"Remus, Sirius!" Harry called from the kitchen where he was doing his homework.
"Yes, Cub, what is it?" both Sirius and Remus came to the doorway.
"I dropped my pencil," Harry hung his head in shame. He didn't like being this way, having this condition. He felt like a burden.
Remus and Sirius, being used to this behavior, knew exactly how to handle it. Remus went to Harry's side to comfort him wordlessly while Sirius sat down opposite them.
"Pup, this is not your fault. Some person up There has bigger plans for you," Sirius explained.
"Then why don't I know what they are!" Harry sobbed in his other guardian's chest.
"You have to find your purpose. I didn't know that my purpose in life was taking care of you until you were born."
"And the same goes for me," Remus let the words rumble in his chest.
"You just need to grow up a little more and then you'll understand."
"The only thing I understand is that I'm a waste of time and space! I'm just a useless ton of lard!" Harry screamed, sobbing, "No one loves me because I'm like this!"
"Harry, what your aunt and uncle told you is not at all how we feel. We do love you, and you are not a waste. You're our family. There is nothing we wouldn't do for you. Hear me? Absolutely nothing."
It was silent then, except for Harry's sobs. Finally, Harry fell into an exhausted sleep against Remus as the werewolf carded his fingers through the boy's dark hair.
"Merlin, I feel like -," Sirius said quietly, leaning back in his chair with a sigh.
"I know, but there's not a lot we can do. He has to figure this out for himself."
"Looks like he's down for the count. Hopefully tomorrow will be better," they both stood, taking Harry to his room to have a dreamless sleep.
