A Father's Love

Chapter 10: Lonely Moon

~~***~~After Breakfast…~~***~~

Ron and Draco didn't particularly want to tell Harry about his Dad and Remus but the news would travel quickly and it seemed as if both adults had disappeared from the youth's sight.

"Umm… Harry… I think there is something you need to know." Draco started.

"Yeah what?" Harry asked curiously but completely unawares.

"Well you see… Merlin this is hard…" Draco stumbled.

"Harry your dad and… umm… dad they broke up…" Ron finished quickly.

"WHAT!!?? WHEN??" Harry yelled out excitedly the worry showing in his eyes.

"Last night is our best guess." Draco said quickly to not upset Harry further.

"And we didn't tell me earlier because???"

"Madam said we couldn't do anything to upset you… that you needed your sleep and well we thought this would upset you." Ron explained.

"Bloody hell…" Harry mumbled.

"Well… Remy was moving out so you won't feel uncomfortable now, when you visit Sev…" Ron said trying to cheer him up.

"That isn't the point… I may have been uncomfortable, but still he is our professor he's helped me with a whole load of things and most importantly Severus WAS happy with him… I don't understand it, I really just don't." Harry spilled slowly.

"Harry it I'll be alright." Draco said quickly, taking his friends hand.

"I know I know…" Harry gave a quick unsure smile and hugged Draco letting so after about five seconds. He then hugged Ron as well. "Thanks for not sugar coating anything for me." They both nodded and they went on with there Christmas break.

~~***~~ Sev's Rooms ~~***~~

"Dad… why were you and Remy fighting?" Harry asked after entering the room behind his father's chair.

"Good morning to you too." Sev said sipping a small cup of tea. Harry moved in front of his father.

"Well? Are you going to tell me or do I have to trick you into telling me?" Harry asked slightly peeved.

"It's none of your concern Harry. Leave it alone that's how you can help, because that's what I assume you want to do. Maybe on day Remus and I can get back together. Maybe we will stay apart for a while."

Harry glared at his father's calm outer shell, but his expression softened when his father's eyes grew tearful but he said nothing to bring the boy down. "Alright, I am gonna go now, Draco and I well you know." Harry said in his regular voice leaving is a slight hurry.

~~***~~One and a half years later…~~***~~

"This year is gonna be great!" Draco exclaimed at the end of his fifth year returning to Snape manor with Harry and Severus.

"That's right… but all I want to do now is rest… I would say that the OWLS were far too much study and private time." Harry smiled at Draco.

"Boys… no horse play got it." Sev said recognizing the looks in the boys' eyes and knowing full well he could not stop what was coming next if it already hadn't occurred.
