"Did you hear?"
"--that's right, that's what I--"
"--believe it, it's so incredible. How--"
"--yes, Sirius Black, that's right--"
Remus walked through the crowd of people in Diagon Alley calmly, as if Sirius had not just escaped from Azkaban, as if wanted posters were not showing up everywhere, as if he wasn't going to be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher so that he could protect Harry from Sirius.
Someone smashed into him from behind, and knocked him against a wall. "Sorry," the person mumbled, and walked on. Remus stared after him for a moment before continuing on to Flourish and Blotts.
"--Black, and did you hear what he did to Pettigrew? Bloody brutal--"
Stop talking about Sirius! Remus wanted to yell. He wanted to Silence them all so that he wouldn't have to hear the words "Sirius Black" echoing around his head and making him remember what he wanted to forget, everything he wanted to forget, like the sound of Sirius's laugh, the way his mouth crinkled at the corners when he smiled, the way he kissed Remus like Remus meant something to him--
I'll probably never forget, he thought, threading his way through the crowd. These people, and Dumbledore, and my own mind...they won't let me.
Remus pasted a pleasant expression on his face, and walked on.
