_______<br/>Sirius hadn’t exactly been thinking clearly when he had asked Remus to get him drunk, but now he was starting to realise that it was actually exactly what he had needed.<br/>As he and Remus stumbled into their shared dorm, shushing each other and giggling as they went, Sirius had all but forgotten his earlier turmoil, just getting to feel happy and relieved that his mother was finally dead and would be unable to make his life hell anymore. Remus had been absolutely darling about it as well, having needed a minimum of explanation before catching on and deciding to celebrate Sirius’ good fortune with him.<br/>It had been even better than Sirius could have hoped for.<br/>“I don’t even think that I can sleep right now,” Sirius stated as the door had been closed and locked behind them, leaving the two of them completely alone for the first time that night. As Sirius kicked off his shoes and shrugged off his jacket, he looked at Remus, wanting to be able to judge just how intoxicated his flatmate was, but finding that it gave him no real answers.
