It was dizzying, walking back and forth like this. But Sirius had been dizzy before the pacing had started, so he saw no reason why he should force himself to stop now. "I don't understand," he grunted, running his hands through his hair, set off into speaking by Lily's string of swears. "Where the bloody hell could he have gotten to? Before his meeting with Snape? Lily, I had just been speaking to him. I don't-- I-- FUCK!"

He collapsed into the armchair, burying his face in his hands.

"He never met with Severus," she replied, tying her hair back again. "I thought maybe he did and just went early or something." She continued her pacing, not able to stop. If she stopped, it would be possible that he wasn't...no, she wouldn't think of that. "At least you're going out to look for him." Lily didn't intend for that to come out as defensive as it did.

Teddy's body was dead weight as Harry maneuvered his limp limbs into his winter jacket. He grunted as he tugged Teddy off the bed and into his arms, holding him close to his chest. He didn't like what he was about to do any more than his mum did. If his mum had questioned where Remus was earlier...Then they'd have one more body out and looking.

He was nervous.

Harry really didn't like that. He hadn't been nervous about an investigation since his first year on the Auror force, and then he'd been untrained and unaware of what he might find in the field. He was relatively more secure in what he'd find now. He knew who had magic in town, he knew who was dangerous and not trustable without it

Lily heard the distinct crack of Apparition as she was mid-pace. And she'd uttered the last curse she would for a while. Little ears were around.

At least...yes, that was Harry and Teddy. Not Remus. She normally would have been thrilled to see her son and Teddy. But right now, Lily was almost in complete panic mode. The I have to do something mode. And what was she going to do? Stay home with Teddy.

She only mildly resented that. Lily gave Harry a half-hearted worried smile.

Harry took one look at his mother's face and what very little amount of hope he'd clung to that someone would have seen Remus that night died in a burst. He settled Teddy down on the sofa, brushing a gentle hand through his soft teal hair. He was happy and unconcerned. At least one of them was.

"No one's said anything yet?" he asked in a whisper, straightening up and turning around.

She shook her head slightly, her eyes unfocused. "Severus said that he and Remus never met up this afternoon like they were supposed to," she whispered. That had been her last hope. Shattered a while ago. Merlin, he'd better not be gone. Please let him be okay and not gone.
