The muggle library had not been a complete disappointment. Remus had found information on Koschei the Deathless there, but in the Slavic folktale, simply breaking the needle in which Koschei kept his soul would likewise kill Koschei. By that account, they should simply smash the horcrux. They hadn't tried that, though. Perhaps it would work.
Still, the idea was rather simplistic, and Remus doubted that Voldemort would use something so fragile as a container in which to hide his soul. Furthermore, Sirius had wondered if Voldemort could have made more than one such horcrux. Remus needed to know more about this business of making a horcrux.
He chose a wizarding library known for having Darker texts than most, Arbane the the Awful's Library of Mysticism. It was quite a walk, and Remus didn't trust Apparition, so he transfigured a metal cafe chair into a bicycle and wheeled his way across the city. The invisibility cloak was tucked under into his jacket. About two blocks from the library, he dismounted and climbed under the cloak.
As expected, Remus had to break into the library, but he chose a small back door well hidden by shrubbery. The charms on it weren't strong as the library had very little in the way of valuables, and Remus was inside in a moment. Once inside, Remus tucked the cloak away once again, sure that he would not be bothered. He lit his wand and went to the card catalog, flipping through the subject index by H's.
