Drabbles and One Shots

by Desiqtie

Miscelleneous drabbles and one shots, like the title says. Most were written for various prompts/challenges on LJ or IJ and don't really fit in anywhere else. Main characters are /is usually some combination of James, Sirius, and Harry.

Title: Knowledge

Word Count: 150

Prompt: None...but it fits the Insane challenge on the 24 insane hours comm.

It's the knowledge that drives each Black insane. Because the Black Curse isn't insanity, it's knowledge. The knowledge of their death. Every Black knows how he or she will die...days, months, sometimes years, before it happens. And it's the knowledge of it, the knowing that drives them mad...

Sirius is lucky. They're at war...but he hasn't had that dream yet. The one. The one that'll drive him mad. Sometimes, he wonders...maybe it's the not knowing that'll drive him mad.

Months pass - enemies die, friends die...Sirius lives. But today is about celebrating life, so he pushes the thoughts of death away.

"Let me hold Harry!" He whines. Laughing, James places the newborn in his arms. Sirius gazes down at the child in awe; Harry is so small, so innocent! Gently, Sirius bends down, his mouth just brushing the tiny ear, he whispers, "I would die for you."
