All right.

Bea's down for the night.

Kreacher's Merlin knows where.

Let's have it, then. I know, I know, I'm an utter prat. What else?

Comments

[alt_lupin]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[alt_sirius]

Bollocks.

I don't mind if you're cross but I'd rather you hex me than shut me out like you've been doing.

Go on and say whatever you've been so obviously trying not to say the last two days.

[alt_lupin]

It's funny you think I've been 'shutting you out.'

What exactly ought I to be doing differently?

[alt_sirius]

I see.

So now I have to supply your half of the row myself, too?

Bloody brilliant.

How many words have you said since Dora and I got back? I've counted seven. How many times have you reached down to pat your old Padfoot on the head or scritch behind his ear? And I'm not going to describe what it's like to lie in bed next to someone who obviously would rather be sleeping alone.

Look. I know we scarpered off on you. I'm sorry, yeah? If things had been different we could have left Bea with Ellie and all gone but - well, it wasn't different.

So ... just - stop pretending you're not angry.

[alt_lupin]

You left me a note.

[alt_lupin]

You went away -- you and Dora both -- to risk your lives, to try to get to Ireland, and you couldn't even be arsed to take five minutes to find me and say a proper goodbye? YOU COULD HAVE DIED. You could have died like Benjy and Emmeline and I WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO SAY GOODBYE TO YOU, you thoughtless, impatient, sodding idiot.

[alt_sirius]

....

Oh.

[alt_sirius]

You were asleep

I didn't think we'd really get there.

I just

[alt_sirius]

I was just so

You're right. Impatient's right. I was going a bit mad, actually, with the thought of them all over there and me almost a prisoner in our own home.

That didn't come out right.

I

Bugger all. I knew you'd be upset we hared off but you're right I wasn't thinking about it like that.

I guess I really am pants at this sort of thing, yeah?

[alt_lupin]

That's no excuse.

[alt_sirius]

Sorry, was I making an excuse?

My mistake.

Next time I'll wake you up?

[alt_lupin]

There's an idea, you berk. WAKE ME.

[alt_lupin]

Maybe even HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT and SAY A PROPER GOODBYE.

[alt_sirius]

Right.

Is it still deserted over there?


Because you could pack in and then say a proper welcome back.

[alt_lupin]

That's a brilliant idea. If I come over there I can hex you properly.
