-1Chapter 19
A/N: I'm really sorry to all those who are waiting for Ron and Harry and Hermione to meet up -- it will happen, probably in Ron's or Harry's next chapter, but I have to add in this extra one. It kind of links in with 'A Broken Memory's Remedy'… what will be chapter 2.
? POV
-----------
Can you hear me?
Are you watching?
Are you proud?
Questions I'll never tire of hearing, I promise you, but questions I am asked all the time. ALL the time. Maybe not out loud, maybe not publicly; but in your head. And for god's sake, if only you could hear my answer.
…Yes.
…Yes.
… Yes; I'm prouder than anyone could ever be.
Remus, I always cared for you as a friend, and I'm over the moon as someone like me can be that finally, you've found love despite your wolfish tendencies. I am happy that Sirius finally made it out of Azkaban; and sad that now he has gone. And my flower, I can't find her. She's been sent to a place that I can't follow, that I've tried to go many more times. Maybe she made a choice in life that I missed; I don't know. But I'm here, destined to walk the lonely paths of death on my own, watching, and listening to the real world.
I see my son all the time. Yes, Remus. I still can't quite believe how he's kept going all this time. His parent's gone. His godfather gone. His headmaster… washed away with the wind. His aunt and uncle the tyrants they always were, and with the whole of Voldemort's little gang after him. His destiny must be even worse than mine. Be killed, or kill…
If only he knew how to the other Horcruxes. Voldemort was around in my time, of course - so it's only right that some of the Horcruxes cannot be found in Harry's. Sometimes, I want to shake him by the shoulders and tell him where to go; he saw the mirror. He saw the door handle. So why doesn't it click? Time has changed their positions. He needs to go back…
Please let Harry lead a happy life, for my happiness.
Please… please let him realise this. That's for my sanity.
A/N: Guess who that is? Well, I'll leave you to ponder, though it is pretty obvious, and will be even more so when I write chapter 2 of thingy. So… onto Hermione, I guess.
