Age seems to have little effect in taking away woes. Story of Sirius Black's life, told through his thirty six birthdays and one more in the afterlife. Drabble.

Being ten was a big deal. You weren't a baby anymore.

It was also when you had history lessons with Mother. We learned about ancestors like Phineas Nigellus. He was the best Headmaster at Hogwarts.

A lot of things had to happen too. You had to look neat. You had to get up earlier. And you had to understand blood purity.

It was the most important part of my life.

Want to play with a friend? You couldn't if he had tainted blood.

I always felt bad when walking away from someone because of it. They always looked so hurt.
