*locked to Remus*

*while exploring one of the corridors, takes a turn in the hallway and runs literally into someone, looks up to apologize and realizes it's the person he is trying to avoid, in French he says*

Pardon me. I wasn't paying attention.

*had been walking and reading a piece of parchment when he runs into the student and, when he looks up to apologize he just stops short*

...

*blinks and looks around. there's no way he's dreaming, is there? as if to check, looks over at the piece of parchment he's holding before back at... ...MERLIN*

Oh, I--

*right. French. but first finds his voice before managing in a bit of broken French since it's been a really long while that he has used it at all ESPECIALLY WHEN STARING AT THE MIRROR IMAGE OF SIRIUS BLACK*

No, I'm... I apologize. I should've been more alert to where I was going.

[borntoroar]

*feels equal parts amused and guilty, but he did make a promise to the headmaster not to reveal who he was, so he smiles politely and adjust the uniform slightly so it's more straight on him, ever the polished Beauxbatons student*

*in French he continues*

No, no Professor, it is completely my fault. I am not used to the changing staircases yet.

*Of course if he had thought this through he might have realized speaking in French only makes him appears more like Cassie, but what can he do? He's avoiding the obvious comparison to his father, though he can't help but wonder if his uncle is imagining this "student" as the known to no-one love child of Sirius and another Beauxbatons beauty*

*sorry Leo, the comparison is inevitable and it probably shows in the way he's staring even if he's trying to stop. But no matter how much he's staring for the similarities, he doesn't reach the conclusion just yet that this is his future godson. Which maybe he should, considering who his godson's father is, but blame his lack of sleep for how slow his brain is working right now*

... *realizes he's probably staring and lets out a very faint chuckle under his breath, pinching the bridge of his nose. Leo would probably be able to recognize that in the exhausted-but-trying-to-focus way Remus keeps using*

I'm sorry, I... You remind me a lot of someone I know. A friend of mine. It...took me by surprise.

*yes he's hallucinating, that has to be the reason. or he's sleeping and this is a dream. yes, that sounds about right*

[borntoroar]

Do I?

*oops he forgot the French, he covers this with a smile, a smile that probably looks entirely too much like his father, Severus is going to kill him*

You should sleep, Professor. *he continues to speak in English because he's already busted him* You look very tired.
