Remus pulled out of his father's arms and broke down in tears. Lyall, however, pulled his son in for another hug which everyone saw. "F…Father…...I'm…" Remus tried to speak but the tears in his eyes stopped him for doing so. So, Lyall hugged him tightly.
"Shh, its ok Remus. It's ok. I'm not mad…and I know your sorry. Do you want to get something to eat and then go back home?" Remus nodded still crying but Lyall did not care.
"Father, um, that would be great," Remus said as he pulled his father out of his arms and wiped the tears from his eyes. Lyall smiled and nodded to the officers.
"Thank you so much," Lyall said as he and Remus walked out. Remus smiled when the got to the car. "Alright, let's go then," Remus nodded as his father opened the door for him. Remus then got in and was shocked to see Romulus sitting next to him.
"Rom?" Remus asked as he looked at Romulus. Romulus smiled and said:
"Hello Rem., Long time no see," Remus laughed and smiled but he did not say anything as the car started to move. "I'm glad to see you. you grew up," Romulus added as he looked to the boy that he knew all though years ago. Remus just smiled for he was feeling guilty. However, after a while Remus said:
"I think I was already grown up when you saw me last Rom," after Remus said this, he looked out the window with a sigh.
Dinner was quiet. Remus liked that, for he was avoiding talking to his father about what happened. So, Remus took this time to think about what to say to his old friend Romulus. However, Romulus spoke to him before he could think of anything to say. "Are you happy to be home?" Remus wished that he did not ask this but then again, Remus was happy. Remus sighed and nodded.
"Yes, Rom. It's weird though. To be home with father and a new life really," Remus took a breath and added: "What happened to you after you, I saved you? Can I ask that?" there was fear in Remus's voice, but Romulus did not care. Romulus nodded and thought for a moment before he answered then he said:
"I went to look for my brother. I'm still looking for him," Remus looked at his friend shocked.
"You have a brother?" Remus asked as he tried to hide the shock and shakiness in his voice, but he was failing at it. Lyall heard this but he did not say anything to his son as he went back to talk to Mr. Potter. Romulus, however, did not hear it so he simply nodded and said:
"Yes, I still can't find him. In fact, after we eat. I was going to look for him again. Remus's eyes lit up and he asked:
"Can I help?" Remus's voice was filled with hope, but he knew that he was stretching this out a little too much. Romulus smiled and looked at Lyall who was not listening to them. Romulus smiled and slowly nodded a little. Then he said:
"That would be great Rem. However, I think you might want to be with your dad and not with me on a chase that might end badly," Remus nodded in understanding which Romulus did not see coming then he stood up and said: "Well, I should get going. Thank you, Mr. Potter," Ben nodded as well as Lyall and watched Romulus leave.
Sirius was with his brother as they ate. Things were quiet which was rare, but Sirius did not care. It wasn't until Alexander walked up to them with a smile on his face. "Hey guys," Alexander said with a smile as he sat down. Sirius smiled at him and nodded but he said nothing.
"What's up?" Sirius asked as he looked at Regulus who was too busy to notice. It took a while for Alexander to say anything as if he was scared or worried. Sirius knew this because of the fact that he was not eating, and Sirius does not eat when he was nervous. Alexander sighed and said:
"I just found out that I have an older brother," Sirius looked at him with a smile.
"That's great, right. I mean when he finds you, you can live with him right?" Regulus said much to Sirius surprise at how soft his little brother spoke. Regulus smiled and then went back to his food not caring anymore. Sirius nodded and sighed.
"Reg is right Alex; you have someone that cares for you. If I found out that we had another brother back when we were with our 'parents'," Sirius used air quotes as he trailed off then sighed again before he sighed and added:
"I would go with him," Alex smiled and nodded then he looked behind him for some reason then he said:
"What if he does not like me?" Sirius sighed and then nodded slowly. However, before he could open his mouth to tell him that he will not because he was his brother when a man walked up to Alex.
"Alex, can I see you please?" Alex nodded slowly and said:
"Ok, sir. I'll see you later guys," Sirius nodded and watched as Alex and this man walk away.
Remus was happy to be home in the living room along with his new family. However, James would not stop kicking the ball around the room when he was trying to read and while the adults were watching the tv. "James don't kick the ball in the house," his father warned making Remus smile behind the book that he was reading.
"Yeah James," Remus muttered under his breath as he laughed a little. Lyall heard this and smiling knowing that Remus is getting a little better.
"Will you shut it, Remus," James said laughing a little and picked up the ball. "Come on dad, while can't I play ball in the house. I won't damage anything. I'm the football king," James said with a very cocky voice. The Potters and Lyall rolled their eyes while Remus laughed again as he turned the page in his book and then smiled a little.
"Oh yes, the great James Potter. Won't break anything in his house with his ball," Remus said in a sarcastic voice. James rolled his eyes. Then he laughed as he sat down and looked at the book that Remus was reading.
"What are you reading anyway?" he asked Remus who turned another page. Then Remus looked at him and said:
"Jekyll and Hyde. Dad picked it up for me after he took me out to ear," Remus turned another page and smiled to himself. However, James sighed and said:
"How can you have fun reading? I mean, what's the point of it?" James said as he kicked the ball once more. This made Mrs. Potter give him a look.
"James. Listen to your father. Stop kicking that ball. Do you understand?" James rolled his eyes and looked at Remus who went back to reading. In fact, that's what all his mind is on at the moment and no one could get him out of this mindset. Lyall sighed and went back to his mind that was swimming with questions about what happened to his son and how can he help him get through this.
Remus was in his room when a boy walked in. "Hello, are you new here?" the boy asked Remus. Remus looked at him. He looked flamer but he could not place it. The boy was about his age, with his long black hair and hunted look in his gray eyes made him look older. Remus raised an eyebrow at this boy and reached over to his cane that was by his bed.
"Um, I think you got the wrong house mate. This is the house that my father and I live in. Why are you here?" Remus asked as he pulled the blanket off of him and swung his legs over the edge. The boy also raised an eyebrow and said:
"I don't think so. They said that your father died yesterday. He was looking for you, but he died trying. They said that you don't have a mother either," Remus looked at him with tears in his eyes.
"What…. what do you mean?" Remus asked as he dropped the cane and looked at this boy however, he walked to the door and said:
"I guess we can hope for a better life together then," after he said this, he walked out of the room leaving a crying Remus behind.
"Father? He's…. he's dead? Why…. why did I go with the other boys when I had a change?" Remus asked with tears in his eyes. Remus sat there on the edge of the bed for a while with tears in his eyes. He was so lost in his sad thoughts that he did not hear the knock on the door.
"Hello cub," Remus froze and slowly looked to the door. However, his vision was blurry from the tears in his eyes. "Did you miss me?" Remus stared at him. He wanted to run but he could not because his cane fell to the floor and rolled under the bed.
"Um…..." Remus said as he looked to the window. Then he called: "H…..." but this was all that came out of his throat because Greyback put his hand over his mouth.
"Come, cub," Remus did not move as Greyback picked up Remus and walked out the door.
