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.

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?"
