Chapter 3: Finally, A Break Through and Meeting Remus

Time Skip

Bruce Banner's POV

It has been a week since Harry has been here with me. He still talks like he is my age, but he is starting to act like a normal five-year-old. I have gotten him some clothes that fit, and books so I could teach him after work. I am so proud of him. My son is a genius. He may be just five, but he is half way through the first-grade work books. He has picked up other languages like it is nothing. I still have some problems out of him though. Like getting him to act his age, to get him at the dining room table and to grab food, sit down and eat after he cooks. I know he loves to cook, but I really do need to get him out of the habit of either cleaning the whole house and cooking. He is an excellent cook, but he is five years old. I do not feel comfortable with him in the kitchen without me so, I try and be in there with him and help. If I don't he will just cook without me even if I tell him not to do it.

"Bruce dinner is on the table" Harry said.

"OK son. I want you to go ahead and serve yourself. I will be in at the table in a second." I told him hoping that he would do it this time and not just sit there waiting for me.

I walked back into the dining room and sighed in relief he did as he was told to do. As soon as he saw me he stopped eating and looked at me with a scared look on his face.

"Son, it is OK. In fact, I am proud that you set down and started eating before me. I know it is hard but how about we talk about the rules your old family have you. Can you tell me what they are?" I asked sitting down and serving myself.

"1. I will not ask questions. 2. I will not come out of my cupboard unless told to. 3. I will complete all my chores by the time Uncle Vernon gets back. 4. I will not take things from Dudley. 4. I am a freak and I must remember my place. 5. I will not make a sound. 6. I will not complain. 7. I will not get better grades than Dudley." Harry answered in a monotone voice.

I got up from my spot and went over to Harry, getting on my knees, and said. "Harry, you will forget those rules. Because you are my son now, and I want you to be you. No matter what. And you are not a freak. You are my son now."

"Really?" he asked finally sounding his age. Which I was happy about, because it meant that there was still a kid in there after all.

"Yes, really" I replied giving him a hug and getting up and going back to my seat.

After dinner I got called to a house and I decided to bring Harry with me. We were walking to Mrs. Garcia's place when we bumped into this man on the way there.

"Oh, I'm sorry" he started to say and then looked up from the ground where the man fell, and then said, "Harrison?"

"How do you know my son's name?" I asked him.

"May I ask his full name, and then I will tell you how I know?" He asked.

"My name is Harrison Jameson Potter but I go by Banner now. Now how do you know my name?" Harry asked even though I kind of wanted him to stay quiet and behind me.

"My name is Remus Lupin and I knew your birth parents"

"OK if you give me a few minutes we can discuss this and find out more about what is going on," I told Harry and this man.

We continued to walk to the house with this Remus guy following behind us. Once we got there I went in and checked on Mrs. Garcia and then went back out to where they were and we left. We walked back to the house with the guy and once we got to the house we went in and set down.

"Now can you please tell me how you know my son" I asked him.

"First of all, do you believe in magic"

"I don't know I never thought it even existed."

"I say it is not real, but can you prove me wrong?" Harry asked.

"Yes, I can," he replied waving some stick and surprisingly changed the book into a vase and then back.

"OK, magic is real what does it have to do with my son?" I asked.

"Your son is a wizard. When he turns 11 he will be getting a letter from a school called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. That is where I went and that is where your parents went. I am actually one of Harry's godparents but I wasn't able to take him because of what I am."

"What happened to my parents and can you tell me their names?" Harry asked.

"And If I may ask, what are you?" I asked him.

"Jameson Charles Potter and Lillian Rosalie Potter nee Evans was your parents' names. And to answer the other question I am a werewolf. You both must understand during the time you were born Harry, there was a war going on in the Wizarding World. Your parents went into hiding as soon as you were born due to a prophecy that was spoken. I don't know the prophecy so I can't tell you that. They were put into a safe house under The Fidelius Charm. That is a spell that hides houses and involves a secret keeper. Everyone suspected my husband of being the secret keeper but that isn't true."

"Why did they suspect him?" I asked.

"My husband Sirius Black and James was like brothers' pretty much. They used the person that no one would suspect our "Friend" Peter Pettigrew so they used him, but what we didn't know was that he was on the other side of the war. On Halloween of 2001 Peter gave their location to his leader and your parents was killed. Then Dumbledore took to your Aunt's and Uncle's taking you away from my husband and I. After Sirius went to prison, I went to the muggle world and got my GED, and Business and Teaching Diploma. I then got permission from the Queen and I am now starting a school for kids and others' that are suffering from my disease. I was also able to get custody of Harry. But when I went to get him he was gone. I am so happy that I have found him and he is safe." He said.

"Are you going to take him from me" I asked in a monotone voice.

"No, I can look at you two and tell that he is happy with you. And if I take him and certain people in the wizarding world find out that I have him, he will be taken from me and his memory erased. So, no I will not take him from you. I will though send books from the wizarding world. And the History books for England. Just take care of him that is all I ask" he answered.

"OK great. We will see you later," I asked.

"You won't see me until it is time for him to go to the Wizarding World," He answered.

"OK," I replied getting up and showing Remus to the door.

"Harrison, you be good for him and keep being you and you will make me and your parents proud. Never doubt that they don't love you." Remus said going towards the door.

"Is there any way to see my family tree?" Harry asked.

"Yes, I will send it with the books when I can." Remus answered walking out the door.

-Hogwarts-Headmasters—Office-

It has been five days since that boy has disappeared and the wards have fallen. Every instrument that I had connected to him broke or is just plain not working. I need to find him, so I can continue with my plans. That boy cannot be allowed to be more powerful than me. All he is supposed be good for is to be good little weapon that will sacrifice himself for any one. That is way I blocked the Potters wills and put Black in Azkaban. I finally have Lupin just where I want him. Nice and broken. I will call the team together and get them to look for him. He can't have gone far from the house.
