Harry Never Noticed

Harry didn’t notice Remus seemed to become distracted during order meetings, whenever that murdering bastard Snape was mentioned. He didn’t notice the look of worry he got, or that he had more information then ever before. More then Greyback would ever give him. He was too busy to see anything beyond his own need to finish his quest, finish Voldemort. He didn’t notice anything until that awful night, that night when the killing curse was aimed at him. Suddenly there was Snape, Snape in a death eater’s mask, jumping in front of him instead.

He noticed when he went back to tell Remus. When Harry was told that he couldn’t give them as much information any more, with a tear in his eye. He noticed then, that the werewolf who had only ever shown emotion over Dumbledore’s death could not look him in the eye. He noticed when he saw he was a broken man, but by then Harry couldn’t care any more. When he saw Remus could not look anyone in the eye and would not speak unless it was necessary, Harry noticed. He told himself it was betrayal, there had been no redemption, and tried to believe it.
