It's Just a Nightmare 9
"Come out with Alex unharmed or the Master will have your head on a silver platter," laughed Malfoy. Snape's breath caught in his throat and he literally gagged. However being the cunning man he was, he got his act together. With trembling fingers he pulled out an amulet. It was a gold triangle with rounded edges. Expensive jewels decorated were arranged around a sphere in the middle of the triangle. The sphere contained a green, bubbling liquid. The whole amulet seemed to vibrate with power as Snape clutched it. Dumbledore had given him this amulet, for emergencies. It would take the wearer and anything he or she was in contacted with to a certain place immediately. It was quite unaffected by apparation wards but there was no way of covering up your tracks, unlike apparating. Snape's heart was pounding as he grabbed hold of his potions bag. Hesitantly he slowly lowered the amulet over his head and the last thing he heard was a loud bang.
Harry felt as if he was falling into nothingness. He could feel his stomach falling into his mouth and his legs felt as if they had been wrenched off but he made no sound at all. They must be apparating, he thought, but wasn't apparating supposed to be quick? Suddenly the feeling seized and he could feel his legs being slammed back onto his body again. He could hear voices, but not clear enough to make out what the people were saying. He world seemed all muffled and he was beginning to feel claustrophobic. Harry's stomach was burning, as if he was being digested by himself. His head started to spin and the suffocating smell of belladonna was giving him the worst headache ever. Suddenly a large, worn hand reached into the blackness and pulled him out by the legs and he found himself face to face with Sirius Black.
"Harry, what have they done to you?" asked Sirius in hysterics.
"Goo.ugg.uff.ooooh.ahh..'irius!" was Harry's articulate reply.
"What the hell has that monster done to my godson!" screamed Sirius with tears rolling down his eyes.
"Now, now, Sirius, Harry's just fine. He's just been turned into a baby," comforted Remus, with a twinkle in his eyes. He was personally quite glad about Harry being a baby. Sirius would just love playing with him and come to think of it so would he. Suddenly Harry looked up at him and stretched out a tiny hand.
"Poof Looin," he gurgled with delight. Harry had just noticed that there were other people in the room. There were quite a lot of people actually, Remus, Sirius, Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Moody. There was also an old lady that reminded Harry of someone he knew but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Hello, Harry and how are you today?" asked the old lady. She had brownish hair that was turning white in some places. There were shallow lines on her face and her dark brown eyes, twinkled merrily. "Do you remember me? I'm Mrs Figg." Harry gagged and Sirius instantaneously plucked Harry from Mrs. Figg. He cradled Harry very protectively and glared at no one in particular.
"Who's the father, Black," snarled Snape in an amused voice.
"You know perfectly well who Harry's dad is!" snapped Sirius.
"My, my, you are snappish today," stated Snape with a grin. Now he really knew how to get at Black.
"I suggest everyone gets some rest and tomorrow we will start putting up some more advanced wards." stated Dumbledore, "Sirius, how about you take Harry to your chambers?"
"Of course," muttered Sirius as he cradled Harry nearer to him. Harry was quite content with that and he had drifted off into a deep slumber. Sirius and remus walked out of Dumbledore's office and up to Remus's quarters. Remus would be Profssor Lupin again at the start of term because he was comng back to be the Defence against the Dark Arts. Dumbledore had told the ministry that Remus was totally safe and besides Dumbledore didn't give one to what the ministry said in reply.
Remus's quarters were by the Gryffindor common rooms. They were large rooms with blue and green leather armchairs. The upholstery was by no means expensive but it served its purposes well. The carpet was a soft cream colour and there was a coffee table in the lounge. By the armchairs was a huge bookshelf that took up an entire wall. The books were mainly Defence against the Dark Arts book but there were a few books on quidditch. On one of the panelled walls was a large wizards photo of Lily, James and Harry. Remus stared at it and muttered,
"Why, didn't they tell us? But I bet Lily loved him all the same."
"Yeah you're right, no matter what I think Lily didn't do it of her own free will. She would never cheat on James. Oh Jamsie, where are you when we most need you!" cried Sirius. Harry's eyes snapped open.
"Now look what you've done. Harry, you're safe here with us now," cooed Remus.
"Well, at least I have my little Prongs," laughed Sirius as he attacked Harry with an onslaught of tickles.
"Right, it's time for dinner," announced Remus with his teacher's voice. Harry giggled even harder. "Now what do you think you're laughing at? You'll be in real trouble if you do that again!"
"Don't worry about Moony. He's just practising for next year. He's the defence teacher," laughed Siris. Harry giggled even more.
"Tomorrow, I'm going to see Severus for an antidote for Harry, but come on and eat before the food gets cold," stated Remus.
"Yes, Professor Moony," replied Sirius in a well oiled tone. They all moved into the next room, which happened to be a dinning room. The round oak table was groaning under the weight of dishes piled high with all sorts of deilcious food. There was elvenberry pie, pumpkin mash, roast rockingen, potatoe grouner and much, much more. However what was really interesting was the 24 inch pepperoni pizza that dominated the middle of the table. Of course the Dursleys had never given Harry any pizza before and he was very anxious to get his hands on some.
"Now what would Prongslet like?" asked Lupin indictaing to the food on the table.
"Peeeesa," said Harry instantly.
"Er. Moony? I'm not sure our little Prongslet can eat that," commented Sirius.
"Why?" asked Lupin mildy.
"Well, for one thing I don't think he had any teeth" answered Sirus.
"Nooooooooo!" screamed Harry, "Peeeeeeeesa."
"Oh well, it's banana puree for you," stated Remus and conjured a bottle of banana puree for mid air. "I'll feed him and you eat,"
"No Moony, Prongslet likes me better, don't you little guy?" cooed Sirius. He seemed so happy now and Remus wanted him to stay that way. He only offered to feed Harry so that Padfoot could eat something but backing away seemed a better optin now. It was amazing how much someone could love a child who wasn't their own, thought Remus, but then James had been a brother to Sirius for so long.
"Yeah, okay but I'm offended," joked Lupin.
"Nooooooooooon!" screamed Harry and desprately tired to wriggle out of Padfoot's arms.
"Oh, I'm only joking Harry," said Lupin, laughing. Harry settleed down and started to eat his banana puree, which in his opinion tasted every nice indeed. Sirius was making broomstick noises as he fed Harry and Harry laughed so much he nearly choked. Sirius had a panick attacked when that happened but remus sorted it out. I really don't think Padfoot could look after baby Harry for one day, thought Remus, I'd better see Severus about the antidote, fast. What if he doesn't have one? Good god, we might have to bring up Harry! We're about as useful as half a rotten cabbage when it comes to bring up children, I mean, we've never looked after a baby before and Lily never let us be alone with for more than a minute. Had she know back then that Harry was Voldermort's child? She defintely knew that child wasn't James'. Was she afraid that I might have been able to see through the charm that she had put on the baby? After all I am a werewolf.
"Harry's tried, I'll put him to bed," said Sirus, cutting off Remus's train of thought.
"Alright, and you should be going to bed too. It's late," relpied Remus.
"Yeah, okay," yawned Sirus as he took the sleepy toddler into his bedroom. It was entirely decorated in Gryffindor colours. It bed was crimson with gold linings. The floor was carpeted with a rich, red carpet. There was a desk with several chairs and an amrchair with the badge of Gryffindor printed on it. The window was large, hidden behind two thick, velvet curtians. Sirus walked in and conjured up a large cot form the air. It was also decorated with a quidditch theme. The golden snitches moved around and so did the players on the covers. It was like watching a film. Of course Harry was too tired to notice. At this point Sirus remembered something very important that Lily never forgot, changing Harry. The sheer prospect of changing a baby was beyond Sirius's imagination. Well, he had to try so he conjured up a nappy and carefully stripped Harry to his nappy. Sirus wrinkled up him nose and started to undo the white thing. To his upmost surprise it was clean.
"Potty traned," grinned Harry.
"My, Harry you're starting to speak clearer now," stated Sirus, "and do you want to go to the toilet?"
"Non, 'oo sheepy" answered Harry.
"Well, I'll just put you in pajams then," laughed Sirius and he carefully dressed Harry in the pajams that came with the cot, and guess what colour the were?
"Reeeeeeeeeeeeed!" yelled Harry,
"Yeah, I know. Now you just go to sleep. I love you Porngslet," said Sirius.
"'ove 'oo too, pafoo," yawned Harry and he fell asleep with a smile on his face. Sirius heaved a sigh, magiced out the candles and scanned the room but what he didn't see was the pair of glowing red eyes that had folllowed his every move.
