10. Leap of faith

The next morning Remus was still shaky, he couldn't believe that his master had defended him from another pure blood wizard. He cared for him, for real. He prepared the breakfast and a hangover potion, and then went to his master's room to serve him. Sirius was very pleased, all the partying had left him exhausted and he needed detoxify his system with a homemade remedy.

'Sirius, I sent Mister Hudson's belongings to his home in Paris,' Remus informed Sirius.

'Hmmm. You should have thrown them in the trash can,' Sirius told him casually.

'He seemed to have very expensive equipment.'

'That son of a bitch can buy new equipment, you are far too kind after what he did. Anyway, well done, you are very efficient. So…Remus, I have been thinking that we could change the dynamics around here, you could be my new assistant. You can work with me in a schedule and with a fair payment. Of course you can still live in here.'

'Me!?' Remus asked, shocked and then recovered, 'I would love to! But won't you need someone with more skills? I can't even use magic.'

'Exactly, I can easily find better qualified workers. I get tons of resumes by graduates with the highest marks but I never pick them,' Sirius explained to him, 'You know why? I know what they really want, they are ambitious and don't care about the job, they just want to climb up to higher positions. My last assistant passed information to rival companies, even sold my secrets to a gossip magazine. Remus I believe in you and in your loyalty. This is a leap of faith, are you the person I believe you are? Can you do this job?' Sirius asked intensely.

'Yes! Sirius, I swear I won't let you down. Just tell me where to start.' Remus listened with rapt attention as Sirius explained in detail all that needed to be done.

'Very well, it is still risky for you to go to the city so I just want you to take care of my pending paperwork from home,' Sirius told him. 'You know how to write, so reply to the letters from my fans, be gentle but impersonal. You also have to call everyone who were scheduled for meetings last week to excuse my absence ...invent something credible. Do not mention the partying,' he added.

'Get all my market rates from the Daily Prophet and send them to my office. That's the easy part. Then I need you to find Grimmalud Place's scriptures and maps. They must be in the basement. Be very careful, it is full of enchanted junk; you have to send them to my lawyer before 2 o'clock. This one is very important so don't fail me, do your best.' Remus nodded, showing his determination.

Black left for work and Remus began his new set of duties. He felt very privileged and he was going to make his best effort as usual. It was extremely rare that a slave had the opportunity to get a better life or even improvement in their working conditions.

Magical servants could only have the things their masters provided them with: food, shelter and clothing, nothing more. Often the food were only the leftovers and the clothes second handed. He had to take the chance despite feeling already exhausted. The full moon was close and he could feel the changes in his body.

The worst part was that he was dizzy and had slept very little, the cupboard had been especially cold the night before. Remus entered Sirius's room to search for the basement keys. He couldn't find them anywhere and decided to check the drawer beside the bed. He had to sit on the bed for a moment to do so. He knew the master hated most of the time anyone touching his bed but he really needed a support ... a soft ... gentle support...

James arrived to Black's office and greeted him a bit formally. And by his expression and the lack of lame jokes Sirius knew that they were going to discuss something important. Both casted silencing charms so nobody outside the room could hear the conversation.

'Auror Potter, welcome to my humble office. How can I help you?'

'Dear mister Black, we caught the rat.'

'You got him or you only know where he is?'

'We got him but we've kept it a secret so he can tell us the Death Eater's identities.'

'Fucking awesome news! How did you find him?' Sirius asked enthusiastically.

'We caught the guy that murdered the boy that resembled the servant. He tried to kill another guy but we stopped him before he could. He gave us the information about who had hired him, well, we made him talk.'

'Was it Pettigrew?' Sirius asked.

'No, he turned out to be a newly initiated Death Eater that acted on his own. He went one day to the Pettigrews's house to watch the werewolf fighting and obsessed over the servant. He targeted boys that looked like Remus to rape them and then kill them. He just murdered one and was about to kill the second one when we arrested him. He was very easy to persuade and gave us some clues to find that shit Peter, they were still in touch. We caught Peter without even a fight and he doesn't know all the crap we know about him, he still blames only his parents.'

'Ha! Idiot, he thinks he will walk free, I really want to be there when he gets his Azkaban ticket.'

'For that we will need the werewolf. We are going to extract his memories in the pensive.'

'Pensive? I thought he was going to testify at the ministry.'

'Well I changed the plan. Nobody is going to believe in a dark creature that has a new master and new loyalties. They could think that we ordered him to lie against its former owner. But if we get his memories they will see for themselves Peter's involvement.'

'Then in some days …'

'Yes, Siri! We will no longer need him and you will be free.'

'But it's too soon,' Sirius said slowly as he realised what this meant.

'What's wrong? I thought you would be happier, you hate sharing your house,' James said carefully, watching his friend's face.

'It's…no, it's nothing.'

'You can tell me! Nothing can be that bad. Are you wearing lace panties or something?' James asked jokingly.

'Idon'twanthimtogo.'

'What?'

'I don't want him to go!'

'Okay…that was unexpected. It's a werewolf; well he has to be someone very special if you want to share space with him, but…'James left his sentence as Sirius looked close to blurting out the truth.

'It's just-I don't know. I trust him, he makes me feel…'

'Wow! It has been long since you used those words. Feelings? Really? Sirius, I want the best for you and I'm sure he is a great guy if you say so. But be careful, he is too different from you. Maybe he is not what you are looking for. He is a slave.'

'I didn't say that I love him or something, I just like having him around. Don't worry James, he would never hurt me like the others.'

Both had to go back to work and agreed to catch up later. Sirius received an urgent message from his lawyer, he hadn't gotten the scriptures and the deadline had expired and now the paperwork was going to be delayed for months.

Remus…

Apparently none of the task he had trusted to Remus were completed. Sirius had to spend all afternoon in the office fixing the paperwork backlog. By the time he got home Black was furious. His papers were abandoned on the study table and Remus was nowhere to be seen. Until he walked into his bedroom.

And there he was. Asleep. ON HIS BED! SON OF A BITCH! Sirius lifted Remus forcefully.

'Sirius…' Remus managed as he was rudely awakened.

'What the fuck are you doing?! What did I ask you to do?!' Sirius asked dangerously.

'I'm sorry, Sirius-I don't know! I didn't mean to-' Remus was wide eyed, surprised and frightened.

Sirius laughed loudly and his mouth twisted in a cruel smile. 'No, no. This was all my fault for trusting someone like you. Fortunately I will no longer need to see your stupid face when James takes your memories. You will be out of my life for good.' He was not yelling but was about to explode.

'I'm sorry.'

'Shut your fucking mouth, you useless scum. Go make dinner if you can even do that,' Sirius snapped at the werewolf.

Remus had thick tears rolling down his cheeks, he was deeply embarrassed. He had failed the only person who had ever believed in him, and messed up the only opportunity he would ever have to be anything more than a slave. All his life he had wanted to be a normal wizard and now he had ruined everything.
