Intertwined - R.J Lupin

Promises

It had now been a few mellow days since April had found out about the rather surprising news.

Both Remus and Liv had been very supportive in trying to comfort her... maybe even too caring.

They had both spoke with each other and came to the agreement to constantly check up to see how she was doing. At first, April had thought the small gesture was sweet, but now... it was rather annoying.

"Liv, honestly, I'm fine!" She groaned. "I know you don't believe me, but trust me. I have completely came to terms with it"

This wasn't a lie, she had just simply avoided the whole situation. She hadn't seen Snape since the start of the weekend and she had completely disregarded the chance to go visit Sirius. She couldn't tell him... especially not know anyway.

What was she supposed to say 'hi I know you are oblivious to this, but I've just found out that I'm your daughter'.

Yeah not a chance... The poor man would simply have a heart attack. Plus, he was so desperate on trying to figure out how to catch Pettigrew. She just couldn't bare to tell him now...

"April you barely sleep, you eat much to nothing at meal times, and now you are completely zoning out for hours throughout the day" exclaimed the blonde as she threw her arms up in the air.

"Look, I'm just processing everything. I love the fact that you and Remus have came up with this whole 'caring idea of getting me back on track'. But honestly, I'm fine" April stated.

"We are just concerned" Liv pleaded

"I know, I understand. But I'm getting there, and if you continue with the whole 'loving' act, the twins will start to catch on. That's not you... go back to your fiery, witty self" she chuckled.

"Oh e-erm, about that" Liv said whilst scratching the top of her head whilst giving her friend an apologetic, half smile.

"Ok, who the hell knows?!" April asked as she cocked her eyebrow and folded her arms across her chest.

"W-well, I might have just let it slip to Fred. But I PROMISE, only he knows-"

"What the fuck were you thinking?! And why Fred- Oh, oh you and Fred?"As her angry exterior vanished into a fit of hysterics.

"Ok yeah, we might be together. Whatever, get over it" she mumbled.

"Oh wow, this is brilliant" she laughed. "Since when did that start?"

"Erm since the many nights you spent gallivanting around with your teacher-"

"Will you shut up" April hissed, looking around the common room to see if anyone had heard.

"What?" The blonde simply shrugged at. "It's not like no one has seen the lustful, heart eyes you send to eachother in class. I mean... when the hell are yous going to have sex already-" which quickly got interrupted by a smack to the back of her head.

"Could you be anymore obvious, Jesus Liv! And we haven't even confessed those three words yet. I want to take it slow, I want this to work, you know? This isn't just some childhood romance. I honestly think this is it for me"

"Oh fuck! Jesus I am not prepared to become a maid of honour yet, I'm too young" Liv dramatically stated as the pair fell into fits of giggles.

"Yeah well, I promise to actually make you one, when the time comes" April smiled back with a low chuckle.

"Thanks loser"

It was just before lunch and April had finally plucked up the courage to go pay a visit to Sirius. She had brought a couple of slices of bread which she had stolen from the Kitchens and made her way up the stairs of the Shrieking Shack.
