Sirius was quiet for a moment. A flicker of what looked suspiciously like fear flashed in his eyes. Now that he was calmer he could thinking more clearly about his future and the consequences of his actions.
"Which means he'll have to know about me. Remus, I'm not registered. They'll send me to Azkaban."
Not an hour ago Azkaban wasn't nearly so daunting. He'd been determined to find Peter and kill him. The life sentence that would earn him didn't seem to matter as long as justice was served. And, to an extent, it still didn't. But the more he considered spending time in that place and having the Dementors steal every happy memory he had, every memory of James and Lily save for their dead bodies... Not many things made Sirius afraid but that was terrifying.
But maybe that was what he deserved. Yet that didn't mean Remus deserved to be left alone.
Everything was unraveling so quickly. Their secrets, their lives, and, for Sirius, possibly his freedom.
