Well today had certainly been interesting for Sirius. DADA was the start of it, and the rest of the classes were kind of boring. But no what was interesting and annoying were the looks of pity and in some cases fear. Why? Who knows, but he didn't really care. He wasn't going to lash out at people, nor was he going to ask questions. The weird thing though was that his friends had disappeared, James to the owlery, Remus and the rat to god knows where. So here he was all by his lonesome, not that he minded, heading into the Great Hall for a bite to eat.

Upon walking into the hall, Sirius spotted Rose, who was a frequent visitor to the Gryffindor table sitting there eating and reading some book. Which he hoped wasn't a text book, otherwise he'd have to call her a typical Ravenclaw. "Fancy seeing you here Rose." Sirius said with a small smile before sitting down next to her and grabbed some food for himself. After taking a bite and a drink, he asked. "What are you reading?" It was polite conversation, something that he was sure all fifth years needed.

He let out a laugh. "Yay! something other than a textbook."

A muggle book, well that was interesting. He had read a few himself, courtesy of Lily, and those he had read while out and about in the city, during his stays at Grimmauld Place. "I've read a few of those. They're quite interesting." Sirius liked to read something, as long as it was interesting and held his attention. "I'm sure he picked it up in a muggle bookstore. And no I don't know what the main character's name is nor do I know what it is about." 

Sirius was curious now. "So what is it about? And who is the main character that you asked about?" After saying that Sirius grabbed his fork and ate some more of his food while he waited for Rose to enlighten him about her new book.

"True that. Hears to not being a total bookworm." He toasted her, while raising his glass.

Giggling? Well that probably didn't bode well for him. He spluttered a moment as she read, and he felt his mouth open a little bit. "Well that's cool, that we share the same name, but..." He wasn't sure how to put this, except for one way. "...what the hell?! That is just messed up. Oh, you have to go live out a full life as a dog, while searching for some tool, and has to get or he can just die, and that's it." Sirius, while he was still curious, he wasn't sure he wanted to read that book. They way she read off the summary, Sirius at first had thought that she was pranking him since it sounded like some straight forward, command/direction that he had to take in his life. But then his mind caught up with what he had heard and he had lent over, since he was sitting next to her, and had read the back as well. 

"Now that is just messed up Rose. And get that smirk off your face, it isn't funny." Okay maybe it was as he felt the corners of his mouth twitch and try to force a smile onto his face.

"I'm sure you don't." He agreed not believing her. 

"Obviously, For a second with how you read it I thought that it was a prophecy at first. You're just not right in the head." He answered her questions. Sirius was having fun, and maybe this day wasn't going to be completely f'd up. What with how it started out. And Professor McKay trying to intimidate them with his knowledge and him being a supposed auror. "I'm gonna find out if he actually is one." Sirius mumbled to himself. There was something fishy going on. Marlene was right, an auror afraid/nervous to teach a bunch of fifteen year olds. 

"I know they don't Rose, but at the same time what if the author was a squib?" That was a valid point wasn't it?

He didn't believe her but oh well. "If you don't lie then it must be half truths." He declared. Sirius smirked when she called him a goofball. Only sometimes, as of late. Not so much. Things had changed for him over the summer. That being one of them, him deciding to be a bit more serious, but not all of the time because that would just be boring.

"Of course it's just a book after all." Sirius didn't put any stock in prophecies nor divination, as he figured you do the best at life with what you are given, and no one can dictate how you live it. That was part of the reason he was so rebellious, and part of why he got kicked out of the family.

"Are you sure that it isn't the other way around Rose? I mean the star could be named after me." He said knowing full well that he had been named after the star that had been named many centuries ago by some astronomer.

"Sorry to burst your bubble, but I will never let my head get that big. If I did then that'd make me James" Sirius joked. Sure he had an ego but right now jokes would help put normalcy into their day which was drawing to a close, especially after the giant mess defense against the dark arts had been.

"Oh and how are they better than the full truths?" He asked, knowing that the answer to that could go in any direction. He'd never lie to her, nor would he ever tell her a half truth as that never got him anywhere. It seemed like they were avoiding talking about class, and the things that had been revealed. In his opinion McKay was an idiot. Trying to play a passive role, but clearly supporting Snape. Even though he did try to keep the class on topic.

"I could do it now if you'd like?" He said while grabbing a stick that he had just summoned from out side, and waved it about. "This should work." Sirius said with a smirk. "Obliviate." He muttered while pointing the stick at an owl that had landed not to far down the table. "Damn, it didn't work." he said dejectedly.

She had a point there, but he had almost always been honest with those he cared about. He'd never withhold information from them unless it was to protect them from something. So yes she was right. 

Rose was avoiding his gaze, and that was never a good thing. So he did the only thing that he thought would be the best for him to do as she spoke and he scooted closer to her and put his arm around her. It clearly left the option for Rose, to either look at him or not, and either way it didn't matter to him. "I think if you give him some time he'll come around." He began trying to think of what to say. there wasn't much to say. "Rose he never told James or I what his or your home life was and is like, except that it wasn't the most ideal." Remus hadn't told him or James, and Sirius didn't hold it against his friend, and his other brother in all but blood. "You found out like any curios person would, and it is better that he knows that you know. He was trying to protect you." That was one thing he was grateful for and that was how loyal and protective Remus was of those that he cared about. 

In a low voice so no one could overhear him. "Rose, I haven't told the others this yet, but I got kicked out of my family this summer, for good. And I'm not going back." Sirius had no idea what made him say it but here he was telling Rose, the girl whom he considered the sister that he never had, about what had happened this summer. "I don't know where I'll be living after this school year is over. And all of my things just so happen to be stashed in my trunk. So I guess I could go anywhere but..." Well that was all pish posh since he knew for a fact that James' parents would be fine with him living there full time. "Maybe, once I talk to James' mum and dad, I'll just stay there full time. But that I'm not sure if they will be fine with me staying there." What the hell was he talking about they loved him, hell he even called them mum and dad, since he was there so much. It almost sounded like he thought that they didn't want him. He seriously wanted to beat himself up at the moment. Here Rose was telling him something important and he just had to go and talk about himself. Idiot.

"Now enough of my problems, just speak your mind Rose, I'm here to listen." He told her giving her a squeeze as he still had his arm around Rose and had pulled her close in a show of support and hopefully comfort.
