Lives Washed Away

Lives Washed Away: Remus and Saraan

"Remus J. Lupin, if you do it I swear I'll jump in right after you!" Saraan yelled. The water hit the sharp rocks she stood on. Saraan looked out at Remus, standing farther out on the rocks ready to jump into the crashing waves of the high tide.

"Remus!" she yelled it again, but he didn't hear her, or chose to ignore her. "Why are you doing this?"

This time he turned. His eyes were bloodshot and he was shaking with grief. "You don't understand," He said, barely so she could hear it. "James and Lily are dead. Sirius is a damn traitor, and he killed Peter. He killed Less, and he handed Lily and James over to Voldemort. All my friends are dead or locked up."

Saraan took careful steps closer to him. "What about us." She called. "You've still got Maxis and I."

Remus shook his head sadly and turned back to look at the sea.

"Remus!" Saraan called once more. "Your life isn't ruined, you're about to ruin it by throwing your self off a cliff like some muggle lunitic now get away from that ledge!"

Remus bent his knees, and turned his head back to Saraan, "Besides," he said in a whisper. "The magical world will be better off with one less werewolf."

Saraan's eyes widened. She knew he didn't think that and it was the pity talking but that didn't stop her from wondering if maybe he did think that. Her thinking gave Remus a chance to jump. She heard the yell, and looked up; saw he wasn't there.

Grabbing her wand she muttered a spell that brought his body back up to the top of the ledge.

(A/N- Yes I know it's a very short piece. But I just felt like writing that.)
