Gabriel shrugs. "Probably after Remus gets him calmed down... a lot..." he answered. He looked up, wondering if he should try to urge the others to come towards them faster, or to wave them away because he was too comfortable leaning on Harry (albeit over a bench) to move.

Harry hummed in agreement. "Sorry about getting you hexed...by the both of them," he said, glancing up and back at Gabriel.
(We ought to stop. Lupin's probably going to get yelled at by Lunar_Blade for us being postwhores...well, that and I'm getting off line.)

(But being postwhores is fuuuuuun!)
"Eh, I probably deserved it, well, at least Remus's one, because of the prank this morning," he commented. "Sirius's... well... I shall get my revenge if I'm ever unlazy enough to do it."

((Would you stop with the pages!? I cant keep up!!! gonk crying crying gonk ))
Killa watched the word exchange, her eyes growing wider the worse it got. She felt like a scared Hufflepuff at the moment, but quickly put her face back in the right folds. She was slightly amused that Kathryn had never tried flooing before and that she was afraid it might hurt.
As the other stopped so did she, but she wrinkled her nose slightly when she heard Malfoy rephrase what he was about to say. So much for the Prince of Slytherin... He was getting too big of a wuss, really. It didnt suit a Slytherin, let alone a Malfoy. He was supposed to be cocky and look down on others, especially Gryffindors. He was supposed to always fight the golden trio and get beaten at Potter in Quidditch. Ok, so the last part she made up, but it wasnt far from the truth, really. She supposed the war had changed all that, but it still was a bit hard to get used to. Sometimes she wished everything could just go back to normal...
She bumped into the red-head, not having noticed them stopping as she walked in her own thoughts. She blushed slightly, before she got a chance to stop the color from flowing to her cheeks.
"Sorry" she muttered and quickly ran back over to Kathryn, all but hiding behind the girl. After realizing what she did, she scolded herself. Why had she reacted like that!? She was a Slytherin, not a bloody Hufflepuff!

(I hate you guys... So very much)
Kathryn slowly got more and more agitated as she walked. It was a festival of emotions and she couldn't stand it. First it was happiness and love with Harry and Gabriel, then it was anger and regret with Sirius, then making up. All in such a short walk. She sped up, ignoring the others and quickly walked into the Three Broomsticks. Being a listener wasn't working, when she talked she was ignored. She walked straight over to the fire, scraped up the floo powder and clenched it tightly in a fist. Looking over her shoulder she gave a dark look at the others. Kathryn wouldn't stand for it anymore, being the third wheel. When she was younger she saw her father use the fireplace, and using that knowledge she flung the powder into the fire. Not caring if she got it wrong, she looked back at the others.
"Okay guys, when you get over yourselves, I'll be at Diagon Alley, or not, I'm not sure how this works" She said firmly and loudly. Giving Killa an apologetic smile, she didn't really deserve the scolding as she hadn't done anything. With that, she spoke her destination, walked into the towering emerald flames and was gone.

Draco followed Kathryn and watched her leave through lazy eyes. He shrugged and turned about. He wasn't pissed like people would have thought he was. He felt more...betrayed? Guess that's the word. When Sirius talked so...disrespectfully about his family, it was just... Well actually it was understandable being that his family were the main deatheaters, but that wasn't the point!...well not really. He just felt odd that even in the "good" side of the world, his family was concidered a joke. The side with the people who, yes they would probably sneer, but should be able to see at least some good in her, even if he didn't posess it himself. To talk about her as if she were some rodent was beyond his own comprehension. She was the only one, except maybe Severus, who wanted him to live it seemed. To talk about her so lowly wasn't attainable for him to grasp.
In a small stupor, he went outside and decided to walk around Hogsmede, really not wanting to talk to the Gryffindors anymore. Even the other Slytherin girl seemed on their side being that it looked like she was trying break him with her disgusted gaze. He shoved his hands in his pockets and trudged off.
(Um i'm sorry if you didn't understand what I meant but I meant he followed her into three broomsticks then turned around and walked out. I didn't follow her...I guess I should be clearer at 5 in the morning eh >

Killa blinked confused at the look Kathryn had sent her, then followed her and Draco into the fire, speaking her destination loud and clear. She wasnt sure she had gotten it right, but as she landed she just managed to see the Malfoy heir walk away, hands in his pockets, as she was flung out of the fireplace. She got up and brushed herself off, looking around to see if she could find a friendly face, maybe Kathryn. She couldnt have gotten far in just a few minutes.

I suppose this is what happens when you have a real life to attend to. My daughter got sick and then I had a few difficulties with my job, but I found some time to get online and catch up. I suppose, I'll just be nice and force my way into the situation.
Minerva had been contemplating the fact that she had needed to go to Diagon Alley for several days now. This ball that Albus was planning gave her an excuse to go and she apparated just outside of Fortescue's shop. Dusting off her tartan robes primly, she made a point of speaking with Fortescue for a moment and catching up on a few things she had missed since her last visit to Diagon Alley.
From there, she made her way to Madam Malkin's to see about getting new teaching robes and new dress robes.

Sirius Black-Snuffles Captain
|
Posted: Thu Mar 16, 2006 6:39 pm
"Ok, don't answer..." Sirius muttered. He grabbed Remus' arm and dragged him past Harry and Gabriel and into the Three Broomsticks (which, he noted with a smirk, still had the Hogs Head sign). He waved to Rosmertta and let go of Remus' arm.
"Didn't know you renamed the place," he said to her with a wink and a grin. She blinked and started to turn red as he quickly grabbed a handful of floo powder and tossed it into the fire with a laugh.
"SIRIUS BLACK!" she cried as Sirius jumped into the fire and shouted.
"Diagon Alley!"
Whirling around, Sirius tucked his arms in and clenched his eyes closed before finally coming to a startling stop. He stumbled out of the fire place grinning and coughing slightly. He glanced around the Leakey Cauldron and grinned, brushing the soot off his robes.

(We can use my post for a super post. Just extend it from here.)
Remus cringed, following after Sirius quickly before Madam Rosemerta could even try to get an answer out of him. Especially since he'd helped. He stumbled out of the fire and right into Sirius' soot covered shoulder.
Sirius stumbled and flapped his arms a bit to regain his balance. He turned to Remus with a smirk.
"You're a bit dirty."
Remus sniffed, brushing off his robes. "So're you," he pointed out, wiping a smudge of soot from Sirius' cheek.
Sirius laughed and pulled out his wand. "Hold still, a bit of brushing off won't do you any good," he said before performing a quick cleaning charm. He grinned and ruffled Remus' hair.
"See? Much better."
Remus stuck his tongue out at Sirius.
"Git," he said affectionately.
"You love me and you know it," Sirius replied with a grin, not bothering to clean himself off. He leaned forward and quickly kissed Remus.
"Come on, we might as well head over to Gringotts and ask them if it's even possible to transfer the money back to some one who is supposed to be dead."
"Shouldn't we wait for Harry?" Remus asked quietly. "I'm sure he's bound to have a bit more influence than a dead murderer and a werewolf."
"They're Goblins. They don't care. If Mr. Potter wants to take his dear sweet time, than let him. We'll get all the questions out of the way while he stalls."
"Of course," Remus stepped out into the morning sunlight of Diagon Alley, looking about. He spotted the Slytherin girl standing nearby, but Kathryn, where ever she had gone, had disappeared completely. He took a moment to bask in the warm sun.
Sirius followed Remus and looked around Diagon Alley quietly, taking it in. He smiled, reading all the shop signs and taking in all the changes. He couldn't help but grin as he watched the daily business going on around him, complaints about prices and laughs and shouts all around him. One mother was scolding her crying son for breaking his older sister's wand. He chuckled as he realized that somethings just didn't change over time, even if it was nearly two decades.
Remus smiled. "Good to be back, isn't it?" he asked warmly.
"Great to be back. Hey, I've got a spare bit of cash on me right now. Let's get some ice cream before we go over to Gringotts. Give the others some time to catch up. What do you say?" he asked cheerfully.
"Probably be a good idea," Remus said. "That and well, I haven't had ice cream in ages."
"Blasphemy, come along you," Sirius said, grabbing Remus' arm and dragging him to Fortescue's. He ignored the odd stares he got--not for being Sirius Black, or for being with a werewolf--but for being completely covered in soot.
"The others can all do whatever they want, we're not playing chaperones. We just have to get my money back from Mr. Potter, and then buy robes. Lot's of robes. Robes that will technically belong to me but robes that I will never wear because you'll be too busy wearing them. Oh, and dress robes. I suppose we need those too," he rambled as they neared the Ice Cream parlour.
"Oh, what flavour do you want?" he asked, stopping and looking at Remus with a smile.
Remus didn't bother protesting Sirius' plans, because he knew it was just going to lead to an argument and it was too nice and Sirius was too cheered by being outside to want to pick this fight again.
"Chocolate," he said simply, pulling his arm out of Sirius' grasp, making it clear, his fingers lingering for only a moment on his elbow that he didn't want to, but he'd rather they didn't attract any more attention then necessary. "What else?"
Sirius smiled at Remus as the entered the shop. "Chocolate sounds good, cone or cup?"
"I like the glass dishes actually," Remus replied.
Sirius nodded and went up to the counter. He ordered a dish of chocolate ice cream and then glanced at the flavors before telling the young girl working to surprise him. She nodded and after paying, Sirius was holding two glass dishes. One filled with unmistakable chocolate ice cream, and the other with a very brightly multi-colored ice cream. He held the dish with the chocolate ice cream out to Remus.
"Shall we eat these outside?"
Accepting his ice cream, Remus stole a spoon from the counter and tried a bit, moaning softly as if melted against his tongue. This really was a sin, he thought, nodding in response to Sirius' question and making his way outside. "Do I want to know what flavor you got?" he asked, sitting down at a small table out in the sun and looking at Sirius's multi colored dessert.
Snatching a spoon for himself, Sirius followed Remus and sat down at one of the tables.
"Not entirely sure..." he said, poking at it slightly with his spoon.
Remus arched an eyebrow at it and with a shrug, set about eating his own ice cream.
Sirius bravely took a bite of his own ice cream. His eyes widened at the explosion of flavours in his mouth. He swallowed.
"I've fallen in love Moony," he whispered.
Remus laughed, sneaking a bit of it before Sirius could protest and trying it. Oh, oh that was good. Like a little flavor explosion in your mouth. Better than chocolate.
"Delicious," he said.
(Okay...that Super Post is done. We're at Fortescue if you need us.)

Harry grinned. "Unlazy?" he asked. "That's a new word. Did you just make that up, or have you got a dictionary?"

Regretting her sudden outburst, Kathryn whirled around and finally crash landed and emerged a few seconds later into the busy street of Diagon Alley. Dodging the strangers around her, she made her way to the nearby signs, located the direction of Madam Malkins, and began the trek. Pulling her collar up Kathryn began to think, she really just wanted to skip the whole ball, to be honest she could see how jealousy was a big part of it and in a fit of frustration, she kicked a wall. Looking to her right she saw the entrance to Madam Malkins. Smiling at the coincedence, she pushed the door open and entered.

((You have no idea how great an idea that was Remy! Saves people from looking through 10 pages to see if there is anything they need to know.))
Looking around, Killa saw Sirius and Remus enter the ice cream shop, but those were the only sign of someone beside her and them having ever really come out of the fireplace in Diagon alley. She shrugged and started towards the large building at the end of the street, the wizard bank Gringotts.
As she walked, she looked into the different shops for anything she might want to buy, but not much in Diagon Alley had ever caught her attention. Nockturn Alley, now that was a place to shop!
She went into the bank and was shown to her vault (Not one of the longer rides, luckily) and got out again, zig zagging slightly as she walked.
She decided to go to Nockturn Alley for her dress robe. She was bound to find something unique in there, since not many in Hogwarts shopped there. Even some of the Slytherins didnt.

(While we wait for Harry and Gabriel, we'll go ahead and make another super post to keep ourselves from going insane from boredom)
"Hey! That's mine!" Sirius protested as Remus commented on the taste. He mock glared at the other man before darting forward and stealing a bite of Remus' chocolate ice cream. He hummed in pleasure.
"Mine is really good, but nothing beats an old classic."
Remus grinned. "True. Shame we didn't think to get Vanilla. They have the real stuff here," he said.
"That's the stuff with the bean bits isn't it? Yeah, that's really good..." Sirius said taking another bite of his own ice cream.
Arching an eyebrow at the comment, Remus shook his head. "Bean bits?" he asked.
"Yeah you know," Sirius replied taking another bite. "The bits of vanilla beans."
Remus laughed. "You really are insane, you know that?" he said fondly, resting his chin into the palm of his left hand.
"Yes I do. Thank you," Sirius replied with a grin. He glanced down at Remus' ice cream and pointed his spoon at it. "And you had better eat that before it melts."
"Of course," Remus said, straightening up a bit and spooning a small bite into his mouth, closing his eyes and savoring the taste as it melted. It had been far too long since he'd indulged in sweets.
Sirius watched Remus while slowly eating his own ice cream, smirking slightly as the other man paused to savor the taste. Realizing that he was staring (and in public!) he blushed slightly and looked to the hustle and bustle of Diagon Alley to distract him.
Finishing his ice cream with a soft sound of approval, Remus licked the spoon one last time and set it onto the table, glancing at Sirius as he did. Sirius was looking out at the wizards and witches that passed the ice cream parlor.
"You ought to eat yours before it melts, Sirius," he said cheekily, stealing another spoonful.
Sirius glared at Remus and stuck his tongue out. "Oh hush up, and keep your spoon away from my ice cream you prat," he replied before he returned to eating his ice cream. He left a spoonful in the bowl and pushed it over toward Remus.
Remus took the last spoonful. "Shame we're here, or I'd show my thanks properly," he said with a faint smile.
(And we go back to waiting once more. *sighs*)

It was the second time Kathryn ever set foot in Madam Malkins, and she could see that the styles of clothing on the manequins had changed. The rolls of fabric that lined the walls were varying in size, colour and patterns, there was a nearby table filled with designs and several books to choose from. Kathryn strode over to said table and picked up a book and slipped through several pages. With a face of disgust she placed the book down, who in their right mind would wear something soo... Poofy... Frilly and... Pink!
Looking around she spotted a certain teacher. It couldn't hurt to say hello.
"Hi Professor" She said with a friendly wave.
