Hey! Probably my last update before Xmas, so Takes a deep breath MERRY XMAS! HAPPY HANUKAH! COOL YULE! GREAT WHATEVER ELSE YOU CELEBRATE! I do apologise if the last one offends anyone, but I'm not about to mention every celebration, especially as most of my readers are English or American, so Xmas should cover about 80. Besides, it's all about spreading the love! So, go spread!
Actually, that's exactly what it is, I have decided that Xmas, except for the traditional Christans, nowadays stands for a neutral celebration that a person from any religion can celebrate. These celebrations are a beacon of light in the dark of winter, as in Ancient England, the people needed something to keep them going, because winter was always the hardest, and a lot of people would die in winter. I think it does the same nowadays. The messge of Xmas is no longer about the birth of one leader, it is now a different, although still as poignant message about hope and spreading love, which is why I feel I, being Wiccan, can also celebrate Xmas, because it is a celebration for anyone, no longer a Christian one. Wiccans, Pagans and those who understand me look at Halloween for an example, those others of you, go watch a Muppet's Christmas Carol. It still makes me cry!
Sorry, I wanted to tell someone about my new discovery!
This fic feels unloved! I was going through my reviews for this, and I only have two! Therefore, this is dedicated to Celi and Glod Silk, for being wonderful people and reviewing!
Celi: Sorry Chick, it looks like it's going to be Remus. Actually, that makes things a lot easier for me. Don't worry, Sirius'll have to suffer a pregnant Werewolf, and believe me, I will make him suffer!
Gold Silk: I sent you a very long and boring email (sorry, when you get me started on something, I do tend to run on!) I will deal with that in the next chapter, but right now, I'm being all sad.
Alright, before you beat me up! Warning, disclaimer and summary on chapter one.
When Love and Hate Collide.
Chapter Five, Can't Stop The Hurt Inside.
Montage: When Love and Hate Collide playing in the background.
You could have a
change of heart, if you would only change your mind
Instead of
slamming down the phone babe, for the hundredth time
I got your
number on my wall, but I ain't gonna make that call
When divided
we stand baby, united we fall
Sirius walks slowly towards Gryffindor Tower, the chain dangling from his hand, although the pentant is clutched safely in his fist. He's fighting back tears, but it doesn't work.
Got the time got a
chance gonna make it
Got my hands on your heart gonna take it
All
I know I can't fight this flame
You could have a change of
heart, if you would only change your mind
Cause I'm crazy 'bout
you baby, time after time
James is stood by the entrance of the Tower. He reaches out to lay a comforting hand on Sirius' shoulder, but he brushes past, going in and laying on Remus' bed. He stares down at the pendant in his hand, tears finally falling to soak Remus' pillow as Sirius gently traces the Moon and Star with one trembling finger.
Without you
One
night alone Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of
stone
Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and
hate collide
Remus is being checked over in the Hospital Wing by Madame Pomfrey. She's healing some cuts on his chest, but he's too busy watching the blood trailing from a cut on his arm to care. His eyes are red-rimmed, and, as she heals the cut, his hand moved to his bare throat.
I don't wanna fight
no more, I don't know what we're fighting for
When we treat
each other baby, like an act of war
I could tell a million lies
and it would come as no surprise
When the truth is like a
stranger, hits you right between the eyes
Madame Pomfrey has now left, and Remus is curled on his side in the Hospital Bed, one hand curling at his bare throat, the other holding a photograph he always carries of him and Sirius in happier times, laughing together and smiling at the camera. He reaches out one hand, tracing the outline of Sirius face before his tears overwhelm him and he sobs into the pillow.
There's a time and
a place and a reason
And I know I got a love to believe in
All
I know got to win this time
James watches sadly from the door as Sirius cries himself to sleep, silently praying that they can make it up to eachother and their relationship can be patched up.
Without you
One
night alone Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of
stone
Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and
hate collide
Lily, who has gone to the Hospital Wing on James' orders to check on remus, sighs sadly as she watches him cry, before brushing the hairs out of the face of the now-sleeping boy. She brushes a kiss across his temple, before leaving him in peace.
You could have a change of heart, if you would only
change your mind
Cause I'm crazy 'bout you baby…Crazy…Crazy
James sits in a chair in the Common Room and Lily comes in. She sits in his lap and curls up against him, both crying for their friends, silently offering eachother solace and comfort as well.
Without you
One night alone
Is like a year
without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
One
night alone
Is like a year without you baby
If you have a heart
at all
Without you
The scene is now split. On one side there is Sirius, facing towards the side with Remus on, sleeping now, with tear-tracks down his cheeks. On the other side, Remus is facing the imaginary Sirius, cheeks just as messy and tear stained. Between them sits and photograph and a pendant, both glistening with tears and clutched tigtly in desperate hands, even in sleep, as a last lifeline for the mourining boys.
Can't stop the hurt
inside
When love and hate collide
A/N. Pointless filler, maybe, but I didn't know how to get their sadness across otherwise. Have you ever seen those chick-flicks, where the sad couple think their relationship has been broken, and they go about being really sad, with the music in the background? That's the written version. Yeah, my tears have stopped now, so I'll go and post this for you.
Please, R&R.
