Ack! The deadline for the
Trading Places challenge was yesterday, and I haven't finished my second piece yet, so I'll post the first two chapters, and I'll get the rest up as soon as possible. I blame it all on Sirius, who insisted on hogging the spotlight and made the story longer than I had planned! ;-)

Disclaimer: No money is being made off this story; consider it a little wish fulfillment on my part. Characters belong to J.K. Rowling, except for Death, who belongs to Neil Gaiman.
Author's notes: Canon compliant up to HBP, more or less, but I made up my own ending to the series, although I borrowed a few crucial elements from DH. I borrowed the character Death from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series; she also appears in my story The Revenant (which can be found on
Moonshadow or my
website). You don't need to be familiar with the Sandman comics/graphic novels in order to follow this story, although I've thrown in a few little in-jokes for Gaiman fans.
Summary: Written for the Trading Places challenge and based on </a></strong></a>
karasu_hime's lovely
artwork. In Part 1, Sirius falls through the Veil, is greeted by Death, and is told that he has unfinished business to complete. In Part 2, the war ends, and Sirius reluctantly agrees to fulfill his mission to reunite Remus and Snape, but finds this easier said than done.
