Summary
When Sirius reached the shore, having swum all the way from Azkaban, his body shaking with the exertion and the cold, he ran. He ran, and he ran, and he didn’t stop. It was like a nightmare: you have to keep running, because if you don’t keep running, that something looming behind you will catch up. But it wasn’t a nightmare. Sirius has always known running, running as far and fast as you can until you find safe harbor, and he knew this wasn’t a nightmare: there was the sun, for the first time in thirteen years, burning at his black fur; there was the asphalt beneath his feet, burning at the pads of his four paws, wearing away the nails that had grown long with only a single cell to pace the length of.
He ran, and he kept running, not because someone would catch him, but because if he stopped, he knew he wouldn’t be able to start again.He ran until he reached the sea. Then, staring out, standing still at last, he finally had the thought that if he was going to find his way to Devon, he was going to need to find a sign.
