Probably the shortest one I've ever done. No song for this chapter, sorry. xD


The day had been a peaceful one. Remus had been sitting at the table, reading the paper with a cup of hot tea, and occasionally glancing at Sirius, who paced the confines of the kitchen, an expression Remus couldn't read on his face.
"Why don't you sit down? I'm sure Harry will write to you again." Remus' voice was soft and gentle, knowing how much Sirius worried about his godson, especially with the Ministry interfering at Hogwarts. Sirius threw himself in the chair beside Remus, and the latter set down his paper. He gently rubbed the back of Sirius' hand. "He's a brave boy, a strong boy..."
"I know." Sirius mumbled. "But..." He was silenced with a gentle finger laid across his lips.
"He'll be okay." Remus leaned over and kissed Sirius' forehead. "How about I fix you a cup of tea?"
A silent nod was all of Sirius' consent, and the rest of the afternoon and evening was spent in silent comfort, with Remus coaxing conversation out of Sirius gently, trying to get his mind off of worrying over things he had no control over.
