"You couldn't have known," Harry promises him, holding Sirius close. He's both grateful and heartbroken that he gets to offer comfort to Sirius like this; he's so grateful to have his godfather alive, and it hurts, having to be the one to inform of his parents' deaths. The deaths of two of his best friends. Harry's own eyes burn with tears, and his chest and throat feel tight. Still, he doesn't lessen his hold on his godfather.
"You couldn't have known," he repeats. "You didn't do anything wrong. It's no one's fault but Voldemort's and Pettigrew's."
Sirius is barely older than Harry himself now. He hasn't even known Azkaban yet. And that breaks his heart even further.
