Oh... *a little taken aback* I thought -- So, you and Severus don't come from the same place? *winces in sympathy* Well. *not wanting to promise anything* It's possible the transformation can clear some of that up.

*smiles, and shrugs gracefully* Whenever you like. I've told you everything I know about "seeing" your likely form, so if you want to pursue that, I'm afraid you're on your own. If you need or want any help with partial Transfiguration [body only, not mind] I can show you how it's done.
Don't worry about the movie lines!
And I (and even Sirius, on some level) know that Q is not being deliberately obtuse -- it's just that Sirius is not a very patient person :/
