“They’re gone. Gone. What am I going to do?” Sirius looked up at James, tears streaming from his eyes. “I’m alone. He killed her. What am I going to do?”
James shrugged, unable to make a coherent sentence. They looked at each other, words unable to express their pain.
“She is everything. She’s the only girl…woman… The only one I’ve ever loved! We are supposed to be together forever!” Sirius bent over, his body wracked with sobs.
James bent down, moving his hand hesitantly. He finally rested it on Sirius’s back, giving “manly” comfort. “I know mate. I can’t even imagine…”
Sirius looked up, his eyes bloodshot, his face stained with tears. “You’re right. You have no idea. No idea what it’s like to have your wife and child murdered!” He broke again, heaving, trying to catch his breathe.

Sirius sat on his bed, clutching a photograph of a young woman and an infant. “Oh Jessie. It’s been fifteen years to the day. Fifteen years, and not a day goes by that I don’t miss you and Allie. I don’t feel right. It’s like a part of me was ripped out and destroyed.”
He felt the tears begin to fall. “It was so quick! First you and Allie, then James and Lily and Harry, you were all taken away! Leaving me alone! I rotted in prison Jess. I was alone, no one around. Not a day goes by. I just feel…”
The photo fell to the ground. Sirius wiped away the tears with the back of his hand, standing shakily. “I can’t take it Jess. I feel so…alone. So…incomplete.”
