A Bouncy Baby Boy
Chapter 2
Job Hunting and Shopping?

"I'm sorry Mr.Lupin we are not looking for someone with your qualifications. I'm truly sorry. Why don't you try somewhere else." Said the beefy man from Lukins Library. Remus Lupin walking out of his tenth job interview this week. If you do not know Remus has a condition that causes him to form into a werewolf during the full moon. * What is wrong with people these days! Being a werewolf has nothing to do with the job performance that I am required to do! All I want is a low paying job that can get me off my feet. Why was I so foolish as a child to walk out into the woods at night.* He mused his thoughts along this line when he finally reached home. The Moonlight Manor. He walked in took his torn trench coat off and threw it onto the table. He walked into his living room, picked up his newspaper and opened it up to the Quiditch page. Suddenly an old mans head popped out of the fire place. "Remus, are you there?"
"Yes professor. What do I owe this pleasure to?" Remus replied simply.
"Oh, Remus please call me Albus you are no longer a student, but back to the point. Would you mind if I stepped into your house, so we can talk?"
"Of course Prof.I mean Albus." As soon as he finished the sentence a tall figure walked out of the old rickety fireplace.
"Remus how good to see you in person again. When was the last time? Was it."
"Harry's birth Albus. Now I am sure you did not come to talk to me in person on daily topics. Now please get to it." Remus replied impatiently.
"Yes, yes of course. Well as you know Young Harry has been put under the care of Mrs. and Mr. Dursley for the past year." Albus sat down and with the wave of his wand a cup of tea appeared. He took a few sips and then beckoned Remus to sit down also. "Well by a friend of mine, Arabella has told me she has spotted Harry being hit and yelled at. She also noticed how under fed he is, she said he looked like a one year old instead of two"
Remus paled an enormous wave of sadness filled over him. Lily's and James little boy, the first boy he had ever fed or took care of. He loved little Prongs. How cold someone be this cruel. He is a child for heavens sake! A child!
Remus regained his ability to speak and said, " Why? Why Albus? A child, Albus a child. We have to do something. He was the little Prongs." Maybe it was because of the problems of a job, or lack of sleep, but Remus broke down and cried.
Remus vision was overwhelmed with memories of baby Harry. Happy and smiling. His first Christmas, his first broomstick ride with Sirius, and his first sign of magic. Then a darker vision overpowered the happy memories. Little prongs crying with bruises up and down his little body.
" Remus, its going to be all right. I promise." Albus chided the crying man. He could relate too easily.
"Tell me how Albus. Tell me!" Remus by now was out of his mind in worry. " I got to go Albus I have to find him,. I have to save little prongs." Remus reached out for the door handle when the door magically locked. "Well I'm glad you want the job" Albus muttered.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU OLD FOOL! THEY WERE RIGHT BACK AT SCHOOL YOU ARE TRULY OFF YOUR ROCKER! TEHRE IS A TWO YEAR OLD BEING ABUSED AND TEHRE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT IT, AND YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A PLAN! WELL HERE IS THE PLAN ALBUS UNLIKE THE DOOE SO I CAN GET MY CHILD! "What did you say Remus? You said "my child"! Well you better listen to this crackpot, I'm willing to let you adopt Harry and I will supply you with money for your services. Under some conditions, though." Albus replied smiling broad. "Anything Albus, anything."
"First off with the 500,000 gallons that I'm going to give you, you buy the largest and most expensive house there is and fill it with good quality furniture. Secondly get Harry up to speed on what a two year old should be doing. With what Arabella told me he has a problem with walking and keeping balance. Also his speech is terrible." Albus paused to look at the new guardian with admiration in the young mans eyes. "Thirdly raise him to be a Potter not a Malfoy. Lastly let him have a good life." "Thank you Albus. Thank you, for everything. I'll follow your conditions to the best I can. Three questions. What about my disease? When can I pick up Harry? Is he potty trained?" " Your questions listed in order. He will stay at Hogwarts, as soon as a inspect your new home, and no." Albus smiled mischievously at the last answer, this will be interesting. " Done Albus.. When will my money be transferred? I want to get the house ready as soon as possible." Remus thought back at the time when he was this excited. He couldn't remember a time. "Already done Remus. I also picked out a house you might like I will leave the information on the table. Also the main room has already been furnished except for the children's room." Albus got off the couch and started walking toward the fireplace. "Albus, wait!" The old man turned around. "Buy the house for me I'll take it! I don't care what it looks like I can fix it up." "As you wish Remus, you will be able to move in by tomorrow morning, and I believe you should get some sleep you have a very busy shopping day a ahead of you." Albus smiled, realizing how happy this once sad man was.
"How can I sleep in a time like this?" "Look at it this way, the sooner you get to sleep the sooner you get to shop, and the sooner you shop the closer you get to Harry." "Good bye Albus, and thank you."
"Good bye Remus." With that the old man disappeared with a pop.
***********************************************************************

"Moony Pad" Remus shouted clearly into the fire. After a series of twist and turns he arrived at the beautiful Victorian built home with a lake, forest, and a plain.
Remus muttered one word, "perfect." He excitedly explored the
house.
15 rooms in total two main bedrooms, six guest bedrooms, a kitchen, a
study, a library, a
quiditch arena, an entertainment room, a wash room, and an attic. He decided after checking out everything that he would go shopping today, fix up everything tomorrow, and the next day go get Harry.
*********************************************************************
"Hello sir, welcome to MAGICAL~BABY~DUST. May I help you? "Um.yeah." Remus said staring down at his feet. This is embarrassing, if James and Sirius were her they would rag me silly. " I'm, umm adopting a baby , two years, and I've never been a father, and um I don't know what I would need, um can you help me?" Smooth Remus, real smooth. "Of course sir. Now what we need is furniture." The employee walked Remus over to the furniture area. " Now for a two year old he will most likely need a crib but since you don't know much about him get the revisable one. Ohh and before I forget how much do you have to spend?" "How much as it takes" Remus replied. Who knew baby shopping would be this much fun.
"That is excellent, sir." The employee smiled wickedly. Three hours later a very tired Remus came out of Magical~Baby~Dust with a shrunken and weightless bag felled with everything a baby would need. A crib, a changing table, a dresser, diapers, bottles, food, way to many toys, and a book titled How to be the Best Mum a Kid Could Ask For. Remus soon went to work on Harry's room. He decided to give his room a magical effect. During the day there would be a sunny beach scene, and at night a starry night scene. He fixed everything perfect. Even though he did a rushed job. He ran down the steps and threw the dust in and yelled very loudly and clearly. "Albus Dumbledore", and waited till he saw the headmasters office.

"ALBUS WHERE ARE YOU!" he herd a groaning noise.
"Remus?" asked the very tied headmaster. "What do you want it is two
in the morning?" "It is? It is funny how time flies by, but back to the point. I finished shopping and doing the room. Can I go get Harry now? "Is that why you came and got me up at two in the morning? Yeah sure is funny, I'm rolling over in laughter." Albus replied in fake laughter.
"Seriously, Albus. Can I?"
"I don't see why not, but I must warn you they will be hard to handle. I request one thing, though.
"Anything Albus."
"I wouldn't be surprised if he has wounds that need to be magically healed so bring him in the morning around ten."
" Yes, yes will do. I'm nervous Albus what if he doesn't like me. Look, I never had a younger sibling how am I going to do this."
"Remus, I thought we had this discussion. YOU ARE PERFECT FOR THE JOB." A frustrated headmaster said.
"I hope you are right. I'll see you at ten."
Albus bid Remus a good bye before Remus stopped him. "Thank you, Albus." Before Albus had a chance to say anything the fire was out.
"I hope everything will go all right" before Albus turned towards his bedroom. ************************************************************************
Remus took one look at Harry's room and smiled. He then apparated to Privet Drive.
*This is going to be fun* Remus thought before he took his wand out and said the unlocking spell.
He wandered into the living room, thinking about where the small child may be. Remus wolf instincts kicked in as he heard a child's cry coming from the cupboard.
He was afraid of what may be there but unlocked the several locks and opened the door.
"Oh my God!"

Finding a New Type of Love

"Oh my god!"

Remus stood there squatting down peering into the small cupboard. A sick sight falls before his eyes. A child that is two that could easily pass as a one year old, lying face down in a dirty cupboard. He could hardly see but he could see enough to makeout the shape this child was in. Way to thin, bruises up and down his small frame, and a terrible stench.

Remus was too hypnotized by the appearance to realize why exactly he was there in the first place.

"Harry"

No response. Thoughts race through his head. Is he okay?

He crawls into the cupboard and gently taps harry. This was enough to send the child into a panic. His beautiful green eyes wide with fear.

"Harry it's okay. Shhh. It's all right. Don't be afraid. I want hurt you"

"Whozz Youz", Harry asked tentavily. Almost afraid to ask such a question, and visibly tenses up.

"I'm Remus, Harry. I'm going to take you away. That is if you want to come", Remus prays. He didn't want to take Harry away from the Dursley's if he still wanted to stay.

"You", he asks pointing up at Remus. "me eaves IT"

Remus could barley understand harry through his whispers and bad language but he think he understand what he means.

"Yes Harry, with me Remus"

Before Harry or Remus could do anything a booming voice was heard form the top of the stairs.

" WHOS THERE?!"

Remus looks up and sees the walrus of a man leaning over the banister. The anger resurfacing he stands up, and pulls his wand out of his robe and points it up at the banister.

" I AM DURSLEY YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM. YOU DON'T ABUSE CHILDREN YOU SON OF A BITCH! THEY CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES!"

Vernon suddenly relized there was a wizard in his house "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE FREAK! I NEVER ASKED FOR THE UNGRATFUL BRAT! SOMEONE NEEDS TO KNOCK THAT FREAKISHNESS OUT OF HIM!"

"HARRY IS NOT A BRAT OR A FREAK. YOU ARE DURSLEY. ANYONE WHO DOES THAT TO CHILDREN ARE!

A women in a pink bathrobe with her hair in curlers comes to stand beside her hudband. "Whats
