A/N: When one is given free rein to write songfics without fear of ridicule, why not take advantage of it? :) Inspired by Sarah McLachlin's Full of Grace. A longer and, I feel, a much superior version can be found here.
Disclaimer: Harry Potter, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Severus Snape, and all their associates are characters belonging to J.K. Rowling. I claim no rights to them, their surroundings, or their situations. Much to my sorrow.
Aftermath
---
The winter here's cold, and bitter
Shivering amid the ruins, Remus thought he'd never feel warm again.
I feel just like I'm sinking and I claw for solid ground
Sirius was laughing. He couldn't stop. It was preposterous, absurdly horrible...
Oh darkness, I feel like letting go.
Well after midnight, Severus finally broke down. Such extravagant risks he'd taken--and failed.
If all of the strength and all of the courage come and lift me from this place...
Sheltered by innocence, Harry alone slept peacefully that night.
I know I could love you much better than this
Full of grace.
