Tant stared firmly into the rom and saw him just sitting there leaning on the wall...was he crazy? why wasn't he even attempting to make his way around her to leave, she knew personally if someone had kidnapped her shewould never stop kicking and screaming to be let go and would charge out the moment a close by door was opened in hope of escape...Never would she find herself calm to be able to sit along a wall and bearly notice that the door to freedom was just befront of her.
"Hi, productive venture?" Slowly she stepped in wondering what was with this cool act? Did he have something planned for her? her eyes flicked around the small room and saw nothing as he stepped over the thresold and closed the door behind her with her foot. She placed her foot down and gave a short nodd,"yeah a alright one." she replied placing the small bag paper bag back onto the table."I didn't find your wand out through, i didn't want to be out long enough to find it." she replied honestly, if someone had even witnessed her and the boys race through Knockturn Alley and ontop of the buildings, she deffintly shouldn't go back to the sceneand risk anybody reconizing her.
Sliding out the half loaf of bread and small carton of milk and gave a briefe smile, small luchuries did that to her these days., made her pleased and a little greatful to have them...pitty it wasn't just her in the house now she'd need to share it while meant less for her, oh well she couldn't be selfish all the time evn on the run. She contiued doing the small job of unpacking the bag and sticking whatever was needed into the brocken fridge before she sat back ontop of the table legs crossed as she nibbled onto two of the plain bread peices and somesliced chese between them.

Tant med shocked to find him sitting and leaning against the wall, he smiled to himself, she had no clue. There was no point in wasting hsi energy over the fact that he was stuck in here, plus she had a wand, and was clearly ready for his attack.
He shrugged when she explained why she didn't have his wand. She'd been gone long enough for her to be risking detection as it was. "Fair enough." he said and went back to staring at the ceiling, thinking that maybe his 'too cool for school' act would freak her out a bit, and enjoying that thought. He saw Tant glance between hima dn the food out of the corner of his eye. "You know, if you let me go, you wouldn't have to share." he said casually, taking a slice of bread and a piece of cheese.

"Fair enough." Tant tried not to eye him as she contiued to munch of the bread and chese, entiehr of them were nice qualty or exactly the freshes of foods but she had gotten what would seem to last a bit longer so hardish bread and cheese was it, through nother ever lasted long in a broken fridge, Luckily winter would only be a few more days away...wait lucky? this place was going to become a ice box! she realised as her eyes flickered around, there was deffintly not fire place in here....CRAP!
"You know, if you let me go, you wouldn't have to share." Tants grey eyes darted towards him and she snickered for a second, this was't going to be good, she didn't have enough clothes to keep warm and hell this boy had nothing.Ignoreing his calm tone she stared towards him,"where is it you live anyways?" she asked.

He continued to munch on the not-quite-fresh bread and the slightly rubbery cheese, he was almost startled when she asked where he lived. He thought for a moment as he chewed, about how much he was going to say about where he lived.
"I live in an old Victorian house that was converted into flats about ten years ago. It's about fifty miles east of London, give or take. The funny thing is that with Magic, it doesn't have to be a flat at all. I could put an extra floor in, using magic, and the neighbours would never notice. The basement is already ten times the size it was when I moved in."
He took another bite and studied her face. She was worried about something, perhaps its was the looming threat of winter in an apartment with no heating, and the likelihood that she could freeze to death. Despite what she had done, he was going to help her, one way or another. He looked through the open door into her tiny bedroom and out of the window, the sky was darkening. Had James alerted anyone about his no show? Would Addie and his brother be worried about him when he didn't show up, or just pass it off as a failing on his part. He didn't think so, Addie wasn't the type to worry, but she knew him better than that, and one look at his flat would tell them he hadn't been there for at least 24 hours.

The basement is already ten times the size it was when I moved in." Tant stared down, at first she thought about going there holding onto her wand and attempt to keep the situation in controll, but no that wouldn't work, for one she'd have to follow him there and she could easily be lead into some trap, that and he might live with other people, that wouldn't do any good for her one person knowing her where abouts had gotten her into this mess, she couldn't imagine what a lot of people knowing where she was could end her up in...accutally she did know, Azkaban, the thought of it made her shiver and suddenly not feel so hungry. she placed the bread back on the table and looked silently towards the broken pipes of the kitchen where dirty water ran from, when it came winter...and she had no hot water...those pipes would freeze up no doubt, and if they did that then she would dehydrate....no good, disstress rolled in and gave her a headache fairly quickly, she refused to keep staring at the boy and tried to distract her mind other wise with other thoughts.
"Do you like flying?" she asked quietly, she accutally did like the company of another person, her voice felt well better not so hoarse from lack of speaking, the small amounts of words she had said helped it a lot.

He seemed to have given her a lot to think about with his description of where he lived. He wondered what was going through her head for a moment, before she dropped the bread, suddenly not hungry. Sirius stared at her curiously as she moved away from him, she seemed to shrink in on herself, becoming smaller as though the severity of her situation was suddenly having even more of an effect on her than usual.
When she finally spoke Sirius noticed that her voice was no longer as hoarse as it had been when she had first brought him back here, almost as if she had gotten used to speaking again.
"I'm a professional Beater, of course I like flying." he replied follwing it with a short bark like laugh. "I can tell you do, your animagus being what it is."

"I'm a professional Beater, of course I like flying.", "I can tell you do, your animagus being what it is." Tant blushed and nodded looking away, she wasn't use to people pointing out her animagus form,"gives me a sence of freedom." she answered calmly, that was true who would think a dragonfly was accutally a girl on the run from the ministry...thinking of which she had that stolen wand for a while, she needed to get rid of it soon before they track it down or something she thought to herself glancing to the wand.
"Can't say im very good at Quittiage but I still like to fly." she replied truthfully, she wasn't very interested in the competive sports, but she still enjoyed to go fly abouts. That would be kinda hard around winter time as well...Dragonflys can't fly with heavy snow it wasn't right for them ot even be seen around that time of year untill all snow has landed and settled about ready to melt away...melt away. her eyes went to the small window, she was going to be snowed in by that exsit...her other glance went to the door and thought, she couldn't be seen going in and out of it all the time. "Bloody hell." she cursed to herself muttering low as she placed her chin on her knees trying to think right. Ok obvious thing to do, find new hiding place...first thing tomorrow she would go in search...Her eyes went to the boy, and what about him? Leaving him here and hope he does manage to break the door down and by the time he gets out she would of run far enough to not be found? And what if he dosn't managed to get out? he would freeze over the winter and would die, then she really wouldbe a murder.
Feelig as if she was thinking to much all at once and not getting anywhere, it wore he out quickly.

Sirius sighed and ran his hand through his hair, it needed cutting again, even if he could help he wasn't sure what good it would do her. Being a dragonfly made her feel free, like turning into a dog had made him. He leaned his head back against the wall and closed his eyes.
"I may not have done much today, but I'm tired, so I'm going to sleep." he announced and quickly followed it up with a yawn.
He wondered if his calm attitude towards being held captive against his will was strarting to freak her out yet. The truth was he hated it, missed the cool thin wood of his wand to twiddle nonchalantly between his fingers, but he wouldn't show it. He wanted to be tasting fresh air, not the slightly stale air that polluted this room. He wriggled his toes inside his shoe and they cracked loudly. He smiled to himself, that felt better. He relaxed against the wall and let his mind wander slightly, as he drifted into a half sleep.

"I may not have done much today, but I'm tired, so I'm going to sleep." Tants eyes narrowed at the boy and decided that was true, she often was tired being in this house she grew restless and impatient wanting to risk going outside, tomorrow she would need to go house hunting and then deicde what to do with Sirus she decided. "K night." she muttered sliding off the tables edge and walked into her own part of the appartment on the small pile or clothing, she noticed it felt cooler in here...probley because the windows been open the whole time she's gone and that it was coming close to the coldest weather, not thinking really she picked up one of her much to larget shirts and went to where the boy was she then lightly just placed it over him and then returned to her little made up bed. She kept the window open even when it was cold, this place dind't get much air not a good idea to go shutting the window.
Curling up into a tihgter ball she closed her eyes letting the days events roll through her mind, rushing through sorting more and more stress ontop of her shoulders causing as usual a uneasy sleep to roll in.

Sirius wasn't yet asleep when Tant laid a shirt over him, but he pretended he was and smiled to himself as she shut the door behind her. She was starting to think about him as more than just a hostage, first stage of making them let you go, make them think of you as a person. Let them know you understand, that you don't think they are a psycho, and that you like them, just want everything to turn out alright in the end. He opened his eyes and crawled under the table, transforming once he had arranged the shirt over himself. He fell asleep where he lay, one ear cocked for any sound from Tant's room, hoping she would move on soon and let him break down the door, or that Addie and Regs, or Even James and Lily would have raised the alarm by now.

Tants night martes where horriable they were a reliving moment of her brothers death, she shook and turned into her sleep screamed even at times where she was in most pain, she was sweaty and disgusting by the time her body allowed her to wake and once agian she felt worst when she woke then when she had fallen asleep, as if regretting she even tried to have a peaceful night. Her body covered in glinted spots of water, but she was shacking with cold. her chest raised and fell heavily to the quick patern of her breather. She lowered her head into her hand and breathed out trying to calm donw, remind herself it was a dream and that things where how they were now and where not going to go away...it was like her nightmare would never be only that.
Raising herself on shaky legs she crossed through the room forgetting the kidnapped boy was in there and to the sink where she let the water run and struck her hands into it, she didn't care if the water wasn't exactly clean she splashed her face and ignored the bursting of cold icy water hitting her. It woke her instantly more thrn what the nightmare had done."ah." she grasped now wiping away the water trying to save her dark skin from freezing off.
She sighed quietly she hoped she hadn't woken him, she needed to go for a walk or something and think about something more, her idea right now was to move on alone. Just forget aboutt he boy, let him stay here he'll probley get someones attention by yelling outt he small window or something, who knoows...maybe she can leave and pretend to lok the door then quickly run and hope he is ok in the end? Tant didn't know, but untill then she had to find a new warm place to go to for the winter, she felt like a hibernating bear in the mean time.

Sirius awoke suddenly when Tant started screaming and thrashing about in her sleep. He transformed and went over to the door, wondering if he should go in and wake her. His decision was made for him when she woke herself up and tried to calm herself down.
He moved away from the door and sat on the table, giving her space to do whatever she wanted before he talked to her. She came out and splashed her face with cold water out of the sink. She may not think so, but he had to help her, she may not know it, but this could so easily have been the life he was living.
"Tant? Do you want to talk about it? If you do I'm willing to listen, this isn't fair, life isn't fair, and you have no idea how close I came to being in the same situation as you are. Let me help you."
He slid off the table and stood in front of the door to her bedroom so that she couldn't hide, she had hidden long enough, this had gone on long enough. Too long, gone too far, Snape was behind this somehow, but how did this link with what he had tried to do to Addie?
"Please." he said for emphasis, he was not going to drop this, he would not let her down.

"Tant? Do you want to talk about it? If you do I'm willing to listen, this isn't fair, life isn't fair, and you have no idea how close I came to being in the same situation as you are. Let me help you." Tant stared at him frowning as he walked infront of her door waywhen she had planned on going rght back in there to ignore him, she stared at him and shook herhead,"Noo i don't want to talk about it." she answered her voice was firm for this, she had relived each moment again and again in her mind trying to find ways where she could of saved her brother, there was no way she wanted to speak it all outloud she couldn't.
"Please." She stared at his dark eyes and closed her own."I have nothing to say to you." was her replie in hopehe would shift away and she wouldn't have to take out her wand to be able to force him away...wait the wand, she couldn't feel it in her pocket, damn it was beside where she had slept. Staring at him not breaking the yee contacte in hope he would finally move awaya nd let her in her room so she could grab the ltitle peice of wood in which if she needed to would let her defend herself. Tant could see the difference between them, in a fight with hands and fist strength...she would lose.

She stood in front of him trying to stare him down, but it wouldn't work. He would not let this go, he would help her. He took hold of her upper arms, holding her to the spot she was standing, his grip was enough to let her know he meant business, but not enough t hurt her, he hoped.
"I can help you, I have money, I can get lawyers, private investigators, I can hide you. You will not get through this on your own, you can't leave the Country, and you can't stay here. I know your stolen wand is in there, otherwise you would have used it by now, and I can get to it quicker than you can. Let me help you!"
He was prepared for her to transform, ready to close his hands around the tiny animal form. He was also ready for her to try and fight him off, should she decide to be foolish and attempt it.

Tant went to step back as he stepped forwards his hands outstretched and landed on her forearms she flinched not likng anyone holding her anymore, it frightened her never did she want anyone close enough to drag her to a hell of a prizon. The boy was to close and she flinched her head turned tot he side her hair half covering her face as she squeezed her eyes shut childishly, she couln't look back at him with this close distance.
"I can help you, I have money, I can get lawyers, private investigators, I can hide you. You will not get through this on your own, you can't leave the Country, and you can't stay here. I know your stolen wand is in there, otherwise you would have used it by now, and I can get to it quicker than you can. Let me help you!" Her throat dried, damn he had noticed she had been foolih to leave the wand in there, it kind of made her angrey he accused her of not been able to not be able to hide on her own...maybe it was true to a point but she was doing so well to this point, beter the she ever though she could. her eyes had opened without her realising it and she stared with a absent expresstion to a wall closest to her thinking his words."You lie." she hissed shifting in hope he would let her go."People don't help me, people hate me thats the bottom line there." she said bitterly, she was never socialable enough for 'friends' and well it was obvious how much her parents hated er all for being able to use magic."Look...just, just leave." she said not beleiving she had said it,"I'll find somewhere else, Iff you think your such a great help then just get out." she said really right now just wanting his distance between him and her, her eyes moved to his face exspecting to see some aray of happiness to know she wanted him to leave and would allow it, through that meant she dind't have time to lay back, she would need to get her small amount of objects and run, go somehwhere far away and not connected to this place.
