Loss of Control.
Sep. 5th, 2007 07:38 pmooc: This is set after finding out Bellatrix took Harry, but way before the organizing of the searching party and this. He needed to vent before he could continue facing whatever he needs to face, and this is it.

Control was something that Remus had grown to appreciate more than a normal person would. Control of his temper, control of his reactions, control of his life; all of it kept him balanced, it allowed him to lead his life easier. This appreciation for control came after he started to experience how it felt to lose it every full moon. How it felt to lose any sense of right or wrong, how it felt to have both body and mind suddenly bend and break without his will.
( Funny. Today wasn't a full moon, and he could feel that control slip away slowly through his fingers. )
