This is the way you left me Harry walked over the dewy grass towards three marble grave stones I'm not pretending Harry wiped away a few stray tears and finally came to a stop in front of the white marble graves. No hope, no love, no glory No happy ending Harry ran his fingers over the engravings: Lily Potter, James Potter and Sirius Black. They were here, his should-have-been happy family. This is the way that we love Like it's forever And live the rest of our life But not together His parents, he'd never known them, yet they were always there, helping him. They were there all through out the battle, guiding him until the very end... Wake up in the morning Stumble on my life Can't get no love Without sacrifice They'd died, apparently ending the forever lasting battle with Voldemort. Then he'd come back and they were never there to celebrate the final end... If anything should happen I guess I wish you well Mmm, a little bit of heaven With a little bit of hell Sirius, the best god father Harry could have asked for. Always there for him, at least after he was out of Azkaban. And like Dumbledore had said, it was cruel they didn't have more time together... This is the hardest story That I've ever told No hope no love no glory No happy endings Gone forever more Why had this all happened to him? Harry sat down on the cold, hard ground and didn't even bother to wipe away the load of hot tears rolling down his cheeks. 'I'm so sorry.' Maybe if he hadn't been born this would never happened? They'd all be alive, everyone he'd lost would still be roaming this world right now... And I Feel as if I'm wasted 'I've done it. It's over.' Harry waved his wand and flowers appeared on all three graves. Harry knew that Sirius' body wasn't there, it was impossible to recover it but he'd insisted on having a grave stone put by his fathers, along with Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks... And I'm Wastin' every day Images flashed through his mind, his father falling to the ground... his mother leaping in front of him... Ginny's lifeless body lying on the floor of the Chamber of Secrets...Sirius riding off into the night on a hippogriff...the door of his cupboard being slammed shut...the Dark Mark... Cedric dying...Voldemort standing in front of him once more...Sirius falling through the veil...Dumbledore dropping out of sight down the Astronomy tower...curses narrowly missing Ginny...flying over London on a dragon...Fred's last laugh and the day Remus made him god father and Voldemort dropping onto the ground for the last time, his red eyes twinkling in the dawn. Then he came back to reality, they were dead. This is the way you left me 'I'm so sorry you guys all died for this and you'll never know how it turned out.' I'm not pretending ' Sirius, you'd still be alive if it weren't for me, you all would. If I wasn't such a prat, I'd have died seven years ago and maybe some of you would still be here.' No hope no love no glory No happy ending 'I miss you all so much. I never knew you, mum, dad. I only had two years with you Sirius but you were like a dad to me and I'm just glad that we had time to be happy. Even if it was all taken away from us...' This is the way that we love Like it's forever And spend the rest of our life If not together 'But she's dead now, Sirius. Ron's mum killed her.' Harry smiled in spite of himself, remembering the memory of Mrs Weasley charging towards Bellatrix Lestrange. 2 o'clock in the morning Somethings on my mind 'Voldemort's dead. It's going to be a while before I can forgive myself for all this but I don't think the pain will ever go away. Mum, dad, I've seen how you died and I'm just really proud of your deaths.' Can't get no rest Keep walkin' around 'Sirius, your death was - was really hard to get over. I was so angry that year, I even yelled at Hagrid for saying that fighting was the way you'd have wanted to go. I looked for a loop hole in your death, but I just had to accept it in the end...' If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong 'I had a new girlfriend the year after your death, she really helped me to forget and move on. But I broke up with her, to save her from Voldemort. I had to. He'd already possessed her in my second year just because she was Ron's sister, I didn't want to imagine what he'd do to her if he found out about us. We're back together now. Her brother, Fred, has died.' I can get to my sleep I can think we just carried on 'Remus, Tonks, I really didn't want you to die. I've given a child the same fate as me, to grow up with no parents. But I'll help him, I'll tell him stories about you two, about how great and brave you were. Teddy's going to be fine, I'll always be there for him. I'll be like the god father Sirius always wanted to be. This is the hardest story That I've ever told No hope no love no glory Happy endings gone forever more Harry sat there for a few minutes in silence and a warm, small hand soon enclosed his in hers. 'Are you ok Harry?' Ginny asked, she'd been watching his talk to his parent's from the kissing gate and she felt that he now needed support. I feel as if I'm wasted And I'm Wastin' every day Harry shook his head and closed his eyes tight. This is the way you left me I'm not pretending 'This is just harder than I thought it would be.' No hope no love no glory No happy ending 'It's alright, just carry on, you're doing great.' This is the way that we love Like it's forever 'I came to say thanks for being the best family in the world. You weren't always there, but you were there when I needed you most.' Then live the rest of our life But not together 'Excluding Voldemort, I've had a pretty good life so far. I've had great friends, family, mentors and - well - a great girlfriend.' Ginny shifted a bit and squeezed Harry's hand. A little bit of love 'I have the two best friends that anyone could ever ask for. Ron and Hermione have been a great help, well apart from them arguing every day, but I wouldn't be here today without both of them.' A little bit of love 'I'm going to live in your house Sirius. I know you hated it there and I agree that it's not exactly the homiest place on earth but it's going to be good for me.' A little bit of love 'Kingsley's offered me the job of Head Auror and I'm going to start next week.' I feel as if I'm wasted And I'm wastin' every day 'Harry, time to go,' came Hermione's voice from the other side of the grave yard. Ginny smiled at him and stood up but Harry hesitated. 'I just want a moment - alone with them.' Said Harry and Ginny nodded and followed Hermione. Harry turned to the graves and stood up. 'Bye. I'll come every week when I can.' This is the way you left me 'I love you guys.' I'm not pretending No hope no love no glory No happy ending This is the way that we love Like it's forever To live the rest of our lives But not together.
