WHO: Remus Lupin and Sirius Black WHAT: Sirius has returned. Remus goes to Sirius's flat. Things... progress. WHEN: December 18, 1988; evening WHERE: Sirius's flat. RATING/STATUS: G. Because there won't be any language. *pause* and if you believe that, I have some swampland in Florida I'm selling off. / Incomplete.
So Sirius was back -- and Remus knew he had to go see him. It wasn't exactly a conversation he was looking forward to having, but it was also something he knew he needed to do. Hopefully this time, Sirius wouldn't shut the door in his face.
But then again, knowing what was happening, Remus had a feeling Sirius wouldn't be shutting him out of his life at the present time. Not when the last time Remus was left to his own devices he wound up getting a 'present' from Bellatrix. Remus knew (or at least, he hoped!) that finger that was sent to him did not belong to Dora. He knew the value of Andy and Dora and also knew that Bella wouldn't do anything to jeopardize her position. In this case, the two were definitely worth more alive and whole than dead and in pieces.
Looking at the door to Sirius's flat, Remus raised his hand and hesitated.
What more could Sirius do?
With a deep breath, Remus raised his hand once more, pulled back, and knocked.
