Going through more photos to show Sirius one evening, Remus stumbled across a box of things that had been recovered from the manor, given to Mary as the last remaining friend of Lily Potter, eventually handed off to Remus the night she came to say goodbye, the night she chose to forget. The blanket was in there, buried at the bottom and singed in one corner. He lifted it slowly from teh box and brought it to his face, it no longer smelled of Lily, a fact that stabbed him in the heart as he pulled it away and settled it in his hands.
