Draco had no idea how long he had been standing in the embrace, probably not as long as he felt like he did, finding the embrace to span hours, but he just didn’t want to let go. The sweet reassurance that he was alright helped soothe Draco and make him feel less intrusive, relieved that Sirius didn’t seem to mind his presence, nor his tears.<br/>Eventually though, Draco’s tears dried up, not because he felt that he was done crying, but more because he didn’t feel like he should keep crying to someone who was essentially a stranger. Gingerly, he let go of Sirius again, allowing the embrace to end, no matter how nice and comforting it had been.<br/>“I’m sorry,” Draco stated, having still not even told Sirius what his problem was and yet he was still being treated with such kindness that he could hardly believe it.
