1- Learning to Fall-
This is my first attempt at a song fic... yeah.
Disclaimer: The song is called "Learning to Fall" by the band "Boys like Girls." I don't own it, I just heart it. The characters belong to Miss Joanne Rowling. I just own the idea of writing a song fic...and the idea behind it...and the person I decided to base the song on...so..enjoy!
Summary - Song fic. One Shot. Remus is at Lily and James' wedding. In mourning of his heart.
Remus walked into the church. He had on a tuxedo and he was even wearing a bow tie. It had been torture to tie...even when he realized he could use magic. Today everything seemed to be going wrong for him.
Today is the day
The worst day of my life
You're so content
it hurts me
I don't know why
The cost of misery
Is at an all
time high
I keep it hidden
Close to the surface inside
Remus Lupin stood at the end of the isle of the church, waiting for Lily. Her dad had passed on two years before hand and she had asked him to give her away. Naturally, he agreed. He turned his head over his shoulder and saw a beautiful red headed woman walking towards him. He beamed at her as she got closed to him. He held out his arm and she took it happily.
I'm learning to fall
I can't hardly
breathe
When I'm going down don't worry about me
Don't try this
at home
You said you don't see
I don't want to know that you
know
it should have been me
"Thanks for doing this, Remus." She whispered to him, smiling.
"It's the least I could do. You've helped me so much over the past several years, Lily..."
"That's what friends are for, to be there for one another."
"Lily?"
"Yes?"
"I love you."
"I love you, too, Remus."
Remus smiled at Lily. He wished that it she had said it the way she did before. Before all this happened. Before she gave into James' persistent harassment.
Could you be with him?
Or was it just a lie?
He doesn't
catch you like I do
And you don't know why
You change your
clothes and your hair
But I can't change your mind
Oh, I'm
uninvited
So unrequited now
Remus took a seat on the front pew. He watched James and Lily exchange vows as he recalled the moments he and Lily had shared. They spilled their hearts out to one another...and the one time that Remus kept to him self would prove to become the most painful.
I'm learning to fall

He stood with the rest of the crowd. Lily and James were married. Mister and Misses James Potter. Lily Potter. Remus couldn't get this through his head. He put a smile on his face and applauded with the rest of the guests.
Words screaming in my head
Why did you leave?
And I
can't stop dreaming
Watching you and him
When it should have
been
It should have been me
Lily walked over to Remus and hugged him. He awkwardly hugged back, he never wanted to leave this position, but soon let go so nothing would be suspicious.
"I'm going to miss you, Lily." He said softly.
"What do you mean? We'll be back in a week, silly." Lily said laughing.
"Yeah...but I won't be. Dumbledore and I have something worked out...and...I'm leaving in about an hour..."
"Where are you going?"
"I'll be fine, it's something for the order...Don't worry about me, you just got married! Congratulations Lily..." He said forcing a smile. Lily could tell something was odd about Remus but she didn't want to ruin this. It was her wedding day...everyone should be happy...right?
Today
is the day
The worst day of my life
