[OOC: I have both school-age and adult Lupin journals, as well! ^_^ My initial thought (below) is adult, but can always switch it up…? IC:]
"Really never thought we'd be doing this again," murmured Remus, eyes still everywhere except on Sirius. He was overcorrecting—making sure he didn't uncomfortably stare. He was also trying to convince his brain that Sirius wouldn't vanish just because Remus looked away. He'd spent years trying to convince himself Sirius was dead, since he could never quite convince himself that Sirius was guilty but having to move on somehow. This restoration was still a miracle. "Nice not to have to be ducking professors while we're at it." …Though of course they did because Sirius was a convict…
Sirius had been going so stir-crazy at No. 12; ironically, the Forbidden Forest was probably the safest place to stretch their legs. If anybody actually was around and tried to catch them, Sirius's and Remus's superior knowledge of the forest gave them the advantage. Plus, if Sirius literally blew No. 12 up in his cabin fever, it'd be more traceable anyway.
Here's an 8, but literally any of them? (Including 3)
