It was not often that Remus Lupin had need to visit other people in the Hospital Wing, though he frequented it every month like clockwork for himself. However, after the fight between Sirius and his younger brother had landed Sirius (and Regulus, for that matter) in the Hospital Wing, it served as jarring proof that things weren't so much Getting Better for Sirius. Remus had suspected there was still pain (how could there not be?), and Sirius had a tendency to lose his temper...but this was so unlike him, and the need to see Sirius became ever stronger.
While he thought about visiting during the daytime, he ultimately settled on an after-hours excursion. His status as a prefect prevented him from being bothered for wandering the halls, so after his rounds, he trekked the castle to see Sirius, supposing it would be a quiet and private time to talk. As a frequenter of the Hospital Wing, Madam Pomfrey had a soft spot for him -- quite luckily, as she could be quite fierce about patients -- and she turned a blind eye when he wandered in long after visiting hours were over.
Catching sight of his friend, Remus crossed the room silently, not wishing to wake anyone up; he wasn't even sure if Sirius was asleep or if he would wish to talk, but Remus just wanted to see that he was okay...and give Sirius the opportunity to talk if he felt he was ready.
After settling into the chair beside the bed, he sat for a moment in silence before whispering, "Sirius?"
