Sirius watched her with a fond little smile, lifting his other hand up to trace the curve of her cheek. While he had hoped that she wouldn't ask it, Sirius also knew her better than that and realized that was a fruitless hope. So when she asked, he exhaled a soft breath.

"It's not very Gryffindor of me, I know but...," he fell quiet as he looked at her far more seriously than he was likely prone to be. "But I want you to be safe first and foremost. It's ridiculous and hair-brained, I know. Especially with You-Know-Who out there."

His mouth curled up when she suggested New Zealand and chuckled. "We might as well go far if we're going to do this," he agreed and slid his thumb over her bottom lip gently. "We will make sure your parents are safe, first." He knew how important they were to her.

"Well, our education at Hogwarts only taught us what is standard. Every country has its own practices, magic, and specialties. I figure we can learn everything we can, everywhere we go. However, we shouldn't spend all of our time learning so we'll have to mix in a good deal of fun as well." Sirius gave her a teasing smile. "I don't know if you know this but I'm a good judge of fun."
