Why Sirius isn't Dead
An original editorial by Jenna Post
Look, I for one am very upset (to say the least)
that Sirius black was declared 'dead', but startling
new research can prove that he may not have died at
all. There are many theories, each of them as less
likely as the next, but we cannot rule them out. We
owe it to Sirius, to Harry, and to every single Harry
Potter fan to wield the sword of truth and slay the
awful lies.
Here are my theories: What if Sirius held
information that was important to The Order, so he was
one of Voldemort's targets? Therefore, since Harry was
not skilled in the 'art' of Occlumency, Voldemort
might be able to harm him through Harry. Not only
would it kill Sirius, it would surely tear Harry
apart, harming his own Godfather.
Why didn't they use a time turner? Even if someone
did use a time turner to go back while Sirius was
falling through The Veil, he would not have fallen
through in the first place to be rescued, in that
case, a time turner would have done more harm than
good. But there is another way, it has hardly been spoken of, but it would work: What if someone went
back to when Sirius was still at 12 Grimmauld Place, and took a Polyjuice Potion to transform into him,
then that person went to The Department of
Mysteries, knowing their fate was on the other side of
The Veil, but Sirius would have never even been in the
Department of Mysteries. It is highly possible,
except, who would do that?
And another thing, doesn't it seem like Remus and
the others are in a strange mood near the end of OotP,
like they're a little too happy. I know that if one of
my longtime friends had been recently deceased, I
would be a wreck. They are not upset enough!
Since we don't even know what The Veil is, it
makes it harder to theorize. What if it is just a
doorway? I haven't heard anybody voice that option. If
it was just a doorway, then why didn't Sirius come
back out right away? Well, it could be because
Bellatrix hit him with a stunner (the light was red),
because I am sure it wouldn't be a mere disarm. Well even if Sirius was stunned, then why didn't Remus let
Harry through? The answer corresponds to my first theory: That Harry needs to think he is dead.
And if Sirius is dead (which he isn't), then what
the heck was PoA for? If not to give Harry dreams that
would be crushed? I thought Rowling cared about Harry.
If she did, she wouldnÂ’t want to cause him more
emotional pain than the awful trauma he has already
faced.
I heard (from a very reliable source) that in an
interview before OotP was released that Rowling said
she would be killing off a character whom she enjoyed
writing about. If she enjoyed Sirius so much, then why
would she make his fans hurt like this? The answer is:
she doesn't enjoy writing about him as much as the
Death Eaters. Weren't some Death Eaters killed?
As you can tell, I am deeply upset at what
happened. Sirius was, is, and will always be my
favorite character.
