The Celtic Cross, part 4

Sirius left this memory behind again as he looked up and into Kreacher’s eyes. Kreacher too, Sirius recalled, did not consider himself particularly lucky.

But it didn’t do to cower in the face of fate. Sirius had believed this when he was only seventeen or eighteen and had his fortune told, and he was relieved to discover that he still believed it

"He had never believed that fate should go unchallenged." This is so Sirius.

I like the way the reading seems both clear and ambiguous, simultaneously; the foreshadowing is so strong, yet there are always other truths, other choices. Also like Kreacher being so torn between dismissal and overwhelming curiosity.

“I … I don’t know, Kreacher,” Sirius responded

What did I say about blockheads earlier? *shakes him*

all struggles done

I wonder if that is what he's been wishing for more than once during his time in Azkaban.

But he had never before in his life felt so transcendently alive as he had in that moment

And that is the double life of Sirius.

Oh, yes - it is the double life of Sirius. See? He can never be completely counted out.
