The trial is quick; by the time Remus arrives at his mother’s house, having finally responded to Dumbledore (the owl wouldn’t leave), hastily packed up all his belongings (there weren’t many, and anyway with the right sort of magic everything fits into the one trunk he owns), informed his landlord of his departure, and bought a one-way ticket to Wales, Hope Lupin is able to receive her son with a fierce hug and the news that Sirius Black has been cleared of all crimes, found innocent; Peter Pettigrew, it seems, was the Potter’s true Secret Keeper, mass murderer, and traitor. Once Remus has recovered from the shock of this news, he goes to the Ministry as bidded, only to be turned away and told that Sirius Black has been admitted to St. Mungo’s, Peter Pettigrew sent to Azkaban, and Remus is no longer needed for questioning.
