"Brace yourself, 'cause I think I'm coming for you. Look up into the sky"

-Enter Shikari "Adieu"


Fire lighting his shining

grey eyes

recklessness filling each and every

movement his body makes

his bark-like laugh

RINGING&RINGING&RINGING

through the empty corridors

through the Quidditch Pitch

through the Forbidden Forest.

Not an ounce of concern

ever dawned on his brow.

Never a thought of fear

crossed his mind.

He was wild

he was f r e e

he was everything everyone wanted to be.

That Black was never (grounded) by

the idea of death riding on his back.

He was the alpha wolf

and you three were his pack

(no matter if James wanted to admit it or not.)

Peter was the fear.

James was the mastermind.

You were the magnet h-o-l-d-i-n-g everyone together.

But he, Sirius, he was the protector.

He would've given his life

for any one of you three

without a second thought.

He would've defended you guys

until his last breath esca p e d him.

He loved his fellow Marauders

(especially you)

more than anyone ever could

but now he's gone

(and not just to Azkaban this time.)

His recklessness finally

c a u ght

up to him

and a single act of heroism

to protect what was left of James

brought him to his

demise

(he wouldn't have had it any other way, though.)

But without him by your side

you truly are all

a l o n e

and that's why you have to do this

even if it means leaving

your wife and child behind.

x x x x x x x x x x x x

You run through the halls

that you once roamed as a pack

but this time you're taking

his place

because it's the only way

you can r e a c h him

without an act of cowardliness.

*F*L*A*S*H*E*S* of light fly from

every direction

&you're just shooting them back

in a blind frenzy.

You're just trying to

take down as many of them

before your plan foils out

and one catches up with you.

Your recklessness is an exact

replica of what his once was

and you know that he would be proud

to see you right now

to see you without any trace of fear

to see you giving everything up just to save others

but that's not the real reason

you're doing this.

As every one of your footsteps

hits the floor

his face flashes before your mind's eye

and all you can think about is

getting back to him

back to his arms

back to his heart.

And when that green light

makes contact with your chest

you've never felt so selfish

or happy.
