Professor? There's... There's something I need to talk to you about. Something important.

Yes, Remus?

I... Well. It's. It's about this, Professor.

((Link to the video, obviously, not to their thread ;3; ))

...I see.

...I take it you'd like to know if it's true.

Among other things, yes. I'd... Well, I'd like to know the truth behind it, Professor. Because, well. I know that there's more to it than that video has shown, and I want--no, I need to know all of it.

Alright. But there is a lot to explain. And most of it is very unpleasant indeed.

For starters: Sirius did not kill those people. Sirius did not kill James or Lily. The explosion was caused by your friend Peter in an attempt to cover his guilt.

I never believed Sirius did, Professor. He...he's a good person, really.

But. The explosion was caused by Peter? What... What happened, Professor? To Lily and James? How... Why did Peter try to frame Sirius for it? I. I need to understand this. I can't fix it if I don't understand where it all went wrong.

I know he is.

I understand. But it's a complicated tale. Do you know what the Fidelius Charm is, Remus?

Okay. I mean. That's good. That you do know.

I... I think? Isn't it something to do with secrets?

The Fidelius Charm is an immensely complicated spell used to protect a location. If the Fidelius Charm is performed, then the only people who would ever be able to see, locate, or enter that place are its' owners, and its Secret Keeper...and anyone the Secret Keeper chooses to tell.

That is why it's of the utmost importance to choose a reliable Secret Keeper: if you choose poorly, then anyone would be able to enter the location and attack it or its residents.

Alright, I think that I understand all of that. What does it have to do with Lily, James, or Sirius, though? And why would Peter blow up an entire street of people and frame Sirius for it?

After you graduated, all five of you -- you, Sirius, James, Lily, and Peter -- became members of a group called the Order of the Phoenix. It's an organization devoted to fighting Lord Voldemort; I am its leader ( ... )

Oh. Wow... I...

That's a lot of information to process at once...

Take your time. ...it is not an easy thing to learn.

lycanthropy_101 August 5 2010, 04:36:11 UTC
I...

Before I go on, I have just one question. Where the hell was I in any of this, Professor? Why...why was none of that story including me? I mean, I know that I'm alive then, at least, but. I... I can't have just let all of this happen, could I?

prof_bumblebee August 5 2010, 04:53:07 UTC
You were in the Order, doing whatever you could. I think you are misassigning blame if you think that you let anything happen.

Right, right. I'm sorry, Professor. It's just that, well. These videos, and your story. None of them ever mentioned me, and I. I don't like that. I don't like that I wasn't there for my friends when they needed me the most.

Tell me, Professor. Please. How do I fix this? I have to fix this...
