A little boy of black hair and big brown eyes was playing by a small river. He was was giggling as he crouched on his knees, trying to get to the tiny tadpoles that were swimming around when he heard a sound that startled him. Looking around he bit his bottom lip in concentration, when he looked toward the other side of the river he saw another little boy who was laying on the ground. Curiousity got the better of him and he walked across to the other boy.
"Are you ok?" he asked in an innocent tone. The boy laying down didn't move at first and his light brown hair was covering his eyes. He shooked him gently until the boy opened his eyes slowly, letting out a pained groan.
"Unghh…." The injured boy tried to speak but he couldn't he was just in too much pain. They were both an odd sight, these two boys couldn't have been older than seven. Without thinking twice the black haired boy spoke
"My name is Severus, whats yours?"
"R-Remus…" a cough interrupted him from speaking his last name.
"Wait here, I'll try to sneak you something." Severus wasn't sure what something was, but he had wanted to help and without another word left the boy there.
Several minutes passed and Severus came back with a two simple sandwiches, a glass of juice and a clean rag and helped him the best he could.
Many years later, It would only hurt Severus even more when he realised that the small boy he helped by the river was the same one that didn't lift a finger when James hung him upside down.
