Disclaimer: I own nothing Harry Potter, of course, as I am not J. K. Rowling. And I certainly own nothing of the Unbroken Universe (in which this ficlet is set). That is the property of the amazing author, Robin4. Now, shoo! Check her stuff out first, then come back!
Reds and Golds
He stood at one of Avalon's windows.
It had begun.
The pain on his arm was fresh, but he forced it down for the moment. He didn't have time for that now.
The cool night breeze blew into his face as he watched the sun set...
Reds and golds... fading to black.
It always faded to black for him.
But those weren't thoughts he needed tonight…
Yes, it had begun. But for now, he'd focus on those reds and golds.
On what his world HAD been, rather than what it had become.
He could leave the black for another day.
Author's Note: Hi. You won't understand this if you haven't read the excellent Harry Potter AU's by Robin4, "Promises Unbroken" and "Promises Remembered" before you stop here. I'd suggest reading them. They're really worth it. If you have already read them, then you should note that this takes place (arg... can't remember the chapter), but in the spot of "Promises Remembered" where Sirius is at Avalon with the other aurors, waiting for Voldemort and the Death Eaters to show up. A peek into Sirius' mind. Originally, this was just written as a little drabble on her group page. Now I've posted it. Heh... I have more Unbroken drabbles to post once I find them.
