Remus placed himself in a chair opposite of Albus. It was late afternoon, he finished with packing, and sending all his things beforehand to Leaky Cauldron. The only thing left was to say his goodbyes. Old wizard was looking at him over his half-moon glasses.

"Remus, my boy, toffee?"

"No, thank you, Albus."

"I'm afraid my boy,..." Started Albus, but, he cut him off.

"Albus, I know. I understand the situation. I do not understand Sirius, but then again he was never much of a thinker, to begin with."

"Yes, most unfortunate. Pity."

"What was done is done. No use on pondering over it. I did hope to spend more time here, but my work is finished, all grades assigned. I came to say goodbye."

"Did you..."

"Yes. He was in my quarters a few hours ago, the Link is broken."

"You sound sad."

"I feel like I lost something."

"Is all alright?"

"Yes, physically I'm not different in any way, but..." He waved his hand. "This is just a stupid notion."

"You care for him."

"Yes, deeply. I consider him my friend, even if he denies me of the same feelings." He paused and Albus looked at him carefully, waiting. "Albus, can I ask you something?"

"Of course, and I will do my best to answer you."

"Why..., why did you do that to him?"

"Did what?"

"Make him swear an oath not to harm me. How could you place him in such danger, defenceless?"

"My dear boy, Severus is many things, one thing he is not is defenceless. Not even with his feet and hands tied and his eyes blinded. I never placed him in more danger than he can handle."

"I think you are wrong Albus. I think you misjudge him greatly. He was in a danger, much bigger than you anticipated, and not from me. Maybe you don't know him as good as you think."

"What on earth made think that?" Albus sounded amused.

"For one, you placed me at his quarters. He,.... You separated him from Henry."

"Severus told you about Henry?"

"Well, not told me, he is a private person, but I overheard Dobby and him talking, he asked Dobby to send his message to Henry."

"Ah. Well, I can assure you that there is no harm in my actions."

"I don't know, Albus..."

"Trust me, my boy. Severus can afford to be separated from Henry, no harm will come to them by my actions." Smiled Albus. "Now, I arranged you to stay in Leaky Cauldron until your work for Gringotts starts."

"Thank you. I already sent my things. If that is all, I would like to say goodbye to Severus and leave."

"Didn't you already parted?"
