"What are you doing here? You should be hiding from the Ministry." He looked livid but I was too drained to retaliate.  

"I work here now in case you hadn't noticed. Dumbledore approved so I see no problem in me teaching." I didn't like to see Lupin mad and he was too much of a naturally cheerful person to be angry. "I'm sorry Robyn but you must understand that I'm worried for the wellbeing of the students, you killed eighteen people out of no-where and how do you know it won't happen again?" 

"I didn't kill those people!" I shouted and felt immediately guilty at yelling at the person I could- at this moment rely on most. He looked down at me sorrow filling his face. "Then tell me the truth." I looked down at my shaking hands as I began.  

"I'd gone into hiding and while I was in London he found me." I could feel hot tears streaming down my face, tears of rage. "While I was walking back to my hiding place one night after I’d eaten, he found me and commanded that I come with him, I said no, he threatened to ..." He cut me off.  

"He who dear?" I hadn't wanted to say his name again but he left me with no choice.  

"Voldemort. He was the one that killed all those muggles, I was dazed from the blast when the Ministry found me, their aurors identified me and I was locked away, that was when I met..." I stopped; I didn't want to tell Remus about Sirius Black, I was worried that he would think me insane, and think that I was putting myself in danger. He lifted my face and whispered. "Sirius." The look of surprise must have showed on my face because he smiled. "I know about you and Sirius, I have for a while now." That was surprising, my face showed it too.

"How did you find out?" I inquired.

"Alastor Moody told me. Didn’t you know that he knew?" He still smiled down at me and the tears had stopped falling.  

"No I didn't know, I didn’t think he had figured that out, at least he hadn’t when I last saw him. And how do you know Sirius Black anyway?" 

"He and I were best friends in school but after everything that’s happened…" I was sure that Sirius still thought himself Remus’ friend, but for some reason I couldn’t tell him that and I doubted very much that Remus would believe my word that Sirius was innocent. "Do you think you’ll be alright to go back inside now?" The werewolf was shivering and I realised that I was too.  

"Yeah, I'll be fine." He accompanied me back into the school.
