ceredwensirius's comment here, a Sirius/Draco drabble.
*** *** ***
It had been easier to look at Harry and not see James.
Draco falls in step with him and harasses him up and down the Ministry corridors and the steps of Azkaban and the privacy of his own house and every gesture of his hands and the clenching of his jaw around pleading words is Lucius at eighteen, lordly and insouciant. Unable to accept helplessness.
He is, too, much older, weariness etched into grey eyes that mirror his, and the thinned mouth that begs so for his father—his cousin, beloved enemy, Lucius, you fool—clings as desperately to his.
