The Everlasting Day

AU - What if Sirius hadn't been content just to go on the run after PoA? What if he decided to seek help from one of the most unlikely of sources in order to build a new life for himself and Harry in the face of the ever-present threat from Voldemort? The consequences of the choices we make, and the family and friendships that carry us through....

Sirius returns to an old friend, hoping that she can help him get his life back. Sometimes, you have to return to the past to be able to move on to the future....

Sirius and Ariadne discover that old love never truly dies and decide that the time has come for action if they want to taste freedom again....

Ariadne goes to meet with someone who might just be able to help Sirius to clear his name. But what will the consequences be for her? And the people she cares about...

Ariadne walks into the lions den at last...is she strong enough to make it out again?

Sirius finds that the wait for news from Malfoy is a new agony quite different from Azkaban as doubts begin to surface over the certainty of Ariadne and Harry's safety. Have they done the right thing?

Sirius gets the news he and Ariadne have been waiting for while his doubts about whether or not they've done the right thing are beginning to make him edgy. Will Malfoy and the other Death Eaters believe him?

The time has come...will Sirius and Ariadne pass the test? Will the consequences of their actions prove too much for them to deal with? Who will pay the ultimate price in the end? The path to freedom never did run smooth....

With things escalating beyond Sirius and Ariadne's control, they turn to their only hope - Dumbledore. But does he have the power to save Snape's life?

Ariadne and Severus Snape find that some old wounds need more than time to heal.

A temporary calm has fallen the morning after....but will it last? Snape tries to explain the actions of his past to Ariadne, Sirius recognises their need for time to heal and the final plans that could save them all begin to take shape....

Leaving Ariadne and Snape to get to know each other again, Sirius finally gets to do some catching up of his own. Firewhisky, photographs and memories as Sirius and Lupin rediscover their friendship after twelve years. And come to realise that the past doesn't matter quite so much as the future.

Ariadne and Severus rediscover their past - and find that everyone has their own cross of secrets to bear....Finally, it becomes clear....

Old prejudices run deep....to be expected in enemies. But surely not in friends? Sirius and Lupin discover that time isn't always a healer.

Making up, catching up... and setting up. It seems as though Sirius and Ariadne and not the only ones with hidden agendas....

Sirius and Snape put their plan into action, but it looks as though Malfoy has already figured them out...and an innocent looks likely to pay....

Sirius and Lucius finally face each other...only one can emerge standing....

"Erytheia Snape had been staying at Hogwarts for just over two weeks when it first happened......."
