Chapter 4: Unsatisfactory
Remus emerged from the trees and hurried up the back steps. He packed quickly and reemerged only moments after he’d entered. As he stepped onto the porch a silver buck raced up to him. Its mouth opened and Harry’s voice issued forth.
“Remus, I‘ve had the samples you sent with kreacher analyzed. Please come by the office as soon as you can. I‘ll be waiting for you there. The back way is clear.”
Remus listened intently as the buck spoke, when it finished it dissolved and Remus jumped into action. Slinging the bag over his shoulder, he walked to the end of his front walk and with a “CRACK” Disapporated.
Appearing at the end of a dusty alleyway in the heart of London, Remus turned and hurried to the Visitors Entrance of the Ministry of Magic. Stating his business he impatiently waited for the lift to lower. Once it did he practically flew off if and ran down a side corridor immediately adjacent to the lift. He took the stairs up three at a time, reaching the landing and hurrying through the door.
He reached Harry’s partially open door and paused to catch his breath, once he had, he knocked lightly and pushed the door open.
“Harry?” Remus asked.
“Remus, I didn‘t expect you so soon. Please come in.” Harry responded glancing up from his desk.
Remus entered and closing the door behind him took a step and folded into the nearest chair. Harry’s office was the same. It looked much like Kingsley’s had, parchment piled neatly in stacks on nearly every available surface, a bookshelf that sagged under too many heavy volumes and an enchanted window with the curtain drawn. Harry’s desk was bare except for a few photographs and several pieces of loose parchment.
“Its good to see you Remus, but you look dreadful. What‘s happened? Can I get you anything? A spot of tea? Or maybe a Calming Draft? You look rather like you need one.” Harry enquired.
“Tea, yes, please.” Remus replied. He took a deep breath then continued, “Harry, something‘s happened. I don‘t know what‘s going on. People are dead or missing o both and think, I think I hurt them. I smelled myself at the crime scenes. Something is very wrong here Harry.”
Rising Harry went to the sideboard and pulled out two cups and a steaming pot of tea. He poured and set one in front of Remus. Taking his cup, he resumed his seat and turned his full attention back to Remus.
“We‘ll get to the bottom of this Remus. Have some tea and take a few deep breathes, everything will be worked out. I have the results you asked for. They are only going to raise more questions though I believe.”
“Why?”
“They don‘t show anything abnormal. Everything I had tested is normal. No signs of any drugs, poisons, additives, potions or magic of any kind were found in anything. If I didn‘t know you, I would say you were just wasting the departments time and resources, but since I do, what‘s the matter?”
Remus sighed and rising began to pace. “I don‘t know Harry. I woke this morning and couldn’t remember anything. I was covered in blood and dazed, confused and not hungry at all. I don‘t remember a thing after I transformed and even that‘s hazy. I was out for 4 days. I don‘t remember doming back after the Moon set the first night or any other. There was something about my appearance right after I transformed, but I don‘t clearly remember what it was. I have this impression of darkness, maybe smoke and then nothing till I woke up.”
“Danny Flairity is dead and Laura Riley is missing. I smelled myself at both scenes, there was blood at both scenes, I was covered in dried blood when I woke up. I don‘t know Harry, I just don‘t know and I‘m terrified that I killed them.”
Harry rose and taking Remus by the arm steered him back into the chair.
“We‘ll get to the bottom of this Remus, I promise. Jonas is the Auror assigned to your village, I’ll have a talk with his section supervisor and get an update. Wait here.” Harry said as he exited the office.
Remus sat and absently drank his tea. His mind was whirling with thoughts of those he’d hurt. Regardless of what Harry found out, he’d done something, he was sure of it. It bothered him immensely that nothing was found to be amiss with the food or the vile. It had to be something he’d eaten or drunk. He couldn’t just go off like that, that wasn’t like him. He hadn’t lost control that badly since he was a child.
Remus was so lost in thought that he started violently when Harry spoke from behind him.
“Williamson says things are progressing as standard. There‘s nothing for you to worry about Remus, Jonas is confident it was an animal.”
“Jonas is a fool, you know that Harry.”
Harry sighed, “Yes, Remus, I do, but if he and Williamson say its under control, there‘s no reason for me to step in, not yet anyway. I‘ll keep an eye on things and let you know if and when I step in. ”
“Thank you Harry. I‘ll be of then I guess, I‘m going to Danny‘s funeral in Dublin tomorrow so I‘d best get going. I have quite a bit to get done before I leave.”
“Of course, I‘ll keep you posted.” Harry replied.
Remus headed out, taking the normal way this time. He was so lost in thought that he failed to hear Tonks speaking to him until she touched his arm gently.
“Watcher Remus. Oy, are you ok there?” Tonks asked, a concerned frown marring her features. Her hair turned a soft shade of blue as she studied Remus.
“Hm? Oh, hi Dora, yes, yes, just have a lot on my mind is all.” Remus replied.
“Oh, ok then. Well, have a good one then.” Tonks said.
Remus nodded and stepped on to the lift. As the doors closed Tonks stood and watched him, a sad and wistful sigh escaping her lips.
=======
Remus decided to go home, he had the rest of the day to get to Dublin and he was in no mood to deal with Customs, even if it was just the Magical ones. He thought perhaps a walk in familiar territory would help clear his head. He Apporated home and began walking.
He decided to trace his path from the first night of the Moon. Walking, he was aware of everything around him, every sound, scent, sight and magical current. There shouldn’t have been any magical currents out here, he was too far from anywhere. He knew the wards set by Jonas were further in, closer to his transformation site, so a magical current here perked his interest.
He stepped off the path and began following it. Pushing aside some low hanging branches, he exposed a small clearing. In the center sat a teddy bear. The magical current was coming from it. Hesitantly Remus scanned the area, he found no signs of anyone having been there in ages. The teddy bear looked relatively clean and not new, but not old or worn. He approached cautiously, stepping lightly as to not break any of the numerous twigs laying about.
Reaching into his bag, Remus pulled out a small cylinder. He removed the cap from one end and scanned the area with it. The cylinder grew warm in his hand, indicating its task was complete. He examined the words scrawled in familiar handwriting on the side. “Magic detected. Protection magic detected. Spell name unknown. Proceed with caution. Contact Auror Headquarters?”
He touched the last sentence and clearly said “No.” The last sentence vanished to be replaced with “No further magic detected. Proceed with caution.” He bent and examined the teddy bear. It was dark brown with tan on its belly and the underside of its paws and it bore a crest he’d seen before. With a start he realized it was the Abbot family crest. Not wishing to touch the bear for fear of setting off any latent protection charms, he whispered a quick “Wingardium Leviosa”, and hurried back towards town.
=======
Remus Apporated to the front walk of the Abbot household. He pushed open the small gate and hurried the few steps to the front door, the teddy bear bobbing beside him. He rang the bell and waited.
The door opened quickly and a harried looking young man looked up at him. “Hello Stefan, may I come in?” Remus asked.
“Professor, of course, please, come in. ” Stefan replied.
Remus stepped inside, the teddy bear following.
“You found Rabbin! How? Where? Where’s Tommy? Did you see my son? My boy! Where is my boy? What did you do with him! How did you find Rabbin? WHERE IS MY SON?” The last was shouted shortly before Stefan’s eyes rolled back into his head and he slumped to the floor.
Remus’ arm shot out and caught him before he hit the floor. Quickly, he muttered “Rennervate” and Stefan’s eyes fluttered. Remus gently lowered him to the floor and crouched next to him
“Stefan, Stefan, come on now, come back. Wake up.” Remus coaxed.
Stefan blinked a few times and focused on Remus‘ face. “My boy. Please, what happened?” Stefan whispered.
“I don‘t know, but I can help. Can we go into the living room?”
“Yes, come this way.” Stefan replied rising and leading the way down a short hall and into the living room.
“Tell me what happened Stefan.” Remus asked as he sat in one of the armchairs near the cold hearth.
“We only heard him scream, then nothing. I don‘t know what happened.” Stefan replied wringing his hands.
“You‘ve contacted Auror Jonas?”
“Yes, of course, but he wasn‘t of much help.”
“I can help, Stefan, I promise. Can I see Tommy‘s room?”
“Yes, this way” Stefan replied and guided him to a small bedroom further down the hall.
Remus stood in the doorway stunned and motionless. He smelled himself again,. There was no blood this time, only a broken window and torn drapes. Remus took a hesitant step into the room and looked around. More thoroughly. He noted the birds flying on the walls and the stuffed Eagle on the floor. He remembered the teddy bear and with a quick “Accio”, summoned it to him.
“Stefan, did Aura Jonas cast any spells while he was here?”
Stefan shook his head, “No Professor, not in my hearing. He was alone in here for a moment or two though, I, I couldn‘t handle being in here and Thomas took me out to the living room again. ”
Remus nodded in understanding. “I understand, you don‘t have to stay if its too hard.”
“Thank you, I‘ll be in the hall. Its… my baby…..” Stefan said and sniffling left the room
“Alacritas Res.” Remus muttered at the teddy bear.
“AHHHHHHH!” The bear screamed.
Hastily Remus shushed the bear. “Its ok, you‘re safe. Nothing will hurt you, but I need your help. Can you do that?”
“Who you? Where Tommy? Why Tommy?” The bear whaled
“Shhhh, now, its ok. I‘m Remus. I don‘t know where Tommy is or why he was taken, but I need your help. You saw what happened?”
“Yes, bad thing take my Tommy. Fur, claws, scary! Snarley! Scary! Dark, growled. Scary!”
“I‘ll find him Rabbin, I promise.” Remus set the bear down and picked up the Eagle. Repeating the spell he ask the same question.
“Greetings Wizard, how may I be of service?” The Eagle asked. His voice was polished and cultured with a hint of age to it.
“What happened the night Tommy was taken?”
“Young Master was sleeping when the window broke inwards. A large furry shape blocked out the moon while jumping through the window. The shape had legs like a dog, but was very large. Perhaps a large wolf, though my knowledge of such things is very limited. It picked up the young Master and darted back through the window. The Young Master was very frightened and screamed for his parents and myself. My name is Evan Eagleston. I have been with the family for 4 generations. I am the guard. I failed in my duties. I will assist you in any way I can Master Remus.” The Eagle replied.
“Did the Aura cast anything while he was here?”
“No Master Remus, he looked around for a few minutes and then left. The Masters were very distraught and I believe it bothered him a great deal to see such happen to a child. ”
“Thank you very much Evan. I‘m going to speak to Stefan about taking you with me. ” Remus took a deep breath and steeled himself for the power drain of his next spell. “Res Proprius” He said.
He braced himself on the dresser until his pulse had stopped racing and he could breathe normally again. He then placed Evan gently on his shoulder and exited the room. Getting permission from Stefan was extremely easy, once he showed him Evan’s animation. They left the house a few minutes later and with a “CRACK” Disapporated to the Irish Boarder.
