What was that noise? 'Harry! HARRY! Where the hell are you?' Sirius was first on his feet and quickly running up the stairs 3 at a time.
Remus was slower, but instead of copying Sirius he took his own initiative and started to search all of the rooms downstairs. There was nothing, not a sign of him, apart from the hallway being slightly chillier than it should have been. 'Sirius, where are you?' He shouted as he also took the stairs 2 steps at a time. He could hear deep breathing. Where was it coming from? Only one door was open, Harry's room. He walked in expecting to see Harry curled up under the covers and Sirius on his knees begging for Harry to look at him. To listen. But the sight before him was considerably different to what had happened before, drawers were open, clothes chucked all over the floor, Sirius was the one on the bed. Sniffing the covers he had wrapped himself in.
Sirius couldn't believe it; his own godson had run away. He looked up as the door opened, his sight blurry because of the tears escaping. Remus looked at him, his eyes full of disgust. Why was his lover looking at him like that? He had done nothing wrong.
Remus couldnt believe it. Harry had run away and here Sirius was crying. 'Pull yourself together. He's in so much danger out there, you know how many people are out to get him.' He roughly grabbed Sirius' arm, dragging him along the floor a few steps before Sirius wiped his eyes and managed to pull himself up. Grabbing coats as they left the house, they ran out into the street looking every which way.
'At least he can't apparate yet.' Siruis tried to crack a joke but the grimace on Remus' face never broke. He couldn't believe it. 'I'll go this way and you go that', he barked the orders to Remus, and sprinted off in one direction, not turning his head to look back at his other half going in the other. They had to find him, they just had to. What would James think of him? Lily had never trusted him, always Remus more.
Several hours had passed, Harry wondered if anyone was looking for him yet. He hadn't run at all that far, he wasn't going to be able to survive. He wondered if he could sneak back to the house before they realised he was missing. Harry had done some thinking whilst sat in the cold cafe drinking his hot chocolate. It was better being in here than outside at least. He was sat in the blue plastic chairs, with the white grubby table right next to the window, away from the few regulars that were sat next to the counter. He wasn't sure how his guardians would be reacting, would they be pleased? He knew that no one would want him. He could see that every time Remus and Sirius were asked if they were together they would immediately deny it. They were close friends that was all.
Sirius trudged back to his house, disappointed in himself that he couldn't find harry. He had ran, and looked everywhere within a 3 mile radius, he knew Harry wouldn't have got further than that. Walking past the cafe Remus had decided they were going to meet outside he peered through the window and couldn't believe his luck. Harry was sat there. Not wanting him to run away again, Sirius decided on the best course of action. He was so excited he didn't know what to do, so walked in straight away.
The bell on the door tinkled, Harry looked up like he had been doing every other time. Only this time he wasn't to be disappointed. His godfather had looked for him. He had even found him. This was 5 hours after he had left, and had been the longest of his life so far.
Sirius walked over slowly, sitting on the seat next to Harry, trying to stop him leaving again. HE could see that the boy had been crying, but to his surprise Harry hugged him tightly. 'Oufff' He grunted, but leant into the hug slightly, even going to the point of wrapping his arms around Harry. Remus was quite far away at the moment, having managed to use his wolf senses to search further than Sirius himself had been able to. He wondered what was going to happen next, not sure how to start this conversation, but wanting to get it over with.
Thank you for reading it! I hope you enjoyed it, but sorry for the long wait. Theres only a few more chapters left unfortunately. Just to say, I dont mean to be rude about Gay people, its just where the story went. Anyway remember reviews mean cookies!
