This is a series of death!fics. So it starts with some of the people from the Marauder era and I might do some of the others later like ie. Fred, Dumbledore. But anyway here goes.
She was lying still, silent on the cold wood floor. The remains of the living room surrounding her. She could have been sleeping if it wasn't for the small pool of blood slowly spreading from beneath her. Near dried tear tracks ran down her face, giving it an almost shimmering look. The once loving look in her eyes was slowly escaping, slowly vanishing with the rest of her. It was with a shaking hand that he touched her limp figure gently, the way one might test to see if a cup was hot. His knees buckled beneath him and he fell silently to the floor, one hand still on her arm, the heat of her body slowly leaving her. A hand came to rest on his shoulder, causing him to flinch but not look up.
"The others are up stairs. They're all dead." James' voice was soft and usually loud in the quite remains of the house.
"She's gone." Was all he said, his voice breaking.
"I know." James said kneeling down next to his friend careful of the glass from a shattered picture frame. On closer inspection the picture behind the shattered glass was one of Lily, Marly, Doe and Alice. It was strange, James thought, they'd barely left Hogwarts and yet death had already reached them. A gasp from the doorway stirred him from his thoughts.
"No." A voice whispered quietly into the silence, it hung in the air. Everyone's thoughts and feelings going into that one word as they looked down upon the broken lifeless body with Sirius bent in on himself next to her.
"Are they...?" Lily's unfinished question hung in the air and was answered by a stiff nod from James. Tears welled up in her eyes and James was by her side holding her close as she cried.
"We should go, tell the others, Padfoot." Remus voice echoed blankly through Sirius head as his tears slid out from his eyes and rolled down his cheeks. It didn't seem real. How could she be gone? It was only yesterday when he'd seen her last. Alive, a flare in movement, a spark in her eyes. How could all that be gone?
"Sirius..." The voice and hand on his shoulder brought him slowly from his thoughts, his hand was shaking and his sight was blurred by tears. His fingers touched her lips, hovering slightly he closed her eyes. No longer was she staring blankly at the ceiling. She could almost look asleep; Sirius thought as he bent his head over hers and laid a silent kiss on her forehead.
"Goodbye Marls." He whispered into the silence as he bid goodbye to the only girl he'd ever truly loved.
