Chapter 22- Do I have to go home?
Suffie leaned her head against the window while looking out at the trees passing by quickly. She sighed and turned to Remus.
"We're almost there," He said to her. They were alone in the compartment, Lindsey and Sirius had dismissed themselves, not saying were they were going.
"Great," Suffie said sarcastically.
"Don't go, come stay with me!" Remus said.
"I can't..." Suffie said. The train came to a stop as they finally arrived.
"Fine but owl me a lot, and take care, okay?" Remus said.
"Of course," Suffie laughed and gave him a kiss on the lips. They said goodbye as Remus left with his parents. Suffie walked around till she finally found Thatz.
"How are we getting home?" She asked him.
"Dad said he'd pick us up, we both know that would never happen, so we can take a cab. I have some muggle money around here somewhere," Thatz said as he rummaged through his pockets.
They finally got a cab and gave the driver instructions to their house.
"Do we have to go home," Suffie whined.
"Yes, its not for long though," Thatz said and smiled. "Besides me and Orion got you presents, but maybe you don't want them..." He teased. Suffie smiled but it faded as they came up to their house. Suffie stepped out of the cab and walked up to the house. Thatz paid the driver and followed her.
Suffie stomped into the house, Thatz walked grimly behind her. She passed the living room shaking her head and rolling her eyes at the sight of her father drinking and watching television.
"Thanks for picking us up from the train station," She said angrily.
"Vacuum the house Suffie, it really needs it," She heard him mumble, and then she heard the click of the opening of another beer can. She walked into the living room, kicking a beer can across the room and stepping on another one.
"Do it yourself, it's -your- mess," She said.
"I don't want to hear it. Start cleaning, now," He said, raising his voice, eyes never leaving the television screen. Suffie ignored him and stomped up the stairs to her bedroom, slamming the door shut behind her. She ignored the yells of not to slam the door coming from downstairs. Her door opened and Thatz stepped in.
"Thatz just go, okay?" She said shoving him out of her room and locking the door. Her house was small and slightly broken down. The outside was a mess but was yellow with white stutters. There was a downstairs and upstairs, all the floors wooden, cracked, and worn. None of the walls were painted, they were all white.
Suffie had the smallest bedroom, Thatz and Orion had shared one before he left. She had turquoise bed sheets and there were still some stuffed animals left on her bed from when she was younger.
She threw her black shoulder pack on her bed, she had only packed a small bag not wanting to stay long. She walked over to her stereo and turned it on. It was a song by Res called 'They Say Vision". Suffie collapsed onto her bed and stared up at the dull ceiling. (AN: yeah, I know the song doesn't fit with the time period but...er...it's a good song? It's not really my type of music but I still liked the song Lol)
'I wanna try that pill that people take
Make you believe all the things that people say
Sick of shuckin' 'round with a screwed up face
With my heels dug in trying to leave a trace
Now come on put me down somehow
How you lose your faith
Just take my hand and lead me where you wanna'
She heard shouting down stairs. 'Probably him and Thatz,' she thought and buried her face into a pillow to drown out the noise.
'Pay no more mind to what you think you've seen
It's as they do only
Say what they say
'Cause there's only one way
They-Say Vision
It takes you back to just where you want
Like when you ain't know no way,' the music on the radio continued.
She heard loud footsteps coming up the stairs along with ones she recognized as her brothers. The fighting could still be heard over her music. She sat up hugging the pillow. 'Why can't he leave us alone and go back to watching T.v.,' She thought.
'Industry's down think I've died and I've flown away
So so long to them thieves who came and took all the things to say
I play the joker sometimes but then those moments slide back my way
'Cause for real I'd give my soul away
Give it all away
So take my hand and lead me where you wanna,'
"Turn that blasted radio off!" She heard her father yell as he jingled the door handle. She had locked it though so it wouldn't open.
"Sod off!" She shouted back throwing the pillow at the door. She screamed quickly as her father put all his weight against the old door and it collapsed open. She jumped to her feet as he went over and knocked the radio off her stand, it fell to the ground and the music stopped. She yelped as he pushed her and she fell to the floor in the corner. She hit the wall hard. Thatz went over to stop him but got shoved away. They watched as their father took a gun from his pocket. Suffie's eyes went wide, so did Thatz. He cocked the gun back but Thatz tackled him. Suffie screamed as they tumbled on the floor. There was one gun shot, then two. Her lower lip trembled as she started to cry. Thatz sat up on his knees the gun in his hand. He looked at the gun and neither moved. He threw the gun across the room and flinched. The gun hit a mirror which shattered and he grabbed his shoulder which was now bleeding. Suffie pushed herself off the ground using the wall as support. She clutched her right arm which had began to hurt.
"Is he..." Suffie stuttered. The radio turned on and began to play though it was staticy.
'I know where they all go find someplace
Where they don't mind loafing about the waste
They-Say Vision takes you back to where no conscience
Free from how you really see
And if you think that you know
Take the back road
They got you where they want
They got you,'
They both looked at it and then at each other. Thatz looked away from her and got up. He started to walk downstairs. "W...what are you doing?" She said and stumbled after him.
"Contacting the ministry," He said in a gruff voice.
Some workers from the ministry had taken Thatz to St. Mungos, he had gotten shot in the shoulder. It had really only grazed his shoulder though but it still needed to be taken care of. Suffie was sitting on the counter in the kitchen with other ministry worker. She had explained everything.
"Thatz isn't in trouble, right? He was only protecting me and himself..." Suffie rambled nervously.
"No, calm down. The only problem for you two is where your going to stay. Do you have any relatives?" The worker asked.
"No, no one. Is Thatz going to be okay?" She said.
"He'll be fine. If there's no one then you'll have to get foster parents," The worker said.
"What? No way! There's Orion! My other older brother!" Suffie exclaimed. He looked at her a moment.
"I'll look into it," He said and then left. There was a loud bang, sounding like another gun shot. Suffie flinched but Orion appear, it had only been him apparating there. She ran to him and flung her arms around him crying. He calmed her down a bit.
"Can we go see Thatz? He must be so upset" She said.
"Later, I promise," He said. He walked out of the room and started to talk with some people from the ministry.
"Okay, go get your things we're leaving. Get Thatz's also, and hurry up with it," Orion said. Suffie nodded and ran upstairs. They flooed to Diagon Alley and Orion led her to his flat.
"It's not much..." He said as they walked in.
"It's nice, a bit small though," Suffie said. There was a nice little kitchen that split into the living room, and two doors. One to the bed room the other a bathroom.
"You can out your stuff in my room, I'll sleep on the couch tonight," He explained.
"Thanks," Suffie said, "Can we go see Thatz yet?"
"No, not yet. Sorry," Orion said.
"I'm going to go take a nap then," Suffie mumbled and shut herself in Orion's room.
"Er...I guess I'll make some dinner then," He said to himself. Suffie leaned against the window sill watching people busy down in the street below her. She reached out and touched the light snow on the overhang under the window sill. She looked around the room. There was a bed, a small book case, and a desk with an owl in a cage in the corner. It was Orion's owl Rune. It was a large, sleek, black owl, much less ditzy then her own, Twink, who was still at her house. She sat down in the chair at the desk and rummaged through his things to find some parchment and a quill. She quickly scrawled a letter to Remus and sent it with Orion's owl. She walked out of his room. Orion was leaned over the counter poking a dish of funny looking food with the tip of his wand.
"Uh...I'm not a very good cook," he said running a hand through his blonde hair in frustration.
"Not so perfect now, huh," Suffie teased. Orion was always the best at school, Head Boy when he was there even.
"Funny," He said sarcastically and rummaged through the fridge. He quickly put together two sandwiches and placed them in bags.
"Why are you putting them in bags?" Suffie asked.
"So we can floo and visit Thatz," Orion smiled.
"Finally!" Suffie said taking a sandwich and pulling Thatz out of the flat to the closest fire place.
After an hour of waiting a medi-witch came out of Thatz room and let Suffie and Orion in.
"He's fine, he wasn't very badly hurt and with a little magic...he can go now," The medi-witch said and smiled. "He has to drink a teaspoon of this twice a day for a few weeks though and make sure he keeps a clean bandage on that shoulder." She gave Orion a blue bottle and walked away. Thatz was sitting up on a bed with a tray of tasty looking food on his lap. Suffie sat on the edge of her bed looking at Thatz food and then her own sloppily made sandwich.
"How come he gets the edible food," Suffie whined.
"Oh no, were staying with him! Well, I guess this is my last meal then," Thatz said glumly. Suffie had begun to eat some of the food off Thatz plate.
"Thanks you two," Orion said "Can we go now?"
"Fine, fine," Thatz said finishing off his plate.
When they got back to Orion's apartment Rune was perched on the counter with a letter. Suffie squealed and took it off the owls leg and opened it. She read through it quickly.
"Would it be a total diss to you two if I went and stayed with Remus?" Suffie said.
"Well, I guess not, there isn't much room here anyway," Orion said. Thatz was already rummaging through the fridge. "You just ate!" Orion said.
"Hey, who here got shot today! Me, therefore I can eat as much as I like!" Thatz said.
"They said it grazed your shoulder, not went through your head Thatz," Orion said.
"Well...it still hurt!" Thatz said with a mouth full of food.
"You guys I feel funny," Suffie said as she sat down on the counter top.
"About what? Leaving us here? It's not that big a deal..." Orion said.
"No, not that, that I don't feel upset or anything, I mean...dad is...is" Suffie said.
"Yeah, well you didn't kill him did you..." Thatz muttered and went sat on the couch. Suffie stayed silent a moment and then walked away into Orion's room to write to Remus.
Hmmm...I dunno if I liked the length of that one, I wish it was longer...and I thought it skipped to much but it could just be me and I was told it was good so yeah, lol please review. Next chapter will be Sirius and Lindsey and then James and Lily and then back to Suffie and Remus and so on. Hope you all like though it lacked fluffyness lol. Oh and I know that they don't seem upset yet, but its because well it has to sink in first...it'll work out really lol. Arg, I think I'm getting sick, I really don't feel good, I'll try to get the next chapter out soon though...
