Remus Lupin's Perspective

Remus heard his name being called over the Hogwarts intercom. He frowned in curiosity as he made his way to Dumbledore's office. He walked towards the gargoyle, which instantly jumped aside for him walk towards the moving staircase.

The wrought iron fence was already open when Remus reached Dumbledore's office, "Dumbledore?" he called.

"In here, Remus" Albus called as he walked in his office, carrying a piece of parchment that he tapped with his wand and sent it somewhere.

"Remus, would you care to take a seat please" Albus didn't ask, it was more of a command incognito.

Remus took a seat, a bewildered expression on his face, "What's wrong?"

"Remus I have something to tell you about James Potter" Albus replied softly as he took a seat at his desk, "Remus, I offered a proposition for James during early morning classes. I asked him to go on a six month sabbatical for me. During this sabbatical, he would be traveling on his own to do some dangerous jobs. Remus, James decided to take my offer and he's left about an hour ago."

The long, hard stare that came from Remus was a collection of emotions that ranged from hurt, anger to understanding.

"Dumbledore, didn't he have enough time to say goodbye?" Remus growled.

Dumbledore sighed again, "He told me that he couldn't bare to say goodbye because he knew that if he did, he wouldn't be able to leave."
Remus nodded, though all the muscles in his body were stiff and coiled, he could feel the monster inside of him howling to be released, "You said he would be gone for six months?"

Albus nodded, "He will be back at the end of the sixth month. Remus, he's going to need your help. I know you have the understanding required for this."

The sighed that escaped from Remus was the sign that he gave in, he nodded, "You're right."

"Remus, I've saved Lily and Sirius for last…please don't go telling them for me. I don't want them to get the wrong idea."

"I understand" Remus sighed and stood and without a goodbye, exited from Albus' office and went to the library to drown in this thoughts.
