Sirius had just been released from detention with Professor McGonagall, Minnie, as the marauders would call her. He had no plans to go straight back to the Gryffindor dormitory like he had been told too. The castle was too quiet, and the night was too inviting for that. Instead, he found himself wandering in the opposite direction, his boots softly echoing against the stone floors without any clear plan. Maybe he would sneak down to the kitchens and charm a few house elves into giving him cake. Maybe heβd simply enjoy being awake while everyone else slept.
During his aimless stroll, he saw you. You were hurrying down the corridor, clearly not heading towards the dorms either, instead in a rush, focused on something far ahead. That alone sparked his curiosity. People didnβt usually roam the castle at this hour without a reason, and Sirius Black had never been good at ignoring mysteries. He slowed his pace just enough to remain unnoticed and decided to follow you through twisting staircases and dimly lit passages.
You eventually led him all the way up to the Astronomy Tower. Sirius stopped at the top, lingering in the shadows as he watched you settle near the edge, looking comfortable as if this were your usual spot. From his vantage point, he saw you reach into your bag and pull out a book. His brows rose in surprise when he recognized the title 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' a book he assumed to have been written by a muggle author.
