Orphaned Potter
Chapter 9
Sirius and Remus immediately went to Hogwarts that day, the headmaster and the teachers of Hogwarts had known for nearly a day. They wanted the headmaster's advice, also to try to get the headmaster to get them to change their minds. They could not cope with the fact that their godson is out there somewhere thinking no one loved him. What else would you think if your parents abandoned you?
"Headmaster can we speak to you for a minute?" asked Remus coming into the Great Hall. The students had already left dinner having been finished, the teachers had sat there for a while talking.
"Can I help you Remus?" asked Albus kindly. He had a feeling he knew what this was all about.
"Um well you see I think James and Lily are having a mental break down. They gave Harry away because he could talk to snakes and we are hoping we could get you to go there and try and change their minds about it or even under the imperious," said Remus.
"I have already tried Remus I am sorry, we have known since last night. Harry was supposed to come to Hogwarts for a while give Lily and James a rest and Harry some fun. He is defiantly not under the imperious curse or you and I would have known," said Albus.
"Are you sure there is no way you could talk James and Lily out of it or even where the orphanage is that they took him too?" asked Remus getting desperate.
"I'm sorry, Remus, I'm really sorry. I have tried they won't be moved," said Albus sharing their despair.
"Sorry is not good enough! Harry is sitting in some orphanage probably scared his parents have just abandoned him for Merlin's sake!" yelled Sirius.
"Sirius!" Said Remus. Knowing that shouting at the headmaster was not going to get them anywhere.
"Sorry headmaster I guess I'm worried. We need to start looking into the orphanages for him," said Sirius.
"Of course the orphanages shut after dinner to visitors so we will need to go at lunch times check them out then," said Remus.
"Why after dinner?" asked Albus.
"Because it gets dark plus they have young children in the orphanages that need sleep," said Remus.
"Actually its six they shut at" said Severus coming into the conversation.
"How would you know?" asked Remus curiously.
"I just do," said Severus. He did not want to explain how he knew to everyone.
"Fine that's just longer we have to look," said Sirius.
"Well we can't tonight," said Remus with a sigh. There was nothing they could do tonight now it was far too late to start looking.
"I don't think I've ever felt so useless in my life! James has never been like this I don't understand," said Sirius.
"I don't think its Potter," said Severus.
"What do you mean?" asked Remus.
Albus and all the other teachers were surprised they were able to have Severus and Sirius in the same room without them hexing each other. They were happy that they were actually getting together and trying to do something productive for a change.
"I just don't think its Potter that's changing I personally think its Evans that's changing him" said Severus.
"Why would you think it was Lily?" asked Remus totally mystified.
"Well Potter has never had anything against you until now, he has always bragged about wanting children. Even I have to admit then he would never have gotten rid of his children I really think its Evans. Who found out that Harry was a parslemouth?" asked Severus.
"Lily" said Remus.
"There you go then, she has either lied to you to get the other kid away or he really is and she doesn't want him any where near her other son he is after all the savior of the wizarding world Harry is nothing against him" said Severus the last part sarcastically.
"I don't think she would do that," said Remus. What Severus was saying sounded plausible but so far fetched.
"Anything is possible," said Severus.
"What is going on anyway?" squeaked the small voice of Professor Flitwick. Asked the small man as he walked in to the great hall, seeing all the people in it.
"James and Lily gave up their son because he was a snake speaker," said Albus sadly.
"Just because he could talk to snakes?" asked the teacher shocked Lily had been a favorite of his.
"Yes"-said Minerva.
"But surly Lily did not agree?" asked an astonished charms teacher.
"We think maybe Lily is behind this whole thing," said a tired Remus.
"Lily would not do a thing like that," said the teacher.
"Well it doesn't matter if she did we have lost James and now Harry we need to find him" said Remus.
"Lost James?" asked Flitwick in confusion.
"He is no longer our James any more," said Sirius sadly.
"I see," said the teacher.
"Thanks for the help anyway, I'm just going to go back to Lupin's lodge we are going to stay the night as soon as we can we are going to look in the magical orphanages and then the muggle ones. They could have dumped him anywhere," said Remus.
"I would go from the furthest to the nearest first. It's a possibility that they put Harry as far away as they could get him," said Albus.
"Good idea" said Sirius.
"Good bye Albus, Professors" said Sirius not used to calling them anything but he did not even looking at Severus Snape. Severus against his will had gotten Sirius Black's respect. He may hate the man but he had saved the lives of those who he had thought of as family, not anymore now.
They walked out of the school and began making their way to the apparition point. Remus apparated them both into his home, Lupin's Lodge. He pulled out the beds that had been a sofa until they had moved it. Remus usually just slept down there not wanting Sirius to be lonely down the stairs.
"Do you think we will ever find him Remus?" asked Sirius.
"I don't know Siri I just don't know," said Remus tiredly.
"The full moon is in a couple of days I just hope we can find him before then or we won't be able to look for him for a whole week while you get better" said Sirius.
"You can go look for him you know I will be alright," said Remus.
"No I have never left you on your own before or after the full moon for a long time and I won't do it now, not after you have just lost two in your pack," said Sirius.
"Thank you Sirius" said Remus he was glad he had such a friend.
"Your welcome. I still can't believe that James would do this to him and us," said Sirius.
"Neither can I Sirius neither can I" said Remus.
The lights had been off the entire time; soon, there was only the sound of even breathing in the room. Telling everyone that the two people in there was asleep. They twisted and turned all night, having horrible dreams. They just hoped and wished that their cub would be brought back to them safe and unharmed.
