[Prongs' galloping slows as the howls die, his hooves the only sound in the silence. He doesn't stop, though, keeping his eyes down until he can't resist and looks up to see Padfoot howling. He's barely moving now, just stepping forward, his head down, nostrils flaring at the scent of blood and gore and...death. He can smell it and he cringes, eyes focused on his herd, pack, whatever it is in his mind. His family, the ones he takes care of. One howling in silent pain, the other lying dead on the floor of a deserted theatre.

He closes his eyes as Padfoot comes near, but moves opposite to him as he leaves, lowering himself to see for himself. He can't not, even as everything within him is screaming for him to leave. The stag can't feel as much as the part of his mind that's still human is screaming for it to and almost against his will, he transforms back into his human form, crumpling to the ground next to the remains of the wolf. He stares at it, unable to associate that bloody mess with the boy he's spent the better part of six years with. Blank eyes stare, not even moving when he hears Sirius' fist impact with the wall.

He's still sitting there when the wolf's body disappears minutes later.]

Fuck! [It's obvious that he's removed his own silencing spell as his voice echoes through the theatre that had once been filled with howls. His back is turned when Remus' body disappears and Sirius doesn't even care. Instead he keeps it turned and speaks to James in a hoarse voice.]

Come on. I need a drink and to destroy some stuff.

[James gets mutely to his feet, flicking his own wand at himself. When he speaks, his voice is hoarse, nearly inaudible] Alright.

[He forces his eyes to move from the bloodstain that marks where Moony had been just moment before and walks resolutely towards Sirius, not really seeing him]
