Who: Sirius Black & Eris Duchamp
When: Thursday, Nov 20 - Eris skives off class.
Where: St. Mungo's & Knockturn Alley
What: Eris skips class to come entertain Sirius, then helps sneak him out of St. Mungo's and the two go to a strip club
*Eris*
He looked grim as he wandered down the halls of St. Mungo's. He hated hospitals. It had been easy to sneak out of Hogwarts, of course. He wasn't a "real" student anyway, the Aurors were too busy tending to their own affairs and well, he didn't even look like his normal self anymore. One quick motorbike ride later and he was, at St. Mungo's. He came to the room of the patient in question and smiled to the orderly on the door.
"Visiting hours, right?" He smiled hopefully. "'Cause if I have to go back to the Aurors and tell 'em you wouldn't let the Get Well Soon Rent Boy in... Well, that'd be kinda rough."
The orderly quickly allowed him in and Eris approached the bed.
"So... errr... how's the arm?"
*Sirius*
"Better," he said, looking at the green haired boy who came in.
"Eris?" he asked. "To what do I owe this honour?"
: *Eris*
He smiled.
"Oh good, you figured it out. Did you hear about our latest "accident" back at Hogwarts or did the hair give it away?"
*Sirius*
"Well, the hair kind of gave it away. But I did hear. It affected Remus.. and the boys dropped by already," he said.
*Eris*
He nodded.
"Oh, ok... So yeah, we're all sexually confused now. It's good times..."
*Sirius*
"Doesn't look like you're too bad off," he said with an appreciative smirk.
*Eris*
He laughed.
"See? I keep telling people that I am a very handsome man. So far no luck."
*Sirius*
He chuckled.
"Well, I'm sure you're a hit with the punk rock crowd," he teased.
*Eris*
He laughed again.
"Yeah, Hogwart's notoriously large punk rock crowd... Consisting of me, the chick in Gryffindor with the secret tattoos... Vaisey... and, errr... me. Well, and you too..."
He paced slightly.
*Sirius*
He raised an eyebrow at Eris.
"Bored or something? I apologize that I'm not the most entertaining person in the world.”
: *Eris*
He shook her head.
"No, not bored... A little antsy, that's me. And, y'know, being truant and all... And being an illegal alien, that too."
*Sirius*
He nodded.
"I wouldn't worry about either of those. From what I've heard, Rufus has other things on his mind. So, you should be alright as long as you lay low and stay out of trouble. "
*Eris*
He smiled.
"Look who you're talking to... But that's reassuring at least. One of the reasons I wanted to check in... Wasn't sure what my status was anymore..."
*Sirius*
He nodded.
"Understandable. I don't keep much paperwork on you, and the Aurors at Hogwarts are pretty loyal to me. Let's hope they stay that way. I can't guarantee you safety, kid. "
*Eris*
He nodded thoughtfully.
"Yeah, that's kinda what I thought... I'm used to people not guaranteeing my safety though... And Hogwarts is still more home than anywhere else..."
*Sirius*
He nodded.
"Hey, I still think I’m going back to Hogwarts after all this. They whole not having a job hasn't set in yet. "
*Eris*
He nodded.
"Ummm, so... where are you going... After this?"
*Sirius*
"To a cottage in Wales... at least until the rehab's done. Rufus said he'll let me reapply once I'm healed, but it's not worth holding my breath. Maybe a nice vacation to the Caribbean or something," he said with a shrug as he smiled.
"What about you? You going to stay in school this year?"
*Eris*
He nodded and sat down in a chair across from the bed.
"Yeah, probably ought to. I mean, it's not like I've got a lot of options or anything... And like everybody I know is at Hogwarts..."
*Sirius*
"Probably good idea, kid. Hear all these benefits to a good education," he teased.
*Eris*
He shrugged.
"I guess.. I'll still have no options when I'm done... Know any fun clubs in Knockturn that'll hire..."
*Sirius*
He chuckled.
"Haven't been to those clubs in awhile, but they're usually hiring.
"I'm sure you can do better than that.."
*Eris*
He looked doubtful.
"Really? Because the only time I ever been accepted by anyone is when I've been fucking them..."
*Siriius*
"Duchamp, you know that's not true," he said, swinging his legs off the bed and going over to Eris.
"You're a little firecracker and good for much more than that."
: *Eris*
He looked up at him.
"Yeah? Yeah, you're right, I probably am... Not a clue what to do with myself though... I'll come up with something though..."
*Sirius*
He ruffled Eris' hair with his good hand.
"I don't doubt it. You could always be a hula dancer..."
*Eris*
He laughed at that.
"Sheesh, you wear a hula suit once on account of a musical and no one lets you forget it... Besides I don't have the hips to pull that off."
*Sirius*
"That and you're pasty white," he teased.
"You should go to the Caribbean..."
*Eris*
He stuck out his tongue.
"I burn in the sun."
*Sirius*
He chuckled.
"So you make a perfect Brit," he teased.
*Eris*
He shrugged.
"It's in the genes, I think."
*Sirius*
He raised an eyebrow.
"I thought you were American though?"
*Eris*
He laughed.
"Yeah, but I'm not an American Indian... I'm a white girl, I came from somewhere else, England most likely, generations back."
*Sirius*
"Well, you look the part of a British punk boy now, that's for sure," he teased as he leaned against the window.
"Hospitals, suck, by the way. Horrible instruments of torture."
*Eris*
He laughed again, it was nice talking to an adult and not getting a lecture attached.
"Yeah, full of sick people, you stay here much longer you'll catch something..."
*Sirius*
He chuckled.
"Only thing I plan on catching is a hot nurse's floo location," he teased.
*Eris*
He made a face.
"You are a married man... A married gay man even... And besides, they stuck you in sexually transmitted diseases ward."
*Sirius*
"A married gay man who just happens to be a lifetime flirt," he teased.
"And I'm in my usual room. Which I guess won't be mine much longer. And which is most definitely NOT in the STD ward."
*Eris*
He looked around.
"Your usual room? Is this the presidential suite?"
*Sirius*
"Benefit of working for the Ministry of Law Enforcement - a personal room at St. Mungo's," he declared, waving his hand around.
"Always waiting for me whenever the need arises."
*Eris*
He nodded.
"Well, it is is charming. Could use a little decorating but otherwise...
*Sirius*
He laughed.
"Well, it won't be mine for much longer, so doubt it matters that much."
*Eris*
He smiled.
"Well, here's hoping the next guy gets more use out of it."
*Sirius*
He chuckled.
"Wishing someone lots of injuries?" he asked.
*Eris*
He nodded.
"Typically, yes. I mean, you're pretty cool... for a cop that is. But the next guys going to be a jerk, he's gonna have to be just to make appearances... And that's gonna suck for all of us."
*Sirius*
"Gawain isn't that bad," he said.
"Just a bit straight laced."
*Eris*
"Yeah, I've seen him around and he seems ok... But he's gonna have to be a dick or they'll be out to get him to... I mean, you were cool... you went after the folks who deserved it and didn't mess with the small stuff... If this Gawain guy wants to keep his job he's gonna have to be a dick and come down hard on all us goof-offs."
*Sirius*
He nodded.
"Yeah, unfortunately, I think he's sitting tight in Rufus' pocket."
*Eris*
"Is that an Auror in your pocket or are you happy to see me?"
*Sirius*
He laughed.
"I wouldn't say that to Rufus. If I were you, I'd stay far away from Rufus in general."
*Eris*
He nodded.
"Oh definitely... You know me and authority figures."
: *Sirius*
He chuckled.
"Trouble?" he teased.
*Eris*
He nodded.
"Generally yeah. Of course, you're not an authority figure anymore, so we should start getting along a lot better."
*Sirius*
He chuckled and ruffled Eris' hair.
"Well, I think you're still too young for me to take you out for drinks,"
*Eris*
He laughed.
"It's ok, I'm trying to cut back... Came a little too close to hitting the rock-n-roll, live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse ideal."
*Sirius*
"Yeah, well, that's fun for awhile, but living is always more fun than dying," he said with a smirk.
"You want to go for a walk or something? Maybe hit one of those clubs in Knockturn you're so keen on?"
*Eris*
He nodded sagely.
"My point exactly."
He laughed again.
"You sure your husband would agree to that? Sounds like trouble waiting to happen to me..."
*Sirius*
He laughed.
"Do you see my husband around?"
He went over to the wardrobe and grumbled, not finding any real pants.
"Can I borrow your wand?"
*Eris*
He shrugged and handed it over.
"Sure, don't bust it up or nothin'... Me and that wand been through a lot together..."
*Sirius*
He took the wand in his left hand and waved it, managing to transfigure his pyjama pants into a pair of faded jeans before transfiguring the blanket into a leather jacked and gingerly easing his arm into it.
"See, there we go. Good as new," he said, flashing a trademark grin at Eris.
*Eris*
He grinned back.
"Pretty impressive... You've had to do a few quick changes in your time, I take it..."
*Sirius*
"You should see what I can do with my good hand," he teased, wiggling his fingers tantalizing at Eris before tossing the wand back at the green haired boy.
"Now to do something about the staff..."
*Eris*
He very nearly caught the wand and bobbled it, letting it clatter to the floor.
"Jeez, watch it..."
He bent to pick it up.
"Yeah, that guard on the door ain't gonna just let us wander out of here..."
*Sirius*
"So... hospital distraction or glamour?" he asked with a smirk.
*Eris*
He looked thoughtful.
"Oh, a distraction. More chaotic.”
*Sirius*
He smirked.
"Shall I let you do the honours?"
*Eris*
He looked thoughtful a moment and then nodded.
"Right. Let me go see what I can do... I'll be right back."
*Sirius*
"Go at it," he said with a grin, eager to see what Eris had planned.
*Eris*
He departed into the hall and sauntered off, looking for something... anything... a big noise maker. Eventually finds a wheeled tray for ferrying meals about, takes it and shoves it as hard as she can into someone's room, ramming their bed. Sure enough: big noise, charms going off, orderlies and nurses come running... Mission accomplished, Eris snuck back to Sirius's room.
*Sirius*
Raising an eyebrow at the green haired boy, she smiled.
"All done?"
*Eris*
He nodded.
"Yeah, flung some shit into the coma patients ward. That'll keep 'em busy for a bit."
*Sirius*
"You're horrible," he said with a grin.
"Let's go," he said sneaking out of the room and looking both ways before making a quick yet calm rush for the lift.
*Eris*
He strode along beside Sirius, trying not to stick out as the approached the lift.
*Sirius*
He grinned as they rode the lift down to the ground floor and strolled out of St. Mungo's amidst the confusion.
"Congratulations, kid, you did it. So, Knockturn? Or want to grab a pint somewhere first?"
*Eris*
He shook her head.
"I don't drink so much, remember. But if you want to, I'll watch..."
*Sirius*
"Nah, no fun drinking alone. So, where shall I take you, greenbeans?" he asked.
*Eris*
He shrugged.
"I dunno... all I know are rumours and hearsay... I bet you already know the exciting places to go."
*Sirius*
"Well, I haven't been to such disreputable places in years, obviously, but we could check out one or two of my old haunts," he suggested.
*Eris*
He laughed.
"Sounds like a plan to me... I want to see where you'd hang..."
*Sirius*
He chuckled.
"You want me to take you through the gay clubs of London?" he quipped.
*Eris*
He laughed.
"Sure, I don't care... It's a day away from Hogwarts."
*Sirius*
He chuckled as he headed off quickly away from St. Mungo's.
"Well, not sure if the gay clubs are open yet. Up for getting a lap dance?"
*Eris*
He laughed.
"Oh gods, Bastien would kill me if he... she... whatever found out..."
*Sirius*
He chuckled.
"You chickening out on me?"
*Eris*
He smiled slyly.
"Well... He's not gonna find out... is he... she.. Whatever!"
*Sirius*
He chuckled.
"Right then," he said, leading Eris into Knockturn Alley and taking a series of familiar turns.
*Eris*
He follows him, laughing.
"You sure do know your way around..."
*Sirius*
He smiled.
"Been here occasionally," he said, leading Eris to a dark building where he made a series of knocks before the door opened. Holding the door open for Eris, he nodded for her to go in.
"He's with me. I just want to show him a good time," he said to the bouncer.
*Eris*
He did her best to smile reassuringly and followed along behind Sirius.
*Sirius*
Sitting down near the stage, he raised an eyebrow at Eris.
"You alright?"
*Eris*
He smiled.
"Of course I'm all right! This is gonna be awesome!"
*Sirius*
He grinned and motioned one of the dancers over for Eris.
"Give the lad a good show, would you?"
*Eris*
He grinned cheekily and stared up at the girl.
"Yeah, gimme a good show please!"
*Sirius*
He called over another girl for himself as he kept an eye out on Eris and his girl. Letting his own stripper run her hands over the bandages on him, he played up the injured war hero card as the girl danced on his lap before looking over at Eris.
"Having fun?"
*Eris*
He never looked away from the stage.
"Oh yeah, definitely... Ummm.. am I supposed to tip?"
*Sirius*
"Don't worry about it. We'll just put it on my account," he said with a grin as he ran his good hand over a girl's hips.
*Eris*
He grinned.
"Well in that case... You there... lap please!*
He gestured at a half naked girl who complied happily.
*Sirius*
He chuckled.
"That's my boy..." he teased, elbowing Eris good naturedly.
*Eris*
He smiled and laughed at Sirius.
"This is interesting..."
*Sirius*
He chuckled as he caressed a girl's ass, murmuring appreciatively.
"Mmmm.. very interesting..."
*Eris*
He just leans back and enjoys, taking cues from Sirius, not sure how much they're allowed to get away with at this club.
*Sirius*
He leaned over.
"You can touch you know. She'll let you know if you've gone too far. Besides, you're new here, young and cute - she might let you get away with more," he whispered, pulling back before a set of breasts were dangled in front of Eris' face.
*Eris*
He blinked a moment.
"Wow... I can see why guys dig this sort of thing!"
He just smiled happily and let the girl do as she would, rubbing and caressing at appropriate intervals.
*Sirius*
"For an extra fee, this place is full service," he added before leaning back in his chair and enjoying the show he was getting.
*Eris*
He kept smiling.
"That's cool... not necessary, but cool..."
*Sirius*
"Bastien taking care of things?" he teased.
*Eris*
He laughed.
"Maybe... someday.. hopefully..."
*Sirius*
"Well, enjoy the ladies, I'm paying," he teased.
*Eris*
He laughed.
"I don't think I'm going to be able to enjoy them much more than this..."
*Sirius*
"They can help you out if you want? Or would you rather see boys in leather?" he asked.
*Eris*
He laughed again.
"Yeah, I know... and through no fault of their own... But I don't think I'm quite that bisexual anymore..."
*Sirius*
He smirked.
"They've got boys upstairs," he suggested.
*Eris*
He leaned forward, nuzzling a breast experimentally.
"Yeah, I'm sure they've all got lovely diseases."
*Sirius*
He chuckled.
"Well, you don't have to do anything. Could just let them dance for you.."
*Eris*
He waggled a finger at Sirius.
"You are trying to corrupt me Mr. Black!"
*Sirius*
He laughed.
"I'm doing nothing of the sort," he teased.
*Eris*
He smirked.
"Good. Because I got all the corruption I needed over the summer... And this... This isn't doing it for me... Sorry ladies... Big tips for you all though and the one armed man's tab..."
*Sirius*
He chuckled as he got to his feet and blew one of the girl's a kiss before leading Eris' upstairs to a room filled with young boys dancing in various states of undress and in revealing costumes.
"This more to your liking?"
*Eris*
He smiled a bit.
"Yeah... but... if it's all the same to you... I think it's time to go... I should get back before I'm missed... This... this reminds me of things I'd rather not be reminded of."
*Sirius*
He looked at Eris quizzically before shrugging one shoulder.
"As you wish," he said before going back downstairs and settling the bill.
"I'd offer you an escort back to Hogwarts, but I doubt it would mean much. You going to be okay, kid? "
*Eris*
He nodded.
"Yeah, I had fun. Like I said before, you're pretty cool when you're not the voice of authority. Just... trying to keep my head on straight, right? And rooms full of scantily clad people aren't going to help that... as interesting a diversion as they were..."
*Sirius*
"Well, I'm full of interesting diversions," he teased as he led Eris out of Knockturn Alley.
"You'll be fine getting back on your own?"
*Eris*
He smiled.
"That's me. Fine on my own. Yeah, I'l be all right getting back... I snuck out just fine didn't I? And security's a mess like always."
*Sirius*
He chuckled.
"As long as it's not drastically better now that I'm gone," he teased as he made his way back towards St. Mungo's.
"You're welcome to come visit anytime. I like talking to you."
*Eris*
He nodded.
"Yeah, I probably will... I like talking to you too... And I could use a male figure to look up to, now that I'm a teenage boy and all that..."
*Sirius*
He chuckled.
"Well, I'm not sure I'm the ideal role model, but whether you're a boy or a girl, you're welcome to talk to me."
*Eris*
He laughed.
"Well, I'm not exactly brimming with options. Well, I guess Cho's a boy now too... But she doesn't exactly like the attention..."
*Sirius*
"I doubt she's the perfect role model either," he said with a chuckle as he stopped across the street from St. Mungo's, rubbing his shoulder as he sighed and looked at the door to St. Mungo's.
*Eris*
"Is there a prefect role model?"
He looked around quickly and gave Sirius a hug.
"Get well soon, old man."
*Sirius*
He wrapped his good arm around her and squeezed her.
"I'll try," he teased before patting her good naturedly and crossing the street and heading back into St. Mungo's to face an angry healer.
