Sirius shook his hair out of his face, smiling. "Marauder secret," he said. "This was the second tunnel we found. Alas, Filch knows about it too." He drew out the marble again, showing it to Esme. "If this turns green, we have to run for it. Means he's near. Black means he's actually in the tunnel. But don't worry. Blue means the coast is clear on all sides."

The marble would also change temperature as it changed color, so Sirius dropped it back into his pocket without a second thought. "You look beautiful tonight, Esme."

"Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself." she replied, surprised at how calm she was. "And I'm not worried, I came prepared and wore my running shoes."

Sirius laughed. "I'll have you know, about eighty percent of my dates do not include running. It's just those horrible disasters that get spread around."

When they reached the end of the tunnel, a dead-end, Sirius stretched up, touching the top of one long vertical stone. He ran his fingers down the middle, as if stroking it, and the whole wall gave a shudder. Suddenly, all the torches winked out. There was a moment of darkness, during which time Sirius reached back and took Esme's hand, squeezing it reassuringly, before he stepped forward, into the wall. It parted around him like a curtain, like a waterfall, but aside from a cool brush against his skin, there was no other feeling. "Welcome," he said, drawing Esme through the wall, "to Hogsmeade. Allow me to orient you." He turned, gesturing to the wall behind him. "This is the Hog's Head. Know where we are?"

"Of course, the barkeep and I talked a bit last year during my trips here. Abe's a good guy." she replied, looking around the room fondly. "He and my aunt dated once about a million years ago, but apparently she was a bit too wild for his taste."

"Abe's amazing," Sirius said, nodding to the barkeeper as he led Esme out of the bar. "Reminds me of someone..." There was a wicked edge to his smile. He knew perfectly well that the bartender was Dumbledore's brother, but that little fact was kept very quiet, at least within the bar itself. "For us, however, the Three Broomsticks will provide our drinks."

"Yeah, I know what you mean..." What no one else knew was that she and Abe were actually pretty close, and Esme had come to look at him almost as an uncle. He had listened to her drone on and on for endless times about any and everything in the world for quite a while now, and she was greatful for someone to talk to outside her usual circle of friends.

"The Three Broomsticks sounds great. By the way, I'm sorry for leaving everything to you. I was the one that asked you out and now you seem to be doing everything..." she trailed off, embarassed.

"Well..." Sirius shrugged, slipping his arm around Esme's waist. "Truth be told, we're almost at the end of my plans. The Three Broomsticks has less-dodgy butterbeer, so I thought we could slip in, get a few bottles, but then we'll have to slip out again, because Rosemerta will get curious if two Hogwarts students linger too late when no other students are around. We'll have to find someplace else to enjoy them, but it's a beautiful warm night. From that point on, I was going to play it by ear." He grinned at Esme. "If you'd like to plan that bit, though, be my guest."

Esme laughed. "Tag team, I like it." They headed into the Three Broomsticks and not ten minutes later were exiting with warm bottles of butterbeer clutched in their hands. "Okay, so random question time, for the simple reason that I don't know that much about you. What is your favorite thing to do, besides prank people, in your spare time?"

"Favorite thing? Fly." Sirius slipped his bottles in his bag and wrapped his arm around Esme again as they walked. "I love flying, being separate from the earth, speeding so fast that all your worries fall behind..." He tilted his head back, looking up at the stars. "I'd take you flying with me, if I had a broom." But those dark thoughts were pushed aside, and Sirius looked over at Esme. "What about you?" he asked. "Favorite thing to do?"

"I've been flying a few times before, my brother took me and then I eventually borrowed his broom every now and then. I know what you mean, it's a great deal of fun. The freedome alone is amazing." she paused for a moment, thinking.

"I love to dance." Esme announced. "Not any of that professional rubbish, but the kind of dance where you're in such a good mood and you can't seem to control yourself, and your body just moves. Spuratic, and sometimes silly... just letting lose and enjoying life. I also like staring at the sky, day or night, on top of a grassy hill." she giggled. "I must sound a bit off, but I love the simple things. I'm weird like that."
