I felt the heat hug my body as I stepped onto the Hogwarts express, Sirius trailing behind me and James Bringing up the rear. Regulus had already gone off to meet his friends, much to Sirius delight (as he hadn't got a moment without Regulus the whole summer holidays).
James and Sirius sat down in our usual compartment, my eyes caught Remus' chocolate brown ones and locked onto them for a moment before he looked away, blushing.
I smiled softly at him and reached on my tip-toes so I could push my bag on-top of the overhead bins. As I got off my tip-toes I noticed Remus staring at me with wide eyes full of shock, I looked confused.
"Remus what-" I quickly noticed he was looking at my stomach and I flushed red. I pulled my top down and went to sit back in my seat but Remus quickly grabbed my wrist to keep me standing up.
"Guys we'll be two seconds.." Remus muttered to James, Sirius and the just-arrived Peter.
Remus stood up and pulled me out of our compartment- he lead me to an empty one and sighed as he shut the door. "Remus-" he cut me off by embracing me in a tight hug.
"Was that your parents?" He spoke slowly as he pulled away a little from me.
"No, I just slipped and.." I tried to gesture to the sore marks bruised onto my skin from my last beating as if to show that slipping could have done that, but it was no use, I was a shitty liar and there's no denying it.
"I'm so sorry..." Remus' beautiful voice was muffled by my shoulder as he came forward for yet another hug.
"It wasn't your fault, you shouldn't be sorry." I replied sternly.
We sat in silence for a few moments, the sounds of passing people hurrying to there compartments were muffled but they sounded loud enough to create a feeling of anticipation- waiting for Remus to break the awkward silence.
"Why did they do it..?" He eventually asked in a soft tone.
"Cos I talked over them" I give a light chuckle, "they're pathetic."
"And dickheads" Remus adds making me laugh.
"And dickheads." I agree with him before I hear a small sigh escape his throat.
"You can tell me about this stuff you know..?" He looked up at me, finally staring deeply into my eyes and not breaking eye contact. "I dunno what use I could be but i make hella therapist" he chuckles.
I couldn't help but crack a smile at his words, "thanks..I'll keep that in mind" I nodded "same goes for you too yeah?" I added- letting him know that he could come to me if anything was ever wrong.
"Doubt I'll need to talk" he chuckles "but thank you.." he smiles sincerely but quickly breaks eye contact as he sees me blushing.
He clears out his through "uhm..we'd better be getting back to the others..." I nodded in agreement and stood up, he didn't open the compartment door yet. He stood next to the handle but didn't move.
"Im sorry about your parents.." he says again as he turns to look at me.
"Remus it's fine." I give him a reassuring look but he simply bites his lip as if debating something before hugging me again, this time pressing his soft, cushiony lips against my cold forehead.
