Short drabble...I don't own Harry Potter...Review if you want! Slightly AU, Remus never married Tonks.
I knew she was smart. I knew he was persistent. What I didn't know was that it would turn out to be the best thing that happened to my best mate and one of my close friends.
What they never knew… what she never knew, was that I was in love with her.
But she didn't love me.
Not like she loved him.
I tried to smile. Tried to be happy. I tried to live with a broken heart. Tried not to let her see.
He was my best friend. Stuck with me through thick and thin. He even became an illegal animagus to keep me company during my monthly escapades. I chose friendship over love.
What could I give her anyway? Love? You can't provide for someone with only love. I swore never to fall in love. My resolve crumbled when I met her. I would give anything to have her in my arms. Yet I knew that this happiness wasn't for me.
When I heard they died, I didn't believe it. I refused to believe it. I wouldn't believe it. She can't be dead. She can't… But she was.
I will never forget her. I will always love her. As I stand in the turmoil of the battle, Antonin Dolohov raises his wand at me with a sneer on his face. Avada Kedavra.
I'm going to be with them…with her. With my best friends. With my secret love. With Lily.
