Ever so slightly his breath hitched, but the facade was still adhered to his face.
"You always did get along better with Snivellus.", said the man with some amount of nostalgia. Ah, Snivellus. It had been so long since he had said that name, out loud at least. He couldn't say so much about actually seeing his ugly mug, little snake bastard had taken to taunting him in his last days. All pretenses aside, Sirius Black was not an idiot, he had known how useless he was rotting away his time at Grimmauld Place. The reminder was quite unnecessary.
Of course it was also useful in another way altogether, he needed to reacquaint himself with the rat if he ever wanted to keep an eye on him. Friends close enemies closer, right? Luckily he figured there would be little opposition. Peter was... simple. Well, to put it bluntly, he never put his intelligence in high esteem. It was easy to assume James and himself were above him, or at least would be if they put in the effort. Remus would be another story, by those standards Peter would own about 1/4th of the most studious marauder's cognitive ability. And that was being nice.
Snapping back from his reverie he shifted his previously unfocused eyes to Lupin with a smirk, "Well then, what ever could I do to repay you?"
