Becca's Pov

I'm in so much trouble.
They're surrounding me like a pack of wolves, hungry wolves.
I don't understand why they're soooo mad. I mean yes I've just nearly died but I saved Sirius and survived so why are they yelling.
I'm snapped out of my thoughts by someone shaking me by the shoulders and pulling me into a bone-breaking hug. Remus. I get he's my parent figure on paper but I don't get why he's acting the part.
"You scared the hell out of us. Don't you ever try it again. Do you understand?" he practically growls at me. Chuckling slightly i nod saying "Yes but if I don't scare you how will I turn you grey... Daddy?" a groan is the only response before I'm ripped away and into someone else's embrace.
"Please. Don't ever do that again. I couldn't survive without you and Conrad, Bec. They're all right... When they compare you to my parents, they're right. I feel safe. Like they're here with you two are around. So don't leave me." Harry's voice breaks a bit as if he's holding back tears. I wrap arms around his torso and whisper sweet nothings in hope to bring comfort to him.
I'm passed around from embrace to embrace. Until everyone has at least hugged me or yelled at me once... Except him.
I turn to see his back to me and i know I've hurt him. Sighing deeply i walk over and place my hand on his shoulder. He turns, dried tears marking his beautiful face and eyes - sadness, fear and anger only adding salt to the wound. I turn him so he is fully facing me then cupping his cheeks in my small hands I begin to wipe away the tear trails as I slowly (instinctively) lean in. I kiss him. A soft yet meaningful kiss. One I will never forget. I lean my forehead against his and whisper "I'm so sorry. I'll never ever do it again. Please. I love you. Will - will you go out with me, Conrad? "

"Yes."
