Re: Peter - Sirius - Onlookers? Referees?
Peter had known this wasn't going to be easy, and maybe he'd gotten soft in the last few weeks, but the look of utter hatred on Sirius' face almost had him retreating. But he squared his shoulders, because this needed to be done.
"Well, I have things I need to say to you," he said firmly. "First off, I have no idea why my future self did what he did, and I can never atone for that or make excuses." He licked his lips, wondering why this was so hard.
"I only know at the time I came back I was depressed and angry and that must have turned me. I wish there was something else I could say, but there's not."
