Remus finds out
Harry hid huddled in his room under his blankets. His head was so loud and all it was telling him was to cut. He couldn’t relapse though, it had been 2 years! Just do it just do it just do it. His thoughts told him. He gripped on to his arms as hard as possible nearly drawing blood.
