Harry looked up at the sight of his godfather entering the Great Hall.
Ever since his exoneration during 5th year, two years ago, the students of
Hogwarts had gotten used to seeing him around the school. He'd even taken
over as DADA teacher when Remus Lupin left the school suddenly.
Harry knew something was wrong. Sirius's robes were billowing out behind him, reminding Harry of Professor Snape. Harry watched as Sirius walked up to the Teachers table and spoke to Albus Dumbledore. Both Professors McGonagall and Snape listened in closely.
Sirius finished speaking as the three Professors rise to their feat and followed Sirius towards the Gryffindor table.
Harry looked up at him. Sirius, his usually bright eyes missing their normal sparkle, looked sad.
"Harry." Sirius began. "Come with me."
Without a word to either Ron or Hermione, Harry followed Sirius over to where the other teachers were standing. Harry allowed himself to be lead along passages that he didn't know existed until they entered a sitting room.
Harry became even more worried then Snape turned to Sirius and said."I'll collect the body for you now."
Sirius nodded. "Thanks you."
"I am sorry for your loss Sirius." Snape said before departing the room.
Minerva stepped up embracing Sirius briefly.
"We'll send off the necessary owls. Make sure the Ministry don't do anything rash." Minerva said wiping away her own tears.
"I assume you cleared out the cottage." Dumbledore said.
Sirius nodded and patted his pocket. "I've shrunk them."
"I'm so sorry Sirius." Dumbledore told him before also leaving the room.
"He was a wonderful person." Minerva said. "I'll make sure no one bothers you. You can have Harry stay in your chambers if you wish."
"Thanks you." Sirius said as Minerva followed out after Dumbledore.
Harry who'd watched the whole exchange was worried.
"Sirius?" Harry asked nervously.
"Harry, I have to tell you something." Sirius said pausing. Harry waited for him to go on. "Remus, he died last night."
"What? How? Why?" Harry asked in shock.
"Now comes the hard part." Sirius said with a hollow laugh.
"You don't mean that he killed himself?" Harry asked catching on right away.
"Yes and no. You won't understand until you know the truth." Sirius said. "Remus explained it to me in 6th year."
"So tell me.."
