Opportunities
Title: Opportunities
House: Gryffindor
Word Count: 100
Characters: Remus, Sirius
A/N: A man is known by the company he keeps.
He remembers the tsk-tsks from his mum's mouth whenever he'd brought Sirius 'round. Disapproval masquerading as concern, and both altogether smothering.
In truth, he's always been a fiercely independent creature, his forgiveness for Sirius the only grace that didn't scrape across the palate of his nature, though nature murmured dejectedly that he should tear into Sirius tooth and claw.
It's why he could refuse Voldemort's offer of normality within the ranks of kindred beasts.
It's why, when he began to suspect Sirius, he could think of his mother's dull, green-tinged eyes and not destroy him.
When he had the chance.
