Chapter 5
Severus awoke early having not been able to sleep. His dreams kept replying what he had seen in Harry's mind. He dressed quickly, and went off to find the mutt and the werewolf. He had not made it but a mere few feet when he came across Remus. "Ah Severus, let us hurry Sirius is already in Dumbledore's office waiting."
Severus hid his shock that Sirius Black was up before him, and instead just gave his usual sneer. When they reached the statue to Dumbledore's office Severus gave the password and they rode the stairs to the top. Knocking before entering they were caught off guard when the door was snatched open. "What took you so long. I have been waiting an hour!" Sirius yelled at them.
"I am just as eager to get my son, but I am not as lucky to have years of prison wake up calls." Severus growled back.
"Enough both of you, come over Arabella is waiting."
Within a few seconds all had arrived at Arabella's kitchen. "Severus, Remus so happy to see you," and then she saw Sirius and gasped.
"Calm down he is harmless" Severus smirked.
"Severus, I think it wise if you all changed into muggle clothes, as not to attract attention."
Remus, already in muggle clothes smiled sweetly at the other two. With a flick of his wand Severus was now wearing black dress pants, and a black tee shirt, and his hair was tied back. "What about him," Arabella pointed to Sirius.
Rolling his eyes he gave Sirius blue jeans and a tee shirt. "Now can we get on with this. I would like to see my son!" he said getting impatient.
"Yes, come along," Arabella said leading them to the door. "It is that house over there with the brown car" she said pointing.
All three left to cross the street and strode up to the door. Remus knocked on the door, and they waited.
"No one is coming!" Sirius said through gritted teeth.
"You are wrong again, as I saw someone peak out of the window. It seems they wish no visitors." Remus raised his hand to knock again, but Severus stopped him. "Enough of this" and with a Alohomora" the door clicked open
All three men silently crept into the house, yet were startled when a very pudgy boy started screaming.
"Dudley what is it!" Vernon said coming into the room. Dudley pointed to the three men, and started to say something. "Didn't we discuss letting in salesmen?" Vernon turned to them all. "Whatever you are selling we don't want, or need it. Now if you will leave, my family can get back to breakfast."
Severus tired of this charade looked into the man's eyes. "Where is my son? We have come to get him, and then be on our way."
"What, and who are you talking about!" Vernon yelled bringing Petunia into the room. At the sight of Snape she gave a small gasp of recognition. She then grabbed Dudley and pulled him over to her.
Snape seeing the ploy was over flicked his wand over himself and the other two. "You freaks! I should have known. Get out, get out of my house!" Vernon screamed.
"Well, now that you know, where is Harry" Remus said.
"That good for nothing whelp has been disposed of, once and for all. Now get out all of you!"
Remus got a strange look in his eyes as he saw Severus launch himself at Vernon. His senses were picking up blood, and he saw where it was coming from. From underneath a little door beneath the stairs a slow trickle of blood was seeping. While Severus and Sirius were fighting to see who could choke Vernon, he went over and peered at the door.
Sensing fear and pain inside he slid the lock open. As the sunlight filtered into the dark, tiny room his eyes could barely make out the unconscious form. "Harry," he whispered, and when he got no response he slowly lifted the boy out. The sight that greeted his eyes made him fill with rage inside. The boy lay in nothing but tattered clothes. What skin was visible held huge welt marks, and ugly purple bruises. Remus looked at Harry's face and his eyes started to burn with tears.
What should have been a face of innocence, was a collection of cuts and bruises. A rag hung from his mouth, tainted no doubt with his own blood. Remus Lupin, the usually gentle man, laid Harry down upon the floor and turned red eyes on Vernon Dursley. A load roar was heard as Remus snatched Vernon by his neck and twirled him around. "How dare you harm him! You shall pay for this with your own blood!"
Severus and Sirius were stunned as the normally calm Lupin was now atop Vernon punching him over and over. They snapped out of it quickly and ran to Harry. "Son...Harry can you hear me?" Snape called to the listless child. He got nothing except for the chattering of Harry's teeth. "Sirius look in there and see if there is a blanket."
Sirius wiped his eyes and peered into the dark cupboard. He didn't see so much as a scrap to wrap up the child, but on his way out he saw the bowl of dog food. It only took a moment for it to click in his mind, and he was out of the cupboard and in Vernon's face. "So you think my godson is a dog do you. Well, let me show you a dog!" and with a yell Sirius transformed before their eyes.
