Chapter Eight, Plans and Heartache
-Moony's Cottage, The New Forest, Britain, September 1st 1991 –
Self-hatred was Remus Lupin's constant companion as of late and he had no one to blame but himself. For nearly a decade, just shortly after James and Lily had died and Sirius had cut him off from him and his cub Persephone (not that he would ever blame Sirius for that), he had cut himself from Dumbledore and had avoided him and all those loyal to the old man like they were Inferius. No doubt much to the man's ire but Remus didn't care anymore!
Because of him and himself he had lost all of his pack, possibly for good as all of his letters to Sirius begging for forgiveness had returned unopened which could only mean one of two things: one, Sirius hadn't even bothered to open the letters from him which stun like hell, but he could understand why, but no less caused Moony to rip into him each and every Full Moon; second, he and Persephone were behind some serious wards on a Black property and the owl couldn't enter.
Both were extremely likely and made Remus wonder where they were as he knew they weren't in Britain given the Evening Edition of The Daily Prophet that he had received half an hour ago which wondered where Sirius had taken her, producing some ridiculous theories which Remus could now see that Dumbledore was behind, as she hadn't attended Hogwarts. Which she wasn't forced to attend as parents were well within their rights to allow their children to attend a different school, especially if they didn't live within the British Isles. For the past ten years everyone had been trying to find out where they had gone and it disgusted Remus, it was all because she survived that dreaded curse.
He knew she was the only one to do so but he knew his friends; they would have gone to the ends of the earth to find a way for their daughter to survive in the event that they were betrayed by Peter and HE found them, even if they were killed in the process. It was the catalyst that caused him to separate from Dumbledore (beforehand he had been questioning everything as the old man had tried to convince him that Sirius wasn't safe for him to be around nor for his cub to be around, no doubt trying to enlist his help to find them which he failed at). He had been disgusted that Dumbledore had been convincing everyone that Persephone was the Girl Who Lived.
