chapter eighteen: moony, wormtail, padfoot, and prongs

[Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs] - Remus

He wonders what would happen if he spoke with them through the Map, whispering secrets and watching the ghostly words appear. Words from versions of themselves, imprisoned in parchment. Alone in the early morning hours he knows, bitterly, that it's only magic.

He knows all of this, and yet he thinks on what to say. There are too many words and yet too few for this house divided. Sometimes he dreams he'd just ask Padfoot, why?

It has only been nine years. Two dead, one shell locked away, and one Dark creature who does not want to know the answer.

Oh, Jaci. *sigh* I was actually thinking just today I wanted to read some Remus fic set during this time... when he still thought Sirius was guilty. So many years of it... gah. This drabble is so beautiful and so... ack. I don't even have a word. But it is my favorite of all the ones you've posted for this challenge so far. I keep reading it over and over.
