Summary
"I'm home!"
Remus looked up instinctively.
Harry stood in the doorway with windblown hair, grass stains on one knee of his jeans and a paper bag tucked beneath one arm, his glasses slightly crooked and his face flushed from the summer heat in that wonderfully familiar way that always suggested he had either been running, climbing something he absolutely should not have climbed, or both.
His brow furrowed. "Something strange happened on my way home."
Remus felt his stomach tighten.
"What happened?"
"I saw this really big dog."
"A dog?"
Harry nodded.
"Yeah. Huge. Black. Really skinny..." He frowned thoughtfully before looking back up at Remus. "It was just sitting across the street watching me."
The room seemed to grow noticeably colder.
"It disappeared when I got closer." Harry shrugged. "Weird thing is..." He smiled slightly, completely unaware of the colour draining from Remus's face.
"It looked just like your Patronus."
The mug slipped from Remus's hand.
It hit the wooden floor with a sharp crack, porcelain shattering as tea spread across the floorboards.
