Alright, so I know I just uploaded a chapter, but I have to start writing again now, Otherwise I'll never get the chapter done in time.

Never Again, Cub. Never

Harry woke up quite a few times after the conversation from nightmares. Remus sighed and got up when he heard Harry's almost silent whimpers and shook him awake. He sighed and looked back sadly before looking back at Harry. "Come on, Cub, wake up. You're alright. You're safe. Just wake up."he whispered. He heard Harry's gasp when he woke and automatically staggered backwards when the young wolf shot himself into Remus's arms. Remus caught his balance and sighed, rubbing circles on Harry's back. He could feel the others watching and shook his head, letting Harry go when he'd calmed down again. He sat down in front of the chair in silence, turning to look at the others. Harry noticed everyone was still there and looked away, embarrassed. Sirius was beyond pissed at the Dursleys, knowing that Harry was plauged now because of them. He got up and paced, hoping to burn some of his anger away. Hermione got up and walked towards Harry, kneeling in front of him beside Remus to talk to him. "We have a plan figured out, Harry. You won't ever have to go back again. No matter what. You'll never be hurt again."she said softly. Harry looked at Remus for a comfromation, earning a nod. "Never. You know Pads and me wouldn't ever lay a hand on you in a harmful manner. Ever. You'll be safe. As for the Dursleys, well they can go to Hell for all I care."he said softly. Harry smiled at this. "I've been wishing that for years, really."he said, earning a few laughs.

After a while, everyone retired, Harry had been given a Dreamless Sleep potion and slept the rest of the night peacefully. Thankfully, it was Saturday, and they didn't have classes, so no one had to worry about Harry passing out during class. Once Harry woke up, he noticed that everyone by Sirius was awake and laughed, going over and pouncing on his godfather. "Ugh..Harry James, get off of me this instant."he snapped, still half asleep. Harry got up and backed away, his eyes dulling. Remus noticed this and sighed, throwing a pillow at Sirius. "Stop being a bloody git, Padfoot. He only wished to return a favor."he said. Sirius was more awake now and glanced over at Remus before looking at Harry. "Oh..sorry, Pup."he said softly. Harry shook his head. "No need."he said, looking at his godfather one last time before leaving to go get dressed for the day.

Harry headed down to breakfast later than everyone else, his eyes dull and downcast as he walked. He glanced at the doors before turning and going out towards the lake and sitting down beneath the birch tree there. He watched the water in silence. He looked back a few moments later when he heard footsteps. He sighed softly. Sirius and Remus. He turned his attention back to the water. Remus watched him and shook his head, sitting beside Harry. "This is the same place that we spent our free time in when we could."he said softly. Harry glanced at him, curious. Sirius nodded and sat on Harry's other side. "Yep. Prongs always had a snitch that he'd nicked in our third year. Moony always had a book. Wormtail was always hanging out in the tree and I was usually teasing the Giant Squid or endlessly annoying Moony so he couldn't read."he said softly, smiling innocently at Remus. "Oh yes, Padfoot. I believe that expression for any amount of time. He decided to..nevermind. I may tell you later, when I can't get hexed for it."he said softly. Harry smirked. "Oh, did Paddy have a crush?"he teased, making Remus blush and Sirius to look pointedly away. Harry burst out laughing. "How did I not notice before?"he asked softly. Sirius shrugged, ruffling Harry's hair before sighing.

The three were interupted in their story telling by Hermione, Ron and the twins, who came out and sat with them. They were glad to see Harry smiling and cutting up, but knew it was short lived. Harry greeted them happily, Hermione looked over at Remus, her expression sad. Harry caught it and sobered quickly. "What happened?"he asked. She shook her head. "Malfoy. Just wondering why you weren't there. He said that you were probably too ashamed to show your face after what happened in Defence. I had to pull these three away before they killed him with their bare hands."she said softly. She heard Sirius growl. "He may be distant family, but I'm not gonna watch him say stuff like that about Harry. He best keep his distance if he knows what's good for him." Remus glared at him but sighed. "I'll handle it later. What'd Dumbledore say about our plan?"he asked. Hermione nodded. "He gave the okay. But it'll have to be next weekend. It's a Hogsmeade weekend and we promised Harry we wouldn't go without him."she said.

After about an hour, Harry was finally able to breath correctly again. But he wasn't bothered by this fact, too bothered by the fact that he'd have to face this so soon.
