Harry Potter and the abusive Dursleys
Chapter 10
Dedicated to my 100th reviewer Deathlyphoenix! Check out her amazing stories! :D
"Sirius!" Remus shouted once seeing his friend by the lake. Sirius, although hearing his name, didn't turn his head.
"Why did you behave like that?!" Remus asked angrily. This is when Sirius stepped into action.
"Why?! Do you want to know why? I-I...I just don't know" Sirius said dejectedly, sitting back down again.
"Sirius...Why?" Remus asked carefully, not wanting Sirius to do anything rash.
"I can't bear it Moony. I should of been there." Sirius said sadly, looking across the lake.
"It's not your fault Sirius. Nobody knew what Harry was going through" Remus reasoned.
"But it is Remus. If I had never swapped secret keepers..." Sirius went on. It always ended like this. Sirius always blamed himself what happened that night.
"Like I said Sirius. There was no way you knew that Peter was a traitor."
"We should of known! We shared a dorm with him" Sirius said angrily. It was hard to know when Sirius had his outbursts of anger, but living with Sirius for a few years, Remus knew a bit about it. (No slash of course! Sirius lives with him because he isn't technically free yet!)
"Sirius, although you may be angry at yourself, you had no right to be angry with Harry." Remus said hotly.
"Harry...Oh Goodness! What will he think of me now?" Sirius said, looking down. "Look Remus, I didn't mean to shout at him the way I did"
"You still did though. Non of this is yours or Harry's fault."
"Yeah..." Sirius went on. "I'll go and talk to him now" He said, standing up.
"No Sirius. He's sleeping at the moment, and I think you should calm down a bit more before going in." Remus said, looking pointedly at him.
"But-"
"No buts!"
"Your not my mother" Sirius said. "Nope...She's worse" he added.
Remus cracked a smile.
"What if he doesn't want to speak to me?" Sirius asked worriedly.
"Would you speak to me if I shouted something at you when it wasn't in your control?" Remus asked.
"Yes...Maybe...Okay, No" Sirius said miserably, looking down.
"Just give him a bit of time. I'm sure he'll come round. Think of what he's been through. He may compare you with his Uncle...the shouting and everything."
"WHAT?! He knows I would NEVER hurt him!" Sirius said, gobsmacked.
"I know Sirius...But the Human mind is a complex thing"
"What?? I don't know..." Harry said unsurely.
"He's been wanting to speak to you for 2 days now...You've got to see him one day." Remus said wisely.
"But...But what if he starts shouting again." Harry said, a little worriedly.
"I can asure you, he won't. I've spoken to him." Remus reassured.
"I just can't take it Professor." Harry said.
"I know Harry. And call me Remus, I haven't been your professor for 2 years now" Remus smiled.
"Okay...Remus." Harry said shyly.
"Harry?" A voice asked from the door. Harry's eyes immediately went to remus' and he could see the panicked look in them.
"Don't worry" Remus said, going tp pat Harry's knee but thinking better of it.
"Oh...There you are" Sirius said, stupidly, knowing Harry wouldn't be anywhere else with his injury's.
Harry gave a small smile. A very small smile.
"So...er...H-How have you been?" Sirius stutters. He literally winced at how he stuttered. Sirius black does NOT stutter!
"Fine...yeah" Harry said in a small voice.
"I'll go now" Remus said, and both Sirius and Harry looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Okay" Harry said softly. Whilst Sirius just watched him leave, not knowing what to say to Harry now.
"Erm.." There with the stuttering again! "Look, Harry...I didn't mean to shout at you."
Harry didn't say anything.
"I just...Was venting my anger out, and it was at the closest person. I was angry with myself, for putting you there in the first place."
"You didn't put me there Sirius." Harry said. Then something clicked. "I don't blame you...You know"
Sirius smiled a little sadly at Harry, before patting Harry on his head. Harry tensed and ducked out the way.
Sirius quickly brought his hand back, not knowing what was wrong.
"D-Do you want to play chess?" Harry asked suddenly, trying to get out of there awkward situation.
Sirius took the opportunity as well and quickly agreed.
"What? Can't beat old Moony?" Sirius joked.
"I heard that!" Remus said, standing by the door, holding his wolfsbane potion.
"ooh, You went to snillevus" Sirius said, grinning.
"Once again black, your name calling doesn't amuse me" Snape said, walking into the Hospital wing, behind Remus.
"Sod off Snape" Sirius said, before making a move on the chess board.
Snape just tutted, and went into madam pomfreys office.
"Where is Madam Pomfrey?" Snape asked Sirius, Remus and Harry.
"I don't know" Harry said, after sirius was trying to make up his mnd on a move.
"And why are you here, Potter?" Snape sneered.
"I had a little...accident." Harry said, reasonably.
"What? Another one of your pathetic Injury's?" Snape sneered.
"Shut it Snape!" Sirius shouted, not liking where this subject was turning.
"What? Aren't I allowed to say my opinion on the matter. What was it this time? Fighting a dragon? I don't see why Potter would want to come here when he can be treated like a prince at his relatives place."
And as soon as Snape had said that he knew something was wrong, as the look in Sirius' eyes could kill a man.
Harry hadn't a clue how this had all gotten out of hand and said the one thing he could think of.
