Andante - R. Lupin

69.

"Do try to get home my dear but send an owl at your earliest convenience otherwise," Perseus told her

She went into the room and kissed both of her brother's cheeks and hugged them before she went upstairs to pull toby into the fireplace. He wrapped his arm tightly around her and called his address out, within a flash ally stumbled out the fireplace.

Toby lost his footing and she fell on Toby with a loud thud. He let out a loud groan and she cackled into his shoulder. Sirius watched the two friends from where he was sat drinking his tea and couldn't help but laugh. He stood up and held both his hands out. Ally beamed up at him and took his hand as he pulled her up.

She'd only seen Sirius a few days ago but she missed him. He tickled her sides before helping his boyfriend up off the ground. It wasn't long before Luke popped out the fireplace and smiled at the trio.

"You guys look great, do you want a picture? Toby bought a muggle camera," Sirius said

Ally nodded and got in the middle of the two boys, Toby passed Sirius the camera from the shelf behind them. Luke ruffled Toby's hair and Ally pulled her best grin as Sirius snapped the picture.

He smiled and waited for the Polaroid to print before showing them as it developed. Ally smiled and walked over to the alcohol cupboard that Sirius and Toby had and poured herself a glass of gin. She poured Toby a vodka and Luke a whisky and they all sat down on the sofas. Ally noticed that Sirius and Toby had a muggle television. It made sense considering Toby was a half-blood but she didn't expect Sirius to have one.

"Tobes, I'm going to James'. I'll see you later," he kissed Toby and waved to Ally and Luke before he went through the fireplace.

Toby pressed play on the record player and they all took a big sip of their drinks. Ally had missed the group dynamics and sitting and listening to the songs they would listen to in Hogwarts made her feel nostalgic. She'd been feeling that a lot.

"Okay so, life updates Lukey go," Toby pointed

"Start uni next month, what about you Tobes?"

"My radio show for Quidditch commentary will be up and running by November, Allystar you're up,"

"Okay don't ever call my Allystar, you can tell you're Siri's boyfriend. Train with Perseus from the first of September," she shrugged

The boys noticed ally wasn't too enthusiastic because she had her heart set on legislation but they couldn't help but think Ally would be a good teacher. The two boys were also proud of how Ally had been conducting herself in the auror missions.

A few days ago Toby had been in one and saw Frank and herself dialling and Toby thought she was great. She used her wandless magic to her advantage and only used her wand when she felt she could gain the upper hand to help frank. She was effortlessly talented at what she could do and Toby couldn't believe it was the same scared little girl who had been made fun of all of them years ago.

"When's the next or—"

"I swear to Merlin if you ask about the order I will hex you, Tobias. This is a no life-sucking zone okay? It's a fun night of us getting drunk and each of you going home to your one true loves," ally told them
