Esme thought about it quickly. She had never really been afraid of heights but jumping off of a roof wasn't something she did everyday. Glancing over at Sirius she noted that he seemed pretty calm about the entire thing. And the Marauders, while they often got in trouble, never seemed to be injured....

"Yes. I trust you." she took the hand he was extending and grasped it firmly.

Sirius held her hand securely as he helped her onto the roof. "You can close your eyes," he murmured, leaning close as the wind continued to ruffle his hair, "if it makes you feel safer. But I won't let you fall. Ready?"

"Mhmm." she took a deep breath and squeezed his hand a bit. Her heart was pouding furiously.

"On three," Sirius said. "One. Two. Three." He jumped off the tower, pulling Esme with him, and they were falling, falling for one foot, two, ten...

and then they landed on the Cushioning Charm he had just cast. The air was puffy and soft, letting them sink slowly to the castle roof, fifteen feet below the Tower. Sirius grinned at Esme. "Told you I'd take care of you," he said. "Now, come on. We want the top of Ravenclaw Tower. It's over there." He pointed toward a peaked roof jutting up from another corner, the tallest tower at Hogwarts.

Esme couldn't help but laugh from the adrenaline rush. "Oh my goodness! That was.... oh my word!" she giggled. "Okay, I'm ready." she followed him to the Ravenclaw Tower and climbed up on the ledge, her hand still firmly holding his. She counted off this time and jumped with all her might.

Sirius settled them on the roof of Ravenclaw Tower, sprawled against the dark tiles and facing the mountains. The sun was about an hour away from sinking behind the peaks. "This is the best view at Hogwarts," Sirius informed Esme. It was also not one you should go to during the winter or after a rainstorm. The roof he was lying on was angled. Currently, it was dry, and the pitch was low enough that he wasn't going to slide off, but when wet, the tiles encouraged the shaky-footed to plummet from the top off the highest tower.

Esme made sure to keep steady as she eased herself down next to him. "Do you take everyone you know to such amazing places?" she asked curiously.

Sirius shrugged, drawing a knee to his chest and staring out at the mountains. "Depends. I take people here for various reasons. This is my spot. No one else comes up here, unless I bring them. Not even James. Unless he's looking for me." He closed his eyes and turned his face into the wind, letting it push his hair out of his face. "I don't bring everyone I date up here."

"Yeah." Sirius turned his head after a moment to look at Esme, opening his eyes to study her. "What," he asked, clearly trying to think of how to phrase his sentence, "do you... I don't know. Expect? Expect from this relationship?" It was hard for Sirius to read Esme, who would be encouraging one minute and then pushing him away the next, without any sort of warning that she didn't like what he was up to.
