Sirius walked in the path to Hogsmeade village. He was bored, and all his friends had found something to do without him. Sighing, he brushed back his messy hair, making a mental note to trim it as soon as possible.
Grinning, he thought of maybe visiting Artemis at the Twilight. She was entertaining, and would rid of his boredom for a good few hours.
But the thought was squashed out of his mind when he remembered that Hogwarts students would swarm the place and keep her busy.
Shrugging, he sat down on a bench at the village's entrance, and looked up at the sky in boredom.

Walking down the streets of Diagon Alley, hands in her jean pocket, a smile immediately came onto her face at seeing the sitting form of the one and only Sirius Black.
Walking slowly and slyly, she managed to sneak up on him and jump in his lap, "What's up goodlookin?" Happy to see him again.

(( xD Omg. I thought this was Hogsmeade...XD)) Sirius jumped when something, or someone, jumping into his lap, startling him. "What's up goodlookin?""Art!" He gasped. "Geez, give someone a heart attack, why don't you." He muttered. But upon looking at her happy face, he grinned. "What are you doing around here?"

Wrapping an arm around his shoulders, a frown pulled at her smile, "Shop got trashed this morning...woke up to a few thugs in my room...one actually had the odasity to be straddling me as i woke up..." Shrugging it off like it was nothing, "So after i managed to escape them i came here...it's good to see a nice friendly face..." Smiles at Sirius, "How 'bout you?"

"Wow. And yet you tell the tale as if it happened everyday." He said, eyebrow raised.
Shrugging at her question, he answered, "Just bored. Everyone's doing something except for me." He sighed, then smiled. "Would you like to have a couple of drinks?" He offered. "My treat."

Jumping off his lap onto her feet she gave a true smile, "I'd love to...your treat of course..." Links her arm with his pulling him to his feet, " I deffinately need something to get my mind off todays...uh...events..." Looking around, she looks back at Sirius, "Where to Paddy?"

"Where else?" He grinned. "Leaky Cauldron of course." He said, leading towards the famous bar.

Making it inside, she smelled the crisp warm air, and then ran to the bar counter, ready to forget this morning, especially the stuff she hadn't the courage to tell Sirius. The stuff that made herself feel weak and horrible. The stuff that made her actually want to cry, the stuff that caused her to fear.
"Big glass of Firewhiskey please, extra sharp!" A smile came to her face when the huge mug came into view, and she put her hands around it bringing it to her lips, and sat down on one of the stools as Paddy approached.

"Oh no no no." Sirius warned, reaching to take the cup of the amber liquid away from Artemis. "I'll let you have it if you promise it'd be the only cup of Firewhiskey for today. You're impossible to take care of when you're drunk." He said.
To the bartender, he said, "One Butterbeer for me."

Frowning she reached out for the mug, "Oh come on...I deserve it...just two...i promise I'll be a good little girl and I won't get waisted...please...i need it after whats happened..." Snatching it away from him she quickly began guzzling it down.

Sirius stared as she gulped down the Firewhiskey. Shaking his head hopelessly, he payed for both drinks and sipped his Butterbeer. "Did they take anything of value from the shop?" Sirius asked.

Guzzling half of it down, she laughed, the liquid burning her throat but it felt good, "Nah...just my dignity...an innocence...other then that...I'm good..." Not even bothering to look at him she drank the rest of the mug, asking for more.

Dignit? Innocence?
Sirius choked on his Butterbeer. Coughing, he stared at her with wide eyes. "You mean, th-they....raped you?" He whispered the last two words.

Guzzling the second one down, she simply nodded, not wanting to think about it or be sad. If she cried that symbolized weakness, something she hated...especially from herself.
(sorry, i was in an emo mood today..that mixed with mountain dew...well...yea...sorry...it'll get happier i promise!)

Sirius simply looked down at his bottle, not knowing what to say. Of course, he would comfort her, but what words should he say?
And yet, she wasn't showing weakness, which proved something to him: Artemis was strong.
He would be there for her, either way, but of course, she had to know that already. I mean, they are friends, no?
Shaking the thoughts away, he gulped down his Butterbeer and ordered a Firewhiskey next.
"Did you see their faces?" Sirius asked, the urge for revenge suddenly bubbling inside of him.
