One day

The time passed so quickly and everything happened before I even knew it.

I walked to the kitchen to get myself a cup of tea but stopped at the doorway when I saw everyone's mood. There were tears, betrayal, sadness...absolutely everything.

And then I knew, it happened.

I gulped and in a quiet voice asked what happened, even though I knew already.

"Your father killed Albus"

The way they said it, it felt like a stab to my heart. The ones who looked at my way, their eyes were showing betrayal.

"Show...show me your left hand" it was Sirius who said that.

I furrowed my eyebrows and scoffed.

"You think I am one of them?"

"Show me your hand" he raised his voice.

I looked at Remus who was sitting around the table, not looking at me.

"Remus tell them I don't have the mark"

He stayed quiet, still not looking up.

I felt my heart dropping. I got tears in my eyes. I wanted to throw up. I felt sick.

Sirius took my hand harshly in his and pulled the sleeve up. There were only old self-harm scars. I scoffed and shook my head.

"How dare you even think that I am one of them"

The front door opened and Minerva walked in. Our eyes met and all I got was a harsh glare.

"Minnie-"

She shook her head slowly, tears in her eyes.

"It- it wasn't me who did it, do you understand that?"

Remus pushed himself up from the chair, bottle of whiskey in his hands. He held his gaze down and brushed past me, walking up to the bedroom.

"Get out of this house" Sirius whispered.

"What"

"Get out of this house" he repeated himself.

"You don't mean tha-"

He shouted that one more time, I flinched. I looked around, even Abby didn't say anything. I let out a small scoff and slammed the kitchen door shut, walking upstairs.

I opened the door to see Remus sitting on the bed, holding our wedding ring between his fingers.

"Remus" I whispered.

He wiped his tears and ran his hand over his face, shaking his head slowly.

"You knew all along, didn't you? That's what he told you the last fucking time he was in this house...you knew, Venus. How...how could you do that to us?"

"Remus-"

"I don't want to hear anything, Venus. All this ' I am sorry, I couldn't tell you, I promised him ' bullshit, I don't want to hear that"

"Do you know that Albus requested his own death? As absurd as it sounds, his death was necessary, Remus" I said "he was dying anyway, he was sick. He had less than a year to live-"

"That's bullshit"

"It's not. One day you understand it was not bullshit. One day you understand he did it so we could win the war. One day, Remus. One day. Mark my words"

He brought the bottle of whiskey up to his lips and took a sip.

"Who's side are you on?" 

"Why are you even asking something so-"

"Answer me!" he shouted 

"Your side, you know that. It is disgusting that out of everyone you would think that I am on the other side"

"We all trusted Pettigrew as well" he said 

I stayed silent.

"I barely can get out of the house, when I can it's with you..." I said "I am stuck in here, learning different spells with you all...I- Look into my fucking mind then"

He stayed quiet, sipping his whiskey, not saying anything. 

The door burst open and Sirius came in with a vial.

"Drink it" he said to me.

"What is it?" 

"Drink it

Then I understood it was truth serum. I rolled my eyes at him and drank all of it. There was question after question, all proving that I did not have any connections with the other side. 

It was silence after that. I wasn't even mad at them. The death hurt them, they were all angry, sad, confused...it was okay. I couldn't be mad at them. 

I felt Remus' hands on my hips and then how he placed a long kiss on top of my head. 

"I'm sorry" he whispered into my ear. 

I placed my hands on top of his and leaned against his chest, not saying anything. He held me tightly against his chest until Minerva came over and dragged me out of his arms and hugged me tightly. 

Her sobs broke my heart. Other left, giving us a moment. 

I helped her to sit down on the bed and held her. 

"I'm so sorry" I whispered. 

Time passed and things got worse with every day. There really was the feeling that you couldn't trust anyone, but we had to stay close. If we wanted to win, we had to stick together. Remus and Kingsley continued to teach me spells when we had time. Molly tried to take care of all of us. Everyone were busy and on their toes all the time. 

When we got the information that Harry, Ron and Hermione were not in the school, we were all worried sick. The three had a plan, but didn't care to tell any of us.

I hadn't seen dad...for a very long time now. We couldn't even send letters. And Merlin how worried I was because of him all the time. 

Through everything that happened, I tried to find some time to be with Remus as well. He was my safe place. Right now, I was laying on his chest, he was running his hand through my hair and I caressed his scars. 

"Promise me that after everything-" I couldn't even finish my words when he took a deep breath. 

"I can't promise you anything, my love" 

"Please"

He looked at me and gently wiped my tears. He gave me a soft smile and cupped my cheek.

"You will be alright, darling" 

"Remus-"

He placed his finger on my lips, silencing me. 

"Don't worry your pretty little head with that. We'll see what the future bring us" 

I sighed and rested my head on his chest again. 

"Everything is happening so fast, it's scary" 

"We'll be alright"
