"You didn't kill him," Harry tells him quietly, watching Sirius as he paces, trembling. "You didn't, and I'm glad for it. I know my father would be too. He wouldn't want you to turn into a killer."
But he also doesn't know how to tell Sirius this next part. The bleakness of his future that looms like stormclouds, ever about to burst open into violence. He doesn't know how to tell his godfather he spends the next twelve years of his life in Azkaban, an innocent man.
He exhales deeply, then explains.
"You didn't kill Peter," he says. "But Peter made the world think you did."
