Summary
He turns the paper over. From her. Her scrawling handwriting on the flipped side of the paper. For Sirius Black, it says. He unfolds it. A poem. A whole page torn from a book by the looks of it. There are no other words. Just the printed poem.
Because I could not stop for Death - He kindly stopped for me -
His eyes scan the poem three times, maybe four. He doesn’t really know what half of it means, they’re just words to him. But she thought of it for him, the words meant something to her. Perhaps it’s better if they remain a mystery. He refolds the paper, so that the dedication is upright and facing him. Then, he tucks it into his wallet. For me, he thinks.

Summary
The house is quiet. The sound of the sea trickles through. The Isle of Arran sings to her when they are alone.
She dreads what they have to come: the danger she’d let herself believe was a distant dream. If only they could have some more time. If only Harry and Mary were a bit older. She, herself, is only thirty-two.
The meeting first, she thinks, then a day. If only.
~~~
If there were three Evans sisters.
