Lament of the Angels

Series of drabbles. Canon compliant. What would the deceased characters of Harry Potter have to say, if they could speak to him from beyond the grave? Rating for caution. ON HIATUS.

4. Sirius's Lament

Lament of the Angels:
Sirius Black

You'll win.

I can say that as a certainty, because I know you will. I'm not sure you even know how to fail, so why would you?

But I know you'll win. You value life. You value compassion, love, friendship, courage...

Those are the things Voldemort scoffs at, the things he scorns.

And those are the things you cherish.

You'll win because you're fighting for something greater than yourself. For your friends, and their families, and their friends... For the whole world. You fight for the dead, those that are still living, and those who will one day have life. You fight for the future, the past and the present. You fight for the planet, the universe, and all of Time.

You fight for everything, and for everyone.

You are the champion, Harry; the stars spell out your name.

And the champion will not fail.

But you won't fight for yourself, Harry; you'll never even consider yourself a part of it all.

Maybe that's the saddest thing of all.

Review if you have something to say.
