My name is Remus Lupin

[alt_lupin]

I am a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

Today, after sending an army of Inferi against the muggles and muggleborns who'd been sheltering in Sherwood Forest, a group of Death Eaters lined up every man, woman, and child who lived in the village of Ollerton, arranged them artfully into tableaux, then murdered them in cold blood. I saw it happen, but was powerless to intervene.

This was done on the Lord Protector's orders, on the specious grounds that if they were close to Sherwood, they were doubtless in league with the outlaws.

This could have happened to any one of you. To your families. People you love. No one is safe from 'Our Lord.'

NO ONE.

I've been brewing potions.

Which is really not one of my talents, if you've ever wondered.

Er, all right. I seem to remember you asking us to shoot you with a silver bullet if you ever had a job where you had to brew regularly.

It's not the sort of potion that's spiked with Old Ogden's and has a dollop of whipping cream on the top, is it? Because I could use that sort of potion, quite honestly.

Yeah, fortunately this is more 'exceptional circumstances' rather than 'regularly.'

But yes, that is exactly the sort of potion I'm in the mood for, although I'm not supposed to mix it with wolfsbane and despite everything, Hermione turned up with a steaming fresh mug of the stuff about five minutes ago.

I'd actually thought earlier, 'well, of all the months to miss my dose, this is definitely the one I'd pick,' you know?

But there she was with it, so. I couldn't very well say 'no thank you, decided to go without this month,' not at that point.

You're a gentleman and a scholar.

Anyway. I'm waiting for dark to head back, but it should only be...oh, three or four hours after that. I'll want one of those potions, if only to unfreeze my hands and feet after flying that long in this miserable weather.

Oh, and we'll have Peter to entertain us! I've been looking forward to this reunion.

I'd been thinking I could apparate to you. But they really are shorthanded enough to want me making potions, and Peter can wait.

So back to Peter. He's still in the cage? So still a rat.

I just

I want to hear him say it. Those things he said to Harry. I want him to admit to us what he did. Even though I know it won't change anything.
