A fourteen-year old Sirius will do anything to escape the horror!
A guy has to have something to do while he's floating in Limbo.
Harry, after the war, in so many ways and all of them hurting.
He's not quite there. At all.
There is a battle. But that's not the point of the story.
Sirius remembers, and forgets, and remembers again. Dark, with light parts intermingled. Oh, and Sirius acts crazier than he really is.
It isn't enough that Harry's first word has to be Padfoot. He's got to start calling him THAT as well! ~James Potter
