Authors Note: This is my first Harry Potter fic that I have published. It's really short, but I would appreciate reviews and constuctive critrisim. Flame me if you must, they will be burnt in a bonfire with a model of Voldemort tied to a stake being burnt -lol.
I have a MWPP fic in the works, and a co-authored one as well so watch this space... well. not THIS space, but, y'know... ya. Well, enjoy!

Remus Lupin stood amidst the rubble that had once been his friends home.
Nothing moved. Lupin breathed silently, anything louder seemed wrong somehow.
Sirius had betrayed James. Had betrayed everyone who knew him.
James and Lily were dead. Voldemort had disappeared, hopefully dead. Poor Harry was now an orphan. Sirius deserved to be dead for what he had done to the Potters and Harry.
They'd all trusted him. He'd been the Potters Secret Keeper. The Potters last chance the Voldmort after them.
He was their leak -Siruis.
Remus couldn't believe it, didn't want to believe it.
Lily and James home was in ruins, a few embers still smouldering through same Dark magic. The silence of it all was enough to drive you insane.
It stiffled you, enveloped you in its unmoving, inpentrable stillness.
Remus had grieved when the news had reached him. For James and Lilys deaths, Harrys loss; Sirius' deception.
But now, two days later, with still no sign of Sirius, he could cry no more. It was like no more tears were left and there was a wound in his very sould that he wasn't sure could ever be healed completly.
The silence was getting to much for him, turning sadly a single salty tear fell down his cheek, perhaps he could still cry. With on elast glance at the rubble he sent a silent prayer for James and Lilys souls and Disapparated back to his home.
