Remus didn't know what to think about waking up in a bed that wasn't his. Perhaps if it had been a couple years ago, he would have immediately blamed the marauders, but they were all gone and even that brief thought about them brought up a pang of loss. With Voldemort dead -- or disappeared at least -- it didn't make sense that he'd been taken by the Death Eaters, either. The moon wasn't until next week and he hadn't been drinking the night before.
Truly, he was at a loss. Luckily, there was a helpful note which seemed to bring up almost as many questions as it answered. There was also unfamiliar (and annoying) music playing in the background which he did his best to ignore for the moment. The one comfort so far was that he had his wand.
It took him a few moments to figure out the little Muggle device he had been supplied with, but when he did, reading through the network was ... unbelievable. He saw Lily's picture first. His breath caught and he could almost hear her voice in the worlds that were written. He scrolled down, ignoring unfamiliar faces until he read the Dementor patrol schedule and furrowed his brow. Not only was his own name there, but James, Sirius, Harry Potter? He set it down on the bed before standing up, gazing down at it warily.
He was inclined to think this was a very elaborate and cruel joke, and he did his best not to hope that somehow Lily and James were here, and alive. Kidnapped, apparently, but ... no, he shouldn't even entertain those thoughts. Leaving the device on the bed, he let himself out of the room and exhaled a sigh as he looked left and then right. As he tried to decide what he was doing, he spotted a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye and turned towards her.
"Lily?" He called uncertainly, raising his voice enough that it would hopefully carry over the music. Starting towards her, he studied her as intently as he could given the distance between them, searching for some sign that he was hallucinating.
