Sirius glanced about the new city with a look that seemed to be increasingly confused, though also admittedly a little awestruck. Sure, yes, he'd paid attention during the briefing at the docks, but he'd also kind of assumed that that little lecture was all some elaborate dream and that he would wake up at any moment.

But it wasn't and he hadn't, and here he was, and this -- this was certainly not London.

He still had the welcome materials in his hand, but he was a little bit too much in shock to read them. So instead he glanced at the streets around him, wondering which way to go first.

"Oh, we should be checking to see what we have here." Remus said, because Sirius glancing at his knapsack gave him that idea. Remus was still wearing the black robes with his prefect badge on them, so there was that inventory done. His wand was on him; thank god for that.

Which left whatever was in his own knapsack. "Open your bag and see what else you have besides textbooks." Remus already started to do the same for his own bag. Seeing as he was on his way to potions, he had a few items in there especially for the class, but nothing extraordinary.

After pushing aside some pieces of parchment, a bottle of ink, and a few quills, he started, grabbing what looked to be a blank piece of parchment.

"Found the map. Not that it'll do us much good, not being in the castle, but." Remus shrugged.

"Ah, well, better we have it than it getting lost to some first years. Or, Merlin, one of the teachers," he says with a blank look of horror at what could have been, before he goes digging through his own bag.

"Let's see -- ink, quills, parchment. Quidditch Through the Ages. Textbooks. Two Dungbombs. A couple of chocolate frogs. A note from Prongs asking me to meet him after class, which looks like it won't be happening."

After pawing through his knapsack for a few more moments, he shakes his head. "Nothing else in there. Though my wand did make the trip, thank Merlin," he says, shaking his sleeve so that his wand slides out past the hem and into his palm.

"The last thing we need is it to get in the hands of one of the teachers." Remus said mildly, stifling a laugh at the utter look of horror on his friend's face. It really might be one of the funnier things that he's seen.

"You have chocolate frogs on you? Let me have one." Because it was telling that the first thing you wanted in a new place was the familiar, and the familiar was always chocolate. Also, he was hungry. Remus held his hand out for one of those as he slid his own wand out of his pocket.

"What would we do without our wands?" He smiled. "Like the one time you forgot yours for charms, and you tried to convince the professor you could do magic without it, in what, our second year?"

"Merlin, can you even imagine if they did?" Sirius says, his horror no less decreased even as he catches Moony's amusement (which does make him grin ever-so-slightly). "They'd give it to Filch so he would always know when students were out of bed. It'd be madness. We'd never get anything done ever again."

With an easy grin, he pulls one frog out of his bag and plops it in Remus' outstretched palm. If there was any doubt in his mind that this was really Remus, this would settle it -- after all, no remedy for a stressful situation worked better for one Remus Moony Lupin than some chocolate.

"We'd be doomed," he says, still smiling even as he muses it. "We'd be lost lambs in the woods or something. Though, as far as the professor knew, I could have just been a genius at wandless magic. I never even got a chance to show my possible wandless skills before he gave me detention!"
