[His voice is a bit...odd. It's overly cheerful, quite obviously fake.]

Do you think everything about the Barge is a test? Every last moment? Do you think it purposefully puts the most horrid, rancid, despicable things on board just to screw with you?

[Private to Severus]

Hello, Snivellus. Why is your evil arse skulking about, allowed to draw breath, when so many good people are dead?

Wichita said I would be tested. Better you than the rat. But stay away from me. I don't need one of Voldemort's minions to remind me of what he did to James and Lily and what he tried to do to Harry.

How do you live with yourself?

[Private to Wichita]

You knew Snivellus was on board and you didn't tell me. Thanks. I could have ran right into his ugly face in a corridor and then what?

[Private to Merlin]

I hear you're a wizard. Why didn't you tell me?

I believe so, yes. My wardens tells me that this is not so, but I do not believe him. This is something that he would do to mortals and to punish me for my decisions.

It's hard to know what's truth and what's lies around here, isn't it? Here I'm being fed all this talk about second chances and saving someone, now I'm seeing my old enemy has been on the Barge all along. My Warden knew and didn't tell me.

Your first lesson, mortal, is that wardens lie. They are also rather stupid and unorganized.

Re: [Inmate Filter.]

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

I was afraid of that. I should have known it was too good to be true. Rather, I knew it was too good to be true, but a part of me didn't care.

Lesson learned.

What is your name?

Re: [Inmate Filter.]

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

My name is Sirius. What's yours?

[Inmate Filter.]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Like the star?

I am Persephone.

Re: [Inmate Filter.]

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

Yes, exactly like the star. Bit of a tradition in my family.

Persephone, like the goddess?

Re: [Inmate Filter.]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I am the Goddess.

Re: [Inmate Filter.]

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

You... [A bit taken aback]

The actual Goddess? From the myths?

[Inmate Filter.]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Yes, the Goddess of the Spring and the Queen of the Underworld.

...

[Ladies and gentleman, take a picture. Sirius Black is speechless. A little.]

I...blimey. How did you end up here?

Re: [Inmate Filter.]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

It is a very long story, Sirius. I was once a warden here.

Re: [Inmate Filter.]

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

Well, if you ever want to go into it, I have nothing but time and I would love to hear it.

[Inmate Filter.]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

We shall see, Sirius. I will look forward to such a time.

Re: [Inmate Filter.]

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

And I will, too.

[Persephone has been doing some reading, and she peers at him intently for a moment, with a bit of glee on her face.]

You do not like Severus Snape?

Re: [Private-video.]

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

[Sirius eyes the screen, squeaky clean now that his wand has been restored to him. He smiles, a little, but the smile creeps wider and wider as he takes in the look of glee.]

Understatement of the century, love. I despise him.

Private-video.]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I despise him as well. It seems we have much in common, Sirius.

Re: Private-video.]

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. I'm glad to hear it, Persephone.

[ Private-video.]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

We shall need to meet in my garden soon, Sirius.

Re: [ Private-video.]

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

I look forward to it.

[ Private-video.]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Do you want to meet me there in twenty minutes?

Re: [ Private-video.]

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

Yes. Where do I find it?

[ Private-video.]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

On the deck. Or you may come to the one in my room, but it is smaller.
