Sirius raised an eyebrow (or rather, he tried-- he'd never been as good at it as Remus was. One side of his forehead wrinkled slightly, and Sirius just assumed that the eyebrow had raised).
"'S a cousin of mine," said Sirius, giving Crowley another quick glance over. Since Crowley knew that the Malfoys were related to the Blacks, that meant he was in touch with the wizarding world, but in his experience family ties were generally the least of any wizard's worries when he found out he was speaking to Sirius Black. On the other hand, the fact that he even had to ask about Draco's lineage proved that he probably wasn't a pureblood (at least not of the Slytherin set).
This was odd in itself. Crowley carried himself like a pureblood somehow, and there was something vaguely Slytherin about him, but Sirius didn't recognize the surname. This only made him like Crowley better.
"Well, sort of cousin," he continued, the alcohol and sudden feeling of camaraderie opening him up. "Never met the boy m'self. 'S parents don' like me much."
