Normal POV

Breath. Walk. Smile. Everything's fine…

James smiled flirtatiously at the pretty Ravenclaw to his left as he strolled down the train aisle, searching the compartments for his friends.

It's ok, I'm ok. Breath. In, Out.

No one noticed the dull quality of his normally shining hazel eyes. No one saw the slight tremor in his hand. Spotting his friends he pasted on a grin and greeted, "Hello Remus, Peter."

Remus glanced up from a large book titled, "How to Smartly Prank II: If Caught (and you would like to avoid that)" and replied, "Hey James." Glancing around the raven-haired teen he questioned, "Where's Sirius."

Mourning. Her. Merlin kill me. My fault.

Shrugging James answered, "I don't know, probably flirting with some girls."

Never. He'd never. Not after she-

"Flirting?" Remus quirked an eyebrow, "But I thought he and your sister were together… I mean, really together."

They were. Gods they were. My fault. So much blood. My fault.

"Well he can still flirt can't he?" James smile never faltered as he moved to sit next to Remus.

The door to the compartment slid open, "James." Sirius stood with the same plastic smile engraved on his face.

Sirius.

Gods. I'm sorry, so sorry. My fault.

No. Not your fault. No one's fault.

So sorry… I'm so sorry

I know.

You loved her

Yes

So much blood. This Must Stop

They'll pay.

Yes

They. Will. Pay.

A sample, a taste, shall we say, of the true story.

Five reviews and I will continue.

Constructive Criticism is always welcome.

'This sucks' is not constructive.
