Morning brings revelations

About 4 hours had past of them being sat like this holding tightly to Harry when Sirius felt Remus flinch, he moved his eyes towards the man sat next to him for the first time since he had told him the news. Remus was deathly white, the nags under his eyes purple and his hair had blood in it. He had almost forgotten Remus had come in from a full moon. He now looked towards his chest area where a massive patch of blood was seeing through his shirt . Fuck.

"Shit, Remus, you're chest wait um hang on" he got up lifting Harry off him and placing his next to him on the arm chair.

"It's fine" he groaned "it can wait, it not important n.." but he was cut of by a sharp hiss.

"It cant wait" Sirius instructed. and he hurried to where they keep the medical supply's Madam Promfrey sends over.
When he returned Remus looked barley conscious,
"Hey!" He slapped his cheek, panicking slightly
"Remus"

Remus opened his eyes, "im fine, promise"

This was somewhat a relief. He started to work out the massive oozing cut Remus had running down from one end on his torus to the other. Dabbing diterny  and muttering healing spells. Finally after some while Remus's chest was looking so what healed, he handed him a sleeping daughter and pain potion but Remus shock his head.

"No, its selfish im going to stay here with you"

"You need to sleep though, it helps you heal, please Remus"

Remus just put the bottles  down.

A little while later Harry awoke crying loudly making Sirius jolt awake, he hadn't remembered falling asleep. Remus was sat with Harry on his knee desperately trying to comfort the boy. It was no use, They both agreed he needed sleep so gave his a small does of Remus's dreamless sleep that he had deserted.

After they had him wrapped up on the sofa again there was a loud knock at the door. They both froze, looking at each other with fearful looks. Who was this. Remus hobbled towards the door wand ready, Sirius stood in front of Harry wand behind his back. As Remus opened the door to there relief is was Dumbledore but this time he was accompanied by Mcgonagall. Remus let them in showing them to the kitchen where they could sit, they both obliged.

"Sirius, Remus" Dumbledore spoken softly "im so sorry for your lost this night"
Neither replied

"We need to talk to you about the events, what really happened"

"We know what happened" Remus snapped "your plan failed he won"

"I understand your anger Mr Lupin I really do but you must understand the truth in able to protect Harry"
Remus lowered his glare

"Now I know it may feel right now like he has won, but that really is quite the opposite"
Sirius could feel Remus being to argue again and grabbed his arm in warning, he wanted this over as quick as possible and he wasn't helping.

"Voldemort, didn't win last night in fact, we are lead to believe he in fact died"
Sirius breath hitched

"What...what what do you mean" he stuttered

"From what i can gather as well as some highly trained Auroras we believe that well, Voldemort performed the killing curse 3 time last night"
He paused
"The final time being on Harry"

Sirius looked alarmed and glanced towards the sleeping boy so did Remus. "He can't of"

"Well it seems that he did Mr Black, and it seems, well we are unsure of how, obviously because it has never happened before, but is seem young Harry he survived, as well as somehow rebounded it back onto Voldemort himself."

Remus and Sirius were in stunned silence neither knowing what to say.

This is when Professor Mcgonagall finally spoke up. "I know this is an awful shock boys, and we are always here for support, please let us help you all we can."

"Thank you" Remus uttered next to him.

She looked at them with such sorrow in her eyes. then finally whispered "they didn't deserve this, they were the kindest couple I've meet, Harry will make them proud" and with that she rose and swept out the room.
Dumbledore arose to, but with less hast, "i will be over to visit soon but after that i dont want to bring an more attention here then its already getting, just because he's gone boys doesn't mean there aren't still people who would want Harry dead more then ever now. Remember that"

"Oh and it's going to be the cover of the daily prophet so i would suggest staying low for a while"
And with that he was gone.

They sat there for a while both still processing what had just happened, when a tawny owl flew through the window. It dropped a rolled up newspaper on the table before it took off.

Remus snatched it up in his shaking hands and unrolled it laying it down flat in front of them. And there on the front cover just like he had said read the words
"THE BOY THAT LIVED"
