Please note that the world of Harry Potter belongs to Rowling, therefore I take no credit in it or the characters I use for this fanfic.
Remus was rummaging through the cupboard where Sirius kept his food when a thought hit him.
He went off to try to find Sirius, which was easier said than done, and he had searched almost the whole house when he finally found him sitting on the wooden stairs leading down to the cellar.
"Siri, why are you sitting here?" he asked cautiosly, studying the tense lines of Sirius' face.
Sirius seemed to watch the dust, floating in the sunray that passed through the single, tiny little window high up on the wall.
"For many long periods that tiny window was my only connection to the world outside, my only hope of ever being happy and free," Sirius' voice was heavy, loaded with emotions, as he spoke.
"Oh," Remus gasped, "Oh Merlin, I'm so very sorry Siri, so this is where they kept you locked up," and then he moved to hold his soulmate.
"They told me I was a disgrace to our family and a danger to society, so they thought I was better off locked up in here". A tear had now forced it's way to Sirius' eye, and he was hopelessly trying to blink it away.
Soon the tears had started to fall heavily onto Remus' shoulder as he held Sirius, he rocked him slowly, hushed in a low, soothing voice and carefully ran his fingers over Sirius' slightly tangled hair.
"You're not a disgrace to your family, not to any family at all! In fact, you're the best thing that's ever happened to your family, you're the white sheep in a Black family," Remus said softly when he thought Sirius was calm enough to listen, "And that about you being a danger to society I can kind of agree on, you never know what happens when you're around", he added with a little chuckle.
Even Sirius smiled a little.
"Thankyou," he whispered, "Now then, why did you come searching for me?" he asked ad he tried to gain some of his pride again.
