Re: Regulus/Remus
"This won't burn through your system," he said, gravely. "We're not sure what kind of poison it is, but nothing we have at our disposal seems to be working. You aren't the only one affected and it seems to work at different speeds depending on how deep the wound is, but unless we find an antidote, everyone who is infected will die."
He nodded. "Tired, but fine. We're looking into what these birds are. We have even posted in those journals to see if anyone around the world might know them, but we haven't heard anything. Either they are ignoring us or they truly have no idea what they are."
He hesitated for a moment, but he wasn't one to sugarcoat the situation. "You, Lucius, Theo, Severus, Albus and Peter are all infected. Peter and Theo had more superficial wounds and are doing better, but- We're all trying to research magical creatures to figure out what they are. Harry has trapped a few birds alive to see if that helps us. We have a few dead ones that we're studying. The rest have been thrown in the pit with the troll. He enjoyed the meal," he said, trying to go for humour but failing. He squeezed Remus' hand. "I'll find the cure. I won't rest until I do and then I will hex you for being so stupid. I hope you know that."
