And there is a HOWLING WIND
A ringing around my ears
And a wild wild wind is a blowing
Tearing down my tears*
Remus heard the words in his head as attempted to keep from screaming. The knowledge was a dry hot wind that tore through his soul.
Forty days in the desert sand
Forty nights on my hands and knees
Forty days in the howling wind*
It wasn’t possible that he survived and Severus hadn't. He needed to see for himself. Nonsensical voices swirled around him. Nothing would keep him from Severus most certainly not well-meaning friends, logic or death.
