[Sirius looks exhausted, and like he may have been crying. It takes him a moment to speak, but when he does, it's quiet and defeated.]

I think...I think Lily Potter and Percy Weasley are gone, unless anyone has seen them. We've been searching for days, and there's been no sign of them. I'm sorry.

I'm not sure "incredible" is the word I'd use.

Oh, I couldn't tell in the slightest, Black. Not by a long shot.

Then why do you persist in attempting to annoy me?

voice; locked

[alphaophiuchi]

[after a long moment] Has anyone told you that your parents were here?

[he was about to make another snappy remark when he realises what was just said. And then he's stopped in his tracks.

[Sirius, you bastard.]

[he's really not trying to be a bastard, he just thinks Draco deserves to know.]

They were, and so was Evan Rosier. ...I don't think Snape knows, either, now that I think about it.

[but now he's back to missing his parents.]

Unless you made a point of telling him first, and let me till just now... [he purses his lips.]

Why now?

[seriousmarauder]

[he shrugs] "Almost" caring is more than I expected.

[alphaophiuchi]

What's that supposed to mean?

[seriousmarauder]

Exactly what it sounds like.
