Chapter 2- the aftermath
*********************##~Remus~##************************************
Remus sat on his bed holding a glass of vodka numb with a mixture of pain and alcohol. He had been like this for the past four hours, ever since he had returned from the funeral. No one was up for having a drink and 'celebrating Lily and James going to a better place' they just wanted to go home and be on their own or with a loved one. Remus sat in darkness tears falling every now and then, anger filing Remus at his loss. His grip tightened on the glass, his hand was turning red because of the amount of pressure. The glass smashed in his hand which sent tiny shards spraying everywhere, most of which imbedded themselves in his hand. Blood oozed out of his hand and trickled off his hand and onto the floor. In a matter of seconds there was a pool of blood on his bed.
"Crap" was all he managed. He looked down at his hand; it was shaking from the glass. Seconds passed.then minutes.all he did was stare. Only one thought raced through his mind. This must be nothing to what James and Lily felt, an eternity of pain in a split second. Fresh tears fell from his blood shot eyes. And slowly.one by one he picked out the glass shards which where deep into his skin. Not even flinching at the pain.
***********************##~Petunia~##**********************************
Petunia sat in the back of the taxi in silent thought. She cradled Harry in her arms with such love and care you wouldn't have thought it possible. Petunia's tears subsided but she was still shaking. Petunia's grief was past tears; it was realisation that she would never see her sister again. So far all she thought was that her sister was dead, it didn't occur to her she would never see her again. Sounds stupid but she was in too much pain to realise. Now as she sits in the taxi bouncing with every bump that she feels empty, her heart aching with sorrow.
Petunia sat looking out the window, thinking about her life with out Lily. Thinking about Harry's life with out her. Then a thought stuck her; Harry would be one of them as well. The abnormality would undoubtedly be passed on to Harry. She would have to protect him, it's for his own good. He must never know, he will never know his mother and father where murdered. He will never know they where a witch and a wizard. He will not know he is a wizard. It's unfair but this way he ill not meet the same end his parents did. It's for his own good.
**********************##~Dumbledore~##*******************************
Dumbledore sat in his office adding thoughts to his pensieve; he wished this memory were one that didn't exist. Then he wouldn't have to arrange the life of the orphan Harry Potter.
People all around the wizarding world where celebrating the downfall of Lord Voldemort. Not knowing the cost of the defeat. Soon it would be made clear the price that came with this victory.
Albus sighed sadly; Fawkes flew over to him and landed on his knee. He raised his hands and softly stroked Fawkes back. Fawkes could sense the sadness in the air and lowered his head. A single pearly tear fell from his eye, which landed on Albus' hand, which tingled. It felt as though he had a new feeling of hope and as though things would be ok. He walked over to his desk and poured him self a whisky. He drank deeply from it then sat on his chair and pulled out a piece of parchment and started to write.
********************##~Remus~##*************************************
The blood stained rag that was around his hand fell to the ground as Remus took it off. He looked at his hand and clenched his hand sending searing pain through his whole arm.
"Argh" Remus shouted. Remus slowly lowered his hand and walked over to his bedside cabinet. He picked up the picture of the now non-existent marauders, Lily and baby Harry. They all smiled and waved in the picture. James arm around Lily who held Harry safely in her arms. Sirius has his arms around Remus and Peter. "Traitor! FUCKING TRAITOR" He picked up the picture and flung it against the wall. It smashed into pieces the glass sprinkled on the floor. The picture lay undamaged on the floor with bits of glass on it. He pulled out his wand and muttered "repairo" the frame fixed itself and the glass magically moulded back together.
Remus heard something behind him that made him start. He turned and saw Bella. Remus put the picture back down on the side and walked over to her. He hugged her and kissed her gently on the lips. She put her arms around his neck and kissed him back. Bella fell back onto the bed and Remus went down with her. Slowly they undressed each other, Bella silently crying and Remus fighting back tears. The lights switched off and they tenderly made love.
