~The day the music died~
Remus pondered how he got here, lying next to his dead wife, half dead himself.
~and they were singing~
He’d stumbled upon Dora while fighting some death eater, and promptly finished him off before stumbling toward her and falling to cradle her in his arms. He thinks he was crying. He can’t remember.
~bye bye miss American pie~
He remembers getting up at some point to fight again, and ran into a man he recognized from the paper. Dolohove he thinks is his name.
~drove my Chevy to the levee~
It didn’t take long for Dolohove to disarm him. He was tired . So very tired.
~but the levee was dry~
Dolohove hit him with a wordless spell. He couldn’t tell which one, but it left him torn up and bleeding. He couldn’t tell then, but he was relieved he’d be gone soon.
~and them good old boys~
As he lay there bleeding out, he thinks about all the good things he has had in his life. Harry, Sirius, James, Teddy, Dora . Even Pete passes through his mind at one point, and he finds that he doesn’t mind.
~are drinking whiskey and rye~
He can feel when it happens. When he finally crosses over. He’s greeted by warm hands. Ones that he hadn’t felt in far too long. He’s greeted by Sirius, his first love.
~singing this’ll be the day that I die~
Next he sees James, hair as messy as the last time he saw him. And they hug the three of them. Remus, Sirius, and James. Together again
~This’ll be the day that I die~
He’s home. Remus made it home.
