A Thousand Miles: Far Way And Gone

A THOUSAND MILES: FAR AWAY AND GONE

Making my way down town
And I'm home bound

Sirius could see their lifeless faces in his mind. Wandering down a street crowded with muggles in London like a zombie, he was thinking about the way the Marauders had been at Hogwarts. The way that his best friend, his brother, his captain had been and James's dear sweet, sweet Lily Evans. As he stepped inside the doorway of his house Sirius looked into the old, full-length mirror that hung on the wall in the entrance hallway. He saw their faces as they had been at Harry's first birthday party, James, Lily, little baby Harry, Remus, himself and Peter. It was only three months ago now? How strange I feel... Sirius thought. The faces in the mirror disappeared to be overwhelmed by Peter's smiling, laughing face. Peter's eyes seemed to mock him. Sirius's fist contacted with the mirror and it shattered. Sirius fled the house back into the streets of Muggle London...

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Through the crowd

Only last night Harry had found out what had truly happened to his parents. Meeting Sirius and Professor Lupin and even that traitor Wormtail was the closed I've come to having my parents in twelve years... Harry thought as he walked back to Gryffindor house. Harry had been talking to Professor Lupin or rather to Moony about the Marauders' days at Hogwarts. The Marauders certainly had been as notorious about breaking school rules as Fred and George are today...

And I need you
And I miss you

Remus dropped the Daily Prophet on the table in shock, his eyes wide in disbelief. It can't be true, there is no way in less then twenty-four hours I'm the only true Marauder left. Remus thought before the tears started to stream down his face. But how could Sirius, Padfoot be the one who betrayed Lily and James...

Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you... tonight

Sirius trotted down Privet Drive in dog form. I have to see him, I must see little Harry one more time before I kill that traitorous bastard Pettigrew. Sirius told himself as he stopped in front of number four Privet Drive, Sirius looked up at the stars searching for his star, the Dog Star...

I don't belong
Living in your precious memory

Harry lay on a bed in the hospital wing staring blankly at the ceiling thinking about the events of the night before. Last night had been the first time Harry could remember his parents talking to him. Harry frowned as a morbid thought occurred to him: Did I, do I deserve the sacrifice you made thirteen years ago?

I drown in your memory
I, I've fallen...

Peter stared into the night sky thinking about the information he had just given Lord Voldemort. The Dark Lord said that I would feel the dark power flowing through me if I gave him information. Peter thought as tears streamed down his face. He was right about one thing; I do feel darkness in my heart and mind. How could I betray them!? They were greater people then the Dark Lord will ever be...
