I'm begging of you please don't take my man
He was drifting again. I hated it. I had to support him and I hated it. I hated her and I hated that she could have him and I could not at least, not the way she would.

Remus approached me about my feelings today. Merlin, that is one conversation we will never be revisiting, ever. I ranted for what felt like hours about how she was going to pull us apart and destroy our friendship and in the end I ended up in Remus' bed.
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
I understood why he liked her, and for this I hated him. He didn't notice (of course). He was spending more time whining about the woman he loved than with us but now I had Remus and he was still pining after a girl who hated him.
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
He asked her to the Yule ball, she, of course, denied. I wish that he asked me, instead I went with Remus who every other dance would stand up, say "Come on, you looked depressed, let's go dance." and drag me onto the dance floor.
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
He made me cry, the bastard made me cry. That's what his mum saw when she got home, her son's best friend on the floor sobbing because he couldn't tell the guy that he likes that he wanted to be with him.
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
It's been a year, we're out of school now. He's proposing tonight, I helped plan it. He doesn't know that I modeled it the way I would have liked.

The wedding's today. I would have skipped out on it but I am the best man and considering that I was "supportive" of their relationship "from the beginning", it makes sense.
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
They're having a baby and they want me to be the little kid's godfather. I said yes because James asked as though this was some kind of dirty joke being shared in transfiguration in fourth year.
He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
Harry was staring at me as though I was the lunatic that he had heard about in his third year, I was sure of it. He was probably thinking 'did my godfather just ask me to marry him?!' Gods, I was an absolute moron!
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
But then he moved my face up to look at him and all I saw was all the love I had been denied since I was very young, "Of course Siri."

Two years later I sat in our living room playing with James Sirius, Lily Alexandra and Remus Fredrick. I was expecting another two babies in July, one girl and one boy. I was starting to worry because Harry should've been home by now. Then there was a knock at the door.

Please don't take him even though you can
"Mr. Black?"
"Potter-Black, actually. Can I help you?"
"Well actually I'm here talk about your husband, Mr. Harry Potter?"
"Oh, erm… o-okay. Erm, would you… would you like to er, to come in?" I said, now worried out of my mind and terrified for my husband.
"If it would help."
So the man walked in and I finally got a good look at him. He had shoulder length red hair and sparkling blue eyes. With his stocky build and broad shoulders he reminded me very much of… "Ron? Ronald Weasley, is that you?"
"Nice geuss Sirius, though I wish I wasn't here with the news that I am. You'll want to sit down, I'll make some tea."
"No. First you tell me what happened. The DMLE only sends someone to an auror's home if something happens. And it's gotta be something bad, really bad."
"Fine, but don't kill me. Today we were out on patrol, Harry and I. Harry was the healer on call. We ran into trouble. Dark wizards, old Voldie supporters. Trying to avenge their master's death. Harry was always good on defence when we were teens and he held his own. Eventually we had worn down our attackers to the dark wiards, what we didn't expect was the ba-"
"Ron, my children are in the other room and these two are able to hear you quite clearly!" I interrupted gesturing to the next room and my swollen stomach in turn.
"Oh, yeah. Sorry. Anyway we weren't expecting them to have back up. One of them shot me in the back with a stunner and had Harry trade himself over for me. They released me and they killed Harry. He gave me a message before they killed him. He told me where the resurrection stone was. Told me to give it to you." Ron then pulled out the stone from his pocket and pushed it in to mine, "He wants to talk to you."
