In Sympathy | Sirius x Narcissa

Saturday couldn't come soon enough, getting dressed in his usual fashion, he pulled on a black button down shirt as well as some slacks. Today would be the day he was taking Narcissa with him to Diagon Alley, hoping that Black would actually show was beyond him. They were meeting at the entrance to Diagon Alley outside the Leaky Cauldron. Like hell he would be caught dead in Knockturn Alley with a blood traitor, he decided to stick to the lighter side of things. After all a public appearance never hurt the Lestrange family, and hopefully that too would ease Sirius of all foreboding thoughts.

Coming down into the common room Rabastan's eyes searched for the blonde girl he talked to earlier in the week. He wasn't sure if she was up for it, but he would stick to his word, as that was what a Lestrange would do. If Narcissa was nervous, he would force her to go, as simple as that. "Cissy, are you ready to go? I'd rather not be late." Crossing his arms across his chest he looked at the Black girl and smiled. What the Slytherin body knew, was that fact that Rabastan happened to be taking Narcissa to Diagon Alley to find Integra something particular. What better person to go with than Narcissa, who happened to like the more feminine things.

"They're expecting us at one, and I'd rather not have them give up the reservations to someone else." Of course he was talking about Sirius, one thing that drove him up the wall was his ability to stoop so low and talk to a blood-traitor, but if it would make Narcissa happy, then so be it. Why exactly was he going out of his way to condone such behaviour from someone who revels in the fact they are pureblooded is still way too far beyond him, but Rabastan promised her that he would help her. "Ready to head out?"

The pair filtered out of the common room "no need to thank me, I don't want people knowing about this," he spoke quietly as them moved on. Finally they made it quietly to Hogsmeade where they met up with a house-elf that would get them to Diagon Alley in an instant. Rabastan grabbed onto Narcissa's hand and linked the two of them with the gnarly looking elf, who served the Lestrange family. His ears were torn in several places, and his cloth was a complete mess, but Rabastan needed to get there quickly and quietly without anyone noticing where exactly he had gone.

A faint pop echoed through the town of Hogsmeade as Narcissa and Rabastan were torn from this reality, through a loop and landed safely in front of the Leaky Cauldron. Keeping Narcissa on her two feet, he released her arm and looked around. A large clock across the street of shone that it was five to one and they were to meet Sirius on the other side. "C'mon he might already be here." Nodding to the patrons of the pub, Rabastan moved toward the back nearly dragging Narcissa along. Tapping the correct pattern the wall opened up to reveal the bright and sunny alley that was Diagon.

Black wasn't in sight, not yet at least and he leaned against a wall out of the harsh beams of sunlight. His hair still tied back at the base of his neck as he watched Narcissa. "After you have your little rendezvous with your cousin, I'm going to actually need your help finding something for Echoes. You seem to have impeccable taste, and expensive qualities that she may find interesting and enticing."

Narcissa had no idea what she was doing, in turn she was actually rather afraid. She did not know where to turn and only person she could think of, was to speak to her cousin. Sirius seemed to actually think much differently then what they were raised to believe. Sirius did not know anything about her, how different she truly had become. She was pacing back and forth most of the time, trying not to get onto Rab's nerves which was actually rather hard to do. And she was thinking about the rift in there family and that made her stop.

Looking down to the ground as she closed her eyes, once they were a good family. But then the teachings came, making her and her sisters pay for it. Deep down she had no idea what to think or what to do, her eyes looked around to try and figure out what was wrong. Her blue eyes scanned the area as she leaned against the wall. She sensed someone there and did not know who it was exactly. Narcissa had tried different things in her life, but right now she just felt very lost, and hated it more then anything.

But then she heard Sirius speaking with Rab and it was then she slowly began to walk out of the darkness, at first the only thing to view was the sound of her shoes. The sound of her shoes came before her appearance did as she walked up to Sirius he looked good that she would admit and everything in her just wanted to hug him. To beg him for help, but that was bloody weak and would never do that to herself. She did have to have some kind of dignity here. And she silently took a deep breath.

Letting it out as she placed her hand on her hip looking at him, something about Sirius was different but would not ask. "Sirius" She said. No hate in her voice just a lot of uncertainty. Brushing a strand of blond hair out of her eyes as she sighed a little. "Yes it has been much to long, but that is my own bloody fault. I find myself stumbling in the darkness Sirius. Bellatrix wanting power, my other sister to wrapped up in her silly life. And Me I have nothing, though that is my own fault I know. But I want to come out of the shadows of my sisters, to become my own person"
