Chapter Nine
A/N: This might be a bit of a time skip. Let's just say Harry told Remus and Sirius about the Dursleys and the cupboard. There isn't much to tell, but Sirius went into another room. There was a lot of swearing. And breaking things. I'm trying to make the chapters a little longer so bear with me. I want to thank everyone who has followed, favorited, and reviewed. You guys are so amazing, and the response has been wonderful.
For the rest of the time the Dursleys were away, Harry spent the time in his trunk with Remus and Sirius. Needless to say, Sirius' reaction when Harry told them about the Dursleys and the cupboard and the trunk was memorable, though he did manage to keep from breaking anything, or yelling or swearing in front of Harry. Remus' reaction was calmer but no less full of anger. They spent their time reading, cooking, and taking care of their "garden." Also, to Harry's delight, both Sirius and Remus joined him in playing with all the toys he'd copied from both of Dudley's rooms (When Sirius found out about that, Remus had had to sit on him to keep him from tracking down the Dursleys right then.)When Harry went to bed, Remus and Sirius would go out. They went to Gringotts to secure Sirius' vaults and to see what they can find out about Harry's.

Albus Dumbledore was perplexed, it was an entirely new feeling for him, and he did not like it. He's tried to contact Sirius Black about Harry, but not only had he disappeared completely, along with Remus Lupin, but even Fawkes had been unable to deliver a letter to him. What could Black and Lupin be up to? he thought, absent-mindedly popping a lemon drop in his mouth, more importantly, why hasn't Black contacted me yet about Harry's guardianship? He'd expected Black to contact him as soon as the trial was over for guardianship of young Harry. The fact that he hadn't was worrisome. At least young Harry is off with his relatives. Even if Black knows where he is, which is doubtful, he can't get to him without me knowing. Albus sighed as he ate another lemon drop, he'd try to send a letter with Fawkes again in a day or so. Hopefully by then Black would have emerged from wherever he was holed up. By then, he thought smiling, my plans should be ready.

Sirius, Remus, and Harry were in the living room. Sirius was reading the paper, Remus had a book from the library compartment, and Harry was playing quietly with toys on the floor. Suddenly there was a huge bang, but it wasn't coming from the trunk. Then they all heard the shouting.
"BOY!" came Vernon Dursleys shall as he banged on the cupboard door, "stop lazing about! Get out here and help us with our bags!"
"Yes Uncle Vernon," said Harry as he scrambled into the cupboard.
Sirius put a hand on his shoulder, "let us go pup," he said, giving Harry a wink, "give 'em a hell of a good scare."
"Sirius!" hissed Remus, smacking him on the back of the head, "no swearing in front of Harry!"
"Owww!" complained Sirius.
"That didn't hurt," said Remus scornfully.
Vernon called, "BOY! What are you waiting for? Get the hell out here NOW!"
Sirius smirked, "gladly!" he called out as he stepped out of the cupboard.
Vernon thundered back into the house, "who the hell are you?!" he shouted, "where's the little freak? What's he been telling you? Get out of my house!"
"I," said Sirius calmly, "am Harry's godfather. And I'll thank you not to call him a freak."
"G-godfather?" Vernon sputtered, "the boy, he doesn't have a godfather! Why else would we have been stuck with the ungrateful little freak?"
Remus' eyes flashed amber, and Sirius pulled out his wand, brandishing it almost lazily in Vernon's direction.
Vernon turned a ghostly white, as Petunia gasped and paled. Dudley continued to watch the television, paying no attention to anything else.
"W-what do you want?" asked Petunia, "you could have taken the boy while we were gone. Then we wouldn't have to deal with his freakishness!"
By this time, Vernon had got his courage back, "Get OUT!" he roared, stepping toward the two men, "Out of my house! OUT I say! You AND the freakish brat! OU-!" the last word was cut off as both Sirius' and Remus' wands flashed simultaneously.

A/N: There you go folks, another chapter! Sorry about the cliffy but I just couldn't resist! ;) I do have some ideas of my own, but I'd love to hear what you think. Tell me what you want to happen to the Dursleys. Please read and review. That's all for now. Bye!
PS I changed that paragraph. Thanks to iPod Reader for pointing it out.
