He is going to live.
As difficult as it is to believe, Remus is actually going to live … thanks in no small part to a simply ingenious idea from Ms. Abbott.
Apparently the realization that the transformation was going to kill Remus, since his wolf could not survive with silver in its bloodstream, she came up with a way for him to transform and shut his body down at the same time.
It’s so simply I’m amazed I didn’t think of it myself. Of course, considering the fact that I’ve been consumed with finding the person responsible, I suppose it shouldn’t be too shocking that I hadn’t even humored the thought Remus might live. However, to use the Draught of Living Death was a thought worthy of a Potions Master. Or Mistress, as this case may be.
While I find myself exhausted making this entry, as I slept very little last night, I am also overjoyed. Which is quite startling, to say the least. When, exactly, did I cease wishing Remus Lupin harm? When did I stop seeing him as one of the infamous Marauders, and simply as a man?A decent and caring man.
Obviously my exhaustion is getting the better of me. Perhaps it is time I cease rambling in this journal and get some much-needed sleep. Research on the potion continues tomorrow and I should be properly rested.
