Harry & Sirius
Harry didn’t know what was going on.
He was gone.
Gone.
Sirius, the last person of Harry’s family, gone.
The Order sent Harry back to Privet Drive and Harry decided that if Sirius was gone then all bets were off.
Harry stayed out all night, picking fights and winning more often than not.
Harry drank with other teens in the neighborhood. Harry smoked and he helped boost a car.
When Harry was doing as many terrible things as he could, he could convince himself that he didn’t miss Sirius.
Without Sirius there to be disappointed in him, then Harry was free. He didn’t miss him.
Harry didn’t.
Harry wondered if Sirius missed him.
It was so unfair that Sirius was gone, taken too soon, disappeared from life and the godson that needed him so desperately.
The Order was ‘concerned’ and his friends said Harry was ‘self-destructing’.
And Harry liked that.
Without Sirius around, there was no reason to play nice anymore - no need to be the hero.
Now that Sirius was gone, Harry could be the villain.
