Disclaimer: I do not own Sirius Black (too bad for him) but I am foolish enough to try and get inside his head.

I think it's time to wake up old Sleeping Beauty here. If you weren't aware, his unusually long nap was due to my getting caught up in another fic, a collaborative version of The Werewolf Prank that I did with zgirnius. It's good, I highly recommend it. :D

But I never meant to abandon grown-up Sirius, and I vow to carry him through the rest of this day to his death. In a reasonable sort of timeframe, hopefully. Enjoy!

Sorry for the delay, but in order to write this chapter I had to contact the Department of Mysteries and try to wheedle some information about magical love and death out of them. They were pretty cagey about it, especially when I told them I was writing for a Muggle audience, but â€” well, let's just say I have my ways.
