The Reason Behind the Veil

by The Marauders' Quill

This is Remus' point of view toward Sirius' death. Just read and you'll understand although loads of people have done this already...

With a wrenching soul I raise this quill,

Oh so battered and worn.

I record this of my own Free Will,

Hoping that, the darker the page, the lighter the morn.

Never again to see your smile,

Or hear your barking laugh.

My memories are all I have, while

That's not even half.

You said that we would never part.

That was our solemn vow.

I ask a single question with a heavy heart.

All I ask is How?

There's only one reason that you could leave.

From this possibility I hide.

I absolutely will not believe

That you, Unbreakable You, have died.

Remus Lupin

Author's Note: Yes, I do know it's not very good, but it meant something to me. This was how I thought that Remus would feel (me too) that day in the Department of Mysteries. All I can hope is that you like it too. If not, oh well…
