WHO: Sirius Black and Janet Van Dyne (avac) WHAT: Partner Thread! Adventuring in the unknown WHERE: Starting at the House of Dimensional Doors WHEN: March 11 RATING: Lowish. Some sad thoughts.
Sirius — was not having a great go of it the last few weeks. He’d be the first to admit it. Things were weird here in this place and there was a lot to process. Most of it was stuff that Sirius had yet to see, but had been told about. He did not question the validity of Remus’ story in that it had happened. But he didn’t believe it was how things had really gone down, either. Still, it had slowed down his cheer exponentially and it was difficult getting back to right in a place like this: mostly empty and filled with more people he didn’t know than he was used to.
Usually when he was feeling down, he’d search out Remus and demand attention, but now— well, now didn’t seem like a good time for that. Not with all the — well. All that.
It was too heavy.
So for now, he sat inside of the House. The weird one. He was camped out in the middle of the main room, right past the entrance, his legs tucked up underneath him. He had his wand out and he was lazily flicking it at a door, which was opening and closing at his will to reveal a hundred possibilities in front of him.
It was that easy, opening up a new avenue of life and then closing it off again, possibly lost for forever.
Sirius felt very small in comparison, which was something he’d never really felt before. Not like this, anyway.
