Note: This could take awhile to write, so I appologise beforehand for the appalling amount of time it's going to take to write.
Sunday evening:-
Sirius was breathing hard as he and Remus hid behind a oak. They'd been in the middle of tea when a band of M.O.M Aurors had descended on them. Together they had fled into the woods from them, and the Aurors had followed them, now they were both taking shelter behind this oak with their pursuers just behind them. Sirius glanced at his terrified friend. He was shivering and shkaeing like a leaf in the breeze, and Sirius wanted so much to hold him and protect him. But he knew he couldn't, wouldn't, shouldn't... He vaugely wonderd why Remus had fled too, and he decided to ask.

"Moony," he whisperd "why did you run?"

"You think I want to be put away for hideing a fugitive?" he whisperd back, urgently. A storm was breaking all around them and he could hear their ex-co-workers shouting for them.

"Sirius! Remus! Come on out, we know you're around here someplace! We've already got your little friend Pettigrew under arrest, so why not join him?"

"Thomson." Sirius whisperd but Remus was thinking along completely diffrent lines.

"They've got Wormtail? Sirius, with Dumbledors help we can prove you're innocent!"

"I'm not giveing myself up to them, if thats what you're thinking Remus."

"Then I'll give myself up and make a deal with them." Remus whisperd back, faceing Sirius with that amazeing amber stare of his.

"They'll put you in Azkaban. I don't think I could live with myself if they did anything to you."

"It'll be worth it if you're freed, if not then at least we'll both be in Azkaban together."

"Moony, listen to me. Azkaban is hell on earth. Everything good is sucked out and it leaves you unable to do anything, understand? And even when you're out, you don't recover from it. I really don't want you to do this."

"Tough, because I am going to do it, because I- I'm your Friend." with that Remus squeezed Sirius' forearm one more time and whirled away in frount of the M.O.M officals where he was seized by the arms and dragged away. Sirius watched him go then turned and began to run in the direction of Hogwarts, transforming in mid stride into a huge back dog.

Remus Lupin strained his neck looking back over his shoulder to catch one more glance of Sirius, knowing of course that he wouldn't get one. He turned his head ahead and straitend himself out, refuseing to be 'dragged' like this, walking ahead of his captors and sitting composed in the back seat although he still shiverd, but not from cold. He shiverd from something much deeper than that.
