A/n: Hey! I hope you enjoy this chapter. Very sad, again, but, hey, this isn't a very happy subject…Enjoy! R/R! (The formatting on the replies to the reviews are severely messed up, I apologize.) (Also, the formatting's a bit messed up on the news story, but that can't be helped, and if I have the class of Pettigrew's Order of Merlin wrong, I apologize, I don't have my books with me, so I guessed, and I IMed my friend, but he never replied back, so...)
Nolwe the Lady Dragon: Thanks! Good! But, I think the way I portrayed her in Marauders Era made her seem like a Mary Sue to some people. I don't know, I never thought that.
Girl: Thank you. Thank you so much! I'm glad that you enjoy my story so much! Yes, I did think you mentioned that. I will continue, I promise. Thank you very much! I will. I promise. You'll get more. Slowly, but surely
Jlarinda: Lol, maybe later I'll think about making my fics NC-17, but I for one, think they're good enough now. What do you think? I could be a bit more descriptive, I know. Lol, and why would I tell you they had their first night together in this story? If you haven't read this! You're not supposed to know that yet
Chapter 6
It was the night after the full moon. Remus was utterly exhausted, and was currently lying down in his bed, resting after a hard transformation. He got up, slowly, and walked into the living room, planning on crashing out again. When he got there, he found a letter sitting there waiting for him. It didn't say much, but it basically told him everything he needed to know and that he had missed while being a werewolf.
Lily and James were dead. They had been killed last night. It was pretty late in the day, so it wouldn't be surprised that Dumbledore would already know, and being doing something about it. Rumors were going around, according to Dumbledore, but that was true. Harry had brought him down, in the end. That surprised Remus. Poor Harry… orphaned and now famous before he could walk and talk. Dumbledore said that he knew what he was going to do and he would take care of it. Remus didn't really know what to think, but he trusted Dumbledore. He also said that if he ever needed anything, to simply owl him.
Remus set down the letter, and crumpled it, and he felt tears stream down his face. James and Lily… Gone… and Harry… an orphan… He didn't even think about who had done this to them, or how Voldemort had found them, it didn't matter. All that mattered was that they were gone, dead; he'd never see them again, and poor Harry would never remember them. Such a tragedy. Harry didn't deserve this. Now, he'd be famous for something he wouldn't even remember.
What was Dumbledore planning to do? Who would Harry stay with? Maybe if Remus had been thinking straight and so grief stricken by the death of his friends, he may have come up with something. But, being so grief stricken, Remus couldn't even by happy about Voldemort's demise. All he could think about was that James and Lily were gone, and they were never coming back. They had been two of the few people that had accepted him being a werewolf, and that was more than Remus could ever ask for, really. Now, they were gone. Remus just lay on the couch, dwelling in his thoughts and sobbing, and he drifted to sleep, still very tired from the full moon.
The next day Remus was woke up by a knock on the door. "Yeah, yeah," He said, "I'm coming, I'm coming." He was a little tired and worn out because of the news of James and Lily's death and the fact that it was soon after the full moon. When he answered the door, and upset and ragged looking Sirius was there. "Sirius?"
"Look, Remus, I want you to know something." Sirius said. "No matter what happens, I still love you. No matter what, you hear me? I will always love you." Remus just stared at him, not really understanding what he was talking about. Sirius embraced Remus and gave him one of the most passionate kisses he had ever gotten. Sirius said, "I love you," and then left.
In shock, Remus walks back over to the couch and lies down. He sits there and thinks for a while, and then drifts off to sleep again. But when he wakes up, he would get the shock of his life.
Remus woke up later that night after the sun had gone down. When he awoke, the Evening Prophet was sitting there, and there was a blazing headline across the front page. Curious, Remus grabbed the paper and froze in shock at the headline he read:
Sirius Black Arrested
Unable to turn away, he read the article word for word:
Earlier today, a young man named Sirius Black was arrested for murdering 13 people with a single curse.
Cornered by the only wizard among them, another young man named Peter Pettigrew, who accused Black of being in league with You-Know-Who and giving up James and Lily Potter to them who were murdered by You-Know-Who only 2 nights ago, Black went mad with rage and murdered Pettigrew, and 12 muggles who happened to be in the vicinity.
The proper authorities were dispatched immediately and memories were erased, and try to fix what they could of the situation. But, there was nothing that could be done.
The Ministry of Magic was looking for Black already after the Potters' death, as Black was the league suspect for giving them up to the late You-Know-Who, but were too late. Pettigrew and the others were already dead when the Ministry officials arrived.
Peter Pettigrew was giving the Order of Merlin, a high honor, 3rd class, by the Ministry for his services today. Although that was of no relief to this grief-stricken mother. "Peter was a good boy," she told this Daily Prophet report, sobbing over the death of her son. "He was never a real smart boy or anything, but he surely didn't deserve this fate."
Sirius Black was sentenced to life in Azkaban, and will be taken there later on this evening, where he will spend the rest of his life. "He deserves what he got," said a Ministry Official. "This is a terribly tragedy to darken the glorious defeat of You-Know-Who that happened just recently. However, Black will be put away where he will stay, and he won't harm anyone else again."
After the defeat of You-Know-Who by Harry Potter, the son of Lily and James Potter, who were murdered just recently, this is a tragedy. However, with Black put in Azkaban, we can rest assured that this criminal has been brought to justice.
After reading the article, Remus did the only thing he knew to do at the moment: He burst into tears.
