The fact that Draco lived in Oxford had Sirius’ brows pulled together in a brief consideration, knowing it complicated things that Draco didn’t live in London. It wasn’t by any means impossible to help Draco rearrange his life in Oxford, but the distance was significant when time was of an issue.<br/>His expression softened when Draco clarified that he was attending university there, something Sirius had probably already understood. Sirius had attended Oxford University, too, though he didn’t consider it worth mentioning, not one to give his degree much thought or consideration.<br/>“Yeah?” he prompted regardless, wanting Draco to share anything that was on his mind.<br/>“What’re you studying?” he said with a smile more freely now that it had at the very least become clear that Draco wasn’t under any immediate risk.<br/>Sirius took a drink of his tea, watching his cousin over the rim of the mug, an eerie feeling of seeing his own past self, had he not left his home at fifteen.
