Melodies of Us
Author: AzureLuna
Summary: The story of our favorite puppies, and their harsh journey through life as expressed in the form of song. Music from Broadway plays and musicals.
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. And also, I don't stick to the books past OotP.. Sirius survived the veil in my story, and from then on it's all my own plot.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Otherwise that little epilogue would've been a tad different. Mwhaha, and I DO NOT own any of the songs or the musicals which the songs are from! Credits go to Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Sound of Music, Moulin Rouge, Jekyll and Hyde, Miss Saigon, Les Miserables.
Act IV
'In His Eyes'
Sirius and Remus talking to each other halfway through Azkaban
6 years.. 6 long painful years since we last made love, since I felt I knew him, since we were "we". It gets more painful by the day.
"I sit and watch the rain,
And see my tears run down the windowpane…"
6 years.. 6 excruciating years since I've seen his face, touched his skin, my love, my wolf, my mate, my life.
"I sit and watch the sky.
And I can hear it breathe a sigh…"
"I think of him,
How we were…"
Sirius drowned out the moans of pain from the other prisoners.
"And when I think of him,
Then I remember…"
Remus and Sirius sighed.
"Remember…"
Remus breathed in and sang softly.
"In his eyes I can see
Where my heart longs to be"
"In his eyes I see a gentle glow,
And that's where I'll be safe, I know"
Remus hugged the pillow on his bed close to his chest.
"Safe in his arms, close to his heart…"
Sirius let out a long suffering sigh.
"But I don't know quite where to start.."
Remus closed his eyes and tried his best to remember the image of his love. Thinking about what it would be like to look at Sirius now.
"By looking in his eyes,
Will I see beyond tomorrow?"
A Dementor passed by Sirius' cell again, he flinched; he hardly reacted anymore, but the feeling of ultimate dread was still upon him all the same.
"By looking in his eyes,
Will I see beyond the sorrow
That I feel?"
Remus suddenly remembered why Sirius was gone in the first place.
"Will his eyes reveal to me
Promises or lies?"
Sirius thought of this also, and thought that even if Remus did love him he would hide it, but he assured himself, "But he can't conceal from me
The love in his eyes"
Remus smiled to himself sadly, burying himself safely in old memories "I know their every look,
His eyes"
Sirius remembered the tender golden depths, "They're like an open book,
His eyes!"
Remus and Sirius both began remembering the fateful day they first saw each other, and met, "But most of all the look
That hypnotized me!"
Remus sighed to himself thinking that he was getting for cheerful about someone who was now in prison, an accused killer, "If I'm wise,
I will walk away,
And gladly.."
Sirius looked wistful, "But, sadly,
I'm not wise,
It's hard to talk away
The mem'ries that you prize!"
Remus began smiling again and he could practically feel Sirius' smile again, " Love is worth forgiving for!"
Sirius now thought it was silly to wish death upon himself, Remus always changed everything dramatically though, "Now I realize -"
Remus and Sirius looked to the silvery moon and sang softly, "Everything worth living for
Is there, in his eyes!"
Remus was more sure of himself and his love, he had long forgotten the accusation and the problems in the way, "Love is worth forgiving for!
Now I realize -"
Sirius repeated, "Now I realize -"
Remus wanted to touch Sirius again and Sirius felt the same and just wanted to get out of this hell and get to his love, the years that are going to come will be long and painful, but they both agreed that the other was worth any length of time, "Everything worth living for
Is there, in his eyes"
