ONHOLD Unknowable (Hp Fanfiction)(Raven Black Book 1)

Chapter 5 - The truth about the beginning

Raven is mine and so are any original plot points. The rest belongs to her majesty J.K.Rowling.

"Yes and how am I supposed to say it. Just go up to her and say 'Oh by the way, I'm your Uncle, sorry I didn't tell you'. She's been here almost a month. She'll kill me."

I sunk down to the ground, my back leaning against the cupboards. Remus was my Uncle...

Why hadn't he told me, I know he said it was hard but can it really be that hard to tell someone. I deserved to know right... Right!

Maybe he did have a good reason for not telling me. Oh, who am I kidding, of course he had good reason. He's the nicest person I've ever met. But if he was so nice them why couldn't he of just told me Why is he so scared? Oh but he still should've told me. I had no one and all I needed was some family but he didn't want me...

"I'm sure she wouldn't kill you." Arthur said in an exasperated tone.

"She has her mothers temper and his stubbornness; how could she not hate me. I feel horrible for not telling her but it's too late now. She'd never forgive me..." Remus almost whispered, sounding like his best friend had died.

Starting to get up I grab Arthur's tea and open the door to the Living room. At once they stopped talking, sharing strained glances. I walked over to Arthur, handed his cup over and headed out the room and ran up the stairs, tears threatening to spill from my eyes.

I was sprinting my the time I got to my room, slamming the door and falling onto my bed in a crumpled heap. Finally allowing the years to escape from my eyes as I sobbed into my pillow.

Less than a minute later I heard footsteps coming up the stairs but I made no move to change my position. There was a knock at the door but I made no noise to show I'd heard him.

"Raven I know your in there. I'm sorry. I really am." Remus said in a soft, pleading voice. " It was wrong of me not to tell you, trust me, it's hurting me as much as it hurts you... please just let me explain"

From the sounds of it he had sunk down his back leaning against the door. I got up did the same, showing him that I was willing to listen.

"I really am sorry. I was going to tell you but when I first met you in the woods I wasn't sure if it was really you. It all starts... well I guess it all starts when your mother, my sister, my twin sister, died. Yout mother was murdered along with our two best friends by an evil wizard who sought power. Although they died you and their son survived. The boy was taken to live with his aunt and uncle, but your father came and took you. Sadly your father had turned but he still loved you. He knew he couldn't trust himself to take care of you, so in a quick and rather stupid action he left you in the woods near my house and sent me a note telling me to collect you. When I received the note I went to find you where he had said but you weren't there. I thought you had died and I never forgave myself. But then after six years, there you were and you were alive. I didn't know how to tell you then because I didn't even know if it was really you or just my mind. I always wanted to tell you but I was scared. You remind me so much of your mother and I was scared of disappointing you. I was scared of loosing you aswell..."

"Remus..." I wispered my streak changing from its normal blue to a yellow of acceptance. I slowly got up and opened the door. There he stood in front of me, looking down at his feet and fiddling with his fingers nervously.

I looked at him for a moment the flung my arms around him. He stiffened the returned the gesture.
"So you forgive me?" He asked in a soft voice.
"Of course I do. That's what family's do right. They forgive no matter what."

Yay!!! I've finally finished it. I'm sorry it took me so long to update but I was revising, then I had exams last week and I have resently become in love with lord of the rings. I'll try and get the next chapter up sooner.
