“Harry…I as good as killed them,” he croaked. “I persuaded Lily and James to change to Peter at the last moment, persuaded them to use him a Secret-Keeper instead of me…I’m to blame, I know it…the night they died, I’d arranged to check on Peter, make sure he was still safe, but when I arrived at his hiding place, he’d gone. Yet there was no sign of struggle. It didn’t feel right. I was scared. I set out for your parents’ house straight away. And when I saw their house, destroyed, and their bodies - I realised what Peter must have done. What I’d done.”

 #I have more Sirius feelings than I can manage #because he lost everything that night #His best friend and his godson and Remus and Lily #and he blames himself totally #he really believes he killed them #and he’s 22 and panicking and the only thing he can hold onto is revenge #but he’s reckless and self destructive and unthinking #and so of course that doesn’t go to plan either #and he really believes he deserves to be in Azkaban #deserves to suffer for his sins #and he needs someone to believe in him and to tell him it is not his fault #and no one does - not this time #and my heart breaks again and again and again #fuck this #not emotionally stable enough for this shit

Fucking Sirius.

Best character. 

MAH BABY.

here-is-the-place:

When people say these books are children’s books, as if to demean them, I balk. These books dealt with themes that adults do not fully understand or wish to. It dealt with racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, prejudice, and general ignorance. These books taught us that it doesn’t matter how you were raised, but that you get to choose to be kind, loyal, brave, and true. They taught us to be strong under the pressures of this world and to hold fast to what we know to be right. These books taught me so much, they changed me as a person. So just because they’re set against a fantastical backdrop with young protagonists does not mean that their value is any less real.
