To Josh Groban's "You're Still You", comes my singfic about how Remus takes Sirius' death …

You followed me there.  I told you no.  I told you it wasn't safe.  I said that Voldemort had set a trap for you.  You didn't listen.  And you never did; not even when we were young.  You broke the rules, and took chances.  But this time, this chance you took, in the end, took you.


Through the darkness
I can see your light
And you will always shine
And I can feel your heart in mine
Your face I've memorized
I idolize just you

Why didn't you stay back?  Why?  Because you wanted to help Harry.  Harry had gone, and you felt guilty if anything happened to him.  But it was a trap, and I lost you.


I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
I've loved you for so long
And after all is said and done
You're still you
After all
You're still you

How could you do that?  Sacrifice yourself for us?  I'd seen you brave things that no one else could, always by my side, sticking up for me; protecting me when the moon was full; smiling at me, and leading my soul to higher ground.  But why this time?  What did I do to deserve life, when you were thrown into the infinite hands of death?


You walk past me
I can feel your pain
Time changes everything
One truth always stays the same
You're still you
After all
You're still you

But you came anyway, because we were friends, and you wanted to help.  You fought to the death, and I am proud.  Not proud that you have left this world, but proud to know what I was the friend of someone so brave, so strong, so loyal, so carefree, so powerful, so kind …


I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
And I believe in you
Although you never asked me to …

You were so good to Harry and so loyal to me.  Who in their right mind would befriend a werewolf?  You would.  And I thank you.  For a second chance.  If only … if only I could just give you one too …


I will remember you
And what life put you through

I saw the things that happened to you.  You were framed, imprisoned, shunned, looked down upon, and never excused … I knew what it was like, but you stayed strong.  How did you do that?


And in this cruel and lonely world
I found one love

I watched you fall behind that veil, knowing that I could not help you.  But if I could have, I would have.  You see, you took part of me with you, and I still have part of you, my friend.  I still feel your soul in my heart.


You're still you
After all
You're still you

You amaze me, Sirius.  Even as we are so far apart now; even as we exist now in two different dimensions, with infinity separating us, you still amaze me.  Look at all you've done and just know that I cannot thank you enough, nor can I miss you enough.  You went down in the best way you could have.  You should have heard Harry scream, and you should have seen me cry.

I miss you Sirius Black.  I will be lonely, without Padfoot by my side as I transform; without you to protect me or make me smile.  So until the dimensions between us break, and I can see you again, good-bye, old friend.
