Private Owl to Theo
Late Thursday night
[Owl]
****
I've been sent an owl from the ministry, ordering me to attend the execution of the werewolf that was convicted for those murders last full moon.
I don't want to go. But they say if I don't show up, Aurors will be sent to get me and take me, forceably, if need be.
I wish you could go with me. I know you can't, but...I wish you could. I know it sounds weak but I don't want to face this alone. I'd ask Harry, but he has enough problems without me adding mine.
I'll have to do it alone, as I have most everything in my life, but I don't like it. At least I'll have the thought of you to keep me company, and that is no small comfort.
If I am in a very bad/upset mood tomorrow, you will know why. I think I will cancel all my classes. I'd like to see you, after, sometime, probably. There's a chance I might just want to be alone. Might even just go somewhere else after, get away from the school for a while. So if I disappear for a few hours, it's just me brooding somewhere.
I'll try to let you know.
Love,
Remus
