[Part One of Two]. [AU - SLASH]. Half way through Harry's summer, Dumbledore sends someone to check on him. Preconceptions are destroyed, new friendships are gained and new relationships with a notoriously sarcastic and disgruntled Potion's Professor seems to change the course of Harry's life once again. [WARNINGS: Mentions of alcohol, drugs, abuse and sex].

Remus couldn't believe the nerve of the Dursleys, hurting his godson. Of course, there wasn't much he could do other than try to make Harry's life better than it had been. But..without help, that would be very highly unlikely to happen, and even then, it would be a challenge, one he was willing to take on. Rated for future chapters, just in case.
