Chapter 5 *Anger*
Harry quickly left the Dursleys and called Hedwig. He grabbed a piece of paper and wrote to the Order. The letter was short but urgent enough to make Remus think something was wrong.
[I]Remus, I need you over at the Dursleys, it is urgent. I can't explain anything yet but I really need you.
Harry[/I]
Harry tied the letter to Hedwigs leg. Hedwig hooted softly and flew out the kitchen window. Harry watched her until her form was no longer visible. He went back to the living room where the Death Eaters were tied.
"The Dark Lord will find you, Potter!" Harry smirked at the Death Eater.
"Voldemort's been trying to do me in all my life. He hasn't succeeded yet, what makes you so sure he'll succeed this time?" Harry asked.
"Don't get comfortable Potter! Our Lord will bring you down, just you wait!" The leader said, Harry noticed the anger and fear in his voice. His smirk got wider.
" Voldemort won't win!" Harry said angrily. He raised his hand, pointing it at the Death Eaters.
"There is a reason people should fear me. I won't be lied to. I won't be munipulated to do anybody's work. I won't be made to be something that I'm not!"
Harry's anger was reaching a bursting point. He was angry, angry like he'd never been angry before. He stared at the Death Eaters with hatred. They cowered under his gaze, all the defience they held against him was replaced with fear.
Harry was glowing a brilliant red, though he didn't notice. The Death Eaters did though, and even though they were tied by magic they still found the will to scoot as far as they could from the raging boy.
"Harry!" Harry heard a faint voice through the haze of his anger. He began taking deep breaths to calm himself.
[I]Inhale.[/I]
[I]Exhale.[/I] (somebody plz help me make italics!)
His breathing soon returned to normal and he turned to see Remus Lupin standing in the doorway. Shock was written all over his face and his wand was half raised and pointing at Harry. Harry shhok his head to clear the haze that was clouding his vision.
"Remus." He said softly before slumping to the ground.
"Harry what happened?" Remus asked, rushing over and picking the boy up.
"The Death Eaters came and started torturing the Dursleys. I heard them from upstairs and came down to see if I can do something." Harry rasped out.
"Why didn't you send Hedwig sooner? We could've come to help." Remus said. "That's why we're here Harry, to protect you."
"I don't need protection, Remus. I need someone to care for. I need you now, you're the only one I have left now."
"I'll always be here Harry, I'll never leave you. Now come on, you're not safe here. Come on, Dumbledore and the others are outside. They're trying to see how the Death Eaters found the Dursleys." He said glancing back at the Death Eaters. He grabbed Harry by the arms and lifted him up.
"Come on Harry." Harry stood up with his help and turned to look at the Death Eaters.
"Keep in mind what I told you, you just might turn up dead." He said in a soft and deadly voice that made shivers run up Remus' and the Death Eater's spines. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Harry glanced around. The Order was walking around the house casting a spell every now and then. Harry watched for a while before Remus took him by the shoulders guiding him to where Dumbledore stood surveying the house.
"Albus, everything inside is fine. The Dursleys are shocked and are being treated." Remus said. Albus Dumbledore nodded, his light blue eyes fixed intently at the house, he did not even move from the house. Harry, by Remus, glared at him but said nothing. Inside, Harry was seething.
[I] What's he playing at? Does he want me to shred him apart like I did his office or something?[/I] Harry thought, a sudden smirk formed on his lips that would have made Draco Malfoy proud.
"Harry I want to talk to Remus, please go see how your relatives are doing." Dumbledore said suddenly, his eyes still glued to the house. Harry stared at him, with a sharp nod he turned to leave.
~****~ ~****~ ~****~ ~****~ ~****~
"Albus we really should tell him. He's angry at you. My warewolf senses tell me that if you don't do something soon, we will lose him." Remus said.
"I cannot tell him. He's too innocent, he's not ready to know." Dumbledore answered.
"You keep saying that! How long do you think he'll stay as innocent? He has nothing to live for anymore, nothing! Sirius is gone, and that was the only thing that held Harry from going over the edge. I saw his rage, his pain. He blames you for everything that happened."
"I cannot tell him." Dumbledore repeated.
Remus sensed the dangerous tone in his former mentor's voice.
"If you don't tell him that there might be a way to bring Sirius back then you've doomed us to hell." Remus said softly.
"I cannot tell him. I might be wrong and if I tell him and we try the experiment and it does not work. I cannot risk the chance of him getting even angrier with me for failing him once more."
"He won't blame you, you need to give him a chance. You can't push him away or you will be making the biggest mistake of your life. He lost his trust in you because of the lies and secrets. Earn back his trust before its too late, Headmaster." Remus said and left before Dumbledore could say anything more.
Dumbledore stared after him, deep in thought.
[I] Is it true Harry, did you lose trust in me? Did you lose something that you strived to gain? Did I lose your trust? If I did, then I am sorry. I promised to keep yopu safe and it seems that I am failing, terribly.[/I] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Uncle Vernon is there something I can do?" Remus heard Harry's voice and stopped to listen to the outburst that he knew the fat man would make. To his surprise a soft voice answered shocking Remus to his toes.
"No we're fine. Those men did a number on us. I don't feel any pain anymore. Harry, where is Dudley?" Remus crept to the door and pushed it open just far enough to peer inside.
"I don't know, he's probably at Peer's (sp?) house. That's the only place I can think of him to be."
"Harry can you go get him? I want him home." Harry's aunt said softly. Remus saw Harry glance worryingly at her.
"Alright Aunt Petunia. I'll get him." Harry said.
"Thank you Harry." Harry nodded and walked toward Remus who quickly got away from the door.
Harry stepped and saw him standing there. He smiled.
"Hey. I know you heard what we talked about and by the look on your face you're as shocked as I used to be in the beginning." Harry said almost laughing out loud as Remus tried to hide his surprise by scowling at him. Harry smirked again.
"Well are you coming with me?"
Remus smiled. "It's not as if I have any choice."
Harry frowned. "You always have a choice, but right now I need you to come with me."
"Alright Harry. Lead the way." * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * ** * * ** * * * * * ** * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * ** * * *
The two walked down the street in silence and Harry got tired of it.
"Remus do you know how they found us?"
Remus said nothing, but stared ahead not looking down at Harry.
"I really don't know, it could be that they intercepted one of your letters you sent. Yes, that could be it."
"But how did they know to come right today? Today was supposed to be the day that Moody was to come and pick me up."
Remus whirled around to look at Harry. "I don't remember that arrangement. Harry we were going to leave you here with the Dursleys the whole summer. No body said that they were going to come and pick you up."
Harry stopped and stared at him with dawning. "But Moody was here two weeks ago and told me that he was going to ask Dumbledore if I can come and stay."
"He did ask and Dumbledore said no. Moody must've written to you and told you what happened. The letter got intercepted and the Death Eaters switched the meaning to tell you that they were going to come and pick you up. That's how they found you."
"But, oh I should've noticed that something was wrong. I should have trusted my insticts!" Harry said, mentally kicking himself at his own mistake.
"Don't worry Harry, everything is okay now and maybe I can convince Dumbledore to let you come with us."
"I don't think I really do want to go back to Grimmauld Place, Remus." Harry said quietly.
"I understand." Remus said just as quiet.
"I miss him you know." Harry said. "I tried to cry, but I couldn't. I just couldn't cry."
"Harry its okay to cry." Remus said, his arm went around the boy's shoulders.
"I know, but I just couldn't cry. I wanted to but I couldn't. I taught myself a long time ago that crying was a sign of weakness. Hermione was the one that taught me that it was okay to cry. That it was a way to express my feelings. But every time I try to cry the tears won't come. I want to find some way to bring him back. I know that there is a way, and I know he's not dead, but its not going the way I want. I can't find anything that says about the Veil. Nothing. I'm so frustrated!" Harry said.
"Harry there is a way to bring Sirius back, but I promised Dumbledore that he can tell you himself. He doesn't want to, he says that you're not ready. That you're too innocent. I want you to know, I really do, but Dumbledore wants to see if he can bring him back. If it works then he'll tell you." Remus said.
Harry stared at him, mouth open wide.
"So there is a way. Dumbledore just doesn't want to tell me?" Harry asked, anger was rising in him again. "How could he keep it away from me, my only one chance to bring my godfather back and he keeps it a secret!"
"Harry! Calm down, he's doing his best. You must trust him, he can bring him back."
"What if he can't? What if something goes wrong? I can't trust Dumbledore! There were too many promises broken, too many lies told! I won't trust him, because he doesn't deserve my trust!" Harry said angrily.
"Just wait Harry, Dumbledore will come to his senses. Sooner or later he will." Remus said quietly, his own anger rising. Harry was right. Dumbledore had no right to keep away the only chance that Harry had to save Sirius, the only chance.
