3. Sirius - despair
You can only spend so long haunted by the past
...
Sirius had long since decided that despair was the worst kind of evil. The kind you couldn't kill with any type of magic, nor could you will away or wish upon another. It was no emotion, and it was no idea. It was a prison of the mind. And it was inescapable.
Sadness is when the mischievous little boy knows to stop pretending that everything's okay.
Misery is when the disobedient teenager realizes how alone in the world he really put himself.
Depression is when the remorseful man knows his mistakes cost the life of those he cared about most.
Pain is what reminds him in a never ending cycle of all the things he's done wrong, and all he's missing out on.
But Anguish reminds him that he deserves it.
Despair is none, but all of those. It can be no single emotion, for he stopped feeling those a lifetime ago.
But he knew despair was not giving up; it was accepting that he had nothing to lose. And in a way, that made him all the more invincible.
