Sirius Black
1. Andromeda only became my favorite cousin later. When we were kids she was way too laid back and pacifistic to be as much fun as Bella.
2. I was always a little relieved about the flubbed Quidditch try-outs - not least because Regulus cared enough to Confund me to avoid playing against me.
3. I didn't think that Peter would keep the Potters' secret under torture if the switch were found out. I didn't know if I could keep it under torture either. I didn't ever want to find out, and since I knew Remus would swear up and down that it was me…I was right about that at least.
4. I think I did go mad in Azkaban.
5. I have never been drunk. Oh, I've acted drunk. It's a family tradition - those Blacks always saw the advantage of being the alert ones in a room of dulled wits.
6. The hardest part about being back at Grimmauld Place was how easily it started to feel like home again. I hated it when it was my home…but there's something about the house you grow up in that never leaves you.
7. It wasn't Snape I told about the knot on the Whomping Willow. I saved Regulus from a furious blow to the head then cursed him to be unable to go near it again. I can't believe he used Snape to explore for him. Clever bugger.
8. Harry didn't fly as well as his father. He might have in time, but you really couldn't match James - he lived for that game and Lily's smiles.
9. I drove off every one of Lily's friends. That part's not secret. But I didn't even think most of them were the traitor, that part is. I just couldn't let it to be one of the guys, couldn't let it be Remus. But I knew it was long before I drove the last one off. It kills me now that Harry doesn't have anyone to tell him about his mother.
10. I told Dora that Remus liked her but was too shy to make a move one day. More because I was bored than because I thought they'd actually make a go of it.
