DISTINCTIO DEVOVEO: PROLOGUE: LUPIN NOW
"Goodbye…Moony." As the words left his lips they felt strange. As if, finally a stage in his life was over.
A shadow of a smile flickered over Remus's face as he said it, he and Moony had been through good times together, but he was no longer the child he once was and as he stepped into the carriage supplied to him he imagined he saw a young boy, overly thin, averagely tall with light brown hair and slightly ambered eyes, wink at him 'Goodbye Remus' he mouthed with a mischievous grin. Then in a blink of an eye the vision was gone, as was moony.
Remus was sad to leave the school it was true. He had enjoyed that year of teaching Harry and his class; it had been like being at school again. But now it was over and care wore heavily on his heart, the complaints would soon be flooding in.
Ex professor Remus J Lupin actually had no idea where he was going. Courtesy of professor Dumbledore he had the carriage and it's pair of thestrals at his disposal for as long as he needed them, but the fact was that he really didn't know where he wanted to go. His first idea had been to try and hunt down Sirius but then he realised he could be followed and also he'd never find him. His second idea had been to go to Nottingham, to his parents but then he realised he probably wouldn't be welcomed there. His third idea was the one, in the end he stuck with. He would go home to his small rented house in Hogsmede. He should at least be able to stop by and gather his thoughts there. So he directed the thestrals and the carriage jerked forwards and away from Hogwarts. That chapter in his life had ended.
It was time for Remus to grow up at last. He was Moony no longer. Lupin now.
