Shortly after Harry had gone to sleep, Remus finished with dinner.
Remus walked out into the living room to tell Harry that it was time for
dinner, but when he saw Harry lying asleep on the couch, he thought better
of it. He probably hasn't had a decent night's sleep in a long while,
thought Remus. I think I'll let him sleep for just a bit longer. Just then,
Sirius came back from sending Dumbledor an owl.
"Remus! Harry! I'm back!" Shouted Sirius, clearly seeing that Harry was not sleeping.
"Ssshhhhhhh!" Whispered Remus, "he's sleeping."
"Oh! Sorry," replied Sirius. Sirius began to carefully eye Harry, suddenly, a blue spot caught his eye, then he noticed a purple spot. Both were on Harry's small body. Sirius, without thinking, gasped.
"What is it Padfoot?" Asked a concerned Remus.
"They hit him, Mooney. They hit him all the time. How could Dumbledor have let him live with those horrible muggles? What did he ever do to deserve such a harsh, unloving life?"
"Padfoot, you know as well as I do that Dumbledor has his reasons."
Sirius' voices slowly began to rise. "So, Dumbledor had planned for this to happen for a reason? Dumbledor has a reason for this young boy to be beat constantly when he isn't at Hogwarts or at the Burrow? When Harry isn't watching his back against Voldermort, he has to watch his back against that plump of a muggle Vernon! He-" Remus cut him off.
"Padfoot, I know how you feel. I am just as upset with Dumbledor's decision as you are, and you have every right to be upset. But please, can you lower your voice or take it into another room so that we don't wake Harry?"
"No. It's ok. I'll be fine." Although Sirius' voice was not too convincing to Remus, however, Remus decided not to press the topic.
"He looks so peaceful, doesn't he," said Sirius, eyeing Harry again. Remus nodded. But looks can be very deceiving…
