RP: But I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Date: 20 February 2005
Character(s): Remus Lupin
Location: Outskirts of Stoatshead
Status: Private
Summary: Remus at very long last finds what he's been looking for.
Completion: Complete
Remus was cold, wet and tired. He'd managed to step right in a large puddle. When one stepped in puddles, their feet didn't sink six inches into mud. Remus was still sore and scowling. And skulking.
Of all the things he could have picked up from his time with Severus, it had to be that.
He sighed, not wanting to dry his leg for he knew the moment he did, he'd find another puddle. That was the way it went. Remus sighed. Sirius was right. They really should have hexed Murphy during school. Even if it wasn't the same Murphy, it would make him feel better.
Making the final turn, Remus was faced with the north end of town. Andromeda lived not far from here. Remus blew the fringe from his face, hiking up the final rise.
When he first saw it, Remus damn near thought he was faced with a mirage. But the closer he came to it, it didn't waver and fade away. When he was finally standing a few metres away, Remus realised why they couldn't find the school.
The thing was a complete shithole... to be kind. Overgrown with weeds, it looked as if it hadn't been inhabited in years. Windows were broken and ivy climbed over the facade. Remus gingerly stepped amongst the broken glass, carefully opening a nearby door and stepping inside. The place smelled worse than it looked and Remus nearly gagged. It was then that he saw the condemned sign.
No, really? Remus snorted.
Something about a gas leak, among other things. Grime covered the rest of the caution sign. Still holding his nose, he stepped back outside and took gulps of fresh air. The building itself looked sound. But given the condemnation, it was no wonder they hadn't been able to find it before now. Most likely, no one had stepped inside it for at least eight years.
Which meant, if there was another school, it had to have been destroyed. Remus put his hands on his hips, looking up at the facade of the building. This was all there was and it would have to do.
