CHAPTER TEN
"It's going to be ok Harry, dear," Molly tried to soothe the sobbing child in her arms as she started to gently rock him back and forth. "They will both be back tomorrow."
"Do you want to meet my children?" Molly asked after Harry had eventually settled down and stopped crying.
Harry nodded shyly before Molly placed him on the floor and he followed her to her youngest son, Ron's bedroom. Harry hadn't had much experience with children his own age other than Draco and Duddly and he was so scared that they would be like his cousin and be mean to him because of his so called freakiness.
"Ron, this is Harry," Molly introduced as she and Harry had entered the bedroom. "Harry, this is my son Ron."
Harry had just sat down next to Ron when two more red headed boys walked in and walked over to where Harry and Ron sitting.
"Who's that Mum?" two identical boys asked as they sat down next to their younger brother and their young guest..
"This is Harry" Molly explained. "He is staying over tonight whilst his guardians are busy and I want you all to be nice to him. Harry, these are Fred and George."
The four boys nodded in agreement before Molly went to check on her youngest child and only daughter Ginny, leaving the boys to play in Ron's room.
"Hello, I'm Harry" the small dark haired boy introduced himself to the three bigger red headed boys. He was feeling shy about meeting the Weasley's because, other than Draco, he had never really had that many friends. Dudley had made sure of that along with his Aunt and Uncle.
"Hello Harry." the twins replied happily, the boy was much smaller than them but that didn't mean that they couldn't be friends with him.
"He's Fred," George informed Harry, just in case Harry forgot or if he didn't understand which twin was which as their mum hadn't really explained which of them Fred was and which was George.
"And he is George," Fred continued for his brother, they really liked to finish each other's sentences especially after they figured out that it really creeped some people out.
"It's nice to meet you," the twins finished together.
Harry giggled at the twins; he found it quite funny when they spoke like that, before he turned around to look at the other boy.
"Hello I'm Harry," he told the youngest boy, Harry smiled at him until he noticed the glare that Ron was giving. "Don't you want to play?" Harry asked shyly, he didn't know why Ron was looking at him like that; he hadn't done anything to make Ron hate him, had he?"
"Why would I ever want to play with you?" Ron demanded. "I would never want to play with such a big baby."
"Ron" Fred and George snapped at their younger brother. "That was mean and Mum told us to be nice to Harry."
"But look at him" Ron protested. "He's even smaller than Ginny."
"So?" George replied, he had no idea how Harry's size meant that Ron could be horrible to him or refuse to be his friend."What has that got to do with anything?"
"But he's even crying like a baby." Ron stated before turning to the now sobbing Harry. "You should go away; I don't want to play with you."
"Just ignore him Harry," Fred tried to soothe. "He is just a big bully."
"What happened here?" Molly shrieked as she entered the bedroom to see an upset Harry.
"Ron was being mean to him" the twins informed their mother. "He called him a big baby and said that he should go away because he doesn't want to play with him."
"Go and stand in the corner Ron and I'll deal with you later." Molly yelled at her youngest son before turning back to Harry. "It's ok Harry; dear, just calm down Sweetie. Everything will be ok."
"I want my Daddies" Harry cried as Molly tried to settle the small boy down.
Molly tried to calm Harry down for at least another 15 minutes before she finally admitted defeat and floo called Hogwarts in order to get Sirius and Remus to come over and get Harry.
"Daddy, Papa!" Harry cried out happily as the two men came out of the fireplace.
"Hey Cub," Sirius replied as he took Harry out of Molly's arms. "What is wrong sweetie?"
Harry didn't answer, choosing to reach over to Moony and give him his own hug instead, he didn't want to tell them what had happened with Ron just in case they agreed and decided that they didn't want him anymore. He didn't want to go back to his Aunt and Uncle and the idea of losing the first two people he could remember showing him love terrified him.
"Ron was bullying Harry," Molly explained, ashamed that he son was so horrible to Harry when he hadn't done anything to deserve it. It was usually the twins who caused the most trouble but from what she could see they twins seemed to be happy with being the small child's friend.
"It's not your fault Molly" Remus told the upset woman as he looked at the small child sadly, after all he was the only reason Harry had to go to the Weasley's in the first place.
"It's not your fault either Remmie" Sirius reassured, correctly guessing exactly what his husband was thinking. He had a habit of blaming himself when things went wrong, no matter what anyone said to try and persuade him otherwise.
Remus just nodded, still looking sad and guilty. He didn't really believe his husband, no matter how much he wanted to, if he wasn't such a monster then Harry wouldn't have to go away each month. Next month he just hoped that he could get Sirius to let Harry stay with the Malfoys instead.
"You're not a monster Rem," Sirius whispered in the werewolf's ear. "You are my beautiful husband as well as Harry's amazing Godfather and we both love you so much."
Remus smiled at Sirius, he always knew what to say to make Remus feel better, before looking at the sobbing child his arms. "Do you want to go home now Sweetie?"
Harry just nodded before snuggling closer to Remus' chest, he didn't understand why his Papa blamed himself for what Ron said but he hoped his hug would make him feel better.
"We are so sorry about this" Remus started as he and Sirius headed to the fireplace with Molly following them to say goodbye. He just hoped that they would be able to settle Harry down before he had to go to the shrieking Shack for the night.
"It's not your fault" Molly replied before the small family headed back to Hogwarts.
"Are you feeling better Cub?" Sirius asked as the three wizards settled down on the couch with Harry snuggled up between them.
"Yeah," Harry mumbled from his place in between his two Godfathers, he was so glad to be away from that mean boy and back with his daddies who both loved him and would look after him no matter how much of a freak he was.
They all stayed snuggled up on the couch for another twenty minutes before Remus stood up. "I've got to go."
"I don't want you to go," Harry cried as he reached out for Remus.
"I know Cub, but I'll be back in the morning." Remus reassured Harry who had started crying again. Remus didn't really want to go either but he knew that it was essential especially since he didn't want to risk his precious cub getting hurt.
"It will be ok Remmie," Sirius reassured his husband sadly, he hated being away from Remus on the full moon. "I'll look after Harry tonight and we will see you in the morning."
"Thank you Siri, I'll see you tomorrow Cub" Remus replied before leaving their quarters before he started to cry as well.
"It's going to be fine Harry; Remus will be back as soon as he can I promise." Sirius told his still crying Godson.
Harry didn't answer his Godfather but he did start to calm down after all both Sirius and Remus had reassured him that his Papa would be back the next day and they wouldn't lie to him, would they?
"I think that it is time for a certain little boy to go to bed." Sirius stated as he stood up and gently picked up his godson.
"Can I sleep with you?" Harry asked shyly, as he fought back a yawn.
"Of course you can Cub." Sirius replied before he carried Harry to bed. Harry was asleep before they had even reached the bed.
Once Harry was comfortable Sirius went to floo Lucius, he knew that Remus wouldn't feel his best tomorrow but he was also positive that Harry would want to see Draco tomorrow especially with how bad his meeting with Ron had gone. He just had to make sure that they came in the afternoon so they Harry would have some time with Remus first.
