For the next couple of days, Remus had tried everything. But, with all he'd tried, Padfoot had not been forthcoming with any effort to bring Sirius back.
Remus knew he was being selfish and he felt bad about it. But, sadly, when he looked past all else, deep into his heart, the bottom line was that he wanted Sirius back more than Padfoot.
The guilt ate away at him every time he begged the dog. He knew dogs were supposed to be selfless but it still hurt him. This was Padfoot, not just some dog. This dog was a part of Sirius, and he felt as though he were hurting him along with the innocent dog.
Still, he had spent over three days begging and pleading with Padfoot, desperately telling him what it would mean to him to have his Sirius back. Still nothing. Now he was on the verge of tears. He dropped to his knees in front of the dog sitting on the floor.
"Please. Please, please, Padfoot, I…I need him…" His words broke away into strangled sobs as he clung onto the shaggy ruff of the dog's neck and his tears fell into the carpet.
He knew he never should've let himself hope again.
Padfoot whimpered at him and tried to lick his face. But then Remus's control broke and he leapt at the dog with a roar. All his frustration and desperation exploded in that one lunge and he screamed at Padfoot.
"You! You stupid--! This is all your fault!"
When the dog dodged another grab from Remus, he picked up the nearest object and hurled it at him.
"Aaarg! I hate you!" he sobbed, "you know how much this means to me….."
Padfoot gazed at him from across the room with pleading eyes, as if begging him to understand something. But Remus was beyond the point of listening. He leapt for the dog once more and caught him. With one more roar of despair, he opened his front door and threw Padfoot out into the night.
The dog turned around and whimpered again, staring at Remus, but the distraught man slammed the door in his face.
Remus ran upstairs and threw himself onto his bed.
Their bed, he thought with a shudder.
He buried his face in the pillow to muffle his sobs from the listening ears of no one.
Already he felt sorry for what he'd done. Padfoot hadn't deserved that.
No, he's deliberately keeping Sirius from me!
As Remus tried to make excuses for his horrible behavior, he could hear a lonely dog howl from outside his window.
"Mmmoooooooooooonnii—mo—mooo—Mmmooooonnieeeeeeee!"
His sobs came even harder when he realized Padfoot was calling his name—a name that Sirius had given him all those years ago.
