hand up when the woman finally looked at him. He had a bit of reputation of flirting in school but he felt like he had gotten better over the years since graduating. “I was going to ask if the seat was taken just so I can get a drink and go. I didn’t want to just be rude and sit. I reckoned that would be the best option but then you just.. attacked me with your eyes? If looks could kill.. I’m sure I’d be dead.”

♕ —- At the sound of his voice, Mary felt herself being pulled back out of the fog that had been surrounding her– choking her– and she turned to see Sirius making his way towards her. He pulled her into a hug and she sank into him, her arms wrapping around him as tightly as he held her. Her fingers clung to the back of his shirt and Mary pressed her face into his neck. All she wanted to do was hide away from everything, to ignore the reality that surrounded them quite literally.

♕ —- “I was just heading to work,” Mary mumbled. She wanted to tell him that she was fine but that would be a lie. “You’re supposed to be at work,” she pointed out. “Not supposed to be in this mess.”

    Sirius made sure to keep his arms around the other for a moment longer. Almost as if to say he was thankful that she was safe and that nothing had happened to her. He didn’t know what he would have done if something did. He knew his world would come crumbling down-- that was a fact. Sirius remained silent for a moment more before he then finally pulled back just enough to be able to look down at her. He looked over her features in silence before he shook his head.    “I just needed to know.” He started as he took a deep breath, “I just.. needed to know you were safe.”

who: open (general) where: in front of hemlock herbology, diagon alley

Cora had known it wasn’t going to be good from the moment she’d heard the news, but she’d still been at a loss for words when she saw the shop– windows smashed, leaves and dirt strewn out onto the cobblestones. Théa’s drawings torn and soaked by the morning’s rain. The Hemlock Herbology sign torn down, something black smeared over the letters she and her father had painted a decade ago.

But she’d come to her senses quickly and set about fixing it. The windows were the biggest problem– no sense cleaning up the inside when it was still exposed to the elements. She was in the middle of sealing a crack that repario wouldn’t touch with spellotape when she heard footsteps behind her.

“We’re not open.” That was an understatement, wasn’t it? “I, um. I don’t know when we’ll be open again.”

    Sirius looked and saw the way the woman’s expression was. Many people didn’t see him as someone able to comfort or deal with negative emotions and while he wasn’t fond of them, he knew that there was a time and a place. Something he struggled with when he was younger. Yet he had more emotional intelligence now. At least he hoped he did. Sirius had been walking around Diagon Alley for a bit now. Helping where he could. Picking up and repairing and even trying to bring smiles but it was no easy feat.     “I figure. I just.. wanted to know if you needed anything?”

» TAGGED: mary + open​ » main street of diagon alley, plot drop 001 !

♕ —- Mary felt sick to her stomach as she made her way through Diagon Alley. But she wasn’t just sickened, she was angry. The shops she frequented had been destroyed, so close to where she worked– far too close for comfort. And that poor muggleborn, barely even an adult, and she was certain that they hadn’t done anything besides simply existing. Then, the sour thought crossed her mind, it could have easily been her if she had been working that night. And unable to stop herself, Mary rolled back her shoulders as she felt a ghost pain settle in her joints, from a  memory that lingered and refused to leave her. The sight everything and her worries only making it worse.

♕ —- Carefully, Mary stepped over some rubble and glanced at the person who neared her. “Do you think they’ll need any more help with the clean up,” she asked aimlessly as she glanced at Florean’s shop frowning at the state of it. 

   Sirius had heard what had happened and dropped everything to leave work. His first thought was Mary. She worked too close to the place of attack. He didn’t even care to let his supervisor know. All he wanted was to make sure his friend was okay. He made sure to apparate right at Diagon Alley where he was shocked to find the left over of the attack. He looked around, hoping that maybe she hadn’t came to work but knowing better by now that wasn’t the case. Sirius looked around and walked forward until he saw glimpse of her from behind.  “Mary--” He called out to her, pulling her away from the stranger that she was talking. Sirius raced over to her and practically pulled her into a tight embrace, knowing that she was okay felt like a weight was lifted off his chest.

♕ —- When she heard his voice, Mary opened one eye to look over at him and let out a sleepy, lazy little chuckle. “I think the fact I slept in this long decided that much,” she said as she simply reached down and pulled the bed coverings over both their heads blocking out the rest of the world for a little while longer. “Definitely don’t want to move, far too comfortable,” she murmured as she nuzzled into her pillow ignoring the grumbling sound that her stomach was making. “It’s a do-nothing sort of day.”

   He laughed and looked back up at the ceiling, “The moment I saw you pull the blankets up, I knew I only have a few minutes before I lost ya.” He didn’t mind. He understood the importance of feeling comfortable enough to fall asleep. For the longest time, he didn’t have that. Sirius smiled while his eyes stayed focused on her. “I agree... but I think that it might not be a bad idea to get some breakfast first. I got you your favorite coffee roast.”

♕ —- James let out a snort. “It’s one step above me. I’m still depending on the leaky or the elves to keep me alive.” He let Sirius lead him away from where they stood near the hospital. He tipped his head back and let out a laugh. “I mean, we can just test to see who has the fast reflexes when the check comes around. Answer that question once and for all,” he remarked before he shrugged. “I don’t care what we eat, as long as we get something to eat.”

    “I’m not going to lie that I miss not having to cook. It gets stressful. What if I undercook-- what if I overcook. It’s all just a big mess sometimes.” The fact was that the two had a difficult time dealing with negative emotions. They were both so used to always being the ones bringing laughter to others that it just felt off when negative emotions set in. “Oh, so you want to set yourself up for failure? Okay. I’ll play your game.” He pulled his hand back now to stuff his hands into his pockets. “Well, I know a place that makes a pretty good burger near by.”

♕ —- James took in a deep breath. And then another before he pulled back. He shrugged his shoulders at Sirius’ question. He honestly couldn’t remember the last time he had eaten and it was probably a good idea if he fixed that. It was something that he could do for now. “Yeah, I hear you. I hear you,” he said back to Sirius and held up his hands to show that he was going to let Sirius take over for now. “I won’t say no to food.”

  “That’s what I want to hear. Now.. I have gotten better at cooking but I’m not past being only able to make a decent grilled cheese or some noodles and I don’t think that’s what you need right now.” He put his arm over his friend’s shoulders and led him now in the opposite direction, “So.. going out is probably our best bet. Anything you in the mood for? My treat and no, I’m not going to need to borrow money this time to pay for it.” He said in a joking matter to try to get his friend to smile.

Dirk grinned, “Luckily no, but a lot of folks thought you did this at first,” he pointed to his bright green hair, “That was some Gryffindor’s in my year messing up; a potion exploded, landed all over my head and boom green hair.” Course it could’ve been dyed back with the right counter-potion, but Dirk decided he’d liked it and kept it ever since.

“Ahh, why not? Were you on the team in school? He’d missed most of the games, having some of his extra language classes held at the same time. “Yup! Aikido in my case, my dad taught it to me,” he lent in close, “Between you me and the shop window it’s a handy skill to have; one time in school a fella tried to hex me but I had’im on the floor with his hands behind his back before he could say ‘bat-boogey’.”    

Would it had been cool to have pulled a stunt like that? Maybe. Sirius wasn’t sure. Sometimes they took their pranks a little far and despites meaning well--- most of the time, there were times it didn’t come off that way. “Well, strangely enough.. it suits ya rather well. I honestly wouldn’t have thought it anything strange if you hadn’t said anything.” He said with a chuckle.  He glanced at the broom once more and shrugged a shoulder, “Joined my third year as a joke with James. Just to fuck around and ended up being pretty decent at it. There’s a reason that Gryffindor was unbeatable for two years.” He said as he thought back on it before glancing back at him. His eyes widened a little when he got closer but he paid close attention to what he said. “I’d pay to see that. How long have you been doing that? I mean, the aikido.. not the knocking guys on their backs..”

♕ —- The mid morning sun rose in front of the window and a single stream of daylight hit Mary’s eyes through a crack in the curtain. She whined softly as she was brought out of her slumber and she rolled further onto her stomach before she buried her face into the pillow to block out the offending light. She knew that she had overslept. She would have been back in her own room by now without her roommates being any wiser (well, Lily would know but she knew everything). Not that it really mattered if her roommates knew or not, nothing actually happened last night. But Mary didn’t want to deal with explanations or the questions.

♕ —- Mary turned her head, to the other side, to glance at him beside her and took a deep breath before she simply let her eyes fall close once more.

   It wasn’t the first time and he sure it wasn’t going to be the last. Sirius knew that when Mary got comfortable, it was only a matter of time before she drifted off to sleep. When she did, Sirius always did his best not to make any sudden movements. She always looked so peaceful and he never really liked to wake her from her slumber. He had been awake for a few moments now when she glanced at him as he was just laying there with his eyes closed. A slight smile tugged at the corner of his lips when he heard her going back to bed. Sirius chuckled, “Good morning.” He said with a smile still lingering, “We having a lazy day today then?”

♕ —- Mary bit her lower lip and furrowed her brow as she concentrated, making sure to block the puck from going into her goal. She nudged it to where she wanted it, only glancing up briefly at his words, before she shot it back in his direction. “I hear a lot of talking going on over there. Should keep focus on me beating you.” She wished that they had more days like this. Where it was just them and they were… them. Nothing more, nothing less. For right now, things were good and that was how she liked it. 

      Sirius laughed as she almost made it into his goal. He made sure to move the slider in front of his goal once more and hit it back to Mary’s goal. “You act as if I’m going to let you win. There’s too high of stakes in this game right now.” Not that they had made a bet or anything but bragging rights were a thing that they liked to have over one another. “I think I got the hang of this pretty quickly if I say so myself.”

♕ —- James’ jaw ticked before he simply allowed himself to lean against his friend and rested his chin on Sirius’ shoulder. He took in a deep breath and then another before he pulled back. He scratched the back of his head. “I just need to get out of here for awhile. I’ll get around to process everything, just can’t right now. He shook his head before he added, “I’m sorry I haven’t mentioned anything. It’s all been happening at once and you know mum and dad, they never want us to worry about them.” He puffed out his cheeks. “It’s just not looking good.”

   He held onto James’, almost as if to try and take his pain somehow. He knew he couldn’t but he just wanted to try. He hated seeing his best friend so sad and he hated not being able to do anything for him when he had always been the biggest support for him. He pulled back and kept a hold of James’ shoulder though. “I know how they are. Have you ate? I know sometimes you forget. You need to take care of yourself at this point, you hear me?”
