Summary: Sirius' heart has always been as big as the city he calls home.
Notes: A huge thank you to you,chibitoaster, for your pinch-hit! Illogically, perhaps, this was inspired by your wild-card call for "Winnipeg, Canada," which got me thinking about geography. When I saw brighty had already tackled Winnipeg, this project took another turn. A very happy new year to you, and may it be filled with fannish joys!
Sirius’ heart has always been as big as the city he calls home. But it has grown over the years.
As a child he loved as his family did. His affections were narrow, ancient, parochial.
The friendships he made at school transformed him. He grew and learned to love people who were different from himself.
Working for the Order of the Phoenix taught him to know the geography of his own heart, to make connections, to love something larger than his own life.
Azkaban is best not spoken of.
Learning to love Harry from afar, to protect him, as he did that year, took a leap of faith.
But it was only falling in love at that age of 35 that made his heart as big as it is today.
This humbles me more than I can tell you.
The end.
