"There is nothing we need to talk about." Harry would not look up at him.
Remus sat in the chair beside him. "I think we have a lot to talk about. Harry please ask me anything, say anything. I want you to get it all out, be mad, sad, happy, whatever it is that you need to be to get out of this."
"Get out of what?" Harry asked coldly.
"This darkness in your head. You are battling with yourself, and it is making you a miserable person." Remus sighed.
"How can you see all of that in the short time we have seen each other?"
"I know you. You may think I care more for your sister then I do you, but you know that is not the truth. I was there for both of you in different ways." He kept his focus on Harry, who was still not making eye contact with him.
"Fine." Harry turned and faced him. "Why did you not come get me? Why did you let Albus control everything you did for Minerva and I? I needed a role model, a father figure just as much as she did." There was so much hurt in his eyes.
Remus nodded. "Harry, I know you did and looking back I should have told Albus I was taking you both."
"Should have but did not." Harry added.
"I was so convinced if you and Minerva knew of each other, and the Dark Lord found out you had a baby sister that one of you would get hurt. He could have used her to get to you. Harry we all know how much friends and family mean to you, and how overprotective you are." Remus seen Minerva heading in, he signaled her to stay back.
"That is why you guys should have told me! Knowing I would not let anything ever happen to her! It was tough going through the war without any family, yes I had friends that were like family but it was not the same. I needed –" He felt tears fill his eyes. "I need Minerva."
Remus sighed and nodded. "She is here, she is willing to work on this with you. Harry, she always wanted to tell you. Every chance she had, she would try but we would catch her and stop her."
"I can't, there is no way past what has happened. We are biologically siblings but there is no other connection. She is more Teddy's sister than she is mine." Harry took a deep breath in and gathered himself. "And we have you to thank for that."
"I will take all the blame, anything you feel towards her should all be aimed at me." Remus hated seeing this hurt in his eyes.
"You said you were there for us in different ways? When were you ever there for me?" Harry asked.
"I know I should have been there more in the younger years, but once I became apart of your life, I stayed in it. I was there to help you through the tough time you had with the dementors." Remus recalled.
"Yes, but Minerva would have been in school at that time, and plus you were teaching at Hogwarts." Harry said sharply.
"Then there was the time in the shrieking shack when we found Peter."
Harry shook his head. "Severus was looking more out for me than you were."
Remus sighed. "We got the order back together and I joined to protect you from the Dark Lord."
Harry rolled his eyes. "Which guess what? Also kept Minerva safe."
"I was there for you the night that Sirius was killed, I held you while you wept for him." Remus never felt this coldness from Harry before.
"You were, yes but let me go. Where did you go after that?"
"I went to Beauxbaton to make sure Minerva was still there and that she was unharmed." He replied.
"Exactly, everything you ever did for me was to protect Minerva. You say you were there for the both of us, but the truth is you were only there for me to make sure your little girl stayed yours!" Harry was getting angry.
"Harry, that is not the truth. I protected both of Lily and James children."
"You are a foolish man! Keep telling yourself you looked out for me; it is a lie! You took Minerva and claimed her as your own! She is not your daughter, but you made sure that the world thought differently!" Harry stood up.
Charlie, Minerva, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione came running into the kitchen.
"Harry I am so sorry that you feel this way. Hopefully in time you will see things differently." He responded calmly.
"Stop! Stop with the in time! Nothing will change!" Harry stormed out.
Minerva went to storm after him when Charlie grabbed her arm. "Don't."
She pulled herself away. "Charlie, I need to. Harry and I need this."
Ginny looked over at her brother. "Minerva is right, they need to get this all out so Harry can hopefully move past this."
He nodded. "Fine, but I will be keeping an ear and eye on you two."
"I would expect nothing else." Minerva replied and followed her brother outside.
Hermione looked at Remus. "Are you alright?"
He nodded and stood up slowly. "Yes, I wanted him to blow up like that. He has so much anger built up."
"That he does." Ron sighed as he helped Remus back into the living room with the others.
Minerva caught up to Harry, he was already up the hill behind the Burrow. "Harry!"
"Leave me alone! You are the last person I want to talk to!" He stopped and turned toward her.
"No, we need to talk. I do not care if we have to yell it out. Harry, I need to know what you are battling, why you can not fight these demons." Minerva caught up to him.
"I am done with all of this! You pretend that you are Lupin and not a Potter! We are not siblings; I am simply your spouses brother in-law and nothing more!" Harry turned away from her.
Minerva's heart shattered; she held back her tears. "I mean if that is what you want to do, I guess."
"It is not like the Potter name means anything to you." He looked back a bit and seen the hurt on her face.
"Harry that is not true. The Potter name means more to me then you think. I had to hide my name my whole life, being a Lupin is all that I know." She sighed. "I had no one to show me how to be a Potter."
He looked at her. "You do not need to be taught how to be who you are. It is a genetic, and you clearly are not a Potter. Remus took that away from you! He wanted you all to himself, and he got it!"
"It is not all on Remus, you stupid boy! Albus bought me to him and convinced him to keep the secret! Severus helped him raise me on the weeks of the full moons! Andromeda, Ted, and Nymphadora also helped raise me! Hagrid and McGonagall kept me from you! Charlie knew of me from the age of thirteen! George found out about me just after the war! You know who else knew the whole damn time he was in your life?! Sirius! So, stop blaming it all on Remus!" Minerva never felt this angry at him before.
Harry looked at her, he felt his anger rising. "They were all acting on orders. I can guarantee you that Sirius wanted to inform me, but Remus convinced him otherwise! If he would have lived…."
"… But he did not, he is dead!" Minerva cut in.
Harry drew his wand.
Minerva stepped back a bit, she left her wand at the Burrow. "Harry put that away."
"Apologize"
"For what?" She took another step back.
"For Sirius! Apologize!" Harry demanded.
"I have nothing to apologize for. I was not the one that went to the Ministry that night. I was not the one that let the Dark Lord into my head! That was not me! Harry…"
"Flipendo!" Harry hit Minerva.
Minerva went flying back, she toppled down the hill. At the bottom of the hill was some small stones, she landed at the bottom on her left arm while hitting her head on a small rock.
Harry seen her laying at the bottom of the hill. "No…" He turned and disaparated away from the Burrow.
"Minerva!" Charlie came running out, he bent over and scooped her up.
"He attacked me." She was still in shock. There was blood lightly coming from a small gash in her head.
"I am going to kill him." Charlie carried her to the Burrow.
"No, just let him cool off." Minerva looked up at him.
Charlie took her into the house. Molly seen the state of Minerva, so she took the baby up to their room to feed him and nap him. Arthur cleared the sofa for her.
"Minerva, what happened?" Remus got up when he seen blood.
"I am okay, things just got a little heated." Minerva sighed.
"This is more then a little heated." Charlie placed her on the sofa. "Harry attacked you and knocked you down the hill. Minerva he could have killed you."
She shook her head as Audrey was checking her. "Charlie my brother would never hurt me intentionally."
"Then what do you call this?" He asked confused.
"An accident. He meant to knock me backwards, not down the hill." Minerva winced as Audrey rubbed something on her head before she bandaged her up.
"Charlie, she is right. Harry would not have done this on purpose." Ginny chimed in.
"I think I am going to go look for him, he needs me right now." Ron grabbed his cloak.
"I am coming as well." Hermione followed.
"Minerva I am so sorry" Ginny sighed as she too followed her brother and Hermione.
"Minerva, lift your arm for me." Audrey asked her.
As she went to, she felt a sharp pain. "Ahh, I can't"
"Thought so." Audrey went to the kitchen to grab a few things.
"Minerva, do 'ou need anyzhing?" Fleur asked.
She shook her head. "No, I am fine."
"We are going to take the girls home; this was enough excitement for one morning." Bill picked Victoire up and they headed out.
"Just think it is only noon. Never a dull moment in this family." George joked.
"Babe, we too should be heading out. It is Fred's naptime, and he prefers his own crib." Angelina smiled.
"Yes love, for sure. Charlie if you need me send me an owl." Fred tapped his brother on the shoulder and left with his family as well.
Audrey came in with the proper equipment to put Minerva's arm in a sling.
"Nymphadora, why don't we take Teddy home. He needs a nap, and I think that you and Remus could use a rest as well." Andromeda picked Teddy up.
"That sounds like a good idea." Nymphadora walked over to Remus. "Love, we should head home."
"I am staying with our daughter; she needs me right now." Remus was starring at Minerva.
"Oh okay, that is fine." She kissed his cheek.
Minerva looked back at Remus. "Dad, I am fine. You need to rest; I do not want anything happening to you."
"I will go, but you are coming home with me." He went and sat by her.
She nodded. "I would like nothing more than that. Charlie, can you go and grab the baby, please."
Nymphadora was now holding their son standing by the fireplace with her mother. "We are picking up where we left off." She whispered to her mother.
"What do you mean?" Andromeda asked confused.
"I mean with Minerva. I love her to bits, but she has him so wrapped around that little finger of hers that I feel like he will always put her first." She sighed.
Andromeda stood there in agreeance, but she never knew that her daughter felt the same way.
