"Any new leads?" Lily inquired.
"Not until tomorrow. With a full moon tonight, there's likely to be reports of
sightings in the morning. We'll head out to wherever the reports lead us then," he said,
repeating back words that Edgar had told him earlier that night when Sirius insisted on
trying to find the pack during their transformations, despite the insane risk involved.
The truth was, the people involved who could be trusted to help track down the
werewolves were sparse in numbers, and the Auror department was stretched as it was.
There were still three split-off groups from the main pack, and not enough Aurors and
Order members to cover each. One group had been spotted just south of Suffolk, another
near the Forest of Avon in Somerset, and the last was rumoured to be around Cumbria.
"There's some food on the counter," Lily said as she wrapped her arms around him,
pulling him into a tight hug. "I put a Stasis Charm on it. There's enough for Mia as well. I
haven't been able to convince her to eat anything."
"Thanks, Lils." Sirius offered a small smile and watched as she disappeared through
the Floo.
He sighed and made his way down the stretch of hallway, stopping in front of
Remus's room, knowing there was no point in searching the rest of the flat. He slowly
turned the doorknob and looked inside to find exactly what he knew he would find. There,
in the centre of Remus's bed, was the little sleeping fox. Red ears twitched at the sound of
his footsteps, and small amber eyes opened to look up at him, but she made no other
movements.
"Hello, love."
Without another word, he shifted.
Padfoot gently leapt up onto the large bed, spinning once in a circle before lying
down behind the smaller creature. He sniffed at her face and nosed his way beneath her,
allowing for the little fox to rest her small head on his large muzzle.
