Nostalgia for a time that never existed

by DandelionFlowery

Summary:

I didn't put Major Character Death because no one dies on screen but it is somewhat canon compliant and set, at least at first, in November 1981

Remus tries a last ditch attempt to contact Sirius after everything, meanwhile, his mother has a plan and the bravery only a muggle could have when facing up against essentially the entire wizarding world.

Notes:

I finally decided to post this so there will be a lot of parts, with chapters of varying lengths*, right away but then I'll probably post incredibly sporadically but with a lot of updates
*You're probably better off reading this as a complete work and not chapter by chapter bc currently my shortest chapter is a single paragraph
Title is I'm guessing from one of my classes? It was in a completely unrelated notes thing and was added a good 2-3 years after this was written.

Chapter 1

The full moon fell on Wednesday the eleventh of November 1981. 

 

It had been eleven days since his world was ripped apart.

Eleven days.

How was he supposed to live with that on top of everything else?

As nightfall approached, he was considering signing up to the Werewolf Registry.

It would be the first time since he'd been bitten that he would be completely alone for a full moon.

Before Hogwarts, his neighbor and parents would look out for him, and then his friends– no, he wouldn't think about them, not yet. He could ask his old teachers, but they had too much on their plates as it was.

Could he get to his parents' house before the moon rose?

He could feel himself losing control of his mind already.

 

Home is safe, get home for safety. 

Home is safe, get home.

Home is safe.

Home.
