"Life Got Cold"
Oh oh yeah ooh
We text as we eat
As we listen to the freaks
As we wait for the right
of way
We text as we talk
We're running as we walk
Cos we're several
little souls away
We smoke as we choke
As we sink another Coke
And we
grin when it blows on mine
We skate as we date
As we slowly
suffocate
We're running, we're running, we're running
Out of time
My life got cold
It happened many years ago
When summer slipped
away
So chill now oh
We've got many years to go
So take it day by
day
And on the go
I lost my soul
To some forgotten dream and
How was I
supposed to know
It wasn't what it seemed
And even though the last to
low
Has left me on the floor
I don't believe in Romeos or heroes
anymore
We spend as we mend
Cos we're happy to pretend
Everything's gonna be
OK
We shake as we break
Never giving 'til we take
And we hate when we
have to pay
We flirt while we work
To forget about the hurt
And the
trash that we left behind
We sink as we swim
The ice is wearing
thin
We're running, we're running, we're running
Out of time
My life got cold
It happened many years ago
When summer slipped
away
So chill now oh
We've got many years to go
So take it day by
day
And on the go
I lost my soul
To some forgotten dream and
How was I
supposed to know
It wasn't what it seemed
And even though the last to
low
Has left me on the floor
I don't believe in Romeos or heroes
anymore
My life got cold
It happened many years ago
When summer slipped
away
So chill now oh
We've got many years to go
So take it day by
day
And on the go
I lost my soul
To some forgotten dream and
How was I
supposed to know
It wasn't what it seemed
And even though the last to
low
Has left me on the floor
I don't believe in Romeos or heroes
anymore
Chapter Four: - And in Despair we weep.
"There is no cure Remus!" Harry snapped his eyes ablaze with silent fury. Remus sighed looking at him, and he shook his head.
"Why won't you believe me Harry? It's been a while since you left our world, improvements have been made, and new technologies have been found, and there is a chance that we can help you."
"You liar! She's mad Remus and nothing can change that fact. Get out of my house!" Harry said through gritted teeth.
"Are you going to deny James the right to join Hogwarts this year, too? Because believe me Harry you've changed!" Remus snapped back, equally as angry. "Listen to me for once Harry, and believe me!"
Harry had, had enough the vase on the counter smashed; he barley contained his anger, "Why the hell should I believe you Remus? What have you done to deserve that? Of course I've changed, who wouldn't have living my life? And as for James, my son will chose that himself."
Harry walked to the drinks cabinet and poured himself a shot of vodka, downing it in one he turned back to Remus. "I want you out of my house, now." He growled.
"Harry this is Ginny's only chance and she needs you to help her, she needs someone who loves her wholly and you are that person, you are her soul mate." Remus pleaded. "Please, think about it because otherwise you'll crush Amy." Remus turned bright red realising his mistake.
"How in hell do you know Amy, Lupin and it had better be the truth!" Harry said sharply, looking him in the eye.
Remus looked towards his feet, "It's a long story Harry." He mumbled, but Harry wouldn't have that. "Tell me before I rip you to shreds." He threatened, clenching his knuckles.
"Okay Harry, I will but you won't like it. She's Snape's daughter except… well she was conceived when Voldermort ordered Snape to rape a muggle." Remus's face muscle twitched, he wouldn't look at Harry's, who's green eyes never strayed from him.
"Well, that's an interesting development, Continue." He commanded, his throat tightening with each word Remus spoke.
"The muggle got away and Amy was born. She tracked him down, she's a squib you see, and well that's how we found out about you…" Remus stopped again, shaking his head mournfully.
"So Amy betrayed me like the rest of you have over the years, I should have known." Harry sighed; Remus spoke in a fierce quiet tone "No Harry, that's not why she told us." Harry laughed bitterly, "I don't care, she still did Remus, she was my friend." Remus knowing Harry wouldn't listen forced himself to continue the story.
"Amy told us that she had worked with you for three years and she gave us your address. She told us that you hadn't gotten over your love for Ginny, and that you still visited her," Another painful pause, Remus closed his eyes.
"I see it was a mistake to tell her, that my wife was in a muggle mental hospital. I should have told the only people I could trust - my children." Harry sighed again. Tears began to roll down Remus's cheeks, he didn't want to continue but he knew he had to.
"…she also admitted to me that if she could give you anything Harry, she would cure Ginny, because she hated to see you so hurt and lost without her." Another hollow laugh escaped Harry's lips "I'm sure she did, after all isn't it human nature to love someone, and then to stab them in the back?" He asked rhetorically. Remus shook his head.
"We explained to her about the cure and that was solely why she gave me your address, because she wanted you to be happy again. She loves you Harry." Remus blurted out looking up finally and seeing a single tear running down Harry's cheek, Harry had lost all coldness in his voice upon seeing Remus looking so distressed.
"Why can't you people leave me alone?" He asked bewildered. "All I've wanted for years is to have Ginny, and now you're telling me that I can? I don't believe you! Nothing in my life is ever that simple!" He shook his head and picked up the phone, he dialled Amy's number and waited for her to answer.
He only said one sentence to her.
"I trusted you."
Then placing the phone back on the hook he left Remus slumped in his chair and walked upstairs to his daughter's room, seeing the tear stain marks on her face he picked her up and carried her to his room gently, laying her on his bed."
He had a feeling that neither of them wanted to be alone that night. He kissed her gently on the forehead and sat down beside her, there he spend the whole night weeping, finally for the first time since Ginny had been admitted to St. Mungo's.

Nynphadora Tonks: - Hard questions to answer, but I'll try :-) The twins will both be nine Oct 31st, Harry isn't going to get with Amy but he will visit Ginny soon, and I'm not sure why I just let Lily find out, but it has more to her being more of a Slytherin.
Iced Mahina: - Harry will not get with Amy, I have other plans for her ;-)
Wytil: - I don't agree with Dumbledore being an Ass, you have to read between the lines, he tried to do what was best for Harry and he loved him in his own way.
