"Scars"
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
My scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
It was the day of Peter Pettigrew's trial. Remus Lupin sat in the front, near Dumbledore. What had happened to cause Peter to come to this? Why did he turn against them?
Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is
The day before this, Ministry officials had brought Peter to see Remus, at Peter's request. Remus couldn't believe that he had the nerve to come around. It was driving the poor werewolf insane that he couldn't change what had happened. Peter was a constant reminder of how Remus had failed by thinking that Sirius was the spy. Peter appeared to be filled with only regret and grief now, but Remus wasn't going to fall for it again.
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last stand
Remus tried, he really had, to understand Pettigrew's side of the story. It made no sense at all. He was still trying, but he could come to no conclusion. Remus lifted his head as the judge claimed the verdict – Guilty. Justice was done, and it was all over. Remus saw Dumbledore looking at Harry, who was sitting on the other side of Lupin. Remus glanced over and saw Harry looking downcast. Remus knew what he was thinking, "Sure, Pettigrew's getting punished…but what does it change? Is this really justice?"
I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn't ever came around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
Go fix yourself
Everyone had cleared out; it was only Dumbledore, Lupin and Harry. "I should go alert Sirius that he can come out of hiding now," Dumbledore said as he looked at Lupin, then his gaze shifted to Harry. "Harry, would you like to come with me?"
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
Harry nodded and stood up. Remus did the same. He put his hand on Harry's shoulder. The two shared a knowing glance and Dumbledore led Harry out. Remus hesitated, looked back at Pettigrew, still on the stand, and shook his head. Remus walked out, but he didn't see little Peter looking after him, nor the silver tear that cascaded down his cheek.
