Back from the veil

Chapter 16 : quiddich tryouts

It's been almost two hours since Sirius started his shif in front of borgin & burke. He of course had changed his appearance to look like a blond man with brown eyes and and was using a desillusionment spell. Some weird people have entered the shop but nothing that kept his attention. He was slowly getting quite bored but of course nothing really interesting would have happened on the first watch out. Bill took the first shift and did not notice anything strange either.

He saw a small witch with brown hair looking way less shady than the people he was prior stationing in front of the shop like she was looking for something.

"Damn where is he? He should be here to shift place with me" cursed the witch.

That's when he realised who it was.

"Hestia?" Asked Sirius while removing the desillusionment charm.

"Wow, you scared me ! I didn't noticed you and I forgot how you were disguised" Hestia startled before responding

"Sorry, didn't mean to, I just used a desillusionment charm for more safety and you're early" replied Sirius casually in a whisper to not let any disturbing ear catch what they were talking about

" I see, anything weird during the time you were here?"

"Nah, nothing more than usual, shady people coming in and out but no known or suspected death eater"

"Okay, good to know. I guess it would be too easy to spot something interesting right away"

"My guess exactly, good luck for those two hours, constant vigilance as you know who would say" joked Sirius

"I'll tell you and the others if I see anything weird by patronus, have a good rest" answered Hestia with a smile. She was really questioning how this man with his casual behaviour could have been accused for the murder of 13 people. From the little she had seen him he really was nothing like the scary man she had seen on the daily prophet when he escaped Azkaban.

Sirius immediately transplanted to his house and was happy to see Hedwig carrying a letter from Harry. He rubbed her head and gave her some treats before sitting on the couch to read the letter

Dear Sirius,

Thanks for your letter, the treats and the book. I was actually going to write to you about it as I understood I forgot it but you were quicker.

First day was quite okay except for Snape who is a pain in the ass like always if not even more if that is possible.

I don't have the date yet for the first match but Mc Gonagall gave me the list of students who applied for the team and they are a few so I'll be spending free periods of the rest of the week doing tryouts. I'm quite stressed for my choice of a keeper because it is obvious I want to take Ron on the team but a lot of very good players are applying.

I also received a note from someone with whom we went on a small village with this summer who wants to give me extra lessons. Do you happen to know anything about it? I look forward to exchange with you properly about it soon.

I hope you're taking good care of yourself and everything is going well,

Harry

Sirius frowned reading the last part. Of course Harry was talking about Dumbledore but did not mentioned it clearly for safety measures. The fact that Dumbledore never mentioned that to him irritated him. The only reason he saw as to why was because it was probably not just lessons to make Harry progress and that Dumbledore clearly knew he wouldn't be thrilled about it. So it was obvious it had something to do with the prophecy and Voldemort.
