Remus's thoughts
Sirius Thoughts
Music Lyrics
Graduation at Hogwarts
Remus looked sadly at Sirius once they were alone.
"What is wrong Remi?"
"Now that hogwarts is over, we will be moving. You to Austrailia and myself staying here. Who knows when we will see each other again."
Sirius looked at the floor.
"I know, Remi, I know. It kills me to think, we wont see each other everyday like we have for the last seven years."
Remus looked at Sirius, and moved closer to him.
"Ill miss you so much Siri. I don't know how ill deal with the transformations with out you." Remus spoke softly hugging Sirius tightly
"You'll be fine Moony." Sirius sad sadly hugging Remus just as tightly. "Ill miss you a lot as well."
They let go of each other and Sirius walked to his family. Remus turned around and ran away from Sirius and his family. Wandering into Hogsmead village. Humming the one song Sirius loved from the musicale they saw together. Together the family took a portkey from the school grounds to their new home Austrailia. Once they arrived Sirius walked into his new room and stared at it. He didn't like it. It wasn't the same without Remus and James there. He smiled sadly, when he thought of his best friends. He walked out of his room and to the front door.
"Where are you off to Sirius?" His mother asked
"To take a walk. I will be back before dinner." Sirius said walking outside
Sirius began walking down the sidewalks of his new town. Singing a song he and Remus once heard at a musicale in muggle London.
Siri:
I've heard it said
that people come into our lives
for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
and we are lead to those
who help us most to grow
if we let them and we help them in return
Well i dont know if I believe that's true
But i know i'm who I am today
because I knew you.
Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
halfway through the wood.
Who can say if i've been changed for the better
but, because I knew you
I have been changed for good.
Moony, why did you have to stay in London?
Remi:
It well may be
that we will never meet again in this lifetime
so let me say before we part
so much of me is made from what I learned from you
You'll be with me
like a hand print on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have rewritten mine
by being my friend
I was always alone til I met you.
Like a ship blown from it's mooring
by a wind off the sea
like a seed dropped by a sky bird
in a distant wood
Who can say if i've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
Padfoot, I miss you so much.
Siri:
because i knew you
Both:
I have been changed for good
Remus leaned against a wall on the edge of the village
Remi:
And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness
for the things i've done you blame me for
Sirius sat on the brick gate of his neightbors home.
Siri:
But then I guess we know there's blame to share
Both:
And none of it seems to matter any more
They both stood up straight and continued to walk down the streets they were on.
Siri and Remi:
Like a comet pulled from orbit
(like a ship blown from its mooring)
As it passes a sun
(By a wind off the sea)
Like a stream that meets a boulder
(Like a seed dropped by a bird)
Halfway through the wood
(in a wood)
They sat by a small lake by their homes.
Both:
Who can say if i've been changed for the better?
I do believe i have been changed for the better
This wont be the end.
This cant be the end.
Siri:
And because I knew you
Remi.
Remii:
because I knew you
Siri.
Both:
because i knew you,
I have been changed...
for... good
Neither one knew that the other was singing that same song in a different area.
I have been changed for the better, Remi, because I knew you.
I have been changed for the better, Siri, because I knew you.
Fini.
I have to thank two girls I had class with for singing this song a few months ago. Otherwise I would have never heard it. So thank you to Sam Bradshaw and Lydia Paden. Like I said at the top. This story is for my bestfriend Obasan Kitsune. Who without her, I wouldn't be who I am today. So, to say, Ive been changed for the better, because I knew her. Is the truth. So I will dedicate this to her as on part of an early bithday gift from me.
Nekome..
