after hogwarts

.

Anger rushed through him as he chased Peter Pettigrew.

Sirius has cornered him into a dead end of a street. Muggles surrounded the two wizards as Sirius drew his wand and pointed it at the man.

The man who he and James had taken under their wing, becoming friends and protecting him from bullies. They had taught him the way of pranking and Remus had helped him with homework and essays.

The man who had laughed as the four Marauders ran through the corridor after dying Snape's hair hot pink.

The same man who had sneaked helped stop the Whomping Willow so they could all sneak into the shrieking shack to help Remus.

And after everything, that man had turned them into Voldemort and played apart in the murder of his best friend, his wife, and the attempted murder of the two's son.

Before he could throw a hex, a flash of green exploded the street, blasting Sirius back onto the cold, hard concrete.

Despite his bloody knees and elbows, he jumped back up only to see the bodies of 13 muggles. Sirius gasped and scanned the area for Peter.

When the Aurors found the black haired man, the image they were met with would forever haunt their sleep.

Sirius Black stood in the middle of the street, the sound of manic laughing mixed with the eerie cawing of nineteen crows nearby. Blood oozed from the bodies scarred among the street and only the finger of Peter remained in the spot that the man once was.

Remus was called by a ministry official the next day, and what he heard made him sob.

He knew Lily and James had died. It was only a few hours after it happened that it was all over the news and he had received a phone call about it.

It seemed as if the second he stopped crying, he got another phone call.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lupin-Black?"

"Yes, this is him," Remus replied nervously.

"I give my condolences about Mrs. and Mr. Potter, but I would like you to remain calm."

"About what? Is Harry alright?"

"We are very sorry to say that your husband, Sirius Black-Lupin, was to blame for said deaths along with the deaths of a wizard named Peter Pettigrew and 13 muggles. He has been sentenced to Azkaban with a life sentence. Although I don't think you would want to, you are free to book an appointment to see him."

"No! No- no I'm good."

"Again, I give you my best wishes. If you need any help, feel free to reach out to anybody from the health department and we can set you up with one of our top therapists."

"Maybe later, but I'm good now."

With that, the Ministry official said goodbye and hung up.

Remus realized quickly that he was certainly not good

With all the anxiousness and stress that Sirius seemed to have about the whole prophecy situation, Remus had never imagined Sirius would do anything like this.

But now all of his friends were dead and his husband was in jail for causing it.

Remus loved him, and no matter what happened, that would never change.

Now death had taken everything away from him, ans justice had been done to the murderer, even though somewhere deep inside him wished that the murdered had gotten away with it.

But Remus could never love him again, and no matter what, he couldn't let that change.
