A/N: I realize that this has terrible grammar. It's supposed to. It's more like a poem than a story- about the feeling, not the rules. That being said, on with the piece!
I know very well what it's like to be the Last Marauder.
After all, I've done it once before.
Except, that time, only one was really dead; the rest were just unreachable.
Now, they're all dead.
James was the first one to go, and who would have thought. He was their leader, their strongest, the rock. It was supposed to be Peter first, then me, then Sirius, and then James.
Things don't work out that way.
I lost them all in one night, the last time. All of my dreams and beliefs and trust
Washed away.
One night.
This time, though, it was slower.
Harder.
Longer.
Painful.
Just when I'd thought that, for the first time in thirteen years, things were coming together again,
they were really just falling apart.
Again.
This time, where I could see it.
Know it.
Feel it.
Yes, I mourned Peter's death. As much as I would like to admit that I had no feelings, at all, whatsoever for the traitor,
When a man you knew as a brother for ten years dies,
No matter what they've done,
It hurts.
Even just a little
But it still hurts.
And Sirius, just disappearing.
Slipping into the unknown.
People said that he "died the way he would have wanted to"
Bullocks.
Sirius, loud, wild, fun, laughing, crazy, unpredictable Sirius,
With his motorbike and bright eyes and brilliant schemes,
He should have gone out with a bang.
Fireworks
With Jimi Hendrix playing in the backround
Because he had such a penchant for Hendrix.
And that would have fit him.
But he didn't.
He just slipped.
Slipped.
It makes me sick to my stomach.
He didn't have a funeral.
Too complicated, Dumbledore said. Too suspicious.
And now, it's like he never existed.
And if there's one person on this planet
Who should have been known
Who should have existed
Been remembered
It was Sirius Black.
And now they're all gone
And I'm here, in my chair,
Remembering
Wishing
Wondering
Reminiscing
Crying
For the lost Marauders.
Because it wasn't supposed to be this way.
