Remus could have had help, packing up the house, storing those few precious reminders of a life too short. Minerva had offered, and Hermione, too. Even Harry, oddly enough.
"Don't be too proud to take help," Minerva had said, leaving the wake. "We want to help."
But Minerva was wrong - he was not proud. For what pride could he have, he who had failed to prevent the death of the man he loved? He who had failed the most important task there could be? Proud? There was no pride left in him; he thought there never would be again.
