Discovery, Secrets and A Bit of Magic
Chapter 6 – The Suicide
Remus was out for a walk around the lake, just a few days before the twins were due. He wished Harry was with him. He recalled that fateful day, just a few weeks ago.
- Flashback –
Remus arrived at Harry's house at four in the afternoon. He knew he must look strange, a man walking around a Muggle neighbourhood resembling a seven month pregnant woman.
He found the front door to be unlocked. That was the first sign something was up. He walked carefully into the house. Everything seemed normal. He called out.
"Harry, you left the front door open, do you know that?"
Silence. Lupin half expected Harry to pop out at the top of the stairs. But nothing. Just total silence.
"Harry? Harry!" Okay, this was just plain annoying. Where the hell was Harry? It wasn't like him to be so quiet. And it was Sunday, so he couldn't possibly be at work. He had to be at home.
He checked the kitchen. Nothing. The living room. Nothing. He went upstairs slowly. He checked the bedroom. Nothing. No Harry. Heaving a sigh, he went to the bathroom. He needed the toilet. The bathroom door was closed, but not locked. He turned the handle slowly. The sight that met his eyes when he opened the door nearly made him sick.
Harry, his dear, beloved Harry, was lying in the bath, his wrists slashed and covered in blood.
-End flashback-
Lupin sighed and continued to walk. Suddenly pain gripped him. He would have doubled over, if it wasn't for his huge stomach. Then it went away, almost as suddenly as it had come.
Right, he thought, time I got myself to Madam Pomfrey.
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter. I wanted the shortness of the chapter to reflect the tension building in the chapter.
