I found this chapter to be a challenge to write, because the emotions are so intense. I didn't want to trivialize what they were each experiencing but it is hard to describe the anguish Sirius must be feeling with mere words. His return would evoke a strong emotional response from everyone around him and some of that would be confusing for him. The next chapter will continue to focus on his loss when they go to Godric's Hollow.

Innocence is proving difficult for me to write because emotionally I'm having difficulty tapping into the feelings that a couple in love would share. I have started on the chapter but no idea when it will be completed.
