Chapter 25 - Everything is Wonderful
Suffie wrote back to Remus saying it was okay if she stayed with him. He said he would come visit her for the day and then they could floo back to his house. He didn't exactly know what was going on, Suffie had only said she was having 'problems' and was with her brother, never how bad they were exactly. Thatz was still sitting on the couch his feet up on the table in front of him. He was watching a small muggle television Orion had found and inhaling a plate of food.
"You better eat that quicker then you already are, it might run away from you," Suffie teased.
"Funny," Thatz said with his mouth full. He sighed while flipping through the channels. He clicked it off, tossing the controller onto the table and stretching out on the couch.
"Need a blanket?" Suffie asked.
"No," He said simply.
"Pillow?" She asked again.
"Listen. I'm fine, your fine, we're all bloody fine. I'll be back later," He said and left. She noticed Orion had left also, a few hours after Thatz had.
"Yeah, everything is just wonderful now," Suffie said to herself. Suffie went into Orion's room and laid on the bed reading a book, like she had been before. A few hours past, she sighed and changed into her pajamas. She turned the light off, while getting under the covers and falling asleep.
Suffie woke up as sunlight from the window beamed over her face. She stretched and rolled over.
"What is -he- doing here?" she heard Thatz say groggily.
"Er...Suffie said it was okay," Remus said. 'Remus?' She thought. She remembered he was coming over today and ran out to see him.
"Remus!" She said and smiled. She ran up and hugged him. Thatz rolled his eyes, muttered a bit and stalked off a bit oddly into the bathroom.
"I made breakfast," Orion said holding up a pan of charred eggs.
"Hey Remus, want to go get breakfast some where else?" Suffie quickly said. Remus nodded and Suffie went into Orion's room to change. She brushed her hair and put on light green jumper with black turtle neck underneath it, and some tight, faded flare jeans. She shrugged as she noticed one of the knees on her jeans was blown out and she slipped on some shoes and put on some light makeup.
"Okay, we'll be back later!" She said as they started to walk out.
"Bring back some edible food!" Orion called out as she began to shut the door behind her.
Suffie poked at her muffin while watching the light snowfall outside of the Leaky Cauldron window.
"So, what's going on?" Remus asked casually.
"Oh, not to much. Can't wait till Christmas, can you?" Suffie said. A waitress came over with some tea for both of them. She set it down on the table with some cups. Suffie finally recognized her as Candice Caine.
"Hello, aren't you going out with my brother, Thatz?" Suffie asked.
"Oh, you must be Suffie. I work here during vacation. I was going out with him, we broke up last night...is he doing alright?" Candice asked.
"He seemed fine, he hadn't even told me you broke up this mourning," Suffie said.
"He didn't take it well, but I meant if he was okay from last night. He got awfully wasted. He just wouldn't stop drinking, I had to get Orion to help me," Candice said upset and then walked away from the table.
"I..is something wrong?" Remus asked.
"No, she must have been mistaken...Let's go walk about Diagon alley," Suffie said and tugged on Remus's arm.
(flashback/change of p.o.v kind of)
Orion watched Thatz snap at Suffie and then storm off. 'Dad must be getting to him' He thought. Orion went and sat down on the couch, watching some television while Suffie had picked up a book. He heard a knock on the door after a few hours. Suffie didn't notice over the noise of the t.v. He got up and opened the door, a girl in the Leaky Cauldron waitress uniform pulled him out into the hall. He shut the door behind him.
"C...can I help you?" Orion asked confused. The blonde girl burst into tears.
"I can't get Thatz to stop, come make him stop," She said.
"Excuse me? What are you talking about? Who are you?" Orion asked. The girl wiped a tear off with her thumb.
"I'm Candice Caine, Thatz girlfriend. He's at the Leaky Cauldron and he's had so much to bloody drink, and he just won't stop!" She said worriedly. Orion let out a long sigh.
"Okay, I'll go," He said and followed Candice to the Leaky Cauldron. Thatz had his head down on the bar table, he was sitting on a stool and only brought his head up to take a shot of firewhiskey and ask for another.
"Boy, you've had enough," The bartender said wiping his hands off on a towel.
"Fine, then I'll go somewhere else!" Thatz yelled throwing his glass down on the table, it broke in his hand which soon started to bleed where it was cut. The bartender threw his towel at Thatz, and told him to wrap it around his hand. Thatz clumsily obeyed.
"Can't wait till someone comes and get you," He muttered while giving Thatz another shot. Orion walked up to him and grabbed the shot out of Thatz hand, he put it down on the counter and started to tug Thatz off the bar stool. That swatted Orion's hand off him.
"Come on Thatz, time to get going," Orion said.
"No," Thatz answered as if Orion was crazy, and reached for the shot. Orion pulled it away some more.
"Might as well let him have it, most likely it will knock him out he's had so ma..." the bartender started but before he could finish Thatz had snatched the shot glass from Orion.
"I'm perfectly fine..." He slurred then stumbled a bit and fell unconscious on Orion. Orion stumbled to support Thatz weight but finally managed it.
"That's for watching him, and not letting him leave," Orion mumbled and supported Thatz back toward his flat. After a while he finally managed to get all the way back. Orion peeked his head into the room, Suffie was no where in sight. He laid Thatz down on the couch and pulled a blanket over him.
"This is just great..." Orion sighed and then walked into his bedroom. Suffie was asleep, he quietly got his clothing and tiptoed out. He went into the kitchen and started to brew a hangover potion to help Thatz tomorrow morning.
"Okay, how about we make dinner in a little so Orion doesn't ruin it again and then do you want to go stay at your house or here?" Suffie asked as they walked down the cobble stone street. Remus put his arm around her waist.
"I'll owl my parents and we can stay here, I don't think your ready to leave," Remus said.
"And why the bloody not? Everything is fine Remus," Suffie stated. He looked at her out of the corner of his eye but didn't say anything. They walked into Orion's flat.
"How's Thatz?" Suffie asked.
"Uh, he's feeling a bit under the weather...he's asleep on the couch with a headache, but I'm sure it'll go away, I gave him a potion for it," Orion stuttered.
"Good wouldn't want him sick," Suffie said very loud over the couch. Thatz groaned, but if Candice was right and he had a hangover, Suffie didn't care. "Hey Orion, may I see you a minute in your room?"
"Um sure," He said and gave Thatz the potion. Remus stood by the door awkwardly as Suffie went into he next room.
"So..." Orion said.
"He was drunk?" Suffie squeaked.
"Just a little bit!" Orion said flustered.
"That prat, I'll kill him," Suffie said lunging for the door. Orion held heer back.
"This is my fault. None of us have really talked about this yet...like we should have," Orion said. Suffie grabbed her bag and shoved all her stuff in it.
"No, we don't need to. I'm leaving!" She shouted, while walking out. She slammed the door behind her causing Orion to flinch.
"How can you smile with all those tears in your eyes, Suf?" Orion said to himself.
"Come on Remus, we're leaving," She said and led him out the door.
Suffie and Remus stepped out of the fireplace and into the kitchen. Remus's mother stood there, chopping up vegetables at the counter.
"Oh, Remus. I wasn't expecting you. And this must be Suffie, pleased to meet you dear!" She said and gave them both a hug.
"Pleased to meet you too, Mrs. Lupin," Suffie said. Remus's mother was short, Remus taller then her, but still an inch or two above Suffie. She had curly brown hair a little past her shoulders, and honey colored eyes like Remus.
"Remus, why don't you help Suffie to the guest room so she can get settled?" She said. Remus nodded and started to walk away with Suffie. They walked up a stair case and finally came to a door. Remus led Suffie in.
"This is the guest room, my room is right across," He said.
"Thanks," Suffie said, setting her bag down.
"It's snowing out," Remus observed, while looking out the window. "Want to go outside?"
"Sure," Suffie smiled and grabbed Remus hand as they ran downstairs. Suffie giggled as they did.
"If your going out, dress warmly!" Remus's mother said.
"Yes mum," Remus said back. He pulled on some boots, a large jacket, a hat, and some gloves. Then he got Suffie some also and the headed out the door.
"Isn't it great outside?" She said and twirled around laughing. Remus watched her and smiled. Suffie looked at him then snapped him out of his daze by throwing some snow from the ground at him.
"Hey, no fair," Remus complained and grabbed some snow. The started throwing snow at each other till Remus tackled Suffie to the ground. He rolled off her and laid in the snow beside her.
"Will you tell me what wrong yet?" He asked her while playing with a piece of her hair.
"Nothing is wrong I already told you," Suffie said.
"What happened to trusting each other, remember when I told you about what I am and about Sirius and Jame's nicknames?" Remus said.
"Well, this is my problem Remus," Suffie said.
"And being a werewolf isn't my problem?" Remus asked.
"This is different!" Suffie yelled.
"No, it's not," Remus said calmly "It's exactly the same. Is it your dad? Why were you at Orion's? I thought you were staying at your house," Remus said.
"Remus, stop it!" Suffie yelled. She stood up and so did he.
"Why can't you tell me!" Remus argued. She shoved him away from her, but he kept his balance. Suffie turned and ran inside.
Suffie took off her coat and boots. Then walked inside more.
"Oh, hello dear," Remus's mother said. She noticed Suffie's shaken look and figured that her and Remus were fighting, since Remus wasn't with her. She gave Suffie a smile. "Would you like to help me finish with dinner?"
"Sure, Mrs. Lupin," Suffie said and gave a weak smile back as they went into the kitchen. Suffie was helping set the table, when Remus walked in. He took of his jacket and boots and then walked upstairs. She heard someone else walk in a little while after Remus.
"Hello honey," Said the man as he gave Remus's mother a kiss on the cheek. Suffie figured it was Remus's father.
"Hello, how was work dear?" Mrs. Lupin asked.
"Good, good, Oh who is this now?" He said when he saw Suffie.
"This is Suffie Moon, Remus's girlfriend from Hogwarts," Mrs. Lupin said.
"How did that boy manage to get a girlfriend?" Mr. Lupin joked. "Nice to meet you Suffie," He said and held out his hand.
"Nice to meet you too," Suffie said and shook his hand warily. She always had problem with adult males since her father, she knew it was silly though and tried her best not to show it.
"Where is Remus, did he just leave you alone here?" Mr. Lupin laughed.
"He's upstairs, I just wanted to help with dinner," Suffie said.
"Which is ready now. Suffie, dear, do you want to get Remus or shall I?" Mrs. Lupin asked.
"I will," Suffie said and started upstairs. She walked into Remus's room, he was on his bed.
"Remus it's dinner," Suffie stated.
"Fine..." Remus said and walked past her down the stairs.
Dinner had turned out good, Remus still wasn't talking to Suffie though. After dinner he went straight to his room. Suffie took a shower and then went to bed.
-"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.-
-"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 slightly. 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.-
-"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.-
Suffie woke up in a cold sweat as she started to dream of the times her father had hit her and hurt her. She crept out of bed and softly walked out and toward Remus's room. She peeked in from the door. He was laying in his bed but staring at the ceiling, obviously awake. Suffie walked in shutting the door behind her and climbed into his bed, she wrapped her arms around him and sobbed into his shoulder. Remus let out a sigh.
"Tell me what's wrong?" Remus asked.
"Thatz and my dad. And he's gone, and we're with Orion. Thatz getting drunk because what he did to dad, and I can't stop dreaming and...and...things are changing..." She said all in one breath her eyelids fluttered shut and she quickly fell into a deep sleep. Remus yawned and then closed his eyes.
"Everything will be wonderful someday, you'll see," Remus mumbled as he fell asleep.
