And you can see him now
He's the same and you're here
And raw, painful happiness is ripping your lungs apart
And you're running, leaping, soaring through the cruel mist
In whatever world this is
Into a collision that might be described as
A reunion
A fated meeting
A coming home.
Lily is behind you
Weeping
Laughing
Joyful
At two brothers in love
At two brothers separated by a spell
At two brothers.
You grab his hair and holler
He knocks your glasses slightly askew
He pulls Lily into the fold
And you think you might die from happiness
Except of course you already have.
A scream
And the three beatific soul mates break apart
Because it's her, and he's here.
And suddenly he's moving towards her,
Lifting her high off the ground
The Scottish laugh pealing out
A siren of life renewed.
For she has waited too long for this.
He touches her face
She cries.
He whispers,
I love you I loveyou Iloveyou
She weeps.
Lily feels seventeen again
Watching Marlene and her only mate,
Watching James and his first love
His first brother
His only brother
Come home.
My imaginings of Sirius' fall through the veil and his reunion with his fallen friends, James, Lily and Marlene (who I always thought he was in love with). Told from James' POV.
