Aries’s P.O.V
    After seeing Harry and Hermione come back into the Hospital Wing Ron soon spoke up, “how did you get there? When we were just talking to you there. And now you're there.” Ron said in confusion, “what’s he talking about Harry?” Hermione asked him, “I don’t know. Honestly, Ron. How can somebody be in two places at once?” Harry said to him and I sighed, “I think I’ve gone Bloody mental.” I mentioned and heard them laugh a little before looking at George and smiling, “How are you feeling?” he asked me as Harry and Hermione went over to Ron, “not too bad. I guess it could have been worse I suppose.” I said looking at my arm and the both of us continued to talk before Madam Pomfrey had let me go for the night and both George and I had left the Hospital Wing as he helped me walk a little as my ankle didn’t hurt as much as it did before but we were soon stopped by Harry, “Aries, Sirius wanted me to give you this.” he said giving me a letter and I smiled at him before he went back to Ron and both George and I left soon after as we eventually made it back to the Common Room and we both sat down on the couch in front of the fire and I began to open it and begun to read the letter.

Dear Aries,

I am sorry that you never got to see me growing up, but I trust that Remus has taken care of you throughout the years and I’m sure you have done the same for him once you had understood what he was and learned about his Condition. I see so much of myself in you that I am surprised that I saw your mother in you as well when you were angry with Peter. I will understand if you do not want to live with me right away and I wouldn't expect you to, considering I don’t want you to be around me right now since it will be too dangerous right now, but I hope you will some day when I’m a free man and both you and Harry can hopefully become as close as Siblings. Please remember that I never wanted to leave you, I’ve always wanted to see you get your Letter from Hogwarts as soon as you turned 11, but I never got that chance, I also always wanted to get you your first broom as well and I hope that I still get to have that chance when I am able. I love you more than you know Aries, I always have, never forget that alright. I hope to see you one day soon but right now, It’s too dangerous.

Love, Dad.

By the time I had finished reading the letter, I sat there thinking as I set the letter down next to me as I felt a tear slip down my cheek glad that my dad was free but at the same time, I felt upset that I won’t be seeing him for a while and I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard George speak up, “is everything alright?” he asked me and I sighed a little, “we found out my dad was innocent for what happened to Harry’s parents but we know people won’t believe him or any of us so he’s gone into hiding.” I told him as I rested my head on his shoulder, “I believe you.” he said and I looked up at him and smiled a little, “thanks, that means a lot coming from you.” I said to him before thinking about getting cleaned up a little, “I should probably get cleaned up and changed because right now I feel grose.” I told him and we both chuckled a little, “alright, if you’re going to the bathrooms, I’m coming with you. I don’t want you wandering the halls alone.” he told me and I nodded, “alright then.” I said and I grabbed a pair of clean pajamas before we made our way to the bathrooms. By the time I was done getting cleaned up and changed, I soon walked out of the bathroom and walked with George in silence before he spoke up, “I know I’ve asked this already, but how are you feeling?” He asked me, “I’m better now. I think whatever Madame Pomfrey gave me for my ankle is working wonders.” I told him and we both chuckled as we eventually made it back to the Common Room and continued to hang out for a bit longer as I began to feel sleepy, “are you getting tired?” George asked and I nodded a little, “why don’t you go to bed then. Will you manage on your own?” he said and I nodded, “yeah, I’ll be fine.” I told him before Harry and Hermione walked in, “hey guys” I said and they both waved, “are you heading to bed Aries?” Hermione asked me and I nodded, “yeah, I was just about to head up to our Dorm.” I told her, “Alright, we can go there together then.” she said and we all said goodnight and both Hermione and I walked into our dorm for the night before the both of us had eventually gone to bed for the night.
