Sorry for leaving it so long but I was updating my other stories :) Go read them please


"No, No, No! We couldn't have done this. Could we? It's all my fault, you wanted to tell him years ago, but I wouldn't let you. I thought I had hurt him enough as it was, being his teacher, not being there when his father died, and leaving him when he needed me most. Not to mention the fact that I nearly killed his best friend. No. It's my fault." Remus was curled up on the cold kitchen floor, with his knees pulled up to his chest and rocking back and forth slowly. "We have to tell him." He stood up, and slammed his hands down on the table suddenly, causing Sirius to turn his head and look at him.

Sirius had dropped to the floor instantly when Harry went down, he began cradling his head which had struck the floor with a loud 'bang!' As the minutes went by Harry began to be pulled more and more to Sirius' lap, Sirius holding him as you would a newborn. They looked so quiet, but sadness filled Sirius' eyes, was it him who had caused this to happen? He would blame himself forever if it was his fault; he had promised Prongs that whatever happened he would keep Harry safe, had he just failed his best mate? He truly hoped not. He had done some bad things in his life but this, this would be the worst thing he could ever do.

What about Remus? He knew that he would blame it on himself. He always did, especially now a days. He would say 'I was the one who wanted to keep it a secret, we should have told him ages ago.' He wouldn't care though; it would still be his own fault. He should have convinced Remus to let it go, to have told Harry but whatever happened now he wouldn't care. As long as Harry survived.

"Sirius?" A weak voice was heard. "Sirius" No reply. "SIRIUS"

"What? Harry! I love you, thank Merlin, you're alive, Mrs Weasley she would have killed me if something had happened to you."

"Uhh, Sirius. What happened? I can't remember a thing. Why am I sat on the floor? Why are you cradling me like a baby? I'm not a baby Sirius!"

"You mean, you can't remember?"

"Remember. Remember what?"

"Why you are on the floor?" Sirius asked cautiously, thinking about the options that lay before him. He was going to tell the truth, obviously, right away. So this didn't happen again.

"No, why am I on the floor?" Harry questioned, trying to work out what he was doing sat on the kitchen floor. He looked over at Remus. He looked worried, what was he hiding? He knew that it took a lot for Remus to get worried, so it must have been major. "Remus?"

"Yes, Harry?" He answered, his voice wavering. He really didn't know what to do, he wanted Sirius to tell him the truth but he had no clue what he would do. They had been together for years, but had told nobody, Harry was the first to know. They had kept the secret well; he thought Sirius had done amazingly. To be honest, Remus thought that it would have been out in a few days, he didn't even think they could be secret for a week, but Sirius had gone over his expectations.

"What happened to me? Why am I sat on the floor? Why is Sirius holding me like this?" Harry listed the questions, saying them quickly as they popped into his head.

"Umm, I think Sirius should tell you... He is your family. I'm not." Remus paused, hoping Harry would take this as a valid excuse, but Sirius seemed out of it. He realised that he would have to get Sirius back into this world. "SIRIUS!" He shouted, trying to get Sirius back.

"Huh" Sirius looked up.

"No Remus, you are family, you were my dad's best friend, and he would do anything for you. And now that is up to me, I will do anything for you, as you would do for me. Now which one of you is going to tell me what happened?"

Both Sirius and Remus looked at each other, both willing the other to do it. But Remus jumped in first. "Sirius, Sirius will tell you."

Sirius looked upset, but Remus couldn't do anything now, he had dropped him into it. How was he meant to tell Harry? It had been bad enough the first time. But to tell him again? What to do?

"Harry, I'm not quite sure how to tell you this but..."

The phone rang, cutting him off mid sentence. "I'll get it!" he screamed. Thank Merlin. Saved by the bell.


Sorry for leaving it on a cliffhanger, but review and I will update quickly. :)
