The Stages Before a Lovers Quarrel ~ A Jegulily and Wolfstar Fanfiction

#9

Tw Blood, Violence, Domestic abuse, mentions of cheating, insults/slurs-ish. Don't read if these trigger you. Also pretend the words said are in Welsh up until a certain point.(idk Welsh and didn't want to translate incase it was incorrect.)

When Remus awoke on August 31st it was quiet. Peaceful. Until Lyall ruined that too; With his constant yelling at Hope. It was like they were constantly fighting and while Hope tried to hide it, fix it, Remus always knew what was happening. His father was abusive. To her. To him. It wasn't as bad as it could've been though. That's what he thought. That's what he always thought. Hope had brought up divorce. Again. Remus heard screaming, things breaking. And then everything went silent. Too silent.

"Mam! Dad!" Remus screamed from his room.

No response. He rushed into the dining room. His mother was lying on the floor, her face dripping with blood and hands covering the deep red, metalli, liquid seeping through her stomach. His father had cracked glass in his hand and up his forearm and when Remus looked at the table, Hope's favourite vase has been smashed to sharp, bloody pieces. He ran to the lounge room and dialled the Welsh emergency number, 111. Mr Lupin followed him.

"No! You idiot child. We need to go to St Mungos!" He roughly snatched the phone out of Remus' hand and slammed into its place on the wall.

"Mam's a muggle though Dad!"

"You should be caring about me, I'm the one who raised you!"

"When? While you were at work from eight to five? When you got home at nine most night while you were meeting other women? When you were screaming at me and Mam for existing? That's not bloody parenting Dad! That's not raising me!"

"I did not stay with a slag for a wife and monster for a son, wasting 14 years of my life, to be treated like this in a time where I am dying."

"Monster?" He stared at his father who turned and entered the chimney, flooing to St Mungos.

"A vicious, murderous one." Lyall said before his body whooshed away. It was the last Remus saw of his father for years to come.

He recalled the emergency number and was met with a voice asking who was needed and what the problem was.

After that it all happened so fast. An ambulance taking Hope to the nearby hospital. There was a police officer asking Remus questions he couldn't answer in his panicked state. He begged to go see his mother. To go with her to the hospital. A few of Hope's relatives were called but none of them answered; Her mother and father were gone, her sister had cut off contact with her after a rather silly disagreement they had. No one on lyalls side of the family answered either. None of them liked Hope or her wonderful son they all called 'the bastard child'.

The Police officer distracted Remus from the situation by bringing things from his room like his Hogwarts stuff which was packed with his school supplies for the start of term tomorrow.

"Is there a friend of yours that you can stay with for the night that can drop you to school tomorrow morning, Remus?"

"Mhm, Lily lives next door, but I'm pretty sure they aren't home right now, they might be home in a few hours though!" He begged to stay with the Evans's but since they weren't currently at home, and the police lady didn't have time to wait for them to arrive home, he had to choose someone else to stay with.

"I know this one family. But I'm not sure where they live, I know they live in England though."

"What's their family name?"

"Potter. Euphemia and Fleamont Potter. Their son James is my friend."

"Okay. We'll get that sorted then."

"Mhm," Remus nodded.

The travel was a few hours but finally they arrived at where the Potter's house should be. Instead there were trees in a path with gravel scattered around. As Remus and the police officer walked down the path it was like a collection of every plant you could ever think of was planted in the garden. It was beautiful and calming, exactly what Remus needed at the moment. Eventually they made their way to the house and Chanelle knocked on the door, Remus standing beside her.

Remus heard footsteps running down the stairs.

"Mum, can I answer it?" He heard from inside.

"Sure honey, let me come with you though."

"Okay!"

He watched as the door slowly open.

"Hiya ma'am what can I do for y-. Remus?"

A/n ayyy exactly 780 words. Again I'm sorry. I wasn't gonna make this book angsty at all but... We'll you can see that changed. G'night.

P.s. I had the weirdest conversation with my friend and partner tonight. So weird that I'm pretty sure I hallucinated it but whateverrrrr
Byeeeee. Again, I've done no editing back on it.
