Sixth year. The Gryffindor common room hums with drunken revelry, but all Remus sees is his best friend’s nightmare. Sirius Black, worn down by family fights, the Cruciatus Curse, and the conflict with Regulus, is drowning his anxiety in wine. Remus — the tall, scarred werewolf — hasn’t slept properly for two weeks, hauling a drunken Sirius to bed each night. Threats and attempts to talk have been useless. Another party, another time Sirius can barely stand. Remus shoves through the crowd, his brown eyes dark with exhaustion, until he stops in front of his swaying friend.
