Summary
After the infamous prank in their fifth year, not only does the trust between Remus Lupin and Sirius Black shatter, their secret romantic relationship falls apart as well. When Remus soon discovers that he’s pregnant, a magical near-impossibility, he chooses silence. He won’t raise a child in the shadow of betrayal.
But he isn’t as alone as he thinks.
Regulus Black, clever, underestimated, quietly broken sees through Remus’s secret and offers his help. Together, they flee to New York, magically conceal the child from the Black family’s legacy, and try to build a life in a world that doesn’t know them. Amid isolation, uncertainty, and growing trust, a deep friendship forms between them.
Back at Hogwarts, the absence is palpable: Sirius is silent, James keeps asking, and letters go unanswered. The Marauders feel too late what has quietly fallen apart and that some truths are not spoken, but lived through absence.
Because some things,
you were never supposed to know.
