I do know one thing; prison changed him. It's an obvious statement; but, he isn't the same hot-headed Gryffindor that he was in school; he thinks before he acts; which, if he had done that originally; would have changed things. At least I think it would have, it's hard to say after so many years. It makes me wonder how much Sirius would have changed if he'd been able to keep seeing Trixie. Trixie, what happened to you? I can't understand how you could have changed so much. I realize a Marriage Contract can cause changes; Selene knows that my own contract to Lucius forced unwelcome changes on my attitudes and behavior; but not to the extremes that you showed. My baby sister went from a mischievous, lively girl to a cruel, vicious harpy. If you hadn't been forced into that contract by our parents, would you have remained the same loving free-spirit? From what you told me when we were still free, you and Sirius had been happy together. Nobody would have blinked at you getting together; we've got to protect the bloodlines, after all.
