˜”*°•. Rumors . Rumors spreading quicker than wildfire itself . Whispers crawling through the thickest of walls , reaching ears and ears . Their dorm was talking about it , the whole school was talking about it . Sirius Black was free . A dangerous criminal, a psychotic monster . Remains of that cruel war . So , when they’d started talking about it , when he’d practically pointed at Eris to very indescretly bring him up, he had barely considered it bad . When his friends had turned to look at her , joke about her inheriting the madness, he’d barely seen it as something horrible . Sirius Black was a cruel person, after all, and Eris hadn’t even met him . And yet , somehow, she’d still gotten upset . Upset enough to say something and walk away . ❝ Eris wait . ❞ He said rushing before her , following her . ❝ Come on , it was a joke, you can’t be taking it seriously. ❞
