Severus closed the heavy door behind him and shut the world out of his chambers. His weary and tired steps through the sitting room felt like somebody was holding the hem of his robes and held him back from reaching his goal, the bedroom. His whole body felt numb and too exhausted.

There was no fire in the fireplace and no cheery crackling sound of burning wood filled the chamber. Only the slight light of lit candles on the walls sent a weak and almost none existent glow into the room. The ambience was as dark and hopeless as the Potion Master’s emotions.

Slowly, ever so slowly Severus neared the bedroom door. It was as if the floor was stretching just to make the way there never ending. Somehow it seemed that everybody and everything tried to torment him further and keep him from forgetting.

Another step closer to his destiny and Severus felt the pain in his chest increase. Why? Why was it always him who had to lose what he loved and treasured? It had always been like that and it would always stay like this but still he felt betrayed. He had hoped that since this person was very important to the generally lucky ones as well, he would be save. Unfortunately his bad luck had been stronger than the other’s good luck.

One more step and the door was looming in front of him. Finally he was getting were he wanted to be. Well, not exactly where he wanted to be but the next best thing. If something like that existed. Opening the door Severus stepped inside the chilly and dark room.

Making his last few steps to the empty and cold bed he closed his eyes and forced the tears stinging them to stay away. But he was too weak. Today’s ordeal had been tom much for him and so they were soon running down his cheek, hot and wet, finding their path down his cheeks.

Climbing into the unwelcoming bed, Severus curled up and cradled his pillow closely. Once more he sighed heavily before closing his eyes and forcing himself to sleep, a word escaping him as he drifted off into the nightmares.

“Sirius.”
