"Unless he was ordered to let someone go?" Harry asks quietly, because he sees the why etched on Remus's face. His mind is also working in overdrive. Able to pick the scent out, especially around a full moon. What if he was supposed to get a clear scent, have it embedded into his memory, so that when Voldemort wished to find Harry easily he could use Fenrir to do so?
"And if he were to spend a significant amount of time around someone, an hour or so, up close, memorizing their scent, then perhaps he would not need the full moon to track them easily should he be instructed to do so?"
His voice sounded so hollow as the theory took hold in his head. Had this been why he managed to keep escaping? Voldemort was using his followers to torment and toy with him, but also to gain information for him.
"Uncle Remus, I need a favor from you, and I need you not to tell Dad about it. Can you do that for me?" The look he gives his uncle is one he learned at Siri's knee. Pleading puppy eyes with Lily Evan's exact shade of green. "I need you to put a trace on me of sorts. Some sort of charm that will alert you any time I am outside the castle walls. Can you do that and keep it between us?"
