Hi guys! I felt like a cute fluffy bonding chapter was due so… I wrote one! Yay! And I know I mentioned Curiosity killed the cat being the next chapter but actually that comes after this one, because this one was directly related to CKTC.
Remus woke up to the sound of crying. And that wasn't normal. Harry almost never cried.
Sure, Harry had cried when he found out the truth about his parents just two days ago. But still, this wasn't normal.
There was no point in waking up Sirius, he could sleep through almost anything, so Remus took it upon himself to see if harry was okay. He sat up then swung his legs over the side of his bed, stopping to let his eyes adjust to the darkness. Then he got up and walked through the hall into Harry's room, which was where the sniffs and sobs were coming from. Remus opened up the door to see Harry lying in his purple bed, crying and holding the stag toy that he had gotten for Christmas last year from Sirius.
"Harry?" Remus asked carefully. He sat down on the bed beside Harry and Harry turned to look at him. "Remus?" Remus nodded softly and stroked Harry's hair. "What's wrong, Harry?" Harry looked guilty and looked away from Remus before turning back to him. "I'm having nightmares" Remus was relieved. Harry was okay, it was just a nightmare. "What was it about?" Harry looked at him with big eyes before replying, "My parents. And the basement. I dreamt that they were killed in the basement. Is that why it's so bloody? Are you and Sirius murderers?"
A pang of pain went through Remus' chest. How could Harry ever think that he and Sirius were murderers? He continued to stroke Harry's hair. "We are not murderers, Harry. Definitely not." Harry nodded. "Promise?" Remus looked him in the eyes. "I promise."
Remus hugged Harry before going back to bed.
The next morning
Sirius woke up to Remus staring down at him. "Creepy much?" He groaned as he got out of bed. "Not really, it's important." Remus replied. "Harry is having suspicions about the basement. I think it's time we tell him the truth." Sirius looked at him almost in shock before nodding solemnly. Normally it wouldn't have been Remus who would suggest something like this, it would've been Sirius, but Remus felt that they had put this conversation off for much too long.
Sirius and Remus walked downstairs together before knocking softly on Harry's door. "Harry?" Remus called. Harry opened the door. "Meet us on the carpet please." Remus directed. Sirius rushed to the kitchen and made sandwiches before sitting on the carpet. This was it. It was time for the truth.
Harry looked up at both of them with big eyes, ready to listen. "You go first." Remus muttered to Sirius. Sirius nodded. "So Harry, you know how I have a dog?" Harry nodded. "Actually, that dog is me." Remus rolled his eyes. "Way to drop a bombshell, Sirius." Sirius ignored him and continued, "I am an Animagi. That basically means that I can turn into an animal. Only one animal, the animal that represents my soul, which is a black dog." Harry nodded. Sirius guessed that after being told magic was real not much could shock Harry. "Can you show me?" He asked. Sirius nodded before transforming into a dog and licking Harry's face. Harry patted him on the head and Padfoot barked appreciatively, before curling up on Remus' lap and nudging him, trying to get him to talk. Remus smiled before starting, "Now it's my turn." Harry looked up at him. "So Harry, do you remember how the other day we told you about how many of the things you thought were not real are real?" Harry nodded. "Well, werewolves are real." Harry looked at him worriedly. "Really? But they could hurt me!" Remus' face fell before He said, "Well, yes. They could." Sirius transformed back quickly as he recognized Remus' hurt. "What Remus is trying to say is that He suffers from lycanthropy."
Harry looked confused. "lyn-cat-opy?" He asked innocently. Remus and Sirius laughed. "No, lycanthropy." Sirius said, smiling. 'that means that Remus is a werewolf." He explained. Harry looked confused, then smiled. "Okay."
