   Summary

   Tired of living in his married best friend's guest room, Sirius flies all the way to Edinburgh after taking the chance of teaching at a boarding school. There, he flows his way through making the most out of a normal life, and it's Remus Lupin who gets him hooked at first, with his mysterious, gentle way of being and a smile that could warm any room in the winter. Sirius can't stop thinking about him, and that's not ethical—for professional and holy purposes.
