Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, I do not have any rights to Harry Potter and I do not make any money from writing these fics.

A/N: I know I got a lot on my plate but I promise I'll complete all of my fics plus this looks fun...So I wrote this for the 'Journey Through Hogwarts' Challenge on the HPF Forum. I'll be putting everything for this challenge together as a collection if possible. Also written for the One million words added comp, the twelve days of Christmas challenge and the Procrastinators untied comp.

Pairing: Remus/Harry - my OTP

Prompt: Write about your OTP using the quote "Kiss me, and you will see how important I am."- Sylvia Plath for inspiration.

A Way Out

Tears of exhaustion ran down his face as he stared blankly at the empty desk opposite him, his whole body shook as it threatened to not collapse. Once bright happy emerald eyes were dull void of any signs of life that they held before, his hand slowly made its way across the page like a muggle robot without even thinking. His skin was a pale white colour from months spent in doors doing nothing but paperwork piled on him by his so called co-workers. Inside of him his emotions betrayed his outer calmness as a whirlwind of tiredness, pain, suffering and loneliness controlled him.

"I have to get this paperwork done before they all come back in to work tomorrow," Harry muttered to himself unaware of the worried blue eyes watching him from a distance, "I have to get their work done for them before they come in."

So lost in his emotional turmoil Harry never noticed a second pair of blue eyes join the first or the whispered conversation about him as he continued to fill out form after form with scarily practiced ease.

"We have to do something, this cannot go on," a male's voice whispered out angrily, "Look at him! Someone needs to step in and do something as it is obvious that he won't. They've pushed him too far for him to even think about asking for help!"

"Which is why I flooed you and your company for Mr. Smith," a female voice snapped out at the man's voice in a warning tone,, "Or have you forgotten that you are here to find out more and see what type of relaxation he needs."

"Before I make any decision I want to know that you will be doing something about this," Mr. Smith whispered back darkly," If not then I will have to report-"

"Don't be silly, of course this won't be going on when he comes back! Why do you think I flooed you for?" the female replied darkly, "As soon as I found out about this I decided to step in. Mr. Potter has done a lot for us and it is about time for us to give something back to him!"

"He would need to be placed in the ICU of Highsea's and for a long time...we would also need to find someone to keep an idea on him, maybe one of the secret grey level workers for him as I do not think he would be able to not get himself into a similar situation once he leaves Highsea's with a grey level worker watching over him," Mr. Smith answered honestly catching the female's attention, "From the information you have given us I would be worried about him getting into a similar situation because of his 'helping people' and guilt complexes. You do know that it would be up to his worker if he even returns here..."

"I know, but I will not stand for this any longer," the female replied harshly, "I will be making sure that the people responsible for this will be punished. If need be then I will pull some strings to allow Mr. Potter to work at home and come into the office now and then. Through...our earlier conversation through the floo I didn't say you were right."

"I know but let's leave that for after everything with Mr. Potter is dealt with," the male's voice said in an almost teasing way only for a dark groan to be heard, "Now...let's get Mr. Potter out of this horrible situation he has gotten himself into."
