“Sirius, I am sorry, but it is my time. My ticket was pulled and I must go. Remus, you the sanest one here so please help me!”
“No James. No. Hold a moment and I’ll show you the exact reason why.” Remus walked over to the motorcycle in which a cot was lying beside. He reinstated the dry spell and Remus picked the sleeping boy up out of the cot. “This is the reason why. James, this is your son. You can’t leave him. This is you wife, James, and you can’t leave her,” Remus stood next to Lily and his once strong, loud voice became a whisper. “You can’t leave us.” It was evident Harry had awoken at this exchange as he squirmed in Remus’ arms.
James looked like he was about to cry. “Do you think if I could’ve, I would’ve stayed and tried to save myself? Do you think I had a choice to save myself and Lily and Harry, I would’ve taken it? I get to be here with you guys for one last time to tell you goodbye. If I’ve known I’d trouble you all this much, I wouldn’t have come. I need to go. I need to move on. I love you all. Never forget that.” He floated over to Harry. “My boy. I love you son. Be good for Mummy, Uncle Pads, and Uncle Moons. Goodbye my little Harry.”
His face turned solemn as turned towards the adults. “Goodbye. Enjoy your lives. I’ll be waiting for you. Don’t show up too soon Lily or you Sirius.” He put on a stern face.
“No James, please. Please don’t leave. I’m sorry. Please, don’t leave us... leave me.”
“Lily, don’t make this harder. I must go. I love you, but I must go.” He slowly started to disappear when Harry started to cry. Remus passed Harry to Lily to try to soothe him.
“No, no baby, don’t cry. Daddy’s just going to leave for a while. Please Harry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry Harry. I’m sorry Sirius and Moony. I’m sorry Lily. I gave up my life for you to live and now I have to go. That’s how it works. Forget me if you must, just please let me go.” He looked like he was about to cry, if he was able to.
“Dada... Dada, come back. Me wants Dada,” Harry whined.
“Goodbye my son,” he said as he began to get fainter.
