Sirius & @regal-hearted Location: Alleyway by the Ministry, the day after the attack
Dogging his brother’s steps in the literal sense hadn’t been part of the plan, with Padfoot making an appearance by the entrance of the Ministry and loyally remaining there until Regulus left for lunch. Predictable as always, there was no silencing the bark of a laugh that escaped upon realizing the suspected routine was still the same. He kept a distance, only shifting once certain there were no eyes on him, and it was just him and Regulus in the alleyway.
“Good to see you’re alive and scar-free,” Sirius announced and fell into step beside Regulus, taking the liberty of looping his arm around his brother’s for good measure. “A pity the wolf couldn’t have gone after Malfoy’s stupid face.”
