A Few Weeks Later:
The environment had changed. Everything was different. No one was the same.
Sirius strode into the auror office after having not gone into work for weeks. He wasn't wearing his robes. He didn't plan on working today. He walked through the office quickly. Not stopping at his desk.
He went straight into Moody's office, not bothering to knock before he threw the door open.
Moody turned to face him. Sirius' stomach flipped as he saw what Moody was doing. He was hanging a large picture of Doe on the wall.
Sirius pursed his lips in anger. He didn't want to see her face yet. It was too soon. He thought death would be better than to watch the girl he had loved smiling down at him.
" What are you doing here, Black?" Moody asked, " have you come to formally resign?"
Sirius crossed his arms angrily, " I don't care. I'm not coming back here again"
Moody sighed, " She wouldn't have wanted that"
Anger fired inside Sirius.
" You don't get to say what she would have wanted!" Sirius demanded, " You don't get to talk about her at all"
" She would have been furious with you" Moody snapped, " she would want you to keep doing what you're good at"
" No" Sirius said angrily, " Stop it. It's your fault. How could you send her alone?"
Moody sighed and rubbed his hands over his face, " She insisted. She was going with or without my permission. I know now that I shouldn't have let her go. I should have stopped her"
" Damn right you should have!" Sirius shouted angrily.
Sirius turned on his heels to leave. This wasn't helping. He shouldn't have come.
" Sirius, wait" Moody called before he left the door.
Sirius stopped. Moody had only ever called him Black.
" She went for you, Sirius." Moody said quietly, " She knew she could die but she went to save you".
Sirius looked at him for a moment, and his expression softened.
But then it faded, and he slammed the door behind him.
