Remus Lupin prided himself on having a very logical brain that could figure out almost any problem, but in the last week or so he had been confronted with so many problems that he didn't know what to do. First, his two of best friends had been murdered and betrayed by none other than their secret keeper, yet another close friend. This left him and his remaining friend to deal with their god son amidst their mourning. Though Harry would have been trouble as neither of them knew what to do with a child, they in no way wanted him gone. The decision was taken from them however when Dumbledore decided that he would be better off growing up in a non magical environment.
Remus and his remaining best friend, Sirius, had continued to argue with Dumbledore since they had discovered what he did, but he refused to tell them where he left Harry. They had nearly given up hope, and were in the process of planning their last fight when Sirius had spied Oasis, Remus' basilisk friend through the window.
Sirius had thrown a royal fit, and refused to come outside no mater what Remus told him about how nice Oasis was. When he had seen that she had a child on her head he did the first thing that came to mind and grabbed for it. Understandably, she recoiled, and Remus backed off long enough to hear that she had found the childe spoken of in the man-snake prophecy.
The prophecy dictated that a child would be born, and would have both great power, and a piece of snake within him. The child would become half snake and half man, and would bridge the gap between men and basilisks that had grown through the centuries. He would strengthen the world, and bring all magical species closer together. Under his leadership the world was to be united, and all beings would enter into a golden age.
Needless to say, who ever the child was, he was very important. Remus couldn't resist the temptation to look the boy over, and asked to see him. He seemed to be healthy, so Remus was not concerned with the health of the boy. When he got a look at the boy's face his knees went weak.
The boy had ebony black hair, and bright green eyes. Lily's eyes and James' hair. The boy was none other than their son, the Boy-Who-Lived, and savior of the discarding world. Remus wasn't sure whether to be scared out of his mind that Harry would have yet another weight put on his shoulders, to be happy because he and Sirius would be able to see Harry, or be angry that Dumbledore had placed Harry with such terrible people that they dumped him in the woods to be eaten by some creature or to starve to death.
When Harry said his name in the adorable voice that always melted Remus' heart, the older man could only smile, "Hello Harry. Have you been a good boy?" he knew that Oasis had said Harry could speak parsyltongue, but hearing it spoken was entirely different from just knowing of the ability. The noises coming out of his god son's mouth sounded so sinister it was frightening, and yet the gleeful smile on Harry's face contradicted any such thoughts. While he was staring at the rapidly hissing boy Oasis began to write:
He is telling you that he has got a new mother, and eats rats and bugs, but that they are good. Snakes can speak from birth. I expect that he simply lacked the stimuli that would have triggered the ability.
Remus noticed the message and grinned at Harry despite the fact that he was totally horrified with the prospect of eating rats and bugs, "that's great Harry!" Indeed it was great. It seemed that everything would work out for everyone. That was at least until Remus remembered Sirius again.
Sirius was the kind of person who would blow everything out of proportion, and make a fuss. He was perhaps the most stubborn person in existence, and was firmly against anything snake like. That could be a major problem Remus decided. So logically, he did the only thing he could do, and yelled, "Sirius! Get your Arse out her before I send Oasis in to get you!" Seconds later a black dog was making his way towards the trio. Remus smirked. He may have always been the level head of their group at school, but if he made a threat, he always meant it, and he always took revenge.
