Behind Green Eyes

Memories and Decisions

(Remus's P.O.V)

As I sit here on the cold, hard floor,

In my arms my emerald-eyed wonder slumbers on,

I think of what he means to me,

I think of the first time I held him like this,

The day he was born,

~~~~~~Memory~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The waiting was a nightmare,

Across from me, Sirius restlessly paced the floor,

I swiftly recall how the floor seemed to sink with each new step he took,

Padfoot never really was a good waiter,

But then there was James,

Sitting across from me his head snugly placed in his gentle hands,

Every now in then you could hear a soft murmuring from his direction,

I however was the patient one,

Nevertheless, even I couldn't take my eyes off the cold metallic waiting room door,

Just when I thought that I couldn't take it anymore,

The door was opened,

And the tight-lipped nurse told us to follow,

As I walked down the long hallway, I start to get nervous,

I wonder if this child will ever like me,

But, as I walk into the door my fears instantly fade away,

I seem to have been the last one to get to the room,

The others now give me amused glances,

Seems like even the calm one has the ability to get nervous every now and then,

However I don't have long to dwell on these thoughts as my arms suddenly become heavy,

I look down to see the little angel that now occupies my previously empty arms,

As his gaze meets mine he coos in contentment and quickly latches onto my finger,

Everyone is all smiles as we talk about our little angel future,

And I silently vow my allegiance to the angel that had stolen my heart,

~~~~~Back to present Day~~~~~~~~~~~

Making my decision, I quickly stand up,

Careful not to wake my young,

I gently place him on his thin mattress and tuck him under the thin sheets,

Before I silently walked across the room to Hedwig's small cage,

I write a seemingly endless letter and send the snowy owl off on her journey,

Before returning to my Harry's side,

I carefully hold his hand as his chest rises and falls,

And I pray with every last breath in me,

That my plan will be accepted.
