Chapter one- Great idea
Remus was sitting alone in his room. After he left the ministry all he did was sit in his bedroom and some times wrote to Harry or replied to mail he received. He knew he was depressed and he did nothing to try and change that. He had little to none visitors and liked it that way. His stomach growled. He sighed and left the room for his kitchen. The last thing he wanted was for McGonagall to make her weekly visit and scald him for not eating and threaten him with St. Mungo's again. He'd just put the kettle on when there was a knock at the door. "Strange." He muttered walking out of the kitchen, "she doesn't usually visit until Friday." He looked at the calendar to make sure he wasn't completely losing track of time. No he was right it was only Wednesday.
"Who is it?" He asked gripping his wand in his pocket.
"Me." Was the simple answer he got but he knew who it was straight away. He opened the door.
"Severus." Remus nodded and let him in. Severus walked straight into the living room.
"Make yourself at home." He murmured shutting the door. "So? To what do I owe this visit?" He forced a smile.
"I was, am worried about your elf -err-health." Severus confessed. Remus was rather shocked.
"Oh a-and why is that?" He asked fidgeting. The kettle started whistling Remus stood.
"Let me." Severus said standing too.
"I'm okay." He lied.
"Fine we'll both do it." Remus raised an eyebrow and started to grin. "Make the tea! You are so childish sometimes. Grow up!" Remus pouted.
"Sorry."
"Don't do that act your age!" Severus tried to sound serious but failed miserably. He began to grin as well.
After they had both made tea they went back into the living room of Remus' small cottage. "So Severus erm you were worried about me?" Remus fidgeted a little. Severus was incredibly calm. /When you told him he didn't laugh.that was a good sign wasn't it? Yes! Of course it was! If you can scare the hell out of every student in Hogwarts you can do this!/ Severus' eyes were glazed over whilst he had his mental battle. Remus waved his hand in front of Severus' eyes. No reaction. He clicked his fingers a couple of times. Still, no reaction. Remus got a little worried. He stood and shook Severus.
"What?" Severus snapped.
"Erm, sorry. I was a bit scared. Your eyes got all glazed over, sorry." Remus trailed off a little embarrassed of his rash actions. Severus just smiled a little at how cute Remus looked whilst embarrassed.
"Yes I was-am worried about you Remus. Look at you you're wasting away. I know you've already had McGonagall breathing down your neck but you don't understand it's because she cares. I can't force you to eat and it's obvious you're depressed! Listen don't get angry at me for saying this but would Sirius like you to act like this? I may not have been his best friend but even I can admit he cared about you! If he were here now what would he say? Well?"
That was the first time anyone had spoken about Sirius since he passed away.and funnily enough Remus felt that what Severus was saying was true. And his question.
"He'd probably smack me around the back of my head and yell saying that I should enjoy my life." Remus smiled he could almost imagine Sirius' carefree voice impersonating McGonagall. Tears welled in his eyes but he didn't let them fall. Severus saw the tears /oh god I'm no good in these situations! /
"Exactly right Remus, He would, I mustn't stay too long, will you be okay alone?"
"Yes. Thank you Severus."
"Don't try anything stupid like hunting Bellatrix and the dark lord down."
-Three days later-
-Dumbledore's office-
"Albus think about it! I can cast the charms around my house and find a secret keeper, please. Voldemort wouldn't expect it and no one except the order and a few ministry officials will know! And it will put the Dursley's out of danger and maybe it will cheer Harry up a little.we all know he needs it Albus. We can have Arthur sign it personally after all he's the new minister since that idiot Fudge left."
Albus was thinking the proposal over. Yes Harry needed a little happiness and the Dursley's were out of danger. Arthur would obviously agree. He sighed rubbing his tired eyes that no longer held his famous twinkle.
"If you can get legal guardianship, with Harry's approval then I can't stop you. And you are right it would be for the better."
"Thank you I'll first ask Arthur, then find a secret keeper, then I'll take the documents to Privet drive before signing them so I can get Harry's consent."
Remus did exactly what he said. First he had all legal documents signed by Arthur but he kept his word and didn't sign them until Harry's consent. Then came the trickiest part, finding a good secret keeper, one he could trust. It wasn't easy he wouldn't have had one if it weren't for Severus.again.
-Flashback-
Remus was sat in his living room assessing all possible candidates for being his, no Harry's secret keeper. Harry's life may depend on his decision. He sat staring at the adoption papers, and then there was a sharp knock at the door.
"Hello?" He asked through the door hand firmly on his wand.
"It's me again." Spoke the familiar drawl. Remus sighed and loosened his grip on his wand. He opened the door. Severus walked in and took his usual place in the living room.
"Albus has informed me of what you are planning on doing Remus." He drawled as Remus sat down.
"Oh." Remus got ready for a lecture. There was none. He looked at Severus suspiciously.
"And?" He asked.
"I think it's a great idea." Remus let out the breath he'd been holding in subconsciously.
"Thank you Severus, there's only one problem. I can't find a damned secret keeper!"
"That's why I came here Remus, listen I may not be trustworthy in your eyes but I can detect any poisons and I can tell when anyone tries to slip me something like a truth potion, so I would be able to help."
"Really? Thanks, but why? I thought you hate Harry with a passion."
"It isn't just for Harry." Severus stopped abruptly. /I've already been over this! The other day I let out too many emotions! / Think. "Dumbledore's 'suggested' it, as usual, so Remus, do you agree?"
"Yes of course I do! Thank you!"

A/N Sorry I ended Remus' depression so suddenly but I didn't like him being sad and I wanted to get on with the story without dragging it on. Please R/R ^-^ BYE!
