As soon as he came within sight of Hogwarts, the achingly familiar sight of the castle brought a smile to Sirius Black's face. He'd occasionally thought about visiting his alma mater in the past, but hadn't really found a good excuse to, nor even the time to come up this far north. Lately, however, some things had changed, and not all for the better.

Sirius desperately needed this mission to keep himself preoccupied. His mind had been far too full of the things that had happened in the last week, least of all being the sudden reappearance of Regulus. He still hadn't had a proper exchange of words with his brother — perhaps even former brother, if this kept up — though he wasn't quite sure if he wanted to come face to face with him in a less crowded environment. He wouldn't admit to anyone else that he was scared of how he might react. That the guilt of pulling away from Reg had been eating away at him since he thought his brother had died. This situation with Remus wasn't making things any easier on him, either, especially since he'd have to spend much of this assignment in his company.

Sirius steeled his jaw in consideration. He'd have to make a concerted effort to be near the other man as little as possible. With any luck, he'd turn Remus off of him completely and maybe they could even salvage what might be left of their friendship. If not... Sirius didn't let himself think too hard about the other, far less pleasant, potential consequence. Instead, he shook off his gloomy train of thought, adjusted his proper wizarding robes [which felt foreign since he'd begun wearing Muggle clothing exclusively], and continued on his way towards the castle, to the designated meeting spot before the large gate, in the hopes that he might see James before either of the others.

He looked ridiculous, and Remus wasn't amused. In any other situation, he would've retorted back with a witty comeback and made some sort of remark about how James and Sirius dressed, but instead he was just quiet. They weren't taking this whole ordeal seriously enough. Didn't they understand that Dumbledore had entrusted them with this highly important matter? He'd given them this assignment because he knew they knew the castle better than anyone else in the Order, but not because they were pranksters who could pull off a good trick without anyone seeing them. This wasn't a prank, it was a mission, and James was playing dress-up?

Remus touched the bridge of his nose to suppress the incoming headache that was looming over him and threatening to latch onto his nerves. He didn't want to think about the potential consequences, but he wasn't too worried about it. They were breaking into Hogwarts; Dumbledore was the highest ranked official in the school, and he was the one sending them there. If they got caught, it wouldn't be Azkaban or anything like that. It'd just be embarrassing. He just sighed and shook his head, then moved away from James and leaned down to scoop up Wormtail. He placed the rat on his shoulder so they could cover ground faster until Pete would have to lead the way and make sure it was safe for Remus to follow. "How will we signal you if we find something, Professors?" He asked, looking between James and Sirius expectantly. He was usually the one with the answers, but since they were running this show, he wanted to hear what they had in mind.

Sirius was more than glad to go along with James. When his best mate pulled out the necessary items for the evening, his grin was unmatched.

"Right-o my good chap!" he said with an exaggerated, nasally accent. He busied himself with his own get-up and then gave James a once-over. "You look stupendous my fair colleague," he quipped towards James, raising a brow sceptically, "but clearly I look more convincing."

Remus's obviously unhappy air was working to bring him down from his amused high, though, and he really needed to just get away to forget about everything that had been happening. The mission itself was simply a side note for him, Sirius being naturally more concerned with making himself feel better. If things hadn't been so rocky lately, he might've given more of a toss. The Order did actually matter to him, as did its mission, but he couldn't get past the frustrations of late. It showed in the way that he tried just a little too hard to be jovial.

With a slap to Remus's free shoulder, he looked between him and James, and then squinted at Peter. "Well, James's brilliant plan aside, what if we use the mirrors?" He fished in his pockets and pulled out his half, holding it out for Remus to take at his leisure. "So we do our thing, you do yours, and we'll all convene whenever the hell we think we're done, yeah?"
