For a moment, he froze as Sirius awkwardly embraced him, but very quickly found himself relaxing.
It was all rather a lot for him to take in. For over twelve months he'd been calling himself Hugo, when in fact it appear that he was a Harry. Of all the things he'd just found out it seemed a slightly petty detail to focus on, but it invoked such strange mess of emotion.
The fact that his father was dead didn't shock him quite as much as it might. During the past year he'd mentally concocted a multitude of possible histories for himself (most rather unfortunately involving Harry having been part of a vast criminal network) and the idea that he may have lost people close to him had frequently crossed his mind. He did however feel a slight pang of something unpleasant at the revelation. Still, it seemed he had a godfather and that was better than nothing.
Disengaging from the hug, he looked at Sirius with a slightly shaky smile. There were a million and one questions that he wanted to ask, but he couldn't seem to pick one to ask first. In the end there was one subject that won through.
"Did I have any living family or friends before my accident?" he asked. "I've sometimes worried that there might be somebody out there missing me, but...." He trailed off, feeling at once rather guilty at his refusal to accept Adam's offer to return his memory.
Gah, just received this reply today
