Chapter 185 - Post War - Early Summer 1995

umbledore's patronus arrives warning that Sirius is coming to the flat after Voldemort's return at the Triwizard Tournament. Sirius arrives severely traumatized from Azkaban, and the Order of the Phoenix is reforming. Grant tactfully leaves to get Chinese food while Remus and Sirius navigate their first real conversation in over a decade, with Sirius struggling with PTSD, memory issues, and constant need for companionship. They argue about rejoining the war effort, with Remus reluctant after losing everyone last time while Sirius insists they owe it to Lily and James, creating extreme tension in the cramped flat with Grant still living there.
