Harry Potter and the Story of Secret's
Part 14
Remus did not like this idea, oh no he did not! At all! Who in their right mind would risk Harry like this? Well, Dumbledore of course! Remus looked at the Head Master as if he had grown two heads.
"You're kidding! You can not do this! Harry trusts you!"
"There is no other way,' Dumbledore said.
"No! no way in heaven or hell will I let Harry go back to those Muggles! Or to Lucius Malfoy either! If Sirius were here…"
"But he isn't, and this is the best plan," Dumbledore interrupted.
"I won't stand for this!" Remus said, he turned his back and the Head Master and walked to the entrance of the office. Remus didn't know what to believe, but he did know what was right.
He stopped at the door; "And here, I also though I could trust you as well," were Remus' last words to the Head Master before he left to go collect Harry.
However, there were other plans in process.

When Remus got to their quarters; Harry was no where in site, his bag of clothes and toy's were gone as was the little boy. There were signs of trouble in the room as things were moved to the floor, as if they had been thrown in order to keep whoever it was at bay.
"Harry? Where are you/ it's me, it's Uncle Moony," Remus called out, his wand in his hand. There was silence and the little boy was no where to be found. Remus sat on the edge of the bed, hope had left him now. He had figured that since Harry was with him that he could some how live through all the trouble, that he could some how get Sirius back, and that some how, they could live a very happy life.
But now…that didn't seem likely.
"The boy is long gone,"
"What?" Remus looked up to see Severus entering from a secret passage.
"Potter has gone back to those Muggles, I'm afraid," Severus said.
"This is wonderful, that was why Dumbledore kept me up there so long, in order to keep me from interfering,"
"That seems to be the case,"
"Looks like I'll need to come up with something clever; Dumbledore will be watching Harry and Muggles closely now,"
"He has all ready set up more protection charms and Order members are in the area as well,"
"Wonderful,"
"I'm order to take you to him," Severus said.
"What?"
"Lord Voldemort want's to talk to you," Severus said.
Remus looked at the man for a moment, he then stood and went to his own apartment. He took out one of his better patched robes and put them on. He then handed his wand to Severus.
"I trust you," Remus said. Then, Severus led him down the secret tunnel. Remus didn't feel good about this in the least, but at least he was doing something. If they ever got out of this, Remus promised, he would make sure that Harry would never have to be ripped away from them again. EVER!

Harry was scared; he didn't like the yelling, and he didn't like being hit. He had trusted Uncle Moony and Godfather Padfoot and they had taken care of him and never touched him in anger. They hugged him and tucked him into bed and had kissed him. They were his parents (even if his real parents were gone).
But now, they were no where in site, and he was stuck in the cupboard again. The door had been locked and the light stolen from him. Godfather Padfoot never shut the door, and there was always the castle night light on for him. Uncle Moony always made sure that his Pajama's were warm and that the cover's had a heating charm on them at night.
Harry sniffled a bit; he hugged his stuffed stag to his chest and closed his eyes; at least with his eyes closed the darkness of the cupboard was bearable. With his eyes closed he could go through his memories of Godfather Padfoot and Uncle Moony. He could pretend that he was with them and that they were all having fun!
Harry fell asleep, pretending that he was sitting in Padfoot's lap, with his Godfather hugging him tightly.

Voldemort looked happy to see Remus; it hadn't taken long for Severus and Remus to get to the Dark Lord's manor; Severus knelt, then he handed the wand over to Voldemort. He was then ordered to leave the room, as were all the other Death Eater's. Voldemort had nothing to fear of Remus, since the Werewolf had no weapon to speak of.
"So, you finally decided to adopt some sense I see,"
"I really didn't have choice," Remus replied.
"Do tell, I'm in the mood for a story or two," Voldemort said.
"Dumbledore….he took Harry from me, but I didn't know it…I don't know where he out the child," Remus said.
"I see," Voldemort gazed long at the man before him, "It was bound to happen; with Sirius a prisoner here, and you not having all the rights of any other wizard…well…better safe then sorry,"
"I know, but it took us forever to get Harry to even ask us a question without him flinching away! What if he put Harry with his Muggle Relatives again? I can't let them lay a hand on the child, he's too innocent,"
"He is also powerful, he could become a great wizard with the right amount of training, making him go through hard times would also make the boy hard hearted and trustworthy to those he believes rescued him,"
"Does this mean…that he'll forget about us? That he'll believe that we betrayed him?"
"Possibly, unless something isn't done soon,"
"And what could I possibly do? There are better charms on the house now, and Order members are watching,"
"I will answer that question, but first, you must go and visit Black; then, I have something to show you both," Voldemort said, then he snapped his fingers. A masked Death Eater bowed at Voldemort's feet.
"Show Mr. Lupin to the dungeons, he and Mr. Black have a few things to discuss,"
Remus didn't say anything as he was led away from Voldemort. The man looked ugly, but Remus could have sworn that he was saddened by the news Remus had told him.

"Padfoot?" Remus shook his friend awake. Sirius looked haggard and in pain.
"M-moony? What are you doing here? Are you hurt? Where is Harry?"
"Calm down, Padfoot, I'm fine…"
"But?"
"Harry isn't with me,"
"Where is he?"
"He…he's been taken, I'm not sure where but possibly taken backto his muggle relatives,"
"Who authorized that?"
"Dumbledore…"
"What?" Sirius bound to his feet.
"Sirius, calm down, we can still get Harry back!"
"Really? How?"
"I don't know, but we'll think of something!" Remus stood as well.
The two friends looked at each other; they just could not believe what was happening. Things were messed up and they didn't know how to fix it. Whenever they didn't know what to do they would always go to James. He had the best ideas and he knew exactly how to make them feel better.
"Do you think that we should….?"
"Take the dark mark?" Remus asked.
"Oh, I don't know, I mean…what if we can get Harry and live with relative peace?" Sirius paced about the small room; Remus sat on the cot, taking in what Sirius had just said.
"It's all a matter of trust, I don't know if I should, or can, trust Dumbledore anymore," Remus muttered.
"I have that same feeling," Sirius agreed.
"However, maybe we should wait, and see what Voldemort has to say,"
Before Sirius could say anything; the door to the cell opened and Severus stood there, "Lord Voldemort is ready for you, both of you," Severus sneered, Remus rolled his eyes. Looks as if Severus had a lapse in character earlier in the day.
Remus stood, "After you, Padfoot,"
"With pleasure, Moony,"

This time; Remus and Sirius were led to a room not very far from the dungeons. The room was big, and in the middle, sat a pensive. The room was lit by torches with magical fire. There were no other furniture in the room and Voldemort stood in front of the pensive, pouring something into it. He turned and smiled at the two men.
"Ah, Gentlemen, glad you decided to come, step this way, we have a lot of memories to go through," Voldemort beckoned them. Sirius looked at Remus, the Werewolf was uncertain.
"A Marauder never leaves a Marauder behind…"
"I'll follow you," Remus smiled a little. The two decided to face whatever the future held with Gryffindor pride and courage.

A/N – I am not happy with the ending to this part! It's kind of cheesy! Oh well, I'll fix that later. Right now, I have nothing else put! Please enjoy!
