Jan. 12th, 2026 05:51 pmyour heart is the rock
you threw through each window
of what's deserted you, so you turn
to the burnt out building inside you: the scaffolding
overhead, the fallen beams

( Sirius had lost friends in the first war and more in the second. He was one of the only ones left. )

Tear Down the House I Grew Up In, 1/5 (Sirius/Severus)
Jan. 12th, 2026 05:46 pmAfter every war
someone has to clean up.
Things won’t
straighten themselves up, after all.
— Wisława Szymborska
( When the war was over it was still not over. There were the names of the missing. There was the burying of the dead. There were the reparations and there was the work of the Obliviators. There were the arrests of Voldemort’s supporters and agitators. There were the trials, the war crime tribunals. )
