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.

Act V
'I Still Believe'
Remus thinking and singing to Sirius through out their more painful years together in chronological order
Remus looked over at the space where Sirius, his lover should be, something was haunting him, and he wanted to know what it was, he was gone tonight he left without out much of an explanation, he had kissed him good bye and let his hands linger on Remus' face. It was driving Remus mad and he just wasn't sure. But he had the worst feeling that his mate wouldn't be returning any time soon.
"Last
night I watched him sleeping
my body pressed to him
and then he
started speaking
the name I heard him speak...was him
Yes I
know that this was years ago
but when moonlight fills my room I
know
you are here... Still"
Remus sighed and pushed the horrible feeling away, and sang to himself,
"I
still
I still believe
you will return
I know you will
my
heart
against all odds
holds still"
About
5 years later Remus had found out why Sirius had left that night, and
that Sirius didn't return, Remus knew he was innocent but didn't
know how to reason that he was, he still had hope though, "Yes,
still
I still believe
I know as long as I can keep believing,
I'll live
I'll live
love cannot die
you will return
you
will return
and I alone know why"
Remus, after Sirius
had broken free and came to his house to live, he was beside him at
long last, where he belonged, but Sirius was still haunted by Peter,
by the dementors, by the time away from his mate, and he always slept
fretfully, Remus ran his hands through Sirius' hair, "Last night
I watched you sleeping
once more, the nightmare came
I heard
you cry out something
a word that sounded like... a name
and it
hurts me more than I can bear
knowing part of you I'll never
share
never know" Remus trailed off sadly.
And
yet again Remus found himself alone and depressed, Sirius had fallen
through the Veil, but there was still hope, and that's the only
reason why Remus was still breathing, was the hope that you don't
die when you pass through the Veil, that you can come back, "But
still
I still believe
the time will come
when nothing keeps
us apart
my heart, forever more
holds still"
The Order had been genuinely shocked and happy when Sirius came back to Grimmauld Place, but he had been traumatized by whatever he had seen beyond the Veil. Sirius ignored everybody's questions and ran to Remus and gripped him, sobbing, Remus comforted him and ran his hands through Sirius' hair and whispered,
"It'
s all over, I' m here
there is nothing to fear
Please! What' s
haunting you?
won' t you let me inside
what you so want to
hide!
I need you too!" Remus begged softly, hopelessly.
Remus lied in bed, holding Sirius, trying to calm him enough to get him to sleep, "For still
((I will hold you all night,
I
will make it all right))
I still believe
((you
are safe with me))
as long as I
((and
I wish you could tell what you don't
want to tell))
can keep
believing,
I'll live ((what your hell must be))"
Sirius
opened his bloodshot eyes to look at Remus and he held on to him
tightly, "I love you," Remus smiled softly and wiped away his
tears, "I love you too" Then he started singing softer as Sirius
was drifting off to sleep, "You can sleep now
((you have
returned))
You
can cry now
and I know why I'm your mate now
I'm yours for
life
Until we die"
And as the last soothing note floated on the cold night air, for the first time in a year, safe in the arms of his mate. Sirius slept.
