Remus' life came to a halt the night of the Potter's deaths. The moment Remus Lupin heard of Lily and James Potter's death he went searching for Sirius Black, of course he didn't find him but instead heard of his arrest and the death of Peter Pettigrew. Before he could even start to mourn the death of Lily and James or Peter, Lupin went to Dumbledore. By using the secret entrances that were specifically made for him, Lupin made it onto the grounds of Hogwarts and walked straight to the headmaster's office. Barging in, the first thing he noticed was the deadness of the office. When he was at Hogwarts there was always a buzzing and liveliness in Dumbledore's study but today it was dark and dreary. The second thing he did was half-heartedly search for Harry. He had heard the rumors that Harry had lived but it was hard to imagine the little boy without his parents. Before Remus could start saying anything Dumbledore, who was sitting at his desk with his head bowed over his hands as if praying, spoke, "Harry is safe, Remus. Sirius is..." Dumbledore couldn't say the words, he just shook his head. Remus broke down, he couldn't accept that his best friend had betrayed everyone. He had felt so much pain in his life but this was the worst pain he had ever endured. For the next hour Remus sat in a crumpled pile on the office floor, weeping. When he couldn't seem to do it anymore Remus rose up and said "I want to take care of Harry." Dumbledore examined him for a minute and then spoke "I personally delivered the boy to a safe place. He needs to stay where he is, it's the only option." Remus had always been respectful toward Dumbledore, he was always the first to apologize for a prank gone too far. He would stand silently while James and Sirius argued with Dumbledore, but Remus owed so much to the man that he could never be angry with him, until this moment when, respectfully, he disagreed "Harry needs to be with someone that loves him, I'm the only one that's left. I don't know where you could've taken him but I promise he is not as safe as he would be with me." Dumbledore did not have time to care about feelings, he had been awake for days and was blaming himself for the death of the two Potters as well as Pettigrew. So without thinking he said "What do you expect to do on full moons? Do you think you can keep the boy safe when you can't control yourself? You have to let it be, you won't be good for the child." Dumbledore had never been harsh about his problem, he had been accepting and understanding. Dumbledore had stuck his neck out for Remus before he even knew him but now in Remus' darkest hour Dumbledore was turning his back on him. Remus felt sick, he left without another word.
