Harry Reflects on Sirius's Life and His Own

PAGES: 23-24

As Harry writes to Sirius, he reflects on the bond he shares with his godfather, who had been in Azkaban for years for crimes he didn't commit. Harry recalls how Peter Pettigrew had framed Sirius, and how, after discovering the truth, he had helped Sirius escape on a hippogriff. He laments that, because Peter Pettigrew escaped, Sirius is still on the run, and Harry cannot live with him as he had hoped.
