In a post-DH world...
Jul. 31st, 2007 12:55 am...so much is AU, which is sad and tragic.
There have been so many wolfstar fics about telling Harry and all I can think now is "and then there were none." Lupin will never tell that story. There will be no quiet, serious, Sirius-tinged dusty memories between the two. ...and I mourn that loss, because I think he should know. I want Hestia Jones -someone -anyone, to race in there and tell the story because I think it needs telling.
There should be laughter and a bottle of butterbeer on a kitchen table when it's told. I don't see that now. All I can see is forgotten photos, and letters, a quiet "oh", a quiet revelation, and all I can think is and this is where they launch into that story about that time when... and it ends in laughter.
All the marauders are gone, Severus and Lily, too. There is no future. ..and those have to be some of the four most depressing words in existence when uttered alone.
