Characters: Remus Lupin
Requested: Post-apocalyptic feel with either Remus or Severus and angst. (May I say, right up my alley. :D)
Warnings: Morbidity and post-apocalypticness. Lots of people died. It's sad.
Notes: Hopefully this is something you like. :-)
Remus Lupin couldn't believe that it was over. All of their fighting had culminated in one single sort of explosion, a burst of power - looking back, he wasn't sure why he'd been so surprised. That much magical energy in one place, the only thing it could do was destroy.
Most of them had died, and the ones who lived had to pick up the pieces and move on. It was damn near impossible, of course. That autumn Remus found himself back at Hogwarts; there was a new Potions Master, who was a great deal more likeable than Severus, but Remus didn't like him much at all. He missed the pushiness, silver tongued snark of the old one. The man who'd died.
And Remus was left alone again, pondering this all in a only half-full (or was it half-empty?) Great Hall over his pumpkin juice on Halloween. The full moon was only a week off, he could feel it pulling at his bones like the tides.
He sighed, and looked over at Severus' old place at the staff table, his spot taken by someone new. And once more, Remus Lupin was left to survive when he'd rather not have.
