As I have already I was adopted with the age of 10 by the Lupin's. I didn't know why, during that time but I also didn't know how or why.  It didn't bother me during that time because I was just relieved to get away from there. But as one day (one week before Christmas holidays), Sirius and James started to talk about their families questions came up in my head.

8. Questions

"Remus are you going home for Christmas?" Sirius asked and I shrugged not really sure yet about my decision. I didn't know if I was welcome at the Lupin's house for Christmas, as I didn't know them yet very well. "And I thought you would like to come home for Christmas." A voice behind me said and I slowly turned around to look in Michael's smiling face. But it wasn't a happy smile and he was dressed totally in black, something must have happened. I hugged him and then Sirius smiled greeting Michael friendly. I just wanted to say something as Michael said, "Remus we need to talk, do you have any classes now?" I thought for one second, shook my head and replied, "No. Let me just get my things into the common room." Michael nodded saying he would meet me in ten minutes outside by the Quidditch pitch. I agreed and made my way to the common room with Sirius.

"You really like your father did you know that? Except for the eyes, his are brown your eyes are amber." Sirius said as we entered the common room. "You are the first one who ever says this." I whisper not having courage enough to tell him that he wasn't really my father. But that my father the worst person he would have ever met. Sirius looked at me suspiciously and patted me on the back saying, "Well you better be going. I'll meet you later on at dinner." I nodded and I quickly put my things in our dormitory and then I went to the Quidditch Pitch.

"That was quick." Michael said patting on the ground next to him for me to sit down. "There are some things that I need to talk about with Remus as I don't want to make any mistake like your mother did." What did she have to do with this? I thought I could forget her out of my life but as I see I can't. "But first of all I want to know what happened. Poppy said you are having nightmares and I want to know why." Michael said looking at me concerned. I didn't want to think about him, I wanted to get Jonathan Bones out of my life it was already enough that I had remember him every time I read my middle name. "It is because of my father…" I whispered, using father instead of Jonathan as that name wouldn't pass my lips. "There is something your mother never told you…Jonathan was never your father…I Am." I looked at him confused. How could he be my father? Nothing made sense anymore and I shook my head wanting to wake up from this dream. "Remus calm down please, I know this quite too much as once but it wouldn't be fair on keeping secrets from you." Michael said taking me into his arms comforting me. "How?" I asked looking up into his face.

"Well to make the story a bit quicker. Your mum and me were in love, but her parents promised her to Jonathan. She had to marry him because her family wanted and she had totally to forget about me. Well after you mother married him, they got Romulus your half brother. But she was still meeting me once in a while without Jonathan. And then one day you were born, but she never told me about and disguised you with a simple Polyjuice potion that would work for your whole life. I was never supposed to know that you were born, I was made believed that you are also Jonathans son and Jonathan also thought the same. But as you were bitten the potion failed and Jonathan found out. Your mother informed me and at first I didn't want to believe it. But as Jonathan also told me that I would never get see you once in my life, I informed the Ministry that something was wrong, and I wanted to be your Guardian. But the Ministry wasn't very cooperative, until one day Dumbledore appeared at my doorstep. Telling me that Romulus had talked to him about the story and Dumbledore helped me immediately." Michael explained and I hugged him tightly sobbing a little.

"There is still something else I need to tell you." Michael said and I could hear the sadness out of his voice this time. I nod and wait patiently for him to tell me what is wrong. "Something unexpected has happened…Catherine died two days ago giving birth to your little sister." He said and he held on tight like if he also didn't want to loose me. "And I could need your help over the holidays." He also says and I nod.

We both get up from the ground and start to make our way back to the castle. But just before we entered the safety of the walls he said, "I didn't let you answer my question earlier on completely. Why are you having nightmares of Jonathan?" "He hurt…me…" I sobbed starting to tell him everything what had happened during those three years. I started to tremble seeing everywhere Jonathans face even as I closed my eyes. Michael lifted me up trying to calm me down with his words that seemed to have an affect on me. Minutes later, I found myself lying in the Hospital wing. "Now try to sleep a little. I'll wait until you fall asleep." He whispered and I fell in a natural sleep, without any nightmares for once.
