  1. 'You know what this means?' Sirius said abruptly to Harry, as they made their slow progress along the tunnel. 'Turning Pettigrew in?'
  2. 'You're free,' said Harry.
  3. 'Yes...' said Sirius. 'But I'm also - I don't know if anyone ever told you - I'm your godfather.'
  4. 'Yeah, I knew that,' said Harry.
