Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling and all those companies do. Also, Cure My Tragedy is a title to the song by Cold. I don't own that either -_-;
Remus sat at the table, trembling. His best friend and lover was dead. He repeated the finale word in his head infinitely, it seemed. He wanted to crawl into his bed and die
'No! You must be strong, Lupin! Be strong for Harry. Be strong for yourself.'
But now he had no one.
'You have Harry. You have the Weasleys. You have all of the Order!'
The man he loved most dearly was gone. It would chew at his very flesh until there was nothing except his bones. He understood it must feel as bad for Harry. He couldn't go on like this forever.
'Yes you can! You have the love and support of all of your friends.'
But that wasn't enough. He needed him. He ached for him. That was it. He needed to talk to a friend. Remus walked over to his telephone he had bought at a muggle market to contact Harry when needed. He dialed the appropriate number and heard a deep gravely voice answer. "Vernon Dursley speaking."
"Harry Potter, please." Remus heard the man grumble and complain a bit, but Harry quickly retrieved the phone.
"Hello?"
"Harry, it's Remus. I wanted to talk to you. To explain some things to you."
"...Alright."
"Harry, I was very close to your godfather during Hogwarts. I loved him very much. We started... dating... during our 5th year."
"..."
"But, for one reason and another, we gathered suspicions of each other after we graduated, and split up. After he got taken away to Azkaban, I was sure of it. But, as you know, I found out it was really Peter who was the betrayed us and we admitted to each other we still loved one another. And after he... fell through the veil I just..." With that, Remus started to sob. A broken man, he was. He had nothing else to do.
"Profess- I mean, Remus, I-I'm going through enough right now. I c-can't deal with this. I'm sorry. Goodbye."
"Wait, Harry!" But he had already hung up. Now he didn't even have Harry. His last live friend. He was alone. That was it.
The next day, Harry sat in the kitchen munching on toast when Uncle Vernon called him. "Potter, one of your loony friends from the platform is on the news. Maybe he landed your... 'kind of people' in some trouble!" Harry sat and stared, mouth gaping at the television, not believe the words he heard.
"Today, Remus Jacob Lupin was found having hanged himself in his home. His body was found in the basement with a note attached to it that reads 'May I always be with you, Sirius.' More on this story at 11."
(((I know, I know. Remus is stronger than that. He'll be able to hold on. But I'm just a bit tired after reading all these fics wear he tells Harry about him and Sirius and everything is fine and cool. time for a change of pace. R/R, plz. much love-)))
