¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The scene is horrific. It's nearly dreamlike, the way the dust settles. It all seems so...fake. The whole house is a wreckage. He fears the worst.
Sirius, a half hour ago, had a strange feeling in his gut. He couldn't, for the life of him, understand what it meant -- where was Moony when you needed him? -- so he got on his motorcycle and flew.
Flying had always cleared his thinking and tonight was no different. After twenty minutes, he decided that the feeling was that something bad was going to happen to two -- no, three -- of the most important people in his life.
But when he finally arrived at Godric's Hollow, it was already over. And now, here he is, staring into James' face, hand on his already cold cheek. Maybe Lily and Harry are okay, Sirius thinks, hopes.
Peter. He did this.
Sirius stands up, outraged. He looms over James' body as the power of vengeance and hatred fills him. And then, crying.
Harry.
Sirius pales and runs into the next room, stumbling onto Lily's body. A sob escapes him; he kneels next to her, says a quiet goodbye, closes her eyes just as he did to James, and goes to find Harry in the corner, squirming in his crib.
He had stopped crying. Harry looks up at him, and smiles.
Sirius thinks he can actually hear his own heart break.
