Blurry

Everything's so blurry

and everyone's so fake

everybody's empty

and everything is so messed up

preoccupied without you

I cannot live at all

my whole world surrounds you

I stumble and I crawl

October 31st had been a lonely day for Sirius Black. He had to, he figured, get used to not having company. After all, when one of your friends is in hiding, another a secret keeper, and the other the top suspect on your list, you would have lonely days.

'Poor James,' he thought. That prophecy had made things harder for him. He had to protect his child, as advised by Dumbledore.

and you could be my someone

you can be my scene

you know that I'll protect you

from all of the obscene

I wonder what your doing

imagine where you are

there's oceans in between us

but that's not very far

Sirus lowered his head. Wormtail was now burdened with the role of secret keeper. This brilliant plan of Sirius' caused many arguments between James and himself. Finally, Prongs gave in. Sirius would be a decoy. Peter would take the responsibility of secret keeper. 'Speaking of Peter,' Sirius thought, 'I better go check on him.' Sirius mounted his motorbike and took off into the sky, fallen leaves swirling behind him.

can you take it all away

can you take it all away

well you shoved it in my face

this pain you gave to me

can you take it all away

can you take it all away

well you shoved it in my face

this pain you gave to me

The moon glowed brightly in the brisk October night. 'Moony,' Sirius thought. His werewolf friend should be done recovering from his transformation at the beginning of the month. Sirius shook his head. Moony, one of his best friends, was on top of his suspect list. Moony had to be the spy.

Sirius landed in front of Peter's house. His heart stopped. The door was open.

everyone is changing

there's no one left that's real

make up your own ending

and let me know just how you feel

Sirius ran inside. "Peter!" he called, "Wormtail!" He ran to the kitchen. The fridge and cabinets were wide open. And empty. Peter always had food.

He entered Peter's room. The sheets were neatly folded. There was no sign of struggle anywhere in the house. Sirius had been wrong. "Forgive me, Moony," he cried. Running into the front yard, he mounted his bike and took off, his heart racing.

Sirius landed in Godric's Hollow. The smell of smoke and a baby's cry greeted him. "No," he whispered, "no." He walked towards the house.

cause I am lost without you

I cannot live at all

my whole world surrounds you

I stumble then I crawl

Lily and James Potter lay lifeless in the rubble. Sirius bent down. "James," he whispered, touching his friend's startled face. "Why," he demanded, "why did this have to happen? How could I be so stupid? It's all my fault. I promise you James; I'll look after my godson. I swear to it. It'll be the first thing I do right in my life. I'm sorry." A silent tear rolled down his cheek as he took off James' glasses.

you could be my someone

you can be my scene

you know that I will save you

from all of the unclean

I wonder what your doing

I wonder where you are

there's oceans in between us

but that's not very far

Sirius walked over to James' wife. "Lily," he whispered, brushing her brilliant red hair out of her vacant green eyes, "I'm sorry. You're right. I am a stubborn git. It's my fault. It's all my fault. I wish I hadn't come up with that 'brilliant idea' of mine. I wish I agreed to be your secret keeper. I would have died for you. I'll help Harry, I promise." Kissing her cheek, Sirius got up and wept openly.

Can you take it all away

Can you take it all away

well you shoved it in my face

the pain you gave to me

Sirius walked over to the bundle of blankets in the corner. "Harry," he whispered. Sirius' eyes strayed to Harry's forehead. A lighting bolt- shaped scar was imprinted upon his head. His godson stopped crying as Sirius picked him up. "I will protect you, Harry. Believe me, it will be hard to look at you. You look so much like James, just with Lily's eyes. I just wish I could do more. I swear, Harry, I will protect you, even if it means with my life."

Nobody told me what you thought

nobody told me what to say

everyone showed you where to turn

showed you when to run away

nobody showed you where to hide

nobody told you what to say

everyone showed you where to turn

showed you when to run away

"Sirius," a husky voice called. Sirius jumped.

"Hagrid?"

"Come 'ere Sirius," said Hagrid. Sirius walked over to him, breaking down into tears. "'S alright," he said, patting Sirius' back. "I 'ave a favor to ask, if ya don' mind. Dumbledore 'ill be wantin me ter bring Harry to him."

"Let me take him," Sirius said through sobs, "I'm his godfather; I promised James I'd look after him."

"Dumbledore's orders, Sirius,"

Sirius sighed. "Alright Hagrid. Take Harry." He kissed Harry's head and started to walk away. "Oh, Hagrid," he called back, "Take my motorbike, I won't be needing it anymore." With that, Sirius walked away with one thing in mind. He decided to pay Wormtail a little visit.

Can you take it all away

can you take it all away

can you take away the pain

the pain you gave to me

this pain you gave to me
