Need the distance between the two star systems (Sirius & Centauri) for a science fiction novel.

9,5 ly.
Incidentally, viewed from Alpha Centauri, Sirius is a tight double of Betelgeuse (less than a degree distance).

Thanks for the answer and the extra tip. Now I know it's 'realistic' for my starship to change destinations.
