Characters: Harry/Sirius
Summary: Harry reflects on his feelings after the death of his godfather.
"You are the earth beneath my feet, You are my gravity"
Tears silently ran down the boys face; he felt as if he'd lost everything merely a second after he'd gotten it. It was too hard to think, to feel. To remember.
No matter what he seemed to do, the thoughts kept returning to his head, pestering him with these feelings of guilt, and hatred, and the deepest sadness he had ever known.
What was he to do now? The only real family he'd ever had was gone within a few minutes, leaving him alone and feeling more helpless than ever.
Sirius was one of the few reasons he had continued to fight. He was one of the only pieces of his parents that he had left. Sirius had believed him and had understood him, when nobody else could. Sure, he had the Weasley's, he had his friends. But it almost wasn't enough. Knowing that Sirius was one of the people who loved him unconditionally from the moment of his birth created a certain kind of bond between them.
It's hard to fill a place in your heart, when it's always meant for someone else.
Authors Note: This, (although short) is an extremely proud moment of mine. I've just gotten back into fan fiction after two years, and I'm excited to get going again. As of now, my story about Lily and James is on hiatus, though I may pick it up again and possibly make some changes (Seeing as how my writing has improved). So, please PLEASE review, it'll make me a very happy person (:
