Missing Piece Part 15
Harry woke to a gentle touch smoothing his hair away from his forehead. Smiling up at Remus he maneuvered himself so they were sitting side by side against the headboard.
“Harry, if you don’t mind, I think that I’m ready to tell you more about the last 20 years or so.” Remus said, leaning into Harry’s side.
Harry leaned back into Remus, “I would like that, if you’ll let me fill in the blanks as well. There are several bios out right now, but none of them are terribly accurate.” Harry said, his amused tone telling Remus what he thought of people obsessed with his celebrity status.
“It’s a deal, I’ll make the tea and meet you in the living room?” Remus said, he had been feeling stronger over the last day or so and was able to move around on his own, albeit rather slowly.
A few minutes later both men were sitting at opposite ends of the small sofa turned to each other so that their ankles were brushing where they hung off the edge.
Remus sighed. “When I decided to leave I wanted to go far away. I thought that it would be safer, and I wanted to make sure that I wouldn’t hear any news of our world. I couldn’t stand the thought of article after article about your parents, or worse yet, lurid accounts of Sirius’s dark activities.”
Remus paused a moment and took a sip of tea.
“I went to Canada. The Canadian wizarding community is much more progressive and accepting than ours, the laws on werewolves are not nearly as strict. What I told you originally was partially true; I did spend a lot of time doing magical pest control of one sort or the other. When I was lucky I was hired as a tutor for magical children not old enough to attend wizarding school. That’s pretty much it. I’d like to take you there sometime, Toronto especially, there is a wizarding marketplace under Eaton Center I think you’d really like.”
“I’m looking forward to that, “said Harry, “I guess it’s my turn then.”
a/n: Sorry it's so short, but Harry's AU life is taking some time. I'll try to get caught up tomorrow.
