Chapter 01a - Chapter 01
06/12/2005When one confronts her past, things never go according to plan.
Chapter 02
06/17/2005What will you do today? Throw them at my head? Ruin another Muggle device? Toss the bouquet into the frying pan?
Chapter 03
06/24/2005Could she tell him the truth? Never. How would he react? Althea shivered at his possible rage.
Chapter 04
07/05/2005Chapter 05
07/07/2005Sirius sighed and smiled smugly as he leaned against the veranda railing. “Cyprus…Alexandria…Saint Tropez,” he said, resting the back of his head against the white column, “I believe the Aurors at the Ministry just want a holiday.”
Chapter 06
07/15/2005“You can do better than that!” Sirius laughed, pointing his wand at Remus.
Chapter 07
07/31/2005Chapter 08
08/21/2005In Wizarding families, he was the Wizarding Bogeyman that parents told their children about to ensure good behavior: “Eat your vegetables, finish your homework, go to bed, or Sirius Black will get you.”
Chapter 10
11/18/2005Sirius laughed. “Do you remember the time I attached a sign with a Permanent Sticking Charm to Snape’s back?” he reminisced and laughed once more. “‘The Fun Starts Here.’”
Chapter 11
01/13/2006“What else does he have planned?” she whispered, watching a molten drop of candle wax slowly cascade down the long candle. “And can you have the courage to say no?”
Chapter 12 - Chapter 12
07/17/2007Althea opened her eyes and stepped forward into her father’s study. The room was rather dark, except for the single gas lamp illuminating the end table beside the sofa. Sirius sat on the sofa, his expression grim as he looked ahead of him out the large windows.
Chapter 13 - Chapter 13
11/09/2007[I]It’s over[/I], she thought with a curious sense of relief and bent to pick up her wand. [I]No more lies[/I].
Chapter 14 - Chapter 14
01/08/2008Sirius shivered. “I’d rather kiss a dementor.”
Chapter 15 - Chapter 15
04/28/2008Lonely Potions Master seeks equally sniveling Mistress in hopes to brew romance. Must enjoy the smell of pickled Erkling, drafty dungeons, and lack of bathing.
Chapter 16 - Chapter 16
05/17/2008Her first memory of that imposing fortress entered her mind—the thick bone-chilling mist, the perpetual dark grey sky, the black water sloshing against the boat, and the two dementors at her side. She shivered at the unnatural coldness she felt on this exceedingly warm day.
Chapter 17 - Chapter 17
12/28/2008They still haven’t forgotten, Althea thought, smirking as she determined the proper placing of the book on the shelf. Five years. It’s Michael’s fault, really. I bought them a larger sailboat, too.
Chapter 18 - Chapter 18
04/27/2010Sirius faked a mournful sigh. His gaze briefly flickered to her direction and his parted lips upturned into a crooked smile.
Chapter 19 - Chapter 19
05/13/2010Her eyes widened slightly in response to his frankness as Sirius talked more freely of his time. He was the sentinel for countless prisoners driven to insanity and despair.
Chapter 20 - Chapter 20
05/19/2010Sirius shrugged and sniffed. He looked out to sea once more. “I was thinking of going south…Brazil.”
Chapter 21 - Chapter 21
06/01/2010Sirius started to laugh. It was not his normal bark-like, jovial laughter, but a sinister laughter—a knowing laughter—that Althea thought, might’ve been heard on that street almost thirteen years ago.
