Finding a New Type of Love

"Oh my god!"

Remus stood there squatting down peering into the small cupboard. A sick sight falls fell before his eyes. A child that was two that could easily pass as a one year old, was lying face down in a dirty cupboard. He could hardly see but he could see enough to make out 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 raced through Remus' head. Was Harry okay?

He crawled into the cupboard and gently taped Harry. This was enough to send the child into a panic. His beautiful green eyes wide with fear.

"Harry its okay. Shhh. Its all right. Don't be afraid. I wont hurt you"

"Whozz Youz", Harry asked attentively. He almost seemed 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 Dursleys if he still wanted to stay.

"You?" He asks pointing up at Remus. "Me eaves IT"

Remus could barely understand Harry through his whispers and bad language but he thought he could understand what Harry meant.

"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 stood up, and pulled his wand out of his robes and pointed it up at the banister.

" I AM DURSLEY YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM. YOU DONT ABUSE CHILDREN YOU SON OF A BITCH! THEY CANT TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES!"

Vernon suddenly realized 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 IS!

A woman in a pink bathrobe with her hair in curlers comes to stand beside her husband.

"Vernon what is al the noisy about. Is it that little freak? Well wallop him good to shut him up. My dudders..," Petunia trailed off as her eyes fell on Remus.

" Hello Petunia remember.," Remus asked in a sickly calm voice.

"Vernon, its on of the Lily's freak friends.," Petunia said shaking, backing away slowly from Vernon.

"That's right Petunia, and I'm going to show you and you fat ass husband just as freaky I am.,"

Snarling slightly, Remus raised his wand and pointed it as Vernon.

"Expelliarmus"

Vernon was sent flying into the back of the wall, and was knocked unconscious.

Smiling Remus pointed his wand at Petunia. Petunia shrieked and tried to get away, but Remus was to quick.

"Rictusempra"

Petunia busted into a fit of mad giggles. Rolling around and clutching her side.

Remus smiled approvingly at his work, and looked down at Harry. The problem was Harry wasn't there. He put a silencing charm on Petunia to try and find him. Remus listened carefully and heard soft sniffling coming from the cupboard.

"Harry come here.," Remus heard moving and rustling form the cupboard, and slowly the little boy appeared with fear in his eyes.

"Harry I didn't mean to scare you, I'm sorry.," Still with no response, Remus tried again, "Harry do you want to come with me or stay here with your aunt and uncle"

Harry looked at the wand and then back at him. It finally dawned on Remus.

"Harry, this is a wand and you can do magic with it. You can do magic to, but not yet you have to wait awhile for that though.,"

Harry seemed satisfied with this answer and held his arms out to be picked up. With a smile on his face Remus gladly picked him up, not even minding the smell.

Remus approaches the door and with a flick of his wand Petunia ceased her laughing and backed away slowly. Still smiling Remus walked away proudly out of the house and avaporated to there new home.

**************************************************************************** **

Remus landed smoothly inside his new home with Harry clinging to his neck with dear life.

"It's okay Harry we are home. Now we better go ahead and get you cleaned up a little and then put you to bed since it is really early. "

"Cwean?" Harry asked innocently.

" Yes Harry we need to get you cleaned up before I put you to bed, because honestly you stink."

While tickling Harry Remus went up the stairs and into Harry's room. Little Harry was awed by the appearance of his room.

"Well Harry how do you like your room?"

"Mwine?" Harry asked. "Ugly?"

Remus smiled sadly, the way this child had to spend the first years of his life with those idiots.

"Yes Harry yours. No Dudley, no Vernon, and no Petunia, just you and me pup."

Pup? Where did that come from? Well I like it, I think that will stay. Remus looked down at Harry and smiled at the look of happiness that played his face.

Remus carried Harry over to the changing table and laid him down. He took his wand out and used a spell that would block the odor. He took Harry's dirty nappy off and cleaned him off, and was about sick at the diaper rash, welts, and bruises that harry has. Remus bent down under the table and pulled out and new nappy and baby powder. Remus finished the changing and put Harry down on the floor, while Remus was searching for some pajamas.

"Well Pup I'm proud of myself. I successfully changed a nappy."

Little Harry glanced up at Remus and smiled. Harry didn't know what to do. He was being taken care of for the first time he could remember. He had this big room with lots and lots of toys that he thought was his. To be honest little Harry was very thirsty, and he decided that he would try.

"Wawa." Little Harry asked timidly, and started to back up when Remus turned around with a set of pajamas hanging over his arm.

Remus bent down and smiled, "Sure pup, but lets get you into these and then we will go downstairs."

He picked harry up and sat him down on the changing table and preceded to discard Harry's old clothes that were way to big for his little form. What waited for Remus underneath those baggy clothes. There were bruises and welts all over his back and stomach, that looked so much worse than his legs. Harry was so thin you could see his ribcage. **Those damn Dursley's. I should have did more than what I did.** Remus continued with changing Harry trying to be gentle as possible, but sometimes he cried out.

"All done pup. I'm sorry if I hurt you but by tomorrow you will be so much better."

"No owies?" Harry asked excitedly.

"That's right Harry no more owies. Well how bout that water."

Remus said picking Harry up and throwing him up into the air that made Harry giggle and smile.

"But pup, wouldn't you want milk instead"

Harry considered this, he had never been allowed to have anything but water, only Dudley got milk.

"Ilk!" Harry said clapping his hand.

"OK Harry milk it is"

Remus and Harry walked downstairs, Remus fixed Harry his milk in a sippy cup, and carried Harry back up to his room. All the way Harry happily sucked on the wonderful taste that filled his mouth.

He laid down Harry in his crib.

"Good night pup. I'll see you in the morning."

Remus walked to the door and glanced at Harry who was sucking on his cup and sitting up watching Remus. Remus smiled and turned out the light and went to close the door. When he heard Harry cry out. **************************************************************************** **

Harry was confused to say the very least. He had been taken from his aunt and uncle, taken to this place, been changed and looked over, and loved to say the very least in the span of a day, and now his Remy's is leaving him. This did not go over and with Harry well so he did the one thing he was never aloud to do with his mean aunt and uncle.

"REMY'S!"

Harry wailed loudly. **************************************************************************** **

Remus was at Harry's side right away and picked up the crying child.

"Shhh, Harry what's wrong." Remus asked very puzzled by the fact that the child was okay just a minute again and he was wailing now.

" Youz eave me."

"I'm sorry Harry, but you need to sleep."

Remus continued to hold Harry till he calmed down, and tried to lay Harry back down with no success.

" Well, Harry you need to sleep. So what are we going to do?"

Remus thought for a second and then an idea came to mind.

"Harry how about you sleep in my bed with me."

Harry sniffled and nodded his head, so Harry and Remus walked out of the room and down to his room with Harry laying his head on Remus's shoulder. Remus put a charm on the bed to prevent Harry from rolling off, and then laid Harry down and covered him up. Then Remus walked over to turn the light off he heard Harry whimper slightly, so Remus walked over to the bathroom and turned that light on and cracked the door. He then he hoped into the bed right beside Harry.

"Night Harry."

"Ight Remys."

Remus chuckled slightly. He had only had Harry for a few hours and he had already fallen for him. He smiled at he fun that awaited him for the rest of his life.
