When I arrived, the house was…gone! There were other Aurors milling around.
“Ah, Shacklebolt! What’s the news?” Dumbledore turned, cocking his shoulder toward the devastation. I looked over it and saw a cloaked figure and what looked like a wolf on two legs sliding into the gloom.
“We’re waiting for the magical fall-out to lessen.” I turned and saw the same two figures now huddled, creeping away and then fading from view. I recognized Snape and saw the white blanket clutched to his chest.
I tested the magic; it was clear enough. I knew Snape’s magic as well as Dumbledore.
“I have to help!”
“No, Sirius. We know where Harry is. He’s safe.” Kingsley thought back to when Snape and Lupin appeared at his door, Harry swaddled, clean and asleep. While Lupin sat, numb but protective, Snape was on guard, wand at the ready and vitriol dripping from every word as he berated the Ministry and the Aurors.
Kingsley saw Snape’s free hand clutch Lupin’s shoulder, in comfort or for support, it was too hard to tell. Lupin’s press of cheek to hand… He felt no remorse at sending Harry with them; let Dumbledore try to pry the lad away.
