Log;

He should have been expected this sort of thing to happen, given that he was in the bloody City. The word impossible wouldn't be found in a dictionary here, and after meeting the teenage version of Sirius Black, this was only normal, wasn't it?

But City or not, Harry had always wondered what he'd say to his Godfather after his death - the man who'd still be alive if he hadn't been so impulsive. He'd brushed upon the words now and then, but now he finally had the chance. To apologize. Yet as he stepped toward the fountain, eyes meeting his Godfather, he could only wonder where there words went.

"...Sirius."

"But you weren't best friends with a soon-to-be Dark Lord, while also plotting a rise over Muggles, were you? It's completely different! This is bloody Dumbledore, we're talking about - defeater of Grindelwald and head of the Order of the Phoenix. Yet here he's nearly taking something from Voldemort's own mouth. For the Greater Good."

Harry sighed, closing his eyes as he sorted out his thoughts. It had only been a few days since setting eyes on Rita Skeeter's book and the letter, and he was still left confused, more so conflicted over the late Headmaster. This was the man who'd he trusted and looked up to since entering the Wizarding World, someone who's words and directions he'd follow despite the entailing risk. Never had Harry fathomed that Dumbledore could even think negatively of Muggles.

"He was always someone I could undoubtedly trust, so the fact that I'm even questioning him is hard to believe. But after reading that letter, hearing about his sister... I don't know what to think, Sirius."

Sirius nodded, hearing the anger and the betrayal. "Does it change what you have to do?"

He didn't want to sound like he didn't care, because he did. He understood what it meant to have your best friend let you down. "Harry, listen to me. What you're doing you have to do with your whole heart. Otherwise something like this, it could consume you."

He gave his godson another hug. "If I could do this for you, I would in a heartbeat."

"No, it doesn't."

Harry shook his head as he spoke, his anger abated Sirius's reassurance - his embrace.

"I'm not fighting Voldemort for Dumbledore's sake or just because he told me to. In the end, I'm fighting because I have to, because I'm the only one who can. No one, Muggle or Wizard, can live in a world controlled by Voldemort," he stated, calmly.

There would be no future for him if he didn't stop Voldemort, nor anyone that didn't fall under Voldemort's ideals.

"Thank you, Sirius. For everything."

He looked up at Sirius once more, staring him in the eyes with a smile.
