| You are mistaken if you think that Sirius stopped fighting to taunt
| and play with Bellatrix.  Sirius did shout, " Come on you can do
| better than that"  during the dual while they were fighting.  It is a
| classic technique used by some one who is out classed and afraid to
| get their opponent angry, so they will make a mistake which can then
| taken advantage of.   Sirius was desperate and grabbing at straws,
| and unfortunately for Sirius Black he underestimated his opponent,
| and instead Bellatrix took advantage of his moment of distraction to
| throw the deathblow at him.  A foolish mistake on Sirius part which,
| when you consider his character not at all surprising.

[Lee says]: Yes...but the distraction technique isn't only something that
might be used by someone who feels outclassed, I think.  Perhaps he knew
that Bellatrix might be somewhat distractible and not as totally focused as
she should have been and tried to take advantage of this.  Unfortunately,
she launched a surprise at him.

Now, this is where I deviate a bit from the "Bellatrix killed Sirius" as an
actual occurrence.

They were in that room of--uh--souls, I guess one would call it.  They were
right by the curtain.  I am going to postulate that Bellatrix stunned
Sirius; yes, he was dern surprised because he probably thought he'd knocked
her off of her game.  He fell right through the veil and disappeared.  Is it
possible that once one goes through the veil, one can never return?

In a nutshell, my opinion, Sirius dies when he falls through the veil, not
from the actual spell imparted by Bellatrix.

Okay, so I'm twisted??  I've been told that for years.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
