There it was. The doubt and suspicion, everything he had directed toward Remus was now reflected back at himself. Except this time there was proof. There was reason. What did Sirius have? What did he ever have? Nothing. Remus was never the traitor. He would never betray them. How could Sirius think...
What did he do? He'd betrayed his lover. He'd killed his friends. Orphaned his godson. Ruined all their lives.
The wand fell from Sirius's hands and he soon followed, collapsing onto his knees.
"I told him-- James-- Merlin, it's all my fault. I told him to switch. Peter..." This was something his mind could latch onto. Revenge. Everything else was lost to him but this one chance to avenge his friends.
His gaze hardened and there was a wild look in his eyes. Still looking ahead, somewhere in front of Remus's feet, he grasped blindly for his wand.
"I told them to switch to Peter. He killed them and now--" His hand clasped his wand. No one had seen Sirius like this before. The Black madness, dormant for all these years, had at last surfaced. "I'm going to kill him."
