"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.
The lyrics at the beginning belong to the amazing band Enter Shikari's amazing song "Adieu." Go listen to it right now!
