Remus, Sirius, and Marlene had been at a Halloween party, but when they lost Sirius and the party got boring they figured he’d gone to the James and  Lily’s (because where else?), and decided to show up pretending to be ‘trick or treaters’. They walk down the streets of Godric’s Hollow laughing.

Remus: “Uh not because of your outfit… Just… You look very uh pretty…” 

Marlene laughs as Remus dwells on his stupid choice of words for a while, and in that moment they turn a corner and immediately see that something is horribly wrong a little down the road. The Potter’s house. 

Marlene stands frozen to the ground for a second as Remus starts running towards the Potters house pulling his wand out of his pocket as he runs. He storms in through the open front door.

Remus backs slowly away from the doorway unable to understand the terribly frightful scene in front of him. It couldn’t be them. His James. His Lily. He turns his head away from the sight in frustration and spots a still figure a little longer down the road. He needs answers, so he approaches the figure. Wand ready. Marlene’s cry fading away in the distance. 

Remus: “Oh fuck… What is happening?!”

Remus: “Pads?” 

Remus: “Where is Peter?!”

As he shifts and moves a little closer he realises that this is not his Sirius.
