Arianna & Remus
WHO: Remus Lupin & Arianna Dumbledore
WHAT: Remus brings bad news.
WHERE: Infirmary part of the community centre
WHEN: DAY FOUR of monster plot (so slightly backdated)
RATING: PG (may be triggery for those who lost loved ones)
No one needed to ask Remus to take part in defeating the assault on the town. When people were in danger, Remus showed up, no questions asked. Yes, he recalled how the Battle of Hogwarts ended for him, but he didn't care. If he died, at least he'd take out a monster or two. He did better than that though; he held his own for hours and finally managed some respite when they retreated. Still, there was no call for celebration, not with the lives lost. Everyone knew the danger still lurked too. Another calm before a storm.
He knew he needed to sleep if only for an hour if he was going to be of any use when the monsters undoubtedly returned. He also wanted to check on all his loved ones residing at the centre. Unfortunately, as he walked away from the castle, he noticed a body, a body he most certainly didn't want to see. He closed his eyes, sent a silent prayer to his parents, and knelt next to the fallen man. He reached out and brushed his hand over the face so that Aberforth's eyes closed. Remus hoped the body could remain long enough in the event Arianna wished to see him. He had seen others perish into thin air.
He may have been accustomed to death, but it was never easy. He heaved a deep sigh, stood, and turned back on his way to the centre, but now with a new purpose. Find Arianna.
"Arianna?" He asked a few people as he passed. "Is she still with the injured?" He glanced toward the area and quickened his pace. "Sweetheart," he said gently as he approached. "How are you feeling?"
