TITLE: Snapshots
SUMMARY: 12 vingettes depicting Sirius and Remus' lives and how they've been affected by the war. Sirius/Remus
Chapter one: Love
Remus' POV
I can't believe it's over...Seven years of my life...It seems as though everything happened in those seven years. The most important things, in any case. I met the most important people of my life: My best friends, The Mauraders. We had some great times, and now, it's ending. A whole chapter in my life is closing today...
'Happy graduation!' The Potters shouted as we smiled at the camera. Today is the start of the rest of our lives. And we'd make the most of it.
AT THE POTTERS'
I smiled happily at everyone, congratulating me, shaking my hand. Everywhere I went, people were there, chatting animatedly, having a good time. I sighed. Its not as though I'm not enjoying myself, its just that I haven't seen Sirius anywhere since we arrived. He was supposed to be sharing this with me. We were starting our life together today!! We were moving into our apartment later, and he's nowhere to be found. Oh, well.
I'm standing in the garden, watching the sun go down, the moon rising, the day mingling with the night. It was beautiful. People all around me were talking, laughing, but I ouldn't hear them. In my world, all was silent. An arm slips around my waist, pulling me against a warm body. I could feel his breath on the back of my neck, sending shivers up my spine.
Its like the whole world stops and you aren't really there until he looks at you. You're really alive and you actually feel and it's a hell of a feeling. You feel like you're walking across a street and then, out of no where, a car is coming at you. At full speed, its getting closer and for some reason you CAN"T MOVE. It's like you are going to die without someone to save you. Like it's all or nothing. Either you're in it, or not. You have to choose and there is no way to tell what's gonna happen. You just have no idea. It makes you sad, and happy and angry and just about everything in between. A suffocating, choking feeling in your body, and you might as well be drowning without him. As if life actually ends and something else, something much better takes it's place. It is terrifying and amazing and fleeting. You never know how long it will last, so enjoy it now, mourn its loss, and get on with your life. Only there is nothing more left of you right? That's it, all scattered and lost. So go find it.
'Having a good time, love?' Sirius asked me. I let out a contented moan.
'Now I am.' He chuckled, I have never been much of a party person. It was almost time for us to leave, and he was coming to get me so we could say goodbye and recieve more congratulations.
HOME
Sirius and I are laying in our bed, trying to ward off sleep. Wow, that feels great: Our bed. Nice. His arm is slung around my middle, and my head rests on his chest. This is right. This is love.
