SSSusan:
Me, too, Catlady.  I confess (though it likely will
make me look tres stupide) that I thought Tonks &
Sirius might have changed places before the MoM battle
and that it was TONKS who went through the veil and
thus Sirius who was attempting to carry himself off at
Tonks.

I mean, it's stupid, but I couldn't figure out why
else she had a four-legged patronus (that looked a bit
like a dog in GrandPre's illustration) and that she
couldn't metamorph (verb?) any longer.

I'm actually GLAD it wasn't Sirius, but the thought
crossed my mind.  It was a rather strange bit of the
story.
