Location: The Quidditch Pitch With: @childofwxr
Students had gathered on the Quidditch pitch, blankets strewn about the field, the quiet lull of lazy chatter finding Sirius’ ears from every direction. He assumed that most of the castle’s inhabitants had gathered to watch the meteor shower, and that’s why he had been roaming the crowd, searching every face he passed for one Mary MacDonald. But Mary was nowhere to be found.
Of course, the one time that Sirius needed to talk to her, he couldn’t find her anywhere. He huffed out a sigh, running a hand through his hair, as he continued to search. It was important - of course it was - that he find her, that he talk to her about Remus. He had overheard them talking, after all, in the infirmary, and although it hadn’t been outright said, it was obvious enough that Mary knew about Remus’ furry little problem.
Perhaps it was an obligation he had to his friend - or some part of him that was still trying to atone for what he’d done the previous year - but Sirius decided to take it upon himself to make sure Mary knew how big of a secret it actually was. It wasn’t something to be taken lightly - he knew that better than anyone, now.
The sky was growing dark, and the shower was sure to start soon. Sirius huffed out a sigh. He wanted to make it back to the infirmary to visit Remus before it was too late, and he was running out of time. But a voice caught his ear, and he whipped around, eyes searching the crowd, when he spotted her.
“Oi, MacDonald!” he shouted, making a beeline for Mary. “We’ve got to talk, yeah?” He motioned for her to follow him, and he made his way through to the crowd to find a secluded spot for them to talk.
