PSA - Wizards are good at magic and bad at technology.

[Sirius is looking a bit worse for wear already, but he still manages to talk without slurring, sobbing or crying, so he'll count that as a win.]

If anyone wants a silencing charm, tell me. I've made some potions, too, they only last for a few hours. Today they're on the house.

[He meant to lock this to Remus. Didn't work. Damn technology.]

Moony, I need you. Please.

[He also fails at locking this to Harry.]

How are you doing?

[He's looking a bit frantic by the time Sirius finds him, but he manages to turn off his mobile and shove it into a pocket before being hugged.]

I'm sorry! Sirius, I'm sorry, I wanted to tell you before, but I was so happy to see you and Remus, I didn't want to spoil it by bringing up all of this stuff!

[He pulls away just enough to look up at him earnestly.]

There were seven Horcruxes. We had to find and destroy them so that Voldemort would be mortal, but then I found out that I was one of them so I had to let him kill me to be rid of the bit of his soul that had latched onto me. Yeah, I died. I had to, to save my friends! So many people have died because of me, Sirius... I couldn't let anyone else get hurt. Mum and Dad, you and Remus and Tonks.. my friends, and people I've never even met!

[He stops there, and the next sound out of his mouth sounds something like a sob. Between the distress of the island kidnapping him and being forced to retell the things that have happened to him over the past year... well, it's kind of overwhelming.

When he can finally find his words again, he continues.] I found the Resurrection Stone, though. Dumbledore hid it in the Snitch I caught my first Quidditch match, and it opened up before I met Voldemort in the Forest. So I died. I hardly felt anything, just like you told me when everyone's spirits showed up. ..But then I came back.

Tonks?

[Andromeda? Ted? Their daughter? Sirius feels sick at the thought either way, but it's nothing compared to the other revelation that's just about enough to make him forget about breathing.]

Remus... [His own death had't fazed him much. He had expected that. But Remus? Sirius swallows, forces himself to push that wave of grief away for now, because Harry sobbed and being strong for him takes precedence. So he just pulls him into a hug again and breathes a sigh of relief, somehow, at hearing that Harry is still alive. Alive again.]

No wonder everyone knows you. You're amazing, Harry.

Your niece, Nymphadora, but she would always tell us right off if we called her that. She was an Auror, a member of the Order of the Phoenix. And Bellatrix-- [His voice catches. Bellatrix. She was one of the worst of them.] --Bellatrix murdered her during the battle at Hogwarts, just like--

[He really is crying, and not even bothering to try and conceal the fact.] --like she did you. [The way he's looking at Sirius now might suggest that he's still searching for some kind of evidence that this is all a joke. That the person in front of him is a hallucination or the type of spirit that appeared to him as a result of Priori Incantatem or the Resurrection Stone.] And Remus.. They were married. They had a son, Teddy.

I'm not. [he shakes his head.] Everyone who's helped me.. they're amazing. Not me.

[...Harry, he loves you, he really does, but that is a bit much to take all at once.]

Bellatrix...

[There is quite a bit of hatred to go with that name and it is less due to killing him than it is a long list of other offenses and now two new ones just got added. How...]

My niece and Remus?

[That is a look of pure disbelief. He thought his emotions to Remus couldn't become more complicated, but it turned out he was wrong. Still, there is Harry to focus on and it doesn't take much to see how much all of this weighs on him.]

Yes, you are. I'm proud of you. I'm glad you had help, Harry, but, damn, I've never been so proud of someone.

[If he could stop himself, he would! D: He looks as if he's trying really hard to keep his mouth shut as he scrubs the back of his hand across his cheeks.]

She was a monster, but she's dead, too.

Remus and Tonks were married and had a son, yeah. Teddy. He's my godson.

[He still hates that he's dumping all of this horrible information on Sirius, but the praise does erase a bit of the misery from his expression.] That really means a lot from you... Thanks.

[action]

[alwaysimpure]

You have a godson too!

[...this might not be the smartest statement, but his mind is kind of still reeling and he isn't even remotely sure what to say to any of that. Does Remus know?]

I'd have been proud of you no matter what, Harry, but seems like you were dead set on actually turning out the best you could be. I'm so glad we're getting a chance to spend time together here.
