Chapter 2 Call Me Remus
When Remus arrived in his house he immediately set Harry down on the couch and ran over to the fire. He threw some calling powder into the fire and 'called' Albus Dumbledore. Albus's head appeared in the fire. "Albus, you must come at once. Harry's in a really bad shape so bring Poppy with you. Moody and Tonks stayed to get Harry's stuff and notify the Dursley's of his departure" Remus explained.
"I will come at once, as soon as I fetch Poppy" Albus said, before disappearing. Remus ran frantically back to the couch where Harry lie, passed out. He took one look at the young wizards face and felt guilty for not coming sooner. No time to feel guilty now though, was there. He decided he should write to Molly and Arthur. The letter was short and to the point. It read:
Dear Molly and Arthur,
I'm afraid I'm writing with bad news. Albus and I decided that Harry's letters weren't very Harryish and that there might be something wrong. When I got there today he was in a wretched state. Poppy and Albus will be over soon. I think it best if you guys don't come, but I'll call you as soon as we have any news. I know how much you care for that boy and I have a feeling that he'll be alright.
Best,
Remus
'That will have to do', Remus thought. Than he sent it off with his owl Freddy. He heard a stirring on the couch and immediately ran over to see what Harry was up to. Harry was lying there with his eyes open, examining his surroundings with a sense of fear. Where was he?
"Hey kiddo, I see that you're up" Remus said, ruffling his hair affectionately. He winced. Wonder what that's all about?
"Where am I?" Harry asked. Before Remus could answer there was a big pop and across the room stood Albus Dumbledore and Poppy Pomphrey.
"You are at Remus's house" Dumbledore said, answering Harry's question. "I have brought Madame Pomphrey with me, she is going to inspect you"
Dumbledore said, while looking Harry over.
"Albus, I'm going to need to ask you and Remus to leave while I examine Mr. Potter" Poppy said. Dumbledore shook his head in consent but Remus wasn't so easy to convince.
"May I stay Poppy? I won't disturb you, I'll just observe, I promise" Remus asked. Poppy looked Dumbledore and than just shook her head in consent as Albus left the room.
"You will notify me of his status when the check-up is over I suspect" Dumbledore confirmed as he left.
"Of course" Poppy assured him. Poppy than walked over to Harry who was still lying awake on the couch.
"This would be a lot easier if you stood up Harry, do you think you're in the condition to be able to do that?" Poppy asked gently while smiling down at him. Harry stood up from the couch and looked at the nurse expectantly.
"Do you think you could take off your clothes Harry?" Poppy asked gently. "I have to give you a full body exam" she explained, after Harry looked at her incredibly. Harry looked a little uncertain and very embarrassed as he sat down and took off his shoes and socks. He then went on to remove his shirt. Right as he was reaching for his pant button Poppy interrupted him with:
"Oh Harry, you can leave your boxers on" Poppy assured him. Harry looked a little relieved and than slipped off his trousers. Remus in the mean time had been staring at Harry's back, which had huge whelch marks on it. He could only imagine how those got there, though he hoped he was wrong. He then snapped back to reality and watched as Poppy probed, felt and scanned Harry with her hands and her wand. All of a sudden Poppy's face dropped a few shades and she shook her head dramatically.
"What happened Poppy?" Remus asked, with panic in his voice.
"Hold on" Poppy said as she walked into the room Dumbledore was in.

"Albus, I'm afraid that some very serious things have been called to my attention" Poppy said. "Stuff that I'm not legally aloud to tell Remus without your permission sir" she added. Albus knew this must be serious but he also knew that if Remus was going to become the next Sirius, he needed to know.
"You may tell him everything about Harry's health from now on Poppy" Albus responded calmly. Poppy looked at him in a mix of disbelief and sorrow, but than just walked into the other room.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"What is it?" Remus asked again. While she was gone, he had just looked at Harry but he looked as clueless as him, mask or not.
"There are a number of things that have come to my attention Remus, none of them very pleasant" Poppy said quietly, to prevent Harry from hearing. "Along with a little bit of internal bleeding and outer cuts, which I can cure easily enough, I have also found mass amounts of foreign semen in Harry's blood stream. I can only guess that whatever homosexual sex occurred, it was not consensual.
Although all of his physical deformities can be cured easily enough, I'm genuinely concerned for his mental health, as I think that all of this must have had an effect on him. I will patch him up to the best of my abilities and than turn him over to you and Albus, if that's alright" Poppy said matter of factly. Remus just stared blankly into space, before nodding in reply. Poppy than got to work casting healing spells on her patient. Albus than walked into the room and spoke to Remus:
"I'm expecting you to take care of Harry once Poppy and I leave" Albus said. "He's lost both Sirius and James, so I hope you're ready to become a fatherly figure in this boy's life" he added.
"I'm prepared to be anything and everything that Harry needs me to be" Remus replied, feeling an immense wave of strength run through him.
"Of course, of course, I know you love Harry dearly" Albus said. "Are we done Poppy?" Albus said turning to the nurse, who had walked away from her patient. She nodded her head in consent and Albus and her disapperated (sp?) from the room. Remus walked up to Harry who was lying on the couch and staring up at the ceiling, still unclothed.
"Hey pal, why don't we get your clothes back on and than we can talk about all of this" Remus said gently.
Authors Note: Hey guys, thanks to all who reviewed (Kangaroo, Englishgirl, Moongirl, brokenhalos and Hawkeye10). I didn't mean to leave you at a cliffhanger ( though I don't promise never to do that), it just seemed like a good place to stop. I'll try to have the next chapter up by this weekend, probably late Friday. I'll update my other fic than as well. Thanks all of you and REVIEW!!!
