Prologue

Of Trouble and Odd Wet Spots

Remus had had a very normal day. In fact it had been a normal week. To go further, it had been exactly six months of mediocre bliss.

The days and nights continued in a steady procession of the same, normal schedule. For Remus, normal was good. It was stable and had no over-bearing clouds of unrest to loom over the heads of happy couples. Little surprises led to trouble and odd wet spots on the carpet. And the only thing Remus hated more than odd wet spots was trouble... trouble and conflict.

And surprises of an unexpected nature, though Remus was hard-pressed to define them any other way since the very nature of the 'surprise' was... unpredictable.

Had Remus been as clairvoyant as his former staff-mate, Sybill Trelawney, he would have sensed an almost insurmountable foreboding about the months to come, for they were going to be filled with much trouble and many odd wets spots indeed.
