Harry was in pain, more pain then he had ever felt in his life. The torture never ceased and it seemed the death eaters never got tired of hearing him scream. He didn't want to die! He silently prayed that someone, anyone would find him and deliver him from this Hell.
Remus sat in the chair watching the fire. Harry had been missing for 5 days and the anxiety that he wasn't coming back weighed heavily on the wizarding world's minds. Sirius was asleep on the couch in Grimmauld place. He had been convicted innocent just yesterday by the minister himself and rewarded 1,000 galleons for false imprisonment. Remus had been staying with Sirius since the Order meeting and trying his best to comfort him but Remus couldn't even comfort himself.
A knock on the door pulled Remus from his thoughts and Sirius from his uncomfortable sleep.
"I'll get it" Remus said in a hushed voice
"Hello Remus" Dumbledore said as Remus noticed the blonde boy standing beside him"May we come in"
Remus nodded slowly before stepping aside and allowing the 2 to enter
"I have a favor to ask of you both" Dumbledore said to Sirius and Remus
"What is he doing here" Sirius snapped glaring at the boy beside Dumbledore
"Believe me Black I have no pleasure in being here" The boy replied glaring back at Sirius
"Draco needs a place to stay because he is no longer safe with his parents and he can not stay at Hogwarts" Dumbledore said
"what happened to his father" Sirius growled
"my father doesn't want me because I don't follow the comands of his master" Draco snapped
"of coarse he can stay here" Remus said interupting the fight between the 2 "Can't he Sirius" Remus said in an agressive tone
"Yes" Sirius said forcing a smile on his face
"well that's settled" Dumbledore said "I really must hurry back to the school" He said
"oh Remus I have another favor to ask of you" Dumbledore saide turning around "If you would we would really be pleased to have you teach Defence Against The Dark Arts this year"
Remus eyes widened "Sir are you sure the parents would.." but Dumbledore interupted him
"The parents would be fine with it so please Remus"Dumbledore said
"O..ok" Remus said shaking slightly "but Snape usually made my potion"
"ah we have an excellent potions master now" Dumbledore said "I believe you remember Professor Slughorn"
Remus nodded "well I should really go now" Dumbledore said as he turned and left
Remus shut the door behind him and turned to see Sirius and Draco still glaring at each other
"Sirius grow up" Remus snapped as Draco smirked at Sirius
"Yea stop being so immature" Draco said still smirking
"I'm going to bed"Sirius snapped before turning and heading towards his bedroom leaving Remus and Draco alone
"Good ridance" Draco whispered under his breath as Lupin smiled at what his werewolf senses had just allowed him to hear
Draco turned to Remus "You hungry" Remus asked "No" Draco snapped "Where is your father" Remus asked
"I imagine he's torturing Potter" Draca said quietly "and your mother" Remus asked
"Dead. father caught her with Snape" Draco said "It wasn't pretty"
"oh" Remus replied
They set there in silence for the longest time before Remus finally showed draco where he would be sleeping.
"well goodnight then" Remus said as Draco layed back on his bed
"wait" Draco said "Thanks" he whispered
Remus smiled "You're welcome" he said as he shut the door
They now had a new addition in Grimmauld Place.
