Authors Note: My advice to you reading this would be to try and find these songs and listen to them as you're reading. It's not necessary and some are a huge pain to locate, but it makes things in the story both sweeter and sadder.

Credits go to Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Sound of Music, Moulin Rouge, Jekyll and Hyde, Miss Saigon, Les Miserables.
Act II
'Memory'
Remus basking in some old happiness, takes place Harry's third year
Remus was taking a evening stroll around the Hogwarts grounds just reminiscing about his school days and each place held a special memory for him, Hogwarts was just filled with memories, the strongest memory by far was seeing Harry and thinking of James. Remus calmly walked trough the gardens, "Daylight
See the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading
Roses whither away" Remus gently took a rose in his hand and smelled the sweet fragrance.
"Like the sunflower
I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day"
Remus looked to the sky to see the daylight slowly slipping into darkness, Remus softly sang to himself continuing on the path, "Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan" Remus looked to the moon and at the dim glowing of the fireflies and wood fairies with their sparkling wings smiling wistfully.
"Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then" Remus looked at a fountain where he and Sirius shared their first kiss not but 16 years ago and he sat on the bench where Sirius had asked him to be his boyfriend and smiled happily to himself, "I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again.."
"Every streetlamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning" Remus rose up and walked to the tree he knew so well by the lake and he laid down and just wished Sirius was with him, but he wasn't. And he never will be. Remus pushed the thought away and remembered all the things the Marauders had done under this very tree, Peter said his first insult, Sirius had his first fist fight, and Remus and Sirius had their first quiet moment.
"Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in" Remus sang the familiar tune softly as he began playing with a patch of grass.
"When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin" Remus looked up at the stars and figured that it was probably midnight already, but he would remain here a little longer to satisfy the part of him that still felt as if he were in his 5th year.
"Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning" Remus closed his eyes and could smell the fresh air of his 5th year, filled with vanilla and Chocolate Frogs and a mellow spice scent, that Sirius had wrapped around him like a blanket.
Remus thought of how Sirius would love to be their with him, little did Remus know that Sirius was just on the other side of that tree, listening to him and smiling "Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun" Remus sang gently, as to not break the memory of Sirius and him together, as they once were.
"If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is" Remus still had his eyes closed and he started drifting off he could feel Sirius' arms around him and his soft voice saying, "I'm here." But Remus knew it wasn't real and he didn't bother opening his eyes, even when he felt warm lips on his.
Remus woke up a few hours later but it seemed like minutes, "Look
A new day has begun"
