I never lied to you apart from lies of omission, and only one of those was mine to tell. And I could never forget our friendship. I could barely stand the idea that you could be the one who sold Lily and James to the Dark Lord, that you could murder Peter so spectacularly. But that was the story that was told, that’s what the evidence apparently pointed to. I’ve spent the last year trying to convince myself I was wrong about you, that you were like your parents and your cousin, despite everything I knew to be the opposite.

You know they did this to us, Voldemort and his followers. They drove this wedge, made us doubt each other, made everyone so paranoid. And it worked.

[thebloodtraitor]

Oh, I could have murdered Peter twice as spectacularly. I still would if given the chance.

You're saying you didn't believe it then? Not really.

[blaidd_ddyn]

Didn’t believe what? Sirius, you were my best friend. Everyone was gone, I didn’t…

Please tell me this is real, what you’re telling me now, that I haven’t just got my hopes up enough to be gullible about this.

[thebloodtraitor]

I can tell you with absolutely no doubt that I didn't betray Lily and James, that if I had the power to magic back in time and never change Secret Keepers, I would. (And still kill Peter for good measure.)

After that... everything I know of Peter staging his death and killing those Muggles, about being locked up and for over a decade, of Regulus not being a Death Eater after all, that's all stuff Harry's told me. I believe him, or at least I want to believe him. That's all I can say.

[blaidd_ddyn]

Thank you, Sirius. I’m sorry for doubting you, now and back then, too. Things had just fallen apart so much, and we weren’t talking, and then James and Lily… I don’t think I’ll get to stay here, but I don’t want to go back there. I don’t.

[thebloodtraitor]

To be honest, I can't say I entirely blame you. I've always been a prat, why wouldn't you doubt all the evidence. Particularly given my dear family.

Why can't you stay? This place is dull as anything, Moony, but it's a good deal better than prison, probably better than anything Dumbledore still has you out doing. Stay, will you?

[blaidd_ddyn]

I don’t think I get a choice. But I don’t have anything back there. I live in a tumbledown cottage in Muggle Yorkshire and do odd jobs until I get sacked for missing too much work during the full moons. I don’t have you, I don’t have James and Lily, I don’t even have Harry. I want to stay here, with you, and James. And Harry, grown up Harry. I don’t want to go back to being alone.

[thebloodtraitor]

Perhaps there's some kind of binding spell. Or even a potion. We'll figure something out, we always do.

Well. In light of recent events, I suppose that's not quite true. But there must be something. I can't lose you again.

[blaidd_ddyn]

You’re right, though. We always used to be good at making things follow our rules. Why not this too?

[thebloodtraitor]

Exactly! We'll find a way. Even if it takes another three years. We've the time now, haven't we?

[blaidd_ddyn]

What happens if I disappear? Do you think I could come back again?

[thebloodtraitor]

I don't know. I haven't seen it, if I'm honest. There must be a way though; I'll work on it, Moony. Don't you worry.

[blaidd_ddyn]

I'll work on the not worrying bit. You know how I am.

[thebloodtraitor]

Well, I suppose one must and you worry enough for the lot of us.

[blaidd_ddyn]

That has always been my job too, hasn't it?

[thebloodtraitor]

To worry? Well, to be fair, you've always been very good at it. Sometimes even with good reason.

[blaidd_ddyn]

One of us had to. It was the only thing that kept you and James from getting expelled.

[thebloodtraitor]

I can't even argue that, honestly. Though at times, I did wonder if you'd have rather we were.

[blaidd_ddyn]

Expelled? Not a chance. I’d have been alone with Peter in that case. Not sure the wolf wouldn’t have just eaten him on the full moon.

[thebloodtraitor]

Even better.

Maybe you still can, Moony.

[blaidd_ddyn]

What, when I go back? Do you want me to track him down and kill him?

[thebloodtraitor]

Yes. I can tell you exactly where he is, even. He's posing as the Weasleys' pet rat.

[blaidd_ddyn]

The Weasleys? That bastard went into hiding right under my nose, after what he did? I swear, if I remember this when I get back, he’s going to meet the sharp end of a rat trap if I have any say in it.

[thebloodtraitor]

Sod the rat trap, Moony. Just eat him.

[blaidd_ddyn]

I have a feeling that might make me ill. Also I can’t show him to you if I eat him. Maybe I’ll trap him and just keep him in a fishbowl for the rest of his miserable life.
