"Speaking of which, shouldn't it be working hours at the Ministry of Magic now?" Allen was a little confused. He looked at Penello with some confusion.
"He must have skipped work again …" Penello raised her eyebrows. She put down the bottle and went to pull Allen. "Let's go somewhere else?"
Penello didn't want Sirius, a reckless person, to interfere with her and Allen's rare alone time and ruin their world. But it was too late. Sirius saw them. He was unhappy because Mrs. Rosmerta couldn't hold her liquor, but now he was happy.
Sirius waved at them, grabbed the snack bags, and walked to their table.
"You guys are slacking too?" Sirius's tone was very leisurely. He sat directly next to Allen and leaned against the back of the chair.
Penello, who was sitting opposite Allen, turned her face away to hide her impatience. This seat made it seem like she was the outsider.
Sirius threw the snack bags on the table and opened their mouths wider. The snack bags occupied the table in an instant. Some greasy explosives even slipped out of the bags and rolled onto the table.
"Why don't you try it while it's still hot? This damn weather is really cold. The oil on some of the things I bought earlier has already solidified …" Sirius grabbed the fried meatball that had fallen out and put it into his mouth. He then rubbed the oil off his hands on the chair.
The veins on Allen's forehead throbbed. He suppressed his anger at Sirius's carelessness. He picked up a piece of salad that Sirius hadn't touched and put it on his plate. Then he asked casually, "Is there anything going on in the Department of Mysterious Creatures Management and Control recently?"
"It's not a big deal. Besides, it doesn't have anything to do with it. Anyway, I sneaked out …" Sirius cut open a chocolate frog indifferently. He took out a picture of Portolemy and threw it aside. "Just like you two, they can't control me …"
Ellen didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Sirius say that he had sneaked away so openly and acted as if it didn't matter. Penello couldn't help but roll her eyes and ignore him. She just pretended to look at the scenery outside the window.
"My aunt actually allowed you to skip work …" Allen couldn't help but look askance at Sirius's blatant sneaking out.
Penello heard Ellen's sigh and turned around, "I have to ask for leave in the name of protecting my umbrella if I want to be lazy …"
"Every time I skip work, Josephine will try to catch me. At most, she'll just deduct my salary. Anyway, my salary has been deducted a long time ago." Sirius shrugged nonchalantly. There was a hint of slyness under his nonchalant appearance. "Your father, Owen, needs a pureblood family to show that Harris is just talking about the matter and not targeting the pureblood family … So, my existence as Blake is the best tool for the Ministry of Magic to keep up appearances." Sirius sounded smug. "So if it's just skipping work, Harris won't fire me. At most, they'll just deduct my salary. Anyway, I don't rely on that little salary to live. They can deduct it all they want … Besides, I didn't want to work in the first place. It was you and Lupin who forced me … I'll only be happy if they really fire me. Ever since Remus got my niece pregnant, he doesn't like to play with me … Damn it …"
Sirius and Penello were openly sneaking around in front of him. Penello also let it slip. As Owen's son, Allen felt a little awkward.
"Eh?"
Allen made a sound of confusion. He looked out the window and saw Josephine in the snow. She had a thick purple velvet hat on her head and a black cloak tightly wrapped around her body. She was carrying some shopping bags.
Seeing Sirius and Penello look over because of his voice, Allen thought for a moment and decided to remind them. "Aunt Josephine is outside the window. Sirius, do you want to hide?"
But to Allen's surprise, Sirius didn't panic at all. He turned his back to the door and window and said to Allen, "Oh, Josephine probably doesn't know I'm here. It's still early after work. If she sees me at this time, she'll naturally leave."
Ellen and Penello didn't understand the situation. Aunt Josephine walked closer and closer, leaving a trail of footprints on the snow-covered ground. But when she reached the window near them and walked to the door, Josephine, with a smile on her face, seemed to see the situation inside the window from the corner of her eye.
The smile on Josephine's face vanished. She let the shopping bag hover in the air. She tidied her hat and tugged on the cloak of a living bat. Then, she passed through the door and left along the road.
"Josephine and I have formed a tacit understanding now … At first, she did want to drag me back to the Ministry of Magic to work … She wanted to lecture me about work …" Sirius seemed to be relieved. He raised a fried meatball at the confused Allen and Penello. "Now that I've assimilated with her, she's just using the excuse of catching me. It's perfectly justifiable for her to skip work in the afternoon to shop in the floating city's clothing stores … Erm, I mean, to look for me in the women's clothing stores …" Sirius was pleased with himself. "I think Josephine was just tired from shopping and wanted to go in for a drink. She doesn't know I'm here … I told you it's too early. It'll still be a few hours before she catches me near the wizard bank in front of the temple and brings me back to the Ministry of Magic to answer to the others …"
Allen picked up his beer. He wanted to comment but could only take a sip to calm himself down. He and Lupin thought that after Sirius went to the Ministry of Magic and got a proper job, he would be able to change his reckless, careless and sloppy habits under the Ministry of Magic's control.
But to her surprise, Sirius didn't change for the better. Instead, he influenced Aunt Josephine, who had always been steady and reliable, into skipping work …
Allen roared in his mind. "Sirius made the Director-General skip work! He's really a f * cking disaster! "
Penello was not only shocked by Sirius's fish-catching radiation ability, but she was also suspicious.
This made the female Aura squint at Sirius in front of her. "Sirius … Don't you plan to get married? I've heard about your great-great-grandfather's portrait in Allen's office a few times. He's worried that your main branch of Blake (Black) may not have any descendants. "
Allen also understood what Penello was talking about. He was shocked by the possibility that Penello thought of. He recalled his Aunt Josephine's favorite black outfit and how she looked at the crouching bat in the confinement room and said that she liked black the most …
Sirius ate the snacks he brought and rubbed his greasy fingers. "My neighbor on the floating city is an old man who's more than 130 years old. His head was damaged by a powerful Amnesia Spell. He's very forgetful."
"Bertha Jorkins was affected by Barty Crouch's Amnesia Spell for a few years and became very forgetful. She almost lost her life in Albania …" Mrs. Rosmerta came over with a beer for Sirius and tried to continue the conversation when she heard the conversation.
"Yes, this old man always knocks on my door in the morning and asks if I've seen his wife …" Sirius gestured with his hands and said seriously, "So I always have to explain to a forgetful old man who's more than 130 years old that his wife has passed away for more than 30 years …"
"That's so touching …" Mrs. Rosmerta seemed to be longing for such a relationship as she was getting older. "I hope Cheryl and her husband have a good life in Raccoon City and can be like this …"
Penello's expression softened when she looked at Sirius even though she did not understand why he did not answer her question. Allen was the only one who retracted his gaze from Sirius. He looked at the lady boss with three brooms almost pitifully.
"I've thought of moving to another house on the floating city and I've also thought of pretending that I'm not here and not answering the door." Sirius took a big gulp of beer and said seriously, "But to be honest, every time I see the sincere smile on this old man's face when he knows that he's free from the shackles of marriage, I feel that it's worth it for me to repeat the explanation for him … Remus will definitely regret getting married … Ugh, I feel sorry for my niece Tonks when I say this …"
