He came back with a start, much like he had the morning when Severus had shown up in his room without explanation and put an end to his second life at the hotel. He brought a hand up to his chest, checking himself over, no more blood, no evidence at all of what had happened either on his body or in his room. Like it had all been some sort of dream. But a quick glance at the net had been more than enough to tell him that it hadn't been just a dream. He'd been gone for days by the look of it. A part of him was tempted to seek out Snape and pay him back in kind, but in truth staring down his own death was not something he wanted to do again. No matter how likely it was that he'd simply return again a few days later. So instead he decided there was only one other person he could think to go to in that moment. He'd been not exactly avoiding Regulus, but giving him plenty of space since they'd last tried to sit down and have a real conversation. But after what had just happened he felt like he needed some one to keep him from seeking out Severus and killing him starting them off on some sort of irreversible pattern that could not be stopped. "Did you just spend a week attached at the hip to someone else?" he asked Regulus when he found him, his emotions swirling, not certain if he was angry, or sad, or maybe just frustrated and tired. He was tired of this, of the stupid mistake he'd made that cost him so much still taking from him. It might have been easy to say that his death hadn't mattered, but Sirius still remembered what it felt like to feel his body give up on him, and that final curse that had made it all stop. It could have been peaceful in a way, but he didn't feel any kind of peace. He just felt confused and a hollow ache that he didn't quite know how to soothe. |
