Chapter 3: The final push…
Blinking the skeletal form looked around the kitchen. How had he managed to make it here? He didn't even remember going down the stairs. Had he gone down the stairs? Blank eyes glanced down at himself and Remus blinked again no he looked fine he must have gone down the stairs or that elf had brought him down some how.
"Remus?" a voice queried causing the wolfman to do nothing other then slowly lift his head to find the source of that voice. It was easy for him to spot it's owner as Albus was the only person in the room who would actually question him on anything. He didn't bother to reply, why should he? It was Albus's fault he was still here it was Albus's fault he had lost his mate at all. If the old man had just believed him when he said that his mate would never do anything to harm James or Lilly then that rat would never have been able to get to him.
Albus how ever always had his own mind on everything and would not hear a word from him. Instead he sent Harry off to those Muggles when he should have been the one to care for the boy as he and his mate had been his Godparents. Then after such a thing he allowed Aurors to continue after his Sirius and by doing so allowed that rat to be able to kill him. If he had found his other half only a second sooner he could have saved the other, but he didn't. Instead he had found something eh had never wanted to see.
He took in a deep breath of the air searching for the one he knew was near. He had to find Sirius before the Aurors or anyone else did they would not be kind and would not listen to what his mate had to say. He knew that the other was innocent of the crime he had been accused of he had been there when the spell had been preformed, the one that had hid one of the most feared enemies of Voldemort and a member of the Marauders. It had been that rat that had been cast in the role of keeper of the secrete and it had been the rat that had told the dark lord of James and Lily's location.
He continued onwards his nose to the grounds and the wind both looking for any sign and just hoping that he would not be to late. Then he found it. What he had been searching for some sign of his mate, but all was not right. He caught wind of the canine animagius but he also caught a tang that meant there was blood in the air, and that there was enough that he could taste it. His tongue flicked out again wetting his nose and helping to keep out anything that may interfere with him finding the scents he was after.
His ears flicked forwards as he caught a feint "Penitus Cruentus". He would know that voice anywhere and it would be the cause of the blood he could taste. His mate would not have been expecting the rat as he had not known about his betrayal, but he did so the wolf followed the scent. He burst into the clearing causing Peter to turn and look at him "Hello halfbreed come to try and save your mutt?"
"…halfbreed couldn't save his mutt" Serves mumbled ina tone he thought to low for even a werewolf's hearing to catch. Especially one as diminished as Remus was.
Remus did hear though, and it was too much. He had endured it to long. For too long had he let them make him stay. For too long had he endured Snape's comments about his dead mate. This had been the final straw his near repeating of Peter's phrase to him just as it came up in his memory was just to much. He couldn't do this anymore. He was not going to stand by and allow people to talk so about his mate and he was not going to allowed Albus to force him to stay any longer.
