Pensieve

Remus Lupin stands atop a cliff, contemplating everything that's going on. The war had torn apart families and friends. He could not admit that he had a lost a LOT of friends as there were not many who were at least polite to him besides the marauders. He had an ominous feeling that had been growing in the pit of his stomach for the past few days.

He dared not go to the Order for he knew what they were thinking - there was a spy, and it was easy to point the fingers at him due to his absence at Order meetings, and because apparently his kind had a lot to gain if You Know Who's side won. He despised the Order meetings because they treated him like vermin, but he probably deserved it, for the monster that he was. He could not push away meeting with the marauders any longer. They were in the midst of planning Sirius's birthday.

He assured himself weakly, knowing that Sirius was the secret keeper, and he would rather die than betray James and Lily.
