“Take a moment to deal with this. We survived.“
HE HAD NEVER KNOWN SILENCE LIKE THIS -------- IT’S HAUNTING . bitter && cold . there is no warmth here . all shades of grey flicker through the scene in front of him . there is NOTHING but tones of cold . heart still beating within the confines of his chest , he knows that he is alive . he is safe . bones ache from the fight && mind exhausted completely to the point he is sure that if asked , he would not be able to offer a response . not one COHERENT at least . && then , && then oh that feeling in his whole torso --------- not unlike moments before a full moon where he felt displaced .
sirius was GONE .
head dipped down . the greying swirls of his vision only blinded by the sheer radiance of her glow as she sat beside him . fingers around the end of his wand , the piece of wand pointing down as he let his magic touch upon the stones below , weeds sprouting from the cracks . yes they SURVIVED .
perhaps of course he should have known that sirius would always die in battle . always die upon the edge of a sword ------- as how he LIVED .
head tilted towards her as she then threads her arms through his own , balancing her head against his shoulder . it’s not just his dearest friend who has gone but her closest connection to a family she’s NEVER KNOWN or been part of . his gaze flicks towards her . there is a feeling of warmth that permeates this grey cloud that weighs . they survived . they would live to see another day . that was at least something .
he could not help but think though ------ sirius should have LIVED . && thusly , he should have been the one to die . // @eccentricauror
