_____<br/>It had been a while since Sirius had been present in Mulligan’s classroom without having something to present or something to help Mulligan grade. It wasn’t that he wasn’t happy to be a part of that process as well, in fact he enjoyed both presenting his own thesis and also helping Mulligan in figuring out how to get the current students on the right way, however it was also nice to get to take the backseat for once.<br/>Remus was at the blackboard, the four students having had to take turns in presenting what they had so far for their thesis, and today was Remus’ turn.<br/>After Kelly’s rather abysmal presentation the week before, Sirius easily spotted the looks on their faces as Remus talked about how far he was. By all means, it wasn’t actually that much further, but Remus carried an ease with him in the way he talked about it, an ease that Sirius knew to be for show, that made him seemed as if he had been made for this.<br/>It was impressive to listen to and, if Sirius was being very honest with himself, he cherished the chance to get to just sit at look at Remus without it being weird.<br/>Since their late night encounter, Sirius had been unable to put Remus entirely out of his head, haunted by the sight of dark brown skin mixed with white mixed with purple. Thinking too long of the pattern made Sirius’ head spin, wishing that he could have gotten a chance to explore further, but that was a thought he always shut down quickly.<br/>For now, he was just going to have to sit and enjoy listening to what Remus had to say, knowing exactly what lurked behind the crisply ironed button up.
