Chapitre 204: Sirius Black
Olivander scrutinized Sirius for a moment with a stern expression before sighing "Time has not been kind to you it seems , you look like a totally different person than the Sirius Black in my memory. A bright handsome young man left like this , you have my pity." he said honestly. Sirius shook his head with a look of acceptance "I have accepted that I cannot turn back the hands of time , no need for pity. Now about your apprentice?" Sirius said with a smile. Olivander was about to turn around to go get Nick but stopped when Nick stepped out of the back of the shop.-
He was still covered in wood dust and had the now chicken sized ho-ho that he had named Dusk sitting on his right shoulder. "No need to get me , I heard the entire conversation." Nick said calmly. Looking at Sirius he noticed that the man while certainly not young looking still had a noble handsomeness to him as well as a decent amount of muscle under the suit that hid it well. "It seems that your stay in St. Mungos was quite useful for your recovery , you are not as scrawny as I assumed." Nick said honestly.-
Sirius chuckled "The medi-witches took good care of me even if they were a bit strict for my tastes." he said cheerfully. Nick nodded before looking at Olivander "Do you mind if I finish up later if I bring back dinner?" he asked and the old man smiled and nodded "Take your time and do remember nothing bitter." he said and Nick chuckled before walking out to the store with Sirius following behind him. Once out of the shop Nick turned to Sirius "Shall we talk over dinner? I know of a perfect place that is nice and private with exquisite food." Nick said with a grin in his best Dumbledore impression knowing Sirius would get it.-
Judging from the laughter of the man Nick was sure that he had assumed correctly. "Ha , Been quite a while since I had a good laugh like that , thank you." Sirius said sincerely grateful. Nick shrugged "I try my best , though the offer was completely true." he said with a wide grin. Sirius beamed "I'm sure we'll get along famously you and I. Lead the way." he said happily and Nick headed towards Crumonte's.-
Sirius was quite surprised when he saw the restaurant a few minutes later in a clearly seldom visited corner of diagon alley. "You weren't joking when you said it was private , I didn't even know it existed until now." he said casually. Nick chuckled "I found it by accident myself but it is easily my favorite place to dine these days." he said honestly. Nick then led the way into the store which set off the bell he was quite familiar with these days. Soon the old man walked out of the back and smiled when he saw Nick "Ah Mr. Ravenclaw and you brought a guest! What a treat!" the old man said seeming genuinely happy to see Nick and Sirius.-
Nick greeted the old man with a smile before taking a seat at his usual table where Sirius sat across from him. The old man brought a couple of menus to the two of them before waiting patiently for them to choose a beverage. "I'll have a spiced lemonade." Nick said after reading the options. "I'll take a butterbeer , thanks." Sirius said with a smile. The old man shared a look with Nick who could only shrug back.-
Out of all the interesting options Sirius chose a butterbeer which clearly made the old man think Nick's guest lacked the gourmet inclination that Nick had. "It's not that I don't want to try anything else , just that the potions I'm on won't let me." Sirius explained and the old man nodded in understanding before heading into the back of the shop to get the drinks. "I assume you've gone to see Harry already?" Nick asked gaining Sirius's attention again. The man shakes his head with a guilty look on his face. "How could I dare to show my face around Harry until that rat bastard gets kissed by a dementor?" he said with clear regret on his face.-
"Looks like you have about two days left then , the man is set to receive his kiss on Friday night." Nick said and Sirius nodded. "He definitely deserves it after what he did. But enough about that I came to thank you for setting me free and clearing my name." Sirius said controlling his emotions. Nick waved it off "I didn't do it for you , but Harry. Though I admit that there is something I want in your possession." he said thinking of a certain locket hidden away by the demented house elf.
