Taking a sip, he winced and realized exactly how strong this stuff was. No wonder Sirius was so sloshed. "I dunno. Most of it was just planning and prepping. Meeting the new students and ducking around corners. Nothing too exciting. And the new kids are...fine, I guess. I really shouldn't be surprised. The Gryffindors are as rowdy as ever, the Ravenclaws just want to learn, the Hufflepuffs..um...well, they stare. A lot. And the Slytherins are intolerable." Another drink and a laugh.
He really didn't mind Sirius being so tactile. It was something he'd grown up with, and one of his friend's many endearing traits.
"Why are you so down? Please don't tell me it has anything to do with Regulus."
