*Hugs him back with a nervous laugh* Oh fuck! I can't believe you're here and you're okay! Are you glad to be out of hospital? I hate that place. The food is terrible and Ollie seems to be the only nice staff member. Do you like Dad's place? Is Tonks here too? It's not too noisy, is it? Have you met Ali? I wasn't even sure if you would want visito...
*Stops and steps back sheepishly* Sorry. I was rambling.
*laughs lightly* I'm all right, son! And you're not the only one who feels that way about hospitals. I think anyone who's been there will say the same thing. It was awful!
And I love being here. *smiles widely* Although I thought you were staying with Sirius as well. Oh, and Tonks is out right now. She said something about work.
And Ali? Yes, I've met her! She's some lady, isn't she? *shakes his head with a grin*
See? You're not the only one who can ramble on. *laughs*
I sta- live just a couple of blocks away from here. *Sits down and smiles in disbelief* I can't believe it. Are you coping okay? I mean, I know it must feel good to be back but...
Shit, I hope I don't look to weird for you. I know I've changed a bit since you last saw me. I guess we all have. That must be so weird. But then, I have been told from a reliable source that amnesia is a strange thing to deal with. That you keep wondering if you really are yourself...
*is shocked* What do you mean you nearly died? What happened? *hugs Harry tightly to him* Are you sure you're all right, son? Because I can and will try to get passed the fact that Draco is Lucius Malfoy's son if I know that you're truly happy with him. I just don't want your life ruined, Harry. I failed once in taking care of you and I don't ever want to do that again. I want you to be happy. That's all I ever wanted. *cries quietly*
Oh, Remi! No, fuck. You never failed me. How can you possibly have failed if your choices were taken out of your own hands? I don't think you failed me, same as I don't think Dad failed me. Things just happened. Arseholes wanting to ruin our life simply because of who I am. *Shakes his head bitterly*
I'm okay now. I... *bites his lip* I wasn't completely honest with you before. Draco and I are married. But that's not only it. We're Bonded. Blood Bonded. *Pulls his sleeve up and shows Remus his scar* I got really sick with blood poisoning after the ceremony. We were on our honeymoon in Australia and I got sick very quickly. Draco had to live through that. He thought I would die before Dad and Ollie got to me. There was about a week there where they all thought I would die. I guess I had too much to stick around for, huh? *Smiles slightly*
*sighs loudly* I know that it was out of my control but I can't help but think that I should have just stayed here and dealt with it. I should have stayed with you and Tonks and not ran off like some... coward.
*looks intently at Harry's scar* Bonded? I- You really do love him, don't you? And he does love you back. Because that's the only way that a Blood Bond can work.
*places his hand in Harry's arm* Are you sure that this is what you want? And that everything is all right?
I don't think you're a coward, Remi. When I'm hurt, I run too. Draco and I both do. It might not seem like the right thing now, but back then, you thought going away was best for everyone. You wanted the best for us, that is all that matters. It doesn't matter if it was right or wrong or not. You did it because you love us.
*Smiles* He really does love me Remi. More than life itself. I couldn't live without him. Actually, the Bond is still making it tough for us to be apart for too long. I couldn't be happier. With Draco, all the disasters and the dramas just don't seem so bad at all.
Ohhhh... oops. Um, bugger? *Grins* I think Dad should tell you that one!
Draco is mostly okay, but he gets bad migraines sometimes. We're lucky that is it. It could've been so much worse. Just like the only thing I got left with when I was sick was asthma. If you have your life, little things like that you can accept. Then, when you're together and you wake up next to him every day and feel him snuggled into your side, nothing else in the world seems to matter.
It's nice to hear you speak about your husband, son. Everything about you lights up when you talk about him and that only means that what you have now is indeed truly special. Don't ever let that slip away. What you have with Draco is something that most people can only dream of. I'm so happy to see like this - to see you deeply inlove.
You always told me I would be one day. *Smiles* I never believed you and you used to just smiled at me when I would laugh. It seems like a lifetime ago. It just feels like Draco has been with me forever. Those two kids in Hogwarts who used to want to jabs our wands in each other's eyes? It doesn't feel like us.
*Looks at him with a grin* How are things with Tonks?
