Every day for a week after Sirius died, Remus went to the park with a bottle of firewhisky and two sandwiches. He sat on a bench, drank, and fed a stray dog that reminded him of Padfoot.

The dog demanded nothing, which was good, because Remus had nothing left to give.

On Sunday morning, he was feeding the dog when a redheaded man and a girl with multicolored hair approached.

"Barnabas!" the girl exclaimed, hugging the dog.

"We've been looking for you," the man said.

"Me?" Remus asked.

"No, me," Barnabas said. "Thanks for the food."

Remus never drank again.
