Ch. 2 Remus's House (Privit Dr. following Saturday) Harry had his trunk packed, downstairs, and ready to go early Saturday morning. Then he went to the kitchen to make breakfast for his Aunt and Uncle. His large cousin Dudley had decided to spend the night before and that day at his one and only friend's Piers Polkiss house to avoid anymore nasty run ins with wizards. Every time Dudley had meant a real wizard he had come out the worse for it with either a pigtail, abnormally large swollen tongue, or turned into a carnary (Fred and George had managed to get Ron to slip him a carnary cream when him and their father had come to pick up Harry the year before.) As Harry was placing the eggs and bacon on the plates Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia walked in glaring at him. The Dursley's were as muggle as one could be and hated anything to do with magic especially Harry. "What time are those freaks getting here?" Uncle Vernon snapped at him. "I'm not sure. The letter just said they'll be here some time today." Harry told him. Uncle Vernon started complaining about how inconsiderate it was not to tell them when where coming just as the doorbell rang. Harry ran to get it and saw Remus Lupin, a young-looking man with light brown-hair with flecks of gray in it and dark brown eyes, and the dark-haired woman from the picture holding a leash attached to a big black dog that didn't look too happy about it. Harry grabbed the door to keep from falling over laughing, while the dog growled at him. "Hello Professor, mam, Snuffles," he was able to get out between laughs. "Hello Harry. Just call me Remus, this is Arwen Ambria Black." Harry just stared at them in shock. "Hello Harry , just call me Arwen or Snow Pawz."(Arwen's animagis form is a snow leopard.) "I found this mutt," she said nodding to Sirius who growled at her in response, " wandering around Moony's house. It was so dejected and ragged looking that I felt sorry for it and took it in." Harry stood aside to let them in just as Vernon and Petunia came in from the kitchen. When she saw Arwen Petunia just glared even more hatefully at her then she usually did at and of Harry's kind and at the sight of the dog in her hall Petunia pursed her lips. Vernon started yelling at Harry "As if having to have freaks in this house to pick you up wasn't bad enough but they have to bring their damn freak mutt with them!" advancing on Harry. "Don't worry he's fully trained…" Remus began moving in between Harry and his Uncle just as 'Snuffles' pulled the leash out of Arwen's hand and jumped on Vernon growling. At this point Petunia began screaming " Get you dog off of my husband you freak. You've haven't changed since the last time I saw…." Arwen pulled out her wand " You had better wait outside Harry. Remus and I will handle this," she told him glaring at Petunia, while Remus tried to pull 'Snuffles' off of Vernon. Arwen used her wand to shrink Harry's things, put them in her pocket and picked up Hedwig's cage with the owl inside. Remus finally got 'Snuffles' off of Vernon and they hurried out. They walked a little way off with Harry holding the leash to a wooded area. "You knew my parents and Aunt Petunia?" he asked Arwen. " I went to school with you parents, Remus, Sirius, and Peter. I know Petunia because I spent the summer at your moms house one year," she explained as they walked. Once the got to the woods they took a port key to Remus's house. (Remus's House) "Was that really necessary Sirius?" Remus asked as they appeared in his living room and the dog transformed in to a man with shoulder length black hair and black eyes. "He deserved it! You saw how he was advancing on Harry, it looked like he was going to start beating on him! Besides did you see the look on Petunia's face when I jumped on him." Sirius and Harry busted out laughing. Remus rolled his eyes while Arwen tried to look disapproving with was ruined by the fact you could she was trying to keep from laugh unsuccessfully. Remus sighed, "Let's take you stuff to your room Harry." Sirius grabbed Harry's trunk which Arwen had restored to regular size. Remus's house was a small one story house with three bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and a den. "You room is right in between Arwen's and mine and Moony's." Sirius told him. " The bathroom is right across the hall from you." Arwen put in, "Thanks guys." Harry said as he walked in to his room. It had a double bed with red blankets on it, besides the bed was a table with a light and clock on the wall across from wall was a wardrobe and next to it a desk with another light. On the outside wall the was French Door leading out to the back yard. There were many pictures of his parents and friends on the walls and the desk, "So what do you think?" Remus asked. "It's great thank you so much." They left him to get settled into the room.After he was done Harry went to the den and sat down next to Sirius. On the coffee table was a copy of the picture he saw in the album they gave him, "Hey who are the other girl and the babies in that picture?" All three got sad expressions on their faces, "The baby I'm holding is Sirius's and my son Adam. The ministry took him away from me after Sirius was arrested because of my connection to Sirius. We're not sure what happened to him." Arwen told Harry as Sirius put his arm around her shoulder. "The girl next to me was my wife Vanessa. She left me about two years after your parents died and took our daughter Katlyn with her. I've never heard from them since, I was depress at the time and she couldn't handle it." Remus told him. "Sorry for bring it up." Harry told them arkwardly. "It's ok Harry."
They talked some more about Harry's parents and their time at school. Harry found out that Arwen and Lily had meant on the train their first year and became fast friends even though Arwen had been placed in Ravenclaw. Also she was his godmother. Even though Vanessa hadn't been close with any of Remus's friends his parents had been Katlyn's godparents and Remus and Vanessa were Adam's godparents.
Later Harry excuse himself to go write to Ron and Hermione to arrange a date to meet them in Diagon Alley. Before he gave Hedwig the letters he glanced over them one last time.
Ron
Hey I'm at Remus's house with him, Snuffle's and Snuffle's wife! (he smiled as he pictured the reaction that comment would bring out of his best friend) Write me to tell me when you're going to Diagon Alley. I have something to tell you and Hermione.
Harry
The letter to Hermione said pretty much the same thing. Afterwards he climbed into bed (after checking to make sure it was safe). One of the topics they talked about earlier was all the pranks the Marauders had played while at school. Within minutes he was fast asleep not noticing the two figures creeping into the room.
