It's 4 in the morning, and rain is pattering against the windows. Remus still hadn't come home yet, and Zander pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers as he set down the daily prophet.
His father had escaped from Azkaban.
He didn't know how to feel. Would he finally be able to see his biological dad after twelve years? He'd only been a few years old when Sirius was sent to Azkaban, and truly didn't remember him at all. A thing or two here and there, but nothing more.
Remus had been there for him, raised him, and taken care of him since Sirius had gone to Azkaban. He'd been more of a father than Sirius ever was as far as Zander was concerned.
Zander contemplated for a few minutes, how did he really feel about this?
He decided to try and distract himself.
He noticed that in the rest of his post, was a letter addressed to him.
'zander ♡' read the front.
He ripped it open carefully and noticed familiar messy handwriting.
'Dearest, Zander.
This'll probably be the last letter for this summer seeing as school starts in a couple of days. I know you must be going through a lot right now; I've heard about your dad. I don't know what's running through that pretty head of yours, but you know you can always talk to me. I want you to know that I care a whole lot, and I'm always willing to listen. I've really really missed you and can't wait to see you back at Hogwarts.
- Love, Freddy.'
Zander smiled softly; his best friend's letter made him feel slightly better.
Suddenly, he heard the lock on the door click, and it opened, revealing a very tired looking Remus.
"Welcome home." Zander said, yawning.
"What in Godric's name are you doing up at this hour young man? We have a train to catch in a few hours. " Remus scolded.
"Waiting for you, also I couldn't sleep." Zander defended himself. "Have you read the daily prophet paps?" he asked.
"Yes." Remus sighed, sitting on the sofa beside Zander.
There was a while of silence before either of them said anything. Both of them knew exactly what was on the others mind.
"Your father is a troubled man." Remus stated blankly, breaking the silence.
"I've noticed." Zander replied.
"Try to get some sleep kiddo." Remus said.
"I'll try." Zander said, getting up from the sofa and heading to his room, where a certain Siamese cat was waiting for him.
Zander cuddled up with Biscuit, and fell asleep within a few minutes.
Hiii guys, this is my new story and I'm super excited for it. I hope you guys are too.
