"Sorry. Just didn't want to say sorry again." I said sadly. "Rem....it's.... it wasn't really you though."

"It was me. Peter, this is me. What I am, is me." I say quietly. "If I'd have told her-...if I'd have said, just mentioned, this is what I am. She would still be alive. But because I was too scared, I was too scared that she would hate me for that, that I couldn't tell her and now she's dead. It was me, Peter. It was me that killed her."

I looked down. "Remus, that's terrible. I... I don't know what to say, how to help." I paused, then continued. "But, you have a second chance. With Rin. You, you told her. She knows. And I know you, you won't let her near you at the full moon. It.... it doesn't change what happened, but, you can stop it from happening again."

"How do you know?" I say desperately. "How do you know something won't happen? I tried to keep her away, I always made sure she was somewhere else at the full moon, I still don't know why she was anywhere near me that-...that night. You can't tell me for sure, that nothing will happen. And even if you could it wouldn't stop me from worrying about it. I don't deserve a second chance, Peter. I don't deserve Rin. Not after what I did. I don't deserve a second chance."

"Remus." I said quietly, shaking my head. "It's only at this one time of the month that you need to be careful around her. It's different. Rin knows, there's no chance of it happening again. Remus... you are such a wonderful person the rest of the month, you deserve to have Rin."

"I don't. Not with someone else's life on my conscience."

I sighed. "I know. I know how much it hurts. I know the guilt. But Remus..." I shook my head. "Remus, maybe if you weren't what you are, I would agree with you. But you are. And that was not a decision you made."

"I made the decision not to tell her. If she'd known-...I don't know. Things would be different if she'd known."

"I do. She would have run. If I told her, she would have run. She would have gone back to her muggle life, and that would be that. She would have run far away from me and never seen me again and that would be fine because at least she'd be alive."

I nodded and sat there quietly, looking out at the lake.

I also let my gaze drift out to the lake, sadly watching the waters ripple.

I took out my lighter and picked up a leaf and started burning it.

I fall silent again.

"Can I show you something?" I asked quietly.

"Go ahead."

I took a deep breath, then held out my left forearm, pulling up the sleeve of my shirt.

I wince and look away, remaining silent for a long time. "Excuse me a minute." I say quietly, not quite sure how to handle this. I stand up and walk into the forbidden forest.

I make my way through the tree's, thinking. Peter was a death eater, Peter had tried to kill me, Peter was one of my best friends. But he was a death eater that had tried to kill me. But he was one of my best friends. "Oh fuck all." I mutter angrily, hitting out at a tree. My knuckles split and bleed but I ignore it and disappear further into the trees.

"Remus." I called after him. "Come on, don't do this!"

I stop. "Don't do what?" I yell back.
