the Slytherins

11.

Grayson lupin-1st year

Christmas at the potters house was delightful. They are a real family. Remus stayed for 5 hours then he had to go back home. I feel empty when he's gone. He's my older brother,I protected him when he had no one. Now he has other people who can protect him.

Effie said that the doctor can see me tomorrow at 10am..I thought doctor appointments took longer then that but how would I know. I walked upstairs and everything settled in.

My brother lives with out abusive parents and I escaped I was able to get out. I get to talk to Effie about random things that come to my mind. This house is all I could dream up but one thing is missing,

Remus.

If Remus lived here then everything would be good and everything would be perfect.

I leave my thoughts behind and walk to my bedroom door.

I walk into the room and comfort fills me.

I take my clothes of and put sweatpants and a tee shirt on. I need to sleep for this doctors appointment Tommarow.

_________

It's 8am and I have just been hit in the face with a pillow.

I open my eyes and James is standing over me with a smile on his face and a pillow in his hand.
"Time to wake up sun" he tells me.

"Sun?!" I ask. "Yup but not like father-son but like the big ball in the sky" he says throwing the pillow at me. Fucking idiot
"Mom says that she wants you ready in 30 minutes for the doctor's" James says while walking out the room.

I put on a light brown sweater and black jeans. I walk to the mirror and apply my eyeliner. I walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth then I head down stairs.

"Hello sweetheart,were using a muggle car because I need to talk to you on our way there."she tells me. "Oh ok" I reply. "We can get breakfast while we're out" she says.

We walk to the car and I sit in the passengers seat. "Ok,we should get going in order to get there on time" she says pulling the car out the driveway. I didn't know pure-bloods knew how to work a car or even that cars exist.

"Alright so as I said this is a special doctor so she will not be giving you a physical check up"she tells me. "What do you mean a special doctor?" I ask. "Well she does mental checks to make sure your doing ok mentally" Effie says

A therapist.

They got me a fucking therapist.

"Why?" I ask her because that's the only question going through my mind. Why

"Well sweetheart you have been through a lot and I just want to make sure your ok" she smiles. "Do you think somethings wrong with me?" I ask her.i don't believe anything is wrong with me but I'm not a professional now am I.

"No I don't believe anything is wrong with you,I just want to be sure that you are going to be ok" she reassures me.

The next hour or so we're filled with David Bowie and abba.

Until Effie pulled into a parking lot.

A big white building it's very elegantly decorated.

The building is beautiful but the amount of secrets and pain that has been told in this place makes it not as beautiful.

"What if she doesn't like me?" I ask. Effie turns to me and smiles "Oh sweetheart,she's going to love you" she always knew what to say.

We walk up to the building and walk in.

There's about 4-5 teenage girls in hoodies and sweatpants sitting in the waiting room. When you walk into a place like this all you can think about is

'what are they here for'

Effie talks to this muggle about my appointment. I look around.

I hope the offices are more comfortable then this is.

About thirty minutes later a woman calls my name.

Why was she calling my name

"Come on" Effie says with a warm smile. I follow Effie's lead as she takes us down a hallway. We stop at a room with the number 9 on it.

Effie knocks on the door and the door opens.

A tall, skinny women with blond hair and green eyes stands Infront of us. She smiles at me and Effie.

"Hello you two,are you both going to be in this appointment?"she asks. Effie turns to me as a way of asking, 'do you want me to stay'. I shake my head. "I can do it on my own,thank you Effie"I smile.

"Ok Effie just wait over there while the appointment goes on,it should be over in no time"the pretty blonde woman says. She leads me into the room.

It is nicer in here then it is in the waiting room. The walls are a nice gray,I nice comfy looking chair sits Infront of the desk and a rolling chair sits behind it. There's a name tag on the desk that says 'dr, Laurie' so I'm guessing that's her name. Her desk has little figurines on it.

"You can sit right there" she says pointing to the comfey chair Infront of the desk.

"So your magic Right?"I ask,I hope she is or that questions going to make her think I'm crazy. she nods her head and I let out a breath of relief.

"Effie said that I'm here for like a mental check up,I have never been to a doctor before" I tell her. She smiles at me as she sit in the chair Infront of me.

"So what would you like me to call you?" She asks me rather politely. "Um graysons fine" I reply with a less enthusiastic tone. "Ok Grayson I'm going to ask you a few questions and some of them might be a bit uncomfortable so if you don't want to answer them you don't have to"she tells me.

I nod

"Ok,so your reason for being here is for a 'mental check up"she says quoting my past phrase. I nod again. "Ok do you have any siblings". "Yes I have one" I answered, thinking about Remus and how much I miss him.

"That's nice,hows your parents?"she asks,she sounds so intrigued with asking me questions about my life,I'm not that interesting. "Um,well,maybe we can talk about it that another time"I suggest.

She smiles again. "That's perfectly fine,how is school for you at Hogwarts". "It's fine I have friends,best friends I could say"I smile at that. Best friends . "Hm,what's their names?" She licks her lips and writes a few things down on the note pad Infront of her.

I just now realized I have been bouncing my leg up and down at a speeding pace. I stop my leg and reply "Regulus black,Evan rosier and barty crouch".

She looks a bit stunned. "Wow that is a very intriguing group you got going on there"she says writing more down.

"How is your mood most the time?" She asks. "Well it's fine,I have what my dad called 'mood swings' I lose.my temper easy and my mood does switch pretty fast but I don't think it's alarming"I admit.

"How often do these 'mood swings' occur"I feel like she suggesting something but I don't really understand. "Well one day I can be happy, smile and then the next day I can't get out of bed,but that's normal"I says.

She nods and looks at her watch. "Ok our session is over but I will be having you come back"she says still smiling for some reason. She gets up and I follow her to the door.

The door opens and I see Effie sitting down in a chair next to the door. I walk over and stand next to her. "Hey Effie can I talk to you for a moment"ms Laurie asks. Effie stands up and motions for me to stay there.

She and the therapist walk forward,out of hearing range. About 5 minutes later Effie walks back over to me. "How was it?"she asks. "It was ok I guess,she likes asking personal questions tho" I tell Effie.

"That's her job,now let's get out of here and go home"
