Disclaimer: I do not own anything involved with Harry Potter or the song "Tears in Heaven"- they are already claimed by J.K. Rowling and Eric Clapton, respectively.

I don't know how good this will look to you, but it's my first fic… review if you want!

In a tiny room of number 4, Privet Drive, a rather thin and depressed boy lie on his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. He had been doing a lot of this since he had come home from his school for the summer. He missed Hogwarts so much that the thought of being cooped up in Privet Drive rather than being with his friends made him physically ache, although that was the least of his problems. He couldn't help feeling grief, along with insurmountable guilt ever since that night in the Department of Mysteries when his godfather had fallen through an archway with a black veil. According to Lupin and Dumbledore, Sirius won't be back… because he's dead.

In an attempt to take his mind off of his loss, Harry turned on his radio, a radio that was yet another second-hand possession once belonging to Dudley. A very familiar song to him, Tears in Heaven, filled the room, and Harry left it on to further express his anguish.

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?

I know you wouldn't forget me Sirius, even if it is my fault you're gone.

I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.

I have to keep going, even though I feel like my world has been pulled out from under me, Sirius.

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand

Of course you'd help me stand, you've done more for me than anyone (other than my parents dying for me)… and now you're gone.

If I saw you in heaven?

I'll find my way
Through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven.

Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart, Yep, my heart is definitely broken
Have you begging please, begging please. Please, let me see you again… somehow, even if it is only once.

Beyond the door,
There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven.

At least you're not on the run anymore… why did you have to fall through that veil?

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.

I don't belong there yet… I've got an evil wizard to defeat. But I might be joining you someday.

The last chords of the song led to silence, and the only sound that remained was the sobbing of a boy with untidy hair and a scar, a scar which gave Harry visions, one of which led to his godfather's death only weeks before.

Why do I have to be the one with this stupid scar?, thought Harry, not for the first time wondering why he had to be the "marked man", and certainly not for the last time berating himself for letting Sirius die.

I miss you Sirius… but we'll see each other again, you can count on that.

A/N: Other than Dumbledore, Sirius was my favorite character, and I was extremely upset when I read the end of the book (I cried like a baby!)
