Sounds perfect

I was in my usual tutoring session.

Even though me and Remus had a thing, we still took the time to work on my school things.

We had just talked about my next week plans when there was knocking on the door.

"Come in"

The door opened and Potter boy walked in. He was startled to see me there.

"Oh, hello Harry" Remus smiled at him "how can I help you?"

"I wanted to ask when are we starting with uhm the thing"

I looked curiously between the two.

"How does Tuesdays sound for you? Miss Snape does not have her tutoring lessons that day either"

"Tuesday sounds good"

"Then it's settled, I see you soon"

"Yes, goodbye sir"

The two smiled at each other before Potter walked away, leaving the door slightly ajar. Remus stood up with a small groan and went to shut the door.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yes"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, don't worry"

I didn't looked convinced but didn't push the matter either.

"What's the plan with him?"

"With Harry?"

"Yes"

"He wants to conjure a patronus, I am helping him"

"Are we learning to conjure a patronus as well?"

"Yes, next week actually"

"Cool"

"Darling? I am afraid I won't be in the castle from tomorrow until Friday night"

I looked up to him, my eyebrows furrowed

"Why?"

"It's about my work, Albus wants me to go somewhere"

"Where?"

"I don't know"

"And you are telling me this now?"

"I didn't know how to tell you that before"

"What about the lessons?"

"Your dad-"

"Nah, really? The last time you told me you had to go somewhere I found you half dead in here"

"Venus, I will be fine"

My eyes softened and I stood up from my chair. I walked over to him.

Remus opened his arms and let me sit on his lap. I wrapped my arms around his neck and looked at him.

"You don't want to tell me what happened last time?"

He looked away from me and we both sighed at the same time. I stroked his hair softly, and waited for him to say something.

"I hate seeing you getting hurt" I whispered "even though I can't, I want to protect you from whoever did this to you"

I traced my finger over one of his scars on his face.

"I want you to trust me. I understand there are things you aren't ready to talk about yet, but I hope one day you can tell me about them. Because I want to be here for you, if you let me of course"

He closed his eyes and nodded.

"I really care about you Remus"

"I care about you too"
