This fanfiction was in memorial of one of our loved Marauders and known
character, Sirius Black. Each chapter will be by a different characters
point of view. First will be Remus, next will be Leon and finally the last
one will be Via.
The message was sent on a winter afternoon. Everyone was home on the holidays, by their warm cozy fire or outside in the snow but that didn't matter. I had just gotten news, the worst anyone could ever receive. I was still shocked by it, even when I wrote the message to Leon. As I had written it, the quill brushed against my face a few times but that didn't matter. All that mattered was, Via needed to find out.
I had to send the letter to Leon, for she was the only one who knew of Via's location. A few tears had been soaked up by the parchment and the rest I wiped away from my face with my sleeve. I didn't want to believe, but I knew it was true. I send the message by owl and hoped that it got to Leon as soon as magically possible. I put down my dark blue quill and walked over to a maroon colored chair and sat myself it in.
I seemed to be hypnotized as I watched the flames in the fireplace flicker at the bricks surrounding it. It was the only light in the whole room and it made everything seem to have a small glow. My mind was in a state of confusion. Why did it have to be Sirius? Did Leon get my owl yet? How will Via be able to cope with this?
I shook my head gently, bringing myself back to reality. This happened for a reason, I kept telling myself. Maybe, I thought but then there seemed to be a pause in that thought. Maybe he would be faking his death? No. He would never fake his death. It had to be real. Remus, its real and you have to move on.
But I felt something, I felt like something was missing now. I knew that what I was missing was Him but, when he went for vacations or something for a long time, I never felt this before. Its a familiar feeling. I closed my eyes to think of what to do, how to deal with it. Suddenly my amber eyes sprung open. I remember this feeling! It was the same feeling. The same feeling when I had found out I was a werewolf.
That I , Remus J. Lupin, had committed a murder of a family of four, the first time I had changed under a full moon. I had woke up in the Shrieking Shack, covered in blood. My head ached and my pants and shirt were ripped. I didn't know what had happened. Suddenly a freezing breeze brought me back to reality. I looked around to see where it had came from. The door was open and there stood a figure, heavily dressed with its Gryffindor-colored scarf swaying in the breeze with its long brown hair.
I squinted my eyes and said aloud to the stranger, "Who are you?" My voice blended with the hissing of the wind. The stranger stood there for a few minutes. I got up and looked at it. Its head tilted up towards my face, me being taller. It came in and closed the door behind it, as it slowly removed the hood that covered its face.
It was Leon! Her beautiful blue eyes were blurred by a river full of tears and she just lunged herself into me and surely I was surprised. But even though she was crying I understood the one word that had let me understand. "why?" Leon cried into my robes, but I didn't mind. I patted her on the back and we stood there, trapped in our own thoughts until Leon looked up at me. Her voice was shaky but she had slowly gained the will to say in a mumble. 'I sent it to Via.'
