Love Is You

Chapter 5

     It was friday and Carina hasn't heard anything from her dad whole week. She was worried about him because he was staying alone. Carina decided to go to Remus's room to ask him if he got any letters from her dad. She knocked on his door and second later heard "Come in".

"Carina hi! How are you doing?" He smiled softly.

"Hey uncle Rem. I had better days to be honest." She sighed and sat down.

"Do you wanna talk?"

She nodded. "It has been so hard for me since the divorce. I am trying to keep it together for mum but... it is just too much..." her eyes were full of tears.

Remus poured some tea for her and handed her some chocolate while sitting next to his goddaughter.

"If crying will relieve you, you can cry. I understand that it is not easy for you and also you have to take care of your mum." He rubbed her back.

"Seeing mum like this hurting me so much. I am scared that she will hurt herself..."

"Shhhh Carina, she won't do that. If i know Scar, she doesn't hurt herself for someone's stupid act."

"I would say that too but she doesn't act like herself lately."

"She will feel better soon, everything is just so new right now. She wasn't ready for any of these stuff."

"Me neither." She sighed. "Thank you for being there for us."

Remus hugged her and kissed her head "You don't need to thank me, i will always be there for you all."

"Actually i came here to ask you about dad, have you ever heard from him? He didn't reply my letters and i started to worry."

Remus shook his head "No i haven't, actually i was thinking to go and check on him after my last period."

"I'd like to come with you and spend the weekend with him. I am still angry with him but he needs someone too..."

"That would be nice but what about your mum? Can she stay alone?"

"She doesn't get out of the room if i don't force her so i guess she will be fine and i can ask professor Snape to check on her about the pills."

"To Snape?"

"Yeah, it turned out they were classmates and mum talks to him, not much but still."

"Yeah they were... I need to go to my class Carina, meet me here after it okay? Then we can go."

"Yeah sure, see you later."

They both left the room, Remus went to his classroom and Carina headed to the potions class. Snape was marking some quiz papers.

"Hello professor."

"Hello." He kept marking.

"Can i ask you a favor sir?"

He nodded.

"I need to see my dad today and i am planning to spend the weekend with him and professor Lupin. Mum will stay here, could you please check on her occasionally?" She sighed "I know i am boring you with all my requests lately but some family issues are going on... i am sorry."

He put his quill down and looked at her.

"You don't need apologize Carina. I will check on her, do i need to know anything that she supposed to do or else?"
