A. Kensington, Early July.

[If he's being honest, Sirius isn't sure how he's going to repay Annie and her grandmother for the hiding place. It's been nice to be able to lay low and stay out of sight for a few days, not having to worry if he's smelling vampires as he walks down the street or wonder if they know what he is. But, after a few days, Sirius finds he starts to feel restless. He doesn't like being cooped up in a house all day, even if it the smarter thing to do. Even though the house is hardly a prison, it starts to feel that way and Sirius finds he needs to get outside.

Maybe just a walk around the block, as a dog. A loveable stray going for a sniff in a back lane isn't anything out of the ordinary, is it? Safety be damned, he needs this. He won't be gone long, he justifies to himself. Just enough to stretch his legs and get some fresh air.

Needless to say, there's a large black dog wandering around the neighbourhood now. Mostly he's keeping his attention to fire hydrants and trees, while resisting the urge to chase some squirrels or birds.]

B. [Hillingdon, Mid-July]

[Sirius is once again at the job board, surreptitiously checking to see if his wanted poster has made it's way back on to the board, but also to see if there's any jobs available. He hasn't been doing too many bounties, since he's not strictly a hunter, but there's often a small one around that helps to keep the money coming in. And he likes having money, it's been very helpful. It's unfortunate that most of them have to do with vampires these days, which is something he'd rather not deal with.

Eventually he grows bored of this and makes his way into the kitchen, looking for something to do or someone to talk with, before settling on seeing if there's anything to eat about. Or possibly cause trouble for the next person to open that cupboard.]

C. [Wildcard]

[Have another idea or would like something specific? Go ahead or let me know.]

[Annie doesn't care about Sirius paying her back. Neither does her grandmother. As far as they're concerned, they have plenty of space in their home, and not giving it to those in need is a huge waste. But she knows Sirius will try to pay her back all the same. Though, as she's told him, it's not needed.

She's on her way back from spending the night with Finnick, walking down the street on her way back from the tube, when she notices the dog.

She's actually never seen Sirius in his dog form before.]

Oh, hullo there, [she coos, looking at the dog.] Are you lost, puppy?

Roddy hadn't even known the teacher had been murdered when police had shown up to question him. Still, from things that were said when they were talking to him, he knew that things looked very bad for him and his dad. They were still gathering more evidence before making any official arrests related to the case, but that wasn't really helping his dad at the moment. Namely because his dad punched the officer. Not that Roddy could blame him, since he only did it because they were making Roddy sound like a criminal, but assaulting an officer was still a legitimate reason for arrest.

He'd tried contacting people at his old school, but even the girl he'd dated when he went there seemed to think he probably did it, which was enough to convince him that that was well and truly over. He'd tried contacting the one person who had seen him at the party on the night of the murder (at least, the only one who had seen him out of his mask), but he'd apparently left town.

It was starting to feel like the universe was conspiring against him lately, and so Roddy decided to seek out the one person he knew who had experience with this sort of thing.

"Sirius?" he asked when he spotted him at the job board. The Hillingdon House had been the one place he'd known to look for him, so the Hillingdon House was where he went. "I need your help."
