Lessons in Sarahish Part Three

Azkaban...a place or a situation that is either miserable or just plain sucky. It is usually applied in terms of work, annoyances and sometimes a tragic situation.

Origins... I am unhealthy obsessed with Harry Potter. The third book remains one of the main reasons I have chosen to attempt a career in literature. The character development just floors me every single time I read it. Since the age of 16 that book has shaped so much of my life. One of the things that strikes me most is just how terrible Azkaban prison seems...even tho she never actually wrote a detailed description of what life in Az is like, but we see that everyone who leaves returns either insane or deeply haunted, and looking like concentration camp victims. The prison literally sucks every happy memory from their victims. Granted I have never been anywhere near as terrible as Azkaban but there are certianly several places/situations that make speakers of Sarahish feel pretty darn miserable.  

Example: "I am in overdraft again! What an Azkaban!"

8 years later...and still in Sirius denial.....

I am almost finished reading OOTP....and still Sirius' death hurts me every bit as it did one summer day alot like this 8 years ago. I'll ramble more about this later I am sure, and contemplate as to why it hurts so much.One line I have never noticed before was that Harry felt like the absence of Sirius, of his guardian was like an empty black hole in his heart. I burst into fresh tears at that one.

It's been 8 years...the books are over. He's as good as dead...and yet I can't help but to hope exhasutivly for a loophole.  Sirius denial still......

But for now here are fitting lyrics.

"Tears of hope run down my skin, tears for you that will not dry. They magnify the one within, and let the outside slowly die."   Remember When It Rained, Josh Groban.

To me that line speaks of feeling heartbroken over something that never had a chance or that was never even real...but you still think fondly of that vague hope.

Sirius Black....as I see him in Hogwarts years.
