Well that would be useful, provided Sirius doesn't do a Cinderella and stay out too long, or go somewhere where Jack is known. Which definitely includes where Allie and Jack work. :(

 

I hadn't thought he hadn't asked Allie how things went after he escaped. Definitely something about the breakout has upset her.

Oh dear, I think Sirius really missed an hint there when Allie clearly said, the night before this trip to the Alps that she had only just heard about it! I'm not good at social interaction and hints but even I might have noticed that. Does suggest that she was saying she would rather not go, or would be open to an alternative option. I thought he was supposed to be something of a success with the ladies unless that time in prison has really screwed his self-confidence?

 

He definitely needs to get out a bit as he's suffering serious cabin fever and its making him reckless and depressed.

Well Sirius is still acting like an inexperienced teenager and fumbling things badly. However that last expression of concern from Allie suggests for all his clumsiness he hasn't totally fouled it up yet. The fact she came to him after the quarrel with her mum should have told him something important but he's not in a very observant mood at the moment ;)

 

There is a heavy sense of foreboding about Sirius's forthcoming message to Harry that something nasty is coming up. Hopefully not but have to see what happens.

Well Allie has turned up and Sirius is starting to come out of his funk. Looking more promising for both of them. Going to be some nasty times ahead give the growing presence of Voldemort and his followers but hopefully some good times ahead.

Good to see a sequel to the previous section. Rather disappointing that Sirius waited so long before trying to contact her but then he was busy. Also concerned they might be watching Allie although that's possibly a good point to him having taken two years.

 

I got the feeling Allie was somewhat younger, but 25 does make her a good bit nearer Sirius's age.

 

Not sure how much Allie could do for the Order but then possibly in her current job she might hear something useful. An old fact that servants often acquire invisibility as far as the people their working around are concerned. Given that she had to drop out of Hogwarts she probably would be that good in terms of magic but simply keeping Sirius in a more positive state would be a lot better for him and probably the Order as an whole, especially since the better ending does suggest he's not going to end up going through that damned mirror.

 

Mind you too close a link with Sirius could be harmful for both of them. Doubt Allie would want to explain why she's giving up her job and family to run off with a wanted killer she met in Azkaban! Also it could make her and her family vulnerable to Voldemort and his followers.  So they have to be careful whatever they do.
