" What is that?" Remus asked as he sat down on my bed. So did I.

" I... Remus, please don't be mad at me. I don't mean to be nosy. I was worried about you. " I said apologetically.

" Sirius. Calm down. Take a deep breath." I did as he said," Go on", he encouraged me to continue.

" You disappeared every month. And coming back with new scars or wounds. All you told us was that, it was Family Matter. I assumed that you are living in a abusive household. So, I read some muggle books from the library to prove that you were abused. I thought we could ask Minnie for help. I just could not see you be hurt, Remus" I told him.

His hands still had a comforting firm grip on mine. It helped me to relax and talk about it.

"And?" Remus' voice trembled.

"This Book, Remus. It says that I am the one living in a abusive household. What mother is doing to me and my brother is actually, called Gaslighting, Verbal and Physical abuse. I thought it was the normal way of living. And my parents were just strict. But-" I could not talk anymore.

Tears rolled down my cheeks. It was so painful to think that I am living in a broken family.

"Sirius, I don't know if it is going to be okay. But I will always be here for you." Remus wrapped his arms around me. His eyes were filled with tears too.

" You are a great person Sirius. The fact that you cared so much about me makes me feel happy. I never thought that I will have someone that will care for me so much except my parents. Now to think that I have you, Sirius... " He paused, " you have ME. Whatever you do, I will be by your side"

" Remus, thank you" I whispered.

Until this day, I saw Remus as a fellow students, as my best friend. But now, he is different. He is my happiness, my future, my life, my everything. I thought to myself as I tightened the hug.
