~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Remus walked up to the path and looked at the house. It was a decently sized 2-story cottage located in the middle of a large and lush forest. No one had ever been here with him except Dumbledore and Sirius. Remus sighed deeply. , *Sirius* he thought with tears gathering, * no, I will not cry I will not cry I will not cry.*
He then walked up to the door and opened it. He walked carefully and slowly up the stairs as if careful not to disturb anything. He then walked past a cluttered storage room, a bedroom, and a bathroom before reaching his destination, his study.
It was his favorite room in the whole house. It was quiet and simple with a gorgeous view of the forest. He then walked up to the desk and sat down. He then opened a side drawer and took something out. It was an old photo.
The photo was of the 4 marauders in their prime. Before Voldermort came to true power. Before Peter's betrayal before the death of James and Lily before. he stopped he didn't want to think about it anymore.
In the photo James Potter sat on the far left, then there was Sirius Black, then he himself Remus Lupin, and then Peter Pettrigrew. James was playing with that golden snitch from long ago and Sirius was grinning at the camera and shoved James when the golden snitch almost hit his face. The young Remus rolled his eyes at their childish antics and turned the page in the book he was reading. Sirius then tried to take the book away. Remus scowls at Sirius while trying to keep a hold of the book. Peter watches a butterfly flutter past.
They had all been so happy then, so young and full of life and hope. They had known that that Voldermort person was trouble but they didn't know what it would lead to. If they had they would have tried harder to destroy him when he still didn't reach full power, but that is all over. Voldermort was dead and the wizarding world was safe, but so many lives were lost. So many lives had been sacrificed in the name of what people believed was right"
The Final Battle.
Remus ran into the building. *This is it, this is the last time we fight him. Either we win or we lose* they had split up to take down as many deatheaters as possible. Remus had defeated quite a few already and was worried about what would appear next.
He runs in to one of the rooms and stops. Its complety dark, but then a circle of light appears in the center, and in the middle of the circle is Peter Pettrigrew.
"Hello Remuussss", rasps Peter. Remus's eyes harden," Pettrigrew" "Now Remussssss is that anyway to talk to an old friend?" Remus snorts in disgust," Some friend you are." They then start to duel. Shooting curse left and right when suddenly Peter sounds out a powerful Expelliarmus. Remus's wand is in Peter's hand and Remus is on his knees panting. He should have known better then to fight so close to the full moon. It always gets him so tired. "Now who has the upper hand? I am not the pudgy little weakling you once knew Remus. I now have power beyond belief! Serving my master as his right hand man is a very high honor. James and Sirius have already discovered my power Remus. Now you will too. Ava.."
"Why Peter? Why did you do it? Why did you betray us?"
"Why do you care?"
" I always did. We all did. We were friends Peter. That's what friends do. They care"
"LIAR!!!!! It's not true!!!! You didn't care!!!! None of you did!!!! You were all so popular!!!!So happy!!! So perfect!!!! You don't know what it's like!!!! To be useless!!!! To be an.." "Outcast? Peter I'm a fucking werewolf! Don't you remember? My whole life I was alone until I met you all. I know what it's like to be alone. To stand there in a corner watching others have good time!!" Tears gather in both of there eyes," I know!! To have people be nice to you and try to become friends because they feel sorry for you! That's not what we all were!!!! We were friends!!! True friends!!! The marauders!!!" Then Remus sounds quieter, tired," Go ahead Peter kill me. Like you killed James and Lily. Kill me like you killed Sirius and so many others."
Peter stands there for a while tears in his eyes mixed with terror, grief, and guilt. He drops Remus's wand. " I have to go," he whispers, and he vanishes into the shadows.
"I didn't find out what happened to peter until after the battle. It turned out that peter saved Harry's life. When Voldermort and Harry were battling Harry, exhausted paused for one second. That one-second was enough time for voldermort to send out the killing curse at him. Peter had jumped in front of Harry screaming James. Voldermort then froze. Shocked at his most loyal servant's heroic act. Harry took advantage of that moment and defeated Lord Voldermort. And there in that abandoned manor decades of terror ended."
They were all gone. All of them. Except for him. They were buried in the small cemetery reserved for the Potters. There they lie together With three gorgeous marble tombstones. Sirius couldn't be buried though there was no body. Instead a beautiful memorial was installed in a park renamed The Maurders. The memorial was huge, a 5 foot white marble pillar in which on all sides carved in gold were the names of everyone who died in the war. Whether they were on the side of the light or not. Even Tom Riddle's name was there, but not in memory of the terrifying Lord of darkness and hate, but a young boy lonely and scared who could not forgive the world for abandoning him. On top of the pillar was a life size statue of Snuffles made of black marble. And in front of the dog's feet was a gold plaque that read:
Snuffles
Through the veil lie forgotten dreams
Remus sighed. He had to stop thinking about it they were not going to come back. He then curled up in the huge chair and started to weep. He was alone now. The only one left. The Last Marauder.
Outside of the house about 3 yards away a black dog sits gazing longingly at the upstairs window. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Well that's it so far and actually it turned out better then I thought it would. Like or don't like? Continue or stop? You tell me, please review and I will be a very happy person. Suggestions and criticism would be wonderful
Until next time
