Still, the boy was an excellent student, his scores were second only to Hermione, and he routinely sought out Remus after class to ask for additional reading material, or to start up a lively debate on whatever they had discussed in the lesson that day. Behind closed doors, Draco was polite and inquisitive, and Remus wondered how much of his persona within the school halls was simply a front to appease his father. But speaking with Draco never failed to remind Remus of Sirius. One look into the boy’s eyes and he saw Sirius" staring back at him. Brushing up on his Black family history, Remus remembered that the boy’s mother, Narcissa, was herself a Black and Sirius’ cousin, their beautiful storm grey eyes were a unique trait that belonged only to their family. Again, Remus felt that longing for pack, for Sirius specifically, as the other living Marauder. Since his escape from Azkaban, his longing to have Sirius back in his life was growing stronger. Today, on Halloween, it was the strongest it had been in twelve years.
