Yo my homies!, another chapter is up!.
I apologise for the slow pacing of things but this chapter will be the last of the current day, and the next few will probably be on the first day, But more fast paced then I'll change it so several days go by at once and the interesting and relevant things come up in the story.
J.E.Foxina: Thanks again for another wonderful review!, and yes I think you have expressed how great you think this fic is.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or the Wizarding world I only own the plot and my characters (Lillian Alice Potter, Cindy Amy Kettle) all rights go to j.k.Rowling.
ATTENTION
As I stated in the previous chapter I am currently looking for a beta and the position is still available if you're interested
Without further ado...
-HPHPHPHPHPHPHP-
Harry glanced around the professor quarters, they had a nice homely feel to them, warm reds oranges and browns coloured the rooms, the room smelt of cinnamon chocolate, and something that smelt like a medicine or a potion, which left Harry curious as to why the faint scent would be there.
"Please take a seat, how do you like your tea?" He gestured towards the couch which was leather, and surprisingly comfortable, Harry sat down next to his sister his head on her shoulder.
"Please may I have one sugar, and some milk please, do you want yours without sugar Harry?"
Harry nodded, feeling rather tired and sleepy, he unconsciously registered Lupin saying something to do with teabags, he felt his eyes drifting shut, when he was startled from the bang of Remus putting a tray down.
"Oh, I'm sorry Harry did I startle you?" He asked with an amused expression, Harry shrugged and picked up the tea Remus had just placed in front of him, he placed in on his lap and looked down at it.
"You tired Harry?" Lillian asked as she pressed a kiss to his cheek, blushing Harry shook his head 'no'.
Lillian smiled at him, he was practically asleep already, she glanced at professor Lupin, who was looking at him with a warm smile upon his face, he grabbed a red blanket that was draped over the armchair, and threw it over Harry and Lillian, Smiling Lillian moved it to tuck around her brother.
"How are you feeling Harry?" Asked Lupin remembering how sickly the boy looked before, Harry not really knowing how to respond to this question with gestured shook his head and shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh? Not good then, what's the matter are you still feeling ill?"
Harry shook his head again, wishing he could speak to on of his fathers best friends through something else other than gestures, he liked Remus he spoke to him as if he wasn't silent, and he was grateful for that.
"What's the problem then Har"
Emerald eyes flashed with happiness at the nickname, and Harry smiled shyly but sweetly at the werewolf.
"He's had an argument with his friends sir" said Lillian ignoring the glare Harry sent toward her.
An argument?, Remus wondered how someone who couldn't talk could have an argument not that they couldn't express they opinions if course but still they couldn't say anything offensive, and he couldn't see Harry doing so anyway he seemed like such a sweet little boy.
Lillian let out a sigh, looking her godfather in the eyes, she spoke.
"Harry's friends think he's ignoring them because he's not speaking, and he's mad at them for calling me an idiot"
Lupin raised an eyebrow he'd been under the assumption that Harry had been silent for a while now, is he choosing to be silent?, or was it an event this summer that caused the quietness upon the young man.
"Harry, Do y- I mean can you speak or is it a choice you've made?"
Emerald green eyes looked up at him with a hurt expression, that made him inwardly flinch, a head of messy jet black hair burrowed into his sister's shoulder who was glaring at him as if he was all that was wrong in the world,she had a sadistic smile on her face and laughed a broken sarcastic laugh which reminded him a lot of Black.
"You really think." She paused as she spoke in a terrifying manner even Snape couldn't muster.
"My brother My sweet baby brother, would do this in a tantrum of some kind?, you think he chooses to be silent, how could you even begin to think that is beyond me, honestly?, I thought you were a good man Lupin"
With that he patted her brother on the back took his tea away from his hands and made to get up.
"Lillian wait, I didn't mean he Is I was just wondering if because of the argument previously, I mean because its only happened recently,maybe its painful for him to speak?"
Lillian pursed her lips, as if considering what he said then turned to the smaller boy on her arm.
"Harry Emerald?, it is painful for you to speak or can you just not, shake your head if you can't lil bro"
Harry shook his head, his emerald eyes glistening with tears not liking the topic they were on.
Harry felt a warm hand on his shoulder and looked up to see professor Lupins concerned honey-hazel eyes, he then glanved towards the clock before speaking.
"Look, its very late you both have classes tomorrow, maybe its time you went up to the dorms?"
Nodding, Harry slowly rose due to the fact his torso was tightly bandaged, he glanced at the Professor debating whether to say goodbye probably or not, In the end he decided to.
He flung himself at the professor who stumbled back in surprise before smiling warmly and returning the gesture, he gently kissed the top of the boys head, before holding him at arms length.
"Goodnight Harry sweet dreams"
Then Lillian decided it was here turn to say good night she wrapped her arms around the professor gently, and not quite as enthusiastic as Harry, She felt the professor kiss the top of her head before she too was held at arms length.
"Goodnight Lillian, Sweet dreams"
"Goodnight Remus, Sleep well"
And with that they departed the chambers.
Sup! Guys
A little shorter than usual, but that's because next chapter lessons will start how will the rest of the school as well as the teachers react to Harry, Including Snape!.
