Letter

“Who’s Sirius Black?” Harry asked the night before the start of classes.
Severus’ head snapped up at him, shocked from his book and breath stuttering. “What has brought on this question?” Harry usually asked questions about the magic world, when he did speak up, questions that weren’t laced with omissions.
“He’s on the front cover of your newspaper a lot.” He answered, neglecting to mention the letter he still hadn’t opened.
