Chapter 37

"Dorea!" Charlus exclaimed as soon as he saw her and hugged her tightly to his chest. 

"Charlus, I missed you." Dorea said clutching him tighter. Charlus just hugged her and buried his face in her neck not saying anything. No one said anything for a while and let them hug each other in peace. 

"You are back with me. I thought I lost you." Charlus finally choked out and Dorea bit her lip to not cry again as she did with James. She just rubbed his back and breathed in his scent. "I'm so glad that you are back, Dorea."

"You need to take these potions." Severus interrupted them. "I'm sorry for breaking this moment, but you need to take them everyday until we are sure that you are going to be fine." 

"What do you mean?" They asked looking at him confused and James looked at Severus hopeful. 

"Draco helped me make this potion. I don't know if this is the exact potion to cure Dragon Pox, but I'm going to try harder. I wasn't able to concentrate because Dorea was kidnapped." Severus said and James hugged him not caring about anyone else in the room. 

"You did it!" James said to him. "I knew you can do it, Sev. I knew it." James said and Severus looked at James' parents awkwardly before patting him on the back lightly. Severus didn't know what to do as James continued to hug him. 

"Thank you, Severus." Charlus was the one to break the moment between them. Severus was awkward only because James' parents were looking at him at the moment. "We trust you."

"That's-" "Grandma!" Holly ran towards them before Severus can finish saying anything and hugged her. 

"Holly, baby. Thank you so much for finding me. I knew that it must be you when you tried to form the link." Dorea said kissing her cheeks. 

"I knew it. I was surprised when  the link formed successfully, but I knew that you must've known it was me. You are damn intelligent, Grandma." Holly said grinning at her wetly. Dorea smiled back and stroked her cheek. 

"Potions. Take them first. We can talk later." James said to them and Holly looked at the potion and grinned at Severus who smiled back at her. 

"I knew you could do it, Severus." She praised him and he just nodded his head with a small thanks. 

"You should've seen Draco talking to Dumbledore. He was trashing the old man so bad." Holly said once they took the potions.

"Yes, we can talk about what you boyfriend did. First, let me hug my mum." Sirius said pulling her away from Dorea and hugged her tightly. "I missed you, mum." 

"Me too, Siri. I'm so sorry for leaving like that." She whispered and he kissed the side of her head. 

"I'm so angry at you for hiding about the dragon pox. What if something happened to you and I didn't even know? How can you even think that I would let you go? I love you so much. I would've joined earth and sky to get the cure for dragon pox." Sirius said seriously and Dorea chuckled at him. 

"I didn't want you to worry about me, Siri." Dorea said and Sirius shook his head. 

"You shouldn't have hid anything from me, Mum. That's not fair." Sirius said just as Remus pulled him away. 

"My turn, Padfoot." Remus said hugging Dorea who sighed into his chest. "I agree with Padfoot that I'm angry at you, but I was worried too. So much."

"I know." Dorea whispered into his chest. 

"Don't do something like that again. Don't leave the house without telling anyone. At least ask an elf to inform one of us before you go. We almost got a heart attack." Remus lectured and Dorea chuckled.
