Every Cloud...

Meet me by the Great Lake at sunset.

R

You stare over the rippled surface of the Great Lake, you watch in envy as the Giant Squid's tentacles burst into his eyesight. The animal was so carefree, why couldn't you be?

'Sirius?' A familiar voice said from behind you.

'I didn't think you'd come,' you reply.

'Of course I'd come, I wrote the letter didn't I? Have more faith in me,' Remus said as he sat down next to you, his best friend.

'So, what did you want to say? I want to be alone.'

'That's exactly it!' shouted Remus. 'You're pushing yourself away from people who care about you, you're becoming so withdrawn. You're not forgotten, especially by James, Peter and I. We don't understand why. What happened over the summer?'

'I... nothing,' you shake your head and stare out towards the horizon. 'Ok, it's not nothing. Over the summer... Regulus became a Death Eater.'

A silence ensued, as Remus comprehended what you had just said.

'I thought you left home? Why do you care?'

'Why do I care?' you repeat. 'Because he's my brother Moony, of course I care. Though now... I don't know. It was a massive slap in the face to me Moony. I just...'

You break off the conversation and stare at Remus intently, you want him to reassure you, to tell you that everything will be ok.

'See that firefly Padfoot?' he said suddenly, as he pointed out over the Lake. You look at him incredulously, where was this tangent going? You look but only see the reflection of the setting sun, you shake your head. 'Just there,' he said as he grabs your hand and points it towards a faint speck nearly fifteen feet away.

'Ok, I see it but what's the point?'

'The point is that's it's becoming dark, but that's a source of light. You need to find a source of light to illuminate the darkness set in your life by Regulus, focus on it and maybe you'll see the darkness fade.'

'Have I ever told you how clever you are Moony, seriously mate, if you don't get straight O's in your N.E.W.T's I'll eat Merlin's hat,' you say as you clap him on the back. Really, where would you be without him?

'You make me blush Padfoot. You know what I think you need?' you shrug. 'A new family, and I think I know exactly who.'

You furrow your eyebrows. 'Who?'

'Me' he replied straight away, as he leant forwards and captured your lips. You kiss him back eagerly, maybe he is the source of light you need.
