Chapter Fifteen: Whiskey Bar

Another glass of whiskey would hit the spot. He signaled the waitress and she looked at him disapprovingly.

"Another over here please," he asked wearily. She sighed and came over to him.

"Don't you think you've had enough for tonight?" she asked lightly as she poured out the glass. He stared blankly ahead.

"I can never drink enough to drown my sorrows," he said softly. She sighed. She had seen so many men come in here and drink their lives away. At least he said please. She studied him for a moment. With his gray hair and shabby clothing, he looked like a bum, but there was something in his eyes that told her that he was more than that. The door opened and she looked up. A young man had entered. He looked around for a moment and then his eyes rested upon the older man. She figured they had something going on, so she nudged Remus' hand.

"I think someone is here to see you," she whispered. He blinked and looked around. Chris. His son…perhaps…

"Mind if I sit?" he asked. Remus shrugged.

"Whatever you want," he mumbled. Chris sighed.

"Remus,"

"Please, there's no need for you to be here, how did you find me?" he asked. Chris looked around.

"There are only so many places one can go to around here," he said. Remus nodded and nursed his drink. There was a silence and then Chris decided he would do it.

"Are you really my father?" he asked softly. Remus looked up from the table and into Chris' eyes.

"Chris…"

"I've lived….all these years….not knowing who you are…what you are…why you left my mother. I've spent all these years hating you, and not knowing why…you left in the first place," he said.

Remus looked away.

"I had no choice, I…couldn't…do you know what you would have went through? Growing up with a father…like me?" he asked.

"I know what you are," Chris said softly. Remus nodded.

"Hermione told you?" he asked quietly. Chris nodded.

"Well then I suppose you won't want me anywhere near your daughter,"

Remus rose up and pulled out some money from his pocket. He placed it on the table. "Buy yourself a drink son, I know you returned everything I sent you, so, at least take this from me," He began walking out of the bar when Chris stood up.

"Remus! Wait!" He stopped.

"What is it?" he asked without turning around.

"Are you going to run all your life?" Chris asked. Remus turned around. Chris was crying. "I've finally found you, dad, won't you stay, at least a little while?" he asked wiping away a tear. Remus felt his heart skip a beat.

Dad?
