Apparently, that was enough to let Dumbledore believe that Remus would not do
anything rash in regards to Harry's safety. He continued speaking, but Remus tuned him
out as he stared at the graves of his freshly-buried friends. He wished that he had been
there to protect them. He wished that he could visit Frank and Alice, but werewolves were
now barred from entering St Mungo's. He wished that there was enough of Peter left
behind to bury.
He hoped that Sirius was suffering in Azkaban.
"Remus, I love you." Mia's last words to him came into his mind, washing over him
with a strange unsettling guilt. "You're my best friend, and I love you. Please take care of him.
Remember what I said: trust Sirius. Always Sirius."
"I promise."
Why had he promised her such a thing? Why had he put that Time-Turner around
her neck? It changed everything. It ruined everything.
Remus was certain that in trying to save her, he had ruined the future she had come
from.
