Unforgivable

James Potter cursed Sirius Black forever after the death of Severus Snape.

No one knew exactly what had happened, of course. They only knew that Sirius had led him to Remus and that Remus Lupin had returned to the castle, sobbing, with blood on his lips.

The authorities never found a body. They never knew what had happened to it. Perhaps Remus had dragged it into the hills after the chase. All anyone seemed to know was that horrors had taken place after sixteen-year- old Snape had broken down the front door.if indeed it had been he who had done so.

Severus' mother never pressed charges against Remus. She thought that insanity was enough of a price to pay for the death of her son.

A week after Remus Lupin was admitted to St. Mungo's, he vanished without a trace.
