Flashbulbs go off, as loud as they are bright. Everything is slow – his heart, his steps. There’s no way to shield himself from the public eye, from the inner eye that replays what happened until it is all he sees, until it obliterates the future and obscures the past.

Harry moves through space and time, guided by Dumbledore’s sure hand. A flashbulb goes off just out of sight, striking his peripheral vision pearl-white, like the veil.

In the end, things don’t go black, Harry realizes. Sirius’s death is a blizzard, numbing him cold, blinding him with its mute white, forever.
