He tries to muster up some skepticism but falls short and only nods. “I missed you too,” he says. “I’m sorry. I didn’t come here looking for Calliope.”
I shake my head, knowing it’s a lie. Even I come here looking for Calliope and I know better than he does how unlikely it would be to find her.

“You don’t have anything to apologize for, Sirius.” I sigh.
“I loved her when I had no right to,” he tells me.
Yeah... that was sort of a wicked preview I suppose. For clarification this is a couple days after Harry's third year has let out and Sirius and Remus have both wandered into the old DeSole house. If you're surprised by Sirius' confession then good. If you aren't then you are way ahead of me.
Say hello to me! I miss you all.
