1Mindless Tears

Chapter 10

Warnings and Disclaimers are in the first chapters' loser!

Remus:

I woke to the sound of a fist against the door. I roll over and tell the offender that it's ok to come in. It's the young wolf I had in my lap the other night. I lift my head to look at him and he smiles. I give a small smile and wonder why he's here. I know it's in our nature to be attached to our own kind but he is really a bit too comfortable about the whole thing.

He walks up to me and crawls into my bed. I wonder why he is becoming attached as he stretches out next to me. I cock my head to the side and was about to ask when he answered my unasked question.

"I'm sorry for all this. But Donnie has told us all about you guys. I was fascinated by you that I couldn't help myself. I'm sorry if I scared you, we've had problems with other shifters. It's nice to see another like me." He smiles at me with kind eyes.

I shake my head as I pull him into a hug. He's young and alone in this house without another like him. The girl, Ary, as Harry has called her, isn't of the same species or race. She belongs to a certain type of shifters that could only be found in this country. It's no wonder that this boy would try to attach to me.

There was a knock at my door once more and I yell to come in. It was Severus and I sit up from my laying position. I smile at my friend and wave him over. I can hear him growling about the young wolf next to me but I ignore it.

"Morning Severus. What can I do for you?"

His eyes don't leave the wolf as he speaks. "Breakfast, as Potter has just told me, will be served in an hour and has also asked me to find him. Saying something about lazy animals in his house."

The young wolf gasped as if remembering something and dashed out of the room. He was quick for a young one but then again when you live with Harry things tend to be more than they appear.

I look over to Severus to see him with a judging look. I sigh waving him over. I wouldn't want him to think things that I don't even think about.

"It's alright Sev. He's just not use to seeing another like himself. It felt like I could start my own pack with him as my own pup." I say not lying to him. He could see through them without even trying. A part I appreciate very much. It keeps me honest with him.

He shakes his head and looks away and says, "Would you have started a pack with Black if he were still alive?"

I stop thinking at that question. It was true that Sirius and I were lovers, and I cared very much for him. But starting a pack with him had never entered my mind. I was at a lost when he had come back into my life and turned everything upside down. The nights we spent together were short and weren't going to last. I had a feeling with my inner self, wolf in other words, that he wasn't going to stay with me for long. It was no surprise when I did lose him in the dead room. It was so hard to believe it at first. Now, thinking if I would have started a pack with him I would only give one answer.

"No. I don't think I would. Even if I did turn him there was no Lunar love."

He gives a small laugh and I have to watch him carefully.

"Is that myth still around. I never believed in Blood love. I guess we have our own quarks." With that he left leaving me wondering if I should have answered with what I really felt.

After the sound of the door shutting I got out of bed and got dressed. I needed to be prepared for the Weasleys. They won't be too happy when they come by today. And talking to Harry about killing someone to get away was an issue that hadn't popped into my head until now.

Walking down the steps I notice that Lynla was resting against the railing. She looked like she was waiting for someone. I went all the way down to greet her.

"Morning." I say smiling.

She looks up and smiles.

"Morning, Remus."

I nod.

"Can I speak with you for a second?" Lynla said.

I nod and she leads off into a study smaller than Harry's. It was nice with all the bookshelves and the small desk and the two small couches in the middle of the room.

After entering Lynla shuts the doors she moves to one of the couches and I sit across from her.

"What is this all about, Lynla?" I ask.

She smiles with a sigh. Her worried expression is a bit out of character for her, at least that's what I think.

"Well, the thing is that we don't want Donnie to go back to the UK. We like him here and he's happy. I'm sure you're going to tell him he has no choice but it was his choice to leave in the first place." Her voice was soft and convincing but I wasn't what she thought I was.

"We do not wish to take him away. Only to find him and see if he's ok. I could care less if he came back or not. The wizarding world has no right to keep him the way it did. I'm just a family friend that has cared for Harry's happiness more than his wrongs." I said feeling a bit center staged.

Lynla leaned back in her seat judging me. I'm not one that takes kindly to judgment. I let her know by growling loud enough for her to hear. She seemed to take the hint and looked away.

"I am sorry. I have misjudged you." Lynla says looking a bit embarrassed.

"You shouldn't be judging in the first place." I said, ebbing away my growling.

She smirks and relaxes more than need be. Must mean she is far more comfortable with my presence. Back home werewolves are still feared no matter what. We have more rights now but they don't protect us like they should. But I have found peace with my companions.

"So, what's up with the other two you've brought with you? I'm human with super strength because of crazy witches, Ary is a weretiger and Devon is a werewolf and you are a werewolf as well. But those two aren't human. I can feel it. It makes no difference to me what they are but they better tell Donnie or he'll be pissed if he finds out in another way. Like Ary telling him." Lynla said making her point clear to me.

I nod at her explanation. Harry wouldn't be too happy with that. He probably wouldn't care but the fact that they never told him would do more damage than good. And if Ary told him before they got the chance both Severus and Draco would be in far more trouble than they would want.

"I will speak to them. They must tell him themselves and not by me." I said feeling a bit worried.

Lynla nods to me and smiles. There was something else on her mind. I nod my head at her for her to speak what was on her mind.

"I was wondering if you and that tall raven haired guy got something going on." Lynla asked in a very casual way.

I raise an eyebrow at that. "As in what?"

She smirks. "Come on. He has to mean something to you. We heard from another werewolf that wolves usually wait for a Lunar love. Is he your Lunar love to be or what." she said smiling like she found a new toy to play with. The thing was I wasn't a toy.

Her words hit a soft spot in me but I wanted her to be friends with me. Lynla and her sister have lived with Harry for so long that I wanted to know everything that had happened. Not only form his stand point but the people he lived with.

"I'm not sure yet. We've been friends for six years now I think and we have been close. I'm not sure that we will be able to love. It's forbidden for our kinds to mix and love." I say holding myself wishing I didn't need to make such hard decisions after so much that have happened.

Lynla rises and walks to me. She sits next to me and holds me; I wrap my arms around her waist.

"It all depends in which country you live. Their all old school over there aren't they." she laughs. "Well, here creatures of all kinds mix for love. Vampires mix with wolves, elves, veelas, and so on and so forth. It doesn't matter as long as they love you back."

I felt the weight of my troubles lift as she spoke. I don't even know if I truly love Severus but the feelings that have been dormant for awhile have been rising recently.

"Can I ask you another question, Remus?" Lynla said.

"Huh?" I gave an unintelligent response to her.

"Where did that blonde get that black eye?" Lynla's voice was a bit humorous but also concerned.

I rise up from her arms with a raised eyebrow. "What?"

"Yeah, the blonde has this major black eye. It's really bad, like I had hit him and he was lucky enough to even survive it." Lynla said contemplating the situation.

I sat straight and cocked my head to the side. Remembering that both Severus and Draco haven't fed in three days makes me get out of my seat. I march through the house looking for the young vampire, Lynla right behind me.

I find the blonde holding an ice pack to his head and Severus glaring at him. Arylyn was shaking her head and Devon was scratching his. I was baffled by the picture they painted at the moment.

Walking over Severus looks up and shakes his head. It wasn't at me but at the young adult in front of him.

"Remus, look at what this idiot got for being stupid." Severus said very unlike him, must be the lack of blood. It usually leaves him a bit unorthodox.

Draco growled and said, "I'm not an idiot. I just wasn't expecting that kind of thing from him. It was just a kiss. He didn't even have to hit me."

The other three stopped what they where doing in trying to figure this out. They busted out laughing their heads off. Arylyn, Lynla and Devon were all on the floor laughing to their hearts content. I was baffled but Draco seemed to look embarrass without blushing and that was a feet to make him embarrass.

Then it hit me like an unseen tornado. Draco wouldn't kiss anyone unless he was sure they were his Blood love. He has told me himself and has told me who that Blood love might be. I couldn't help my self by letting out a small chuckle before patting him on the back. His uncovered gray eye shoot up to stare at me.

"He is a stubborn one but I'm sure he wasn't expecting that either." I say sitting next to Draco. I remove the ice pack to see the damage Harry has given the young vampire. I gasped at the sight I saw. It covered the whole eye and wasn't as swollen as I thought it would be. But then again it must hurt like hell to be that color. The color was a lovely black and purple, there was nothing that made it look like the thing wasn't covering much. It was covering the whole eye and was very prominent in looking that way. I tried not to laugh at the formation it made. It reminded me of how Sirius left black eyes. I guess Harry learned from Sirius how to do that before he died.

"Well, it's very much a…" I couldn't finish because I couldn't think of anything to say.

I felt Severus lean over my shoulder and stare at it before he spoke. "It looks like the black eyes Black and Potter use to give me."

I couldn't hold it after he said that. I laughed out loud as I place the ice pack back putting pressure on it.

Draco only glared at me as I shook my head. It was true, both James and Sirius left black eyes just like that. It could have been genetic that Harry left it like that. The only problem with it was that Harry had no real feel in it. It seemed like the black eye was done as a natural reaction to what Draco had done. Which I had to smirk at with a pat on his head I looked up to Severus.

"Have you fed yet?" I asked and the look I received was all I needed to know that he hadn't. I felt Draco tense next to me and I sighed trying not to be the mother of our small group.

"Well, I guess breakfast first and then you can take care of that."

Severus and Draco both gave a slight nod.

The other three watched us carefully but said nothing about what I had meant when I had said fed. It wasn't that I cared what they thought of us. No, it was what they would tell Harry if anything did go wrong.

A ringing sound ended my thoughts and I looked up to a strange item sitting on a table on the other side of the room. A door next to it opened and Harry picked it up. He held one end to his ear while the other he talked into. I remember seeing Lily do this once and she had said it was how muggles communicated.

Harry seemed to be agitated by the person on the other end of phone. He took a deep breath before answering them quietly. I didn't bother trying to hear what was being said as it wasn't my business.

Harry slammed the phone and glared at the trio by us. They shivered and took a step back. I raised an eyebrow at this as Harry proceeded to walk up to them. He smiled and pulled Lynla next to him. He brought his arm over her neck smiling while she kneel a bit to reach his height.

"Lynla, why did Lovegood have this place registered as a contact in the company reference?" Harry said smoothly.

I backed into Severus who put an arm around my waist. Draco stood up walking a bit back too. Lynla was in the worst position as she was trapped by Harry's arm.

"I...I-it was company policy to give a number where they could reach us. I wasn't sure Luna would care to call us or not. We haven't received a call from anyone in the few years since we left New York." Her voice was smooth but it held fear.

"Well, that was Luna and she just turned down a few people from the Ministry of Magic from England. They were following my friends here. Obviously they tried to do what they did but instead did it to Luna and she blow up in their faces. She won't be arrested or anything since this is America and is a citizen as you or I but now their coming HERE!" Harry yelled the last word in her ear and Lynla yelped as she was shoved into the others. "We've worked too hard to have this life crumble and I will disappear again if I have to fake another death."

Harry was angrier than I had ever seen him but that wasn't why I was too worried about right now. If the Ministry saw us here they would be able to arrest us for holding information from them.

Draco moved forward. I tried to grab him but he moved out of my grasp at the last second. He walked up behind Harry and wrapped his arms around his waist. He held the smaller youth to his chest with his head on Harry's.

"We'll help you. We can fix this so calm down and all will be fine. She didn't mean to hurt you like that."

I smiled as Harry relaxed in the hold. Maybe there was hope in claming that aching soul.
