I'm off to meet the wizard

[mr_angel]

Something had been bugging me for a while. Not in a bad way exactly, but there was something in the back of my head since the battle that I couldn't put together. When we'd been at the hospital and Lily was still unconscious, Sarah explained how when Lily had fallen out of the window, some guy came up to her on a broom to slow her fall. I

I was having a bugger of a time coming up with reasons for continuing to stay in the states. Auror training wouldn't start for several months, and Hermione and Ron had left on some sort of Muggle backpacking across Europe holiday. Didn't much understand it really. Is it really backpacking if you're apparating to all the locations you wish to see

Right. So.. heh. On my way over to his hotel, I'd been trying to cook up some other sort of idea of what I was going to say to him. How random was it that I was just showing up on his doorstep just because of the chance that he'd been the one to save a slayer at a battle he just happened to appear on a broom at and I somehow found out where he was staying because of it

"Lily," I said with a nod to him. "Her name is Lily and, yeah, she's doing just fine now. I'm sure she and several others would love to meet you sometime to thank you for saving her life." Taking a fall like that out of the building would be practically fatal even for a slayer.

He stepped aside and opened the door for me to come inside and I stepped forward a little, but paused at the threshold. Right. Shifting uncomfortably at the invisible barrier between me and the room, it disappeared quickly once he announced that it had been Wolfram and Hart that had brought him to Los Angeles in the first place.

Say that one more time?

"They wanted to make a deal with you?" I asked, feeling anger start to rise but kept it at bay. The partners and their deals. I might have used them to my advantage or whatever the hell it was called at the time, but he was just a kid. "What kind of deal?"

Shifting again in my spot, I glanced down at the floor then back at him. "Oh, and.. I kind of need you to invite me in.. literally."
