Oh, God, why Sirius????

I was stunned when it was Sirius too. I mean I knew someone had to 
die. I had to stop reading when Arthur got attacked...I was afraid it 
was him. Then when the fight started I sorta forgot. There was so 
much going on. Then Heroione got hit....I just did not know who it 
was going to be. 

 I do think Sirius was doing the best he could. He was locked up in 
prison for so long. After his escape he was hiding out. Only really 
got to know Harry briefly. Had to go into hiding again because his 
animangus cover was blown. It is sad that Harry never gets to have a 
close family member.
