Lincoln Park is over 1200 acres, so it's no surprise, really, that two people can both be in it and have no idea the other is there.

Lily Evans, for example, is currently all bundled up and making snow-animals - so far she's done Gryffindor's lion and a larger-than-life Ravenclaw's eagle finished, and is currently working on a Hufflepuff Badger

New park to explore! Well, not new so much as not in the area of the city she usually frequents, but that's okay. Huck's prowling through the park, not really looking for anything in particular, though she did enjoy a sweep through the zoo, when she spots Sirius.

So she sidles up and punches him in the arm. Lightly. It's like hello. "Hey," she says.

[scorching_black]

"Hi." Sirius grins at her, then gestures at the skaters. "How do they do that without magic?"

[callinallfreaks]

For a moment Huck just kind of stares at him, trying to decipher whether or not he's being serious. After a moment, she decides that he is (or he's putting on a really good show for a kinda lame joke, so he better not be joking).

"Uh, they got balance?" she says. Hell if she knows how you do it. You just put skates on and...go. And try no to fall over. Or you don't put skates on and go, which is what she usually does, skidding around in her trainers.

[scorching_black]

"I guess so. Skaters back home used magic to, y'know, not fall over....Muggles are pretty impressive really."

[callinallfreaks]

"Cheaters," Huck comments. "Takes th'fun outta it."

Then the rest of his words catches up with her and she gives him a very strange look. "The hell're muggles?" she asks. No, Sirius, she hasn't read the books. She hasn't really read anything.

[scorching_black]

"....oh, sorry. That's what we call people who don't have magic, in my world."

Beat.

"Not you, though, 'cause...werewolf."

[callinallfreaks]

"Oh." Huck shrugs. "Here we jus' call'em human." She grins a little toothily. No, Sirius, you don't count as human to her. You turn into a dog and came out of the Rift.

After a moment, she cocks her head in the direction of the rink. "C'mon," she says, starting to walk toward it. Hey, if they're not renting skates, they don't gotta pay, right?

[scorching_black]

"I don't count as human?"

Sirius follows her, confusedly.

"What are we doing?"

[callinallfreaks]

"Hell no," she says, and gives him a duh! look.. "Y'can turn into a dog 'n' got magic. 'Sides, y'came through the Rift, yer a Wanderer."

She skids out onto the ice rink, flailing for a moment before righting herself and sliding along the ice, nearly colliding with someone doing laps around the rink. "Fucker," she remarks to the person's back, then gives Sirius a lopsided grin. "Skatin', whassit look like?"

[scorching_black]

"....it looks like you're wearing the wrong kinds of shoes," Sirius says dryly. "Anyway, I don't know how."

[callinallfreaks]

Huck gives him an exasperated look, then marches back off the rink and up to Sirius, grabbing him by the arm and dragging him toward the ice. "Y'can learn. 's easier in tennies annaways," she says.

Yep, Sirius, you do what this girl says. Or she will make you. ...Good thing she likes you.

[scorching_black]

Sirius squawks.

"Wait, wait, Huck, don't...can't we discuss this?"

HE IS FRIGHTENED.

[callinallfreaks]

Huck doesn't stop dragging him toward the ice. "Nope!" she says. "Yer skatin', 's fun, c'mon!"

She pulls him out onto the rink. "'s not that hard anyway, quit whinin'." Why yes, she is used to bossing around pretty much everyone she interacts with.

[scorching_black]

"...let me guess. You're Alpha?"

Sirius allows her to pull him, sighing. "Okay, but when I get my motorcycle, I'm making you come with me on it."

[callinallfreaks]

Huck's a little taken aback by that, because most people need the concept explained to them, but she grins proudly. "Damn straight," she says. "'n' bikes're fuckin' bitchin'."

She skids along on the ice a bit, looking at him like she expects him to follow. Or fall over. It's hard to tell which.

[scorching_black]

"You're not my first werewolf," Sirius reminds her. "Also, dogs have a hierarchy too."

He follows her out, cautiously.

"Did I mention the bike will fly when I'm done with it?"
