AN: Read and review!!! Here it is:
Chapter 2
The next morning, Remus woke and looked down at Harry. 'He looks just as he did as a baby when he slept," Remus reflected to himself, 'so peaceful and innocent, like everything is right in the world.' Remus carefully extracted himself from the couch and laid Harry's head on a pillow and covered him with a blanket. He went into the kitchen and put on a pot of coffee, rubbing his eyes as he walked. The talk last night seemed to have alleviated his nightmares a bit. He had a dream last night about Sirius, but it was a good dream about when they were at Hogwarts together with James. He sat by the window deep in thought about this, staring out into the early morning sky, for several minutes.
"Good morning Remus," Harry said as he walked into the kitchen looking half asleep still with his already messy hair, even messier.
"Oh good morning Harry, I didn't see you come in," Remus replied, shaken out of his contemplations. "Would you like some tea? You are probably still too young for coffee."
Harry chuckled for a second.
"What's so funny?" Remus asked with a grin on his face.
"I'm not old enough to drink coffee, but I am old enough to have already fought the most powerful dark wizard five times?" Harry said with another chuckle, well aware of how dark a subject it was. "Remus, I'm sixteen years old, I think I might be old enough to have one cup."
"Alright, but just one," Remus said, mocking being stern and serious. A grin broke out on both if their faces and continued to talk for several more minutes.
"So, what would you like to do today Harry?" Remus asked Harry with a curious look on his face.
"I say we take a walk around London. I never really got the chance to see it before, the Dursleys wouldn't take me," Harry said.
"Alright, then London it is," Remus replied. "I can't believe they would never take you to London. There is an Order meeting tonight, but whatever we don't see today, we will definitely do it another day." They went into London and saw all of the historic sites that Harry had surprisingly wanted to see for quite some time after hearing about them in primary school.
"You never had any school trips to see any of these places?" Remus asked curiously.
"I did have them, but Uncle Vernon would never let me go on them, because he said I didn't deserve to go on them and that I would spoil everyone's time here," Harry replied with a disgusted look on his face as he mentioned Uncle Vernon.
"Of course you deserve to come here and enjoy what other normal children do. Also, you haven't spoiled this trip in the slightest bit, I am enjoying your company very much," Remus told Harry with a sincere look on his face.
"Thanks Remus," Harry said grinning. Remus grinned back at him.
'Oh I wish I could tell you Harry. I've wanted to for so long. Please forgive me,' Remus though to himself sadly. Remus just put an arm around Harry and they continued down the street to the next stop.
They got back late that evening just before the Order meeting. Harry and Remus walked in the door of 12 Grimmauld Place and put their package onto the kitchen table. Harry had bought books about the various historic places they visited, a fact that surprised them both since Harry was never much of a reader. Just then, Snape walked into the kitchen, and when he saw them, he sneered at them and looked down at the packages they had brought home.
"Quite the reader, Lupin, as always," Snape said with venom.
"Actually Professor, they're mine," Harry replied with the same amount of venom.
"Like father, like son," Snape said while looking up at Remus. With that, he left the room, his robes billowing behing him like a mysterious breeze.
"What did he mean by that?" Harry asked curiously, knowing that James Potter barely even read the books that were assigned to him in school.
"Nothing," Remus said a little too quickly. Harry caught that and looked into his eyes and could tell he was lying.
"Remus, I know you too well to know that you are lying," Harry said, starting to get angry at all of the lies he has been told.
Knowing he wasn't going to be able to lie any further,
"Harry, can we discuss this right after the meeting, I need to talk to Dumbledore before I discuss this further with you," Remus said with a slight pleading in his voice.
"No, because then you guys will come up with more lies to tell me and except me to believe!" Harry said with a loud, angry voice. Remus let out a deep sigh, not wanting to do this at all.
"Harry, you need to calm down in order for me to tell you this," Remus reasoned. Harry realized he needed to give Remus a break, since he hadn't let him get a word in yet.
What is the big secret? Stay tuned for chapter 3. Hope you liked it! Read and review!!!!
