Hello or Goodbye?
It had been a month since Sirius had been taken away. Harry had been sent to live with Lily's sister. Remus had become very clingy and Severus was finding it hard to cope. Remus cried whenever he was put down so that Severus could do something. Rhea cried during the night which woke Remus which started him off. Severus was knackered and to top it all off today was Sirius's hearing. Severus got Remus, himself and Rhea dressed
Remus held onto Severus and stuck his thumb into his mouth. Rhea toddled along next to Severus as they walked to the fire place. When Severus put Remus down to pick up Rhea he started to cry. Severus ignored it and picked up Rhea. He took Remus's hand and stood him in the fireplace and then took some floo powder. Remus was by now hugging Severus's leg and still crying. When they arrived at the Ministry Severus picked Remus up again and he immediately stopped crying. Severus walked along with Remus on one hip and Rhea on the other. "Excuse me can you tell me where hearing room four is?" Severus asked. The receptionist went to reply when a voice called to Severus. Severus turned and saw Dumbledore striding towards him. "Follow me my boy I'm on my way there." Dumbledore smiled. Severus nodded and hurried to keep up with his former headmaster. "And how are you coping Severus?" Dumbledore asked. "Not very well. Remus wont let me put him down and when I do he cries. I have Rhea to look after, potions to make and shopping to do!" Severus sighed. "I miss my husband," "I understand Severus. More then you think," Dumbledore cut in before Severus could cut in. Finally the hearing was over. Severus was pacing back and forth with a crying Rhea in his arms and a crying Remus sitting on the floor. The door opened and Severus looked up to see his husband. He looked awful. His face was pale and his eyes had a haunted look. "Sirius." Severus whispered. Remus stopped crying and turned around. He ran up to his Papa and threw himself at him. "PAPA!" he yelled and hugged him. Sirius rocked his son back and forth. "I can go home." Sirius smiled.
