    Summary

    “I’m the Professor of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,” Margaret Trimble explained, smiling politely, “My own mother is a muggle, you see. So I understand that this all must be very confusing…but your daughter, Mary, is a witch.”

     

    A few weeks ago, some of the neighbourhood boys had found a dead cat in the empty lot where they usually played footie, stretched out between broken beer bottles and old bits of newspaper next to the bins. It had been back there for a while, and it was already half-rotted, with bits of fur still clinging and the eyes eaten out by flies. In that moment, sitting at her dining table, Mary felt as though someone had just stuck that dead cat inside her chest.

    Summary

    “I’m so, so sorry,” the man continued, wiping a bead of sweat from the side of his temple with the sleeve of his faded Blondie t-shirt. He wore ripped black jeans and black and white Chuck Taylors and had his own messy curls, just like the baby. “I had no idea Teddy would be such a handsy little fucker at these story times, but he’s always grabbing… fuck, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t say fuck in the children’s room. Shit, I did it again, I’m so sorry, I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me.”

    Summary

    “Please, I was just trying to—” Remus starts again.

    “—and I just got custody of him not that long ago and we’re fucking trying, alright? Also, he’s deaf, for Christ’s sake. That’s why he’s—”

    The sound of the world drops away, and Remus is extending both of his hands. On the top of each palm is a hearing aid. The other man’s mouth moves for a few more words, but Remus isn’t sure what he’s saying—he’s never been all that great at lipreading. When his pale-colored eyes stumble over his outstretched hands, his face grows flushed. Finally, mercifully, he shuts up.

    Grocery store stocker Remus Lupin teaches Sirius Black, a newly-appointed guardian to his deaf godson, how to use American Sign Language.
