Oh yeah, and thank you so much for taking the time to write me reviews, because it means the world to me! Thank you so much, and see you next time, baiiiiiiiiiii!
The Real Deal
Chapter 4-A Different Point of View
Remus (POV)
My life isn't as simple as everyone thinks it is. There are so many complicated things in my life. Things that are unfair. Things that are scary. Things that just don't make sense. But mostly I think my life is just plain sad.
I became a werewolf when I was a mere child. Got to go to Hogwarts, and met 3 wonderful friends. Of course there were many complications back then too, but I could find happiness when I was in Hogwarts with my friends. Those were the happy days. But soon we left school, and we had to fight. Friends died. There were dark times. But still the only fact that kept me going those days, were my friends. Then, like a blow to the face, they all left.
After that I vowed to never get too close. That was the reason I kept such a distance from Harry and Nymphadora for so long. I didn't want them to die, or go because of me. At that time, I wondered if my life was cursed. If I was cursed. Those were the worst days. Then, one day like an unexpected sun, on a rainy day, Sirius came back.
At that time I was delighted. I finally had gotten my friend back. With that energy, I started bonding with Harry, and bonding back with Sirius. Then, like death comes, Sirius had left once more, and I was all alone again. Those days I tried to keep myself busy. I didn't want to face the fact that Sirius had died. Part of me even wanted to forget it. Forget it all. It was too much facing the pain. Then, Nymphadora came into the picture.
At first, I wasn't sure what to do. But soon we got married, and I forgot about the vow. When I had realized the mistake I had made, I had tried to run away, but Harry stopped me. He showed me how important family was. How I should keep my family safe. How family comes first no matter what. And that was why I had joined Dumbledore instead of Harry in the end. To protect my family.
Tonks (POV)
When I had woken up, I was tied up to a chair, and my wand was gone. I struggled to get out of the bonds, but it was impossible. As I continued to struggle, Remus came into the room.
"How could you do this? Do you care about me at all? About us? About Harry?" I demanded to know.
Remus flinched at the tone of my voice, but answered, "Of course! How could you ask me that? That's why I'm doing this. For us. For Teddy. For our future."
"And Harry? Are you just abandoning him? Really Remus? Really?" Tonks said, still in that demanding tone.
Remus pulled out a chair, and sat down, running his hand through his hair. "Look Dora," Remus started to say, but Tonks interrupted shouting, "You're just leaving him? How could you?"
Remus massaged his temples saying, "It's for the best. Harry would do the same if he was in my position. And Harry was the one that told me that family comes first.
"Harry is family," I persisted, "And it doesn't matter who would do it if they were in your position. It matters what you do. Not what anyone else might do."
"I was hoping you could assist me, on a mission that I'm supposed to do. I guess I was wrong," Remus said.
And taking a swig of something from a flask, Remus started to transform. When he was done, he looked just like I did. He had taken Polyjuice Potion with my hair inside.
"I...How…" I stuttered.
"I'm sorry Dora," Remus apologized, "I'm doing this for us. For Teddy."
And with that he left.
