Chapter 6
Memoriam
Sirius stared in shock as the fading image of his dead godson imprinted itself upon his memory.
He heard Lily sobbing harder on his left, although it seemed as if he were far away.

They only watched each other, knowing that the one person they had all given their lives for, in the hopes he would live, had finally died.
And all Sirius could think about was-
"I would have won that card game."
