[Video] --> private to Sirius | about to? :-)lumenrelegandusJuly 1 2011, 05:46:50 UTC
God of Merlyn, Sirius, you're supposed to assume I'm being hyperbolically gloomy…
[Can't try. Never wanted to lie-and never could withhold anything from Sirius.
1976. Sixth year. First full year of the animagi. Sirius disowned, living with Potters. Lily and James Head Girl and Boy. Snape hates us all utterly and empirically-and apparently irrevocably. What will be next… what happened next…]
We knew the war was real. We knew we wanted to join up. We didn't know it would be only the first of two. We didn't know…
[Stops, closes his eyes, and shakes his head.
Could never withhold anything deliberately. Not sure right now he can help it.
Says suddenly,]
I got married and had a child. Then I got killed and woke up in Anatole. Death isn't permanent here but there's a price. I can't remember my son. Only the fact of him. Not… the reality of him.
Say… his mother came to Anatole too. But from earlier in her timeline. From before she had him.
Can you imagine… the horror of… he wouldn't exist to her.How can I tell you of a future, of
( ... )

[Takes him a moment to digest this information. It felt as if he got hit with a bludger. He tried to process this info and form a coherent response. But of course, the first words to come out were--]
You were married, Moony? You ol' dog. [Never thought Remus would ever settle down...he was always so preoccupied with his 'condition'. Now his expression switched to a serious one.]
Moony...
[He really didn't know what to say. It seemed their future was set. They were all going to die. He couldn't use his carefree attitude to try and ease the pain. Remus already knew what was going to happen...he had lived it. And he was still the same sixteen year old kid that thought nothing could get in his way.]
[Video] --> private to Sirius | poor poor Sirius. I want the Marauder-centric/POV book NOW!lumenrelegandusJuly 3 2011, 05:19:47 UTC
[a lopsided, torn-lipped smile.]
No: you ol' dog; me old wolf…
[as fast as that had all poured out of him-only and always to Sirius, whatever age-also doesn't hide how much he regrets it now and wishes it were possible to backtrack. Not possible, of course.]

[a single guffaw. Even when Sirius and Remus were the same age, Remus was always older. Far timider, eager to follow than lead, but older. Rickety, stodgy, and wise. (partners in law)]
There's a local brew that may suffice. First pitcher's on me at the Foxhole. Have you found the map function yet? Or shall I let you conjure your own?

If you really want to know, I'll tell you. Just do me a favour… take a moment before answering.

[…he could equally mean "well, duh, unspecified mortality"]
Fifty seconds to think before I say another word. I'm timing.

[He is in COMPLETE shock]

We should find each other. In person. Agree?

Agreed. [pause] Tell me this place has firewhiskey. I think I'm going to need it.

Only thing to brighten my day is if ol' Snivellus was here. Then I could have some fun.
