Summary
Prompt: "Perhaps it may be a relic of the Roman 'Cerealia,' held at the beginning of April. The tale is that Proserpina was sporting in the Elysian meadows, and had just filled her lap with daffodils, when Pluto carried her off to the lower world. Her mother, Ceres, heard the echo of her screams, and went in search of 'the voice;' but her search was a fool's errand, it was hunting the gowk, or looking for the 'echo of a scream.'" "April Fool." Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. 1898.
Warnings: Sirius is a bit of git; people are trapped in enclosed spaces; references implying Sirius being mistreated at home.
