When You Wish Upon A Star

I shiver in the cold air and stare at the stars.

My star is bright enough to see, despite the brilliant moonlight, but I am the only one who can see it.

I loathe the moon and everything it stands for. Pain. Fear. Destruction. It controls his life. It is all he sees in the night sky, in the world. He can't see me. The light of the moon hides my star from him. I would destroy the moon, if only I could. For him. I wish I could do that much. To protect him. Maybe then he would be able to see my star, see me.

I turn back towards the castle and my eyes are drawn to the roof of Gryffindor Tower. I imagine I can see him sitting there, hiding from the moon, hiding from me.

I wish again that I can find some way to save him. To help him. I wish that he would let me.

I tear my gaze from the Tower's crown and walk towards the entrance.

Someday, I think, we will stand together and there will be no moon to hide from. We will see only starlight, and we won't be afraid.

A/N: Exactly 200 words. For some reason, I just had to write Sirius's side of what Remus sees in I Have Dreamed. So here it is. What do you think? Please review!
