![]() ![]() You look like you haven’t seen the sun in a month.” “Of course I do.” He rolled his hazel eyes, before stepping out from behind the counter, approaching Cass with a mixture of emotions on his face. The girl – Marianne, glanced between Connor and Cass, before nodding. “Marianne, can you cover the rest of my shift? I’ll do yours next week, swear it.” Had he dyed it?Ĭonnor turned to the girl next to him, who had just finished checking out the items of an elderly woman. “I missed you too.” He ran a hand through his hair, which had grown a shade darker since she’d last seen him, from a sandy blonde to having an orangish tint, reminiscent of Ana’s coloring. “I missed you.” Her voice was raw, desperate, and suddenly, she felt like crying. ![]() He turned around, brow creased, but when his eyes met hers, they lit up, like a child being told that Christmas had come early. When she spotted Connor, his back turned as he organized the cigarettes behind the register, she let out a sigh of relief. She pushed open the glass door roughly, setting off a bell, but she ignored it as she made her way to the counter. She had no idea why, she had no idea what she would say to Connor, assuming he was even there, but she knew she needed to see him. The first thing Cass did when she met the fresh September air, was walk to Dan’s Convenience.

This seemed to amuse Sirius, as the corners of his lips drew upwards. ![]() Not that I care much, at this point, I’d prefer he just kill me now and get it over with.” Apparently, I’m a target for You-Know-Who, having bested him or whatever. “Neither am I, and you don’t see me stomping about.” Besides, what else am I supposed to do? I’m not allowed to leave.” Nearly every time she saw him, she had to momentarily calm herself down, remind herself that he was an innocent man. It was still shocking, sometimes, to see the man who she had once thought to be a murderer roaming about the halls of the place she lived. She’d expected to see Barty, but instead, Sirius Black rested against the wall at the top of the staircase, his hand on the railing. She’d certainly grown tired of him popping up everywhere, scaring her half to death every time.Ĭass jumped, a yelp escaping her lips, as she whipped around. After nearly two weeks of being away from Hogwarts, she was going mad.Īt least Barty was nowhere to be seen. There was nothing to do, no books left to read, no potions to brew, no spells to practice. I don't write smut btw, any form of sexual content will always be fade to black, BUT just in case anyone is uncomfortable with that, I recommend skipping this chapter :)Ĭass paced back and forth down the hall of Grim Old Place, passing her bedroom door over and over as she counted her steps.
