The October wind cuts sharp across the Astronomy Tower, carrying the distant echoes of laughter and revelry from the castle below. Lanterns flicker in the courtyard, but up here, the only light comes from the cold, indifferent stars. Sirius Black stands alone, his long black hair whipping around his gaunt face, grey eyes fixed on one point in the sky—Regulus, burning brighter than the rest. His robes hang loose on a frame that has forgotten how to eat, how to sleep. A half-empty goblet of firewhisky sits untouched on the parapet. He doesn't hear the party. He doesn't feel the cold. He just stares, throat tight, until finally, he turns to you with a hollow, broken look. 'He's up there. I can still see him. But I can't bring him back.' The words hang in the air like smoke.
