[Sirius Black is in the bar, though he hasn't started in on the alcohol yet. He's simply nursing a cup of tea, and staring into space (no pun intended) -- forgive him, he's a little disoriented. Eventually, he speaks;]Generally when you get killed, it means someone else was around to do the killing...only we didn't see anyone else. Didn't even

[enters the bar just in time to hear that, and turns to the man in alarm] Wait, you...you mean you've died?

[seriousmarauder]

[he gives Oliver a wry smile] Sort of? I'm not sure it counts when you've been brought back.

[oliverplus]

[sits down next to him] It counts. [eyes that cup of tea, worried] But it happened on the Plane?

[seriousmarauder]

[nods, closing his eyes as he remembers] We died together, me and Remus. I'm just hoping Harry doesn't find out.

[lamb_of_gold]

[In the bar for TEA. But.]

Then how did it happen?

[seriousmarauder]

[quietly] That's what I've got to figure out. Has anybody else been killed lately?

[lamb_of_gold]

Not to my knowledge, but I admit, I've been quite distracted lately.

[seriousmarauder]

Distracted? By what? I could use a few distractions.

{Diva, on the other hand, is on her way to trashed, so she sits next to Sirius, putting her head in her hands and smiling}

Oh, no, did Sirius and Remus die too? How sad! Mm, I was wondering if it was anyone else, so no one had really mentioned anything... It's kind of funny that way, I think. {Airily,} No one really even notices anymore~

[seriousmarauder]

[frowns, concerned] How'd you die, Diva?

[madamemoiselle]

Alone, like always! Is that sad?

[seriousmarauder]

[sighs] That's not exactly what I meant. But it is sad, and I'm sorry I wasn't there.

[Keeping secrets from wizards who have a habit of staying under Invisibility Cloaks in strange places.]

[Places like the bar where nobody knows his name and he's been hoping to find his godfather again. He waits until everyone else but Sirius has left before pulling the cloak off.]

You died.

[It's not a question.]

[seriousmarauder]

[Sirius winces, and nods] I wondered if you'd gotten that cloak. ...You've been listening the whole time, haven't you?

[riseonemoreday]

Dumbledore gave it to me.

[He nods, folds the cloak up, and puts it away.]

Sort of hard not to with everyone getting to hear about it.

[seriousmarauder]

[he smiles faintly at that] Good, I'm glad. About the first bit, I mean. ...I didn't want you to find out about all this.

[le_traitre]

You are not the only one to die so suddenly, monsieur.

[seriousmarauder]

[glances up at him] So I've heard. Have you died too?

[le_traitre]

I have. Like you, there was no one around to give me such a death, so it is...bizarre.

[seriousmarauder]

I'm sorry. I think it's got to be some sort of magic, but I can't figure out how they've done it.
