"Look at our idiots," Josette exclaimed as she tossed the prophet at Sirius, who failed to catch it and was hit in the face. "Lucius is going to kill me," she added.
Sirius opened the paper and saw a photo of Harry and his friends riding a dragon as they escaped from Gringotts. "What in the world!" he exclaimed.
"Let's not tell the others. We can say we couldn't get the papers for a few more days," Josette suggested.
"Why?" Sirius asked.
"They will obviously be worried, especially James," Josette replied. She made sure to lock the door behind her to ensure no one overheard their conversation.
"And we're not worried?" Sirius questioned.
"No, they are fine. When they run out of leads, they will come back. We need to focus on getting that vial from McGonagall," Josette pondered her options. The animals were not an option, as she couldn't take the risk, especially with the house being so full. Although there was a chance Voldemort already knows they are in Lysing Hail, he just can't do anything because of the enchantments. Still, they needed to be careful.
Josette leaned on the door, closed her eyes, and began to think. Sirius watched her and smiled to himself, still finding her amusing after all these years. It didn't even feel like they had been dating for decades, maybe because they had been on and off for years, not to mention the big break of thirteen years. Now, he couldn't wait to get married and start a normal life.
"What?" Sirius asked, as he hadn't heard her over his own thoughts.
"The two-way mirror you gave to Aberforth, do you still have yours?" she asked again.
Sirius shook his head. "It's at Grimmauld Place."
"We need to get it," Josette insisted.
"But it's dangerous," Sirius warned.
"They won't expect us to go back there. We'll be fine," Josette assured him.
"I'm coming with you," Sirius declared.
"Of course, I did say 'we', didn't I?" Josette laughed.
"I guess you did." Sirius chuckled, "It's just unusual of you."
"It was always a question of safety, Sirius, and right now you could probably take me out in a fight, so I'm going to start hiding behind you and push you forward," Josette half-joked, laughing.
"I would love that," Sirius said with a smile.
"So, as I was saying," Josette returned to the topic at hand. "We will get the mirror, tell Aberforth to contact Minnie if she ever visits Hogsmeade, and have him take the venom from her. We will figure out where to meet him later," she explained.
A few days later they went back to Grimmauld Place and as Josette had predicted it was empty though there were traps that would alert the death eaters so, they quickly found the mirror and returned before the death eaters could get there.
