Temptation on the whispering breeze - a Sirius drabble
Fandom: Harry Potter
Character: Sirius Black
Summary: In Azkaban, the only escape from suffering is in dreams.
Challenge: Snow for Sirius100
Rating: G
Canine form kept him sane, true. But dogginess was its own punishment. The scent of sweat stung his eyes. The cries of the prisoners tortured his sensitive ears. Every sense screamed. Tormenting him as surely as the memories of human form.
And so, Sirius dreamt of weather. Drowsing in the caress of sunshine. Temptation on the whispering breeze, calling him to dance. Water, cascading, as rain fell from his coat.
And winter. When his howl liberated icicles in showers of diamonds. His paws left masterpieces in the snow, intricate patterns only he understood. And, somewhere, far away, he was happy.
