"Sirius Black: warrior, godfather, and friend. 1959-1996." Is probably what Sirius Black's grave stone would have read--if he had one. But low and behold, as if it was a poetic representation of the man's dreadful, and painfully short life, there was no body to bury. But not for the reasons you may have come to believe. What if Sirius didn't die when he fell though the veil, but wasn't given what he had been longing for- a second chance. A chance to save them, those who he loved, and those who he lost. I don't own Harry Potter or anything to do with it J.K. Rowling does, I own only the plot.
