As Marina and Abigail raise their glasses in a toast to the imminent 
reappearance of the last of the Blacks, Laura pulls up a chair and 
sits down, sipping at a root beer float in her hand.  Oh, Abigail-oh, 
Marina-do you really think Sirius can come back?  I so hope you're 
right!  Abigail and Marina smiled understandingly at her, noting the 
BEAR clutched in her free hand and the USS SAD DENIAL brochures 
poking out of her pocket.  "But", she said, her own happy expression 
faltering, "then why..." She looked down and mumbled her question 
into her lap.  "Come on," Marina said bracingly, "let's hear it."  
Laura took a deep breath and blurted, "Why did JKR cry when she wrote 
the 'Sirius falls behind the veil' scene if she knew he wasn't really 
dead?"  Marina and Abigail slowly lowered their glasses and looked at 
each other.  "Maybe she was crying not for Sirius but for Harry and 
what he was about to suffer,"  Abigail suggested.  "You know, Marina, 
food sounded good a minute ago, but now...Thanks a lot, Laura.  Why 
are you drinking a root beer float in a bar anyway?"
