PROLOGUE

"They're dead."

Sirius looked up to find a sullen faced Remus looking at him with despondent eyes. For a moment, he didn't comprehend but his gaze followed Remus' and when he saw what Remus was looking at, his confusion vanished.

"They died a long time ago."

Remus nodded. His pale face shone in the dim light of the room, accentuating his gruesome scars. His eyes no longer contained even a part of the mischief they had while they were teenagers. His sandy blond hair was no longer neatly combed but instead looked wispy and tired. When Sirius looked at his old friend, he hardly recognized him.

The same could be said for Sirius. His once handsome face had lost its grace and charm. His dark eyes had grown darker, sunken into the sockets, had become vacant. His cheeks had hollowed and the smile that had attracted a fair number of girls at Hogwarts' was almost always forced and even then was pained. He remained wanly most of the time. His dark hair that once fell with casual elegance was the only remainder of the good looking man he had once been.

"We could've saved them."

"We should've saved them."

"They saved us. Both of us."

"From different things."

"From horrible things."

"Everyone loved them."

"And we were foolish enough to think they would live forever."

"They're dead."

"They've been dead a long time."

Both the men exited the dark haired man's room, closing the door behind them.


A/N: Thanks for reading (: Reviews are the best. This has been renamed again and again due to my inability to choose a title that I genuinely like. Looks like I have finally succeeded.

No, they aren't talking about Lily and James.

This is going to be a multi chaptered fic. It will basically be about the Marauders and important moments in their lives.
