Authors Note: My first mutli-chap fic based on the song 'A Day in The Life' by The Beatles. I recommened listening to the song because there is a music moment after verse 3 that will add to the story if you know the song...(that said you don't have to listen to it but it will enrich your lives and its one of my favourite Beatles songs).
The story will be divided into chapters based on each verse of the song. It is written from Remus P.O.V. so will have some dashes of Remus/Sirius in it... cause lets face it, they were meant to be together....
Also I'm not British so I don't have a clue about the House of Lords whether or not they have titles etc. so please excuse any errors!
Thanks to the ever faithful Beta YummieTimelord for pointing out tenses and the such and giving me some sort of confidence in relation to this story.
well enjoy!
Sad Eyed Lady
Chapter 1
I read the news today oh, boy,
About a lucky man who made the grade.
And though the news was rather sad,
Well, i just had to laugh,
I saw the photograph.
He blew his mind out in a car,
He didn't notice that the lights had changed.
A crowd of people stood and stared,
They'd seen his face before,
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords.
Its amazing how one day in your life can change it drastically. One moment and everything changes. However Remus Lupin was aware of this more than anyone.
It's a brisk morning in November, a year since Remus left Hogwarts. Walking down the street towards Sirius' apartment, he passes a news-stand. The front page of a muggle newspaper jumps out at him. He stops quickly and searches through his pockets to find some muggle change. He smiles warmly at the man at the stand, hands him the money and briskly turns, Sirius momentarily forgotten, as he enters the cafe down the street. He buys a coffee, goes to a table in the back and settles down in the seat out of the cold. Laying the paper out on the table, he begins to read, slowly lighting the cigarette that is held loosely between his lips.
James Weatherby (58), member of the House of Lords, was found dead yesterday evening only 10 minutes from his home in the centre of London. He had just left his house and had gone a few miles down the road when he stopped at traffic lights, however when the lights turned green and he did not move, it was apparent that something was wrong. An onlooker walked over to the car and it was then the alarm was raised. An ambulance was called but he was pronounced dead on the scene. No official statement has been given from the House of Lords, however our sources have informed us that the postmortem has come back inconclusive. James Weatherby is survived by his wife Margaret and two children Margaret-Ann and Philip.
This has been the 5th case this week of seemingly healthy people dying for no apparent reason. However this is the most high-profile case. The Health-service has come under fire over these deaths, as rumours of an epidemic has caused widespread panic throughout the country. Continued on page 2.
He closes the paper, extinguishes his cigarette, sits back and exhales slowly.
This is the day he realises... it has begun.
So there we have it... chapter 1 up.... Hope you liked it and don't forget that there's a lonely little button, who's job it is to help people review... so help him fulfill his destiny....
