Summary: Remus looks back after the "fall of the Marauders"
Looking Back
Its been almost two years since that night
That night we sat around the table, never even thinking it could be our last time. Never thinking that tomorrow may not come for one of us, or more. We laughed our heads off at each other, played pranks and relayed old stories of past victories to the girls. We stayed up until four in the morning like we did almost all of 7th year. We didn't want to think about the pain the next day may cause us - didn't want to worry about the people before us. We laughed, we joked, and even though inside we were terrified of the day to come, we smiled the whole night. We slept in the comfort of each other and woke up knowing it may be good bye. We got up in the morning and went off in our separate ways, to our separate jobs, our separate lives. We didn't say 'good-bye' just patted each other on the back and said "see ya later". Looking back I think we all we all knew what was coming, we all knew and we were all to scared to say the one word(or two depending how you see it) that we knew would hurt more than anything else.
That night we sat around a different table, just us four, me and my three best friends, mourning the loss of another acquaintance, another ally, another friend. We didn't look each other in the eye, didn't say much, just sat there glad that it wasn't one before us that was missing or gone for good. It was different that night from the day before, quieter, calmer, more scared.
We didn't say good-bye that night as we went to our respective homes, didn't say a word except, "see ya tomorrow" or "'g'night". I don't know why we didn't see it then, we should have…
Looking back to those days, I never would have thought that it would be the last time…the last time I sat down with a drink with my brother-my best friend and the one person who had been there for me my entire life. I didn't think that the next day, James and Lily would go into hiding or that within a week they would both be dead and peter would be "blown to pieces". I never would have thought that Sirius was to blame. I never thought I'd be alone…
I guess I was wrong…
i hope you liked it...
