Remus J. Lupin (messr_moony) wrote in anon_rpg,

Remus had already arrived. He'd been waiting for nearly twenty minutes, but had arrived early on purpose so that he could observe and scan the area properly in silence and without interruption. He'd been trying to formulate a way for this to go as quickly and smoothly as possible, but unfortunately they still didn't know exactly what they were looking for or what to do with it if and when they found it. He was trying to take things one step at a time, though. First, they had to get into the castle. Given the time of year, Remus wasn't terribly worried about students seeing them. The invisibility cloak would be nice, but he wasn't sure they could fit four shuffling adult blokes beneath it. They weren't exactly eleven anymore, though a part of him wished they were.

Hogwarts had a very special place in Remus' heart. He missed living within those castle walls more than anything. Life had been so much easier back then, even though he hadn't realized it at the time. Living there had been the greatest and most meaningful time of his life. He owed Hogwarts and Dumbledore his life. Being back made him miss his almost-carefree days as a student, helping his friends out of the ridiculous schemes they'd trapped themselves in, or just simply curling up in an alcove with a book, surrounded by all the magical wonders lurking within the castle. It made his dingy little one-room flat feel like a cave.

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of two others arriving. James and Sirius. Awkward. He felt terribly out of place with Sirius at the moment. It didn't help that the Full Moon was less than a week away. He was edgy, terribly tense, and impatient. Sirius had always been a daft git in some respects, but Remus never thought he'd be on the receiving end of his carelessness. It hurt, cut deep into his heart, but what could he do about it? He couldn't put expectations on Sirius; that wouldn't be fair, to try to make him into something he wasn't. But it still hurt more than anything in the world, and made him feel like such a fool. How could he have thought he'd be different than the others Sirius had been with? Now wasn't the time to lament about something he never had. They had a mission to fulfill and he had to keep his wits about him.

Steeling himself, he stepped out of his hiding place to greet the others. He didn't say anything, just shoved his hands into his pockets and nodded to them. Hopefully Pete would be there soon; Remus would feel better in his presence, just as he did when they were children.
