Who: Remus Lupin, James Potter, Sirius Black What: Rescue mission! When: August 6, 1977 (same time as this) Where:a rural spot in the Ukrainian SSR Antonin Dolohov's Warnings: TBD Status: In progress
The first thing that Remus heard which seemed to be out of the ordinary was a hoot from an owl. It was definitely an owl and it had to be nearby, not just dropping a letter on the doorstep - wherever that was. It could have been above him, inside the house, yet it sounded like it was closer to the wall that he deemed the outside wall. From slivers through the basement door, he could see in which direction the house extended and it helped to think of how it might be laid out. Really, it was a sound he just hadn't heard in awhile and that reminded him of the things that existed beyond these walls, not that he didn't think about them almost every minute.
Maybe he was given books for entertainment, along with decent conversations with the man holding him, and food to keep him more than full, but even all of that wasn't enough. He may have kept himself sane thus far but he figured enough time locked away from everything he knew and liked would change that.
The next thing he heard was a muffled shout and an explosion that made him duck into the corner; he could feel the vibrations and knew something had gone wrong. Or maybe right. As he moved, the cuff around his ankle started to burn again and he hissed, waiting for further signs.
