"No, not giving up, but being realistic," he answered. "I'll give them as much time I can to find a cure. That's the best I can do."
He sighed. "I didn't tell everyone, Dylan. I needed to tell Sirius, but my Dad is going to need someone, and when I told him, my grandfather wasn't back yet, and my Dad will talk to Sirius. I needed to take care of him."
He smiled. "I trust you. Sirius is... well cool and awesome, but my dad really knows you. It'll be different coming from you. No, just tell him the truth: that I'll be dead to save people that mean something to me and that he should understand what it means to die for someone. Tell him that he should focus on keeping our family safe. There's enough of them that he'll barely have time to breathe."
