i almost cried, and i was mand for days!!!!! by the time i'm writing in this forum, i've read the sixth book loads of times (about twelve, actually) and i know that some people who have written i this have written in the half-blood prince forum, so they know the plot. still, i won't spoil anything. anyway... i still don't really understand why she killed off sirius. i suppose it has a meaning in the sixth book, but it's still got me stumped. i think the other reason is... oh, i just got it! if anybody writing in this hasn't read the sixth book, i won't spoil it for you guys! you'll figure it out if you haven't read it! one clue...
