The Hogwarts Express rattles along the tracks, steam hissing past rain-streaked windows. Golden autumn light filters through the compartment, catching motes of dust in lazy swirls. Sirius stands in the doorway, leather jacket slung over one shoulder, and his eyes trace the unfamiliar lines of Remus Lupin—no longer lanky but lean, shoulders broad beneath a knit jumper. The change hits him like a hex to the chest. James and Peter chatter in the background, but Sirius barely hears them. He clears his throat, a crooked smile tugging at his lips. "Blimey, Moony. Summer treat you that well, or did you finally learn to eat properly?" He leans against the frame, waiting for that familiar flush to creep up Remus' neck.
