"Speech"

Chapter 8

Remus was crawling into bed after an exhausting night of working at a Muggle fast food store called Burger King. Remus covered the overnight shifts during the week. He was about to fall asleep when he heard scratching at his window. Remus opened his eyes to see an ordinary brown barn owl scratching at his window. As Remus got closer the owl to let it in, he noticed that a letter addressed to him in Severus's fancy handwriting was attached to it's leg.

Remus opened the letter, reading it on his bed.

To Mr. Lupin,

I am writing to inform you that we are currently courting your Godson. He is currently in the aggressive stage and it is almost unbearable. I just want to grab him and shake his shoulders to inform him that the only reason Lucius and I act the way we do is because we care. He passed the passive stage briefly which has me a little worried as it normally lasts a week and his lasted a couple of days. I, however, pray that this stage passes quickly as well as he is making me go crazy. Any pointers on how to win your Godson's heart would be greatly appreciated as you know him better than we do at the moment.

Many thanks, kind regards and may the Fates smile upon you.

Lucius and Severus

Remus smiled. 'Harry deserves this.' So Remus sat up, grabbed a pen and wrote a brief letter back in his chicken scratch handwriting.

Remus then sent the letter back with the owl before passing out on his bed.

Severus woke to scratching at the window. Penny had returned. Severus jumped out of bed and tore the letter open.

Dear Lucius and Severus,

Thanks for letting me know. As for helping you, wouldn't that be classed as cheating? I thought you guys didn't cheat. It's not part of the 'honourable code of conduct' if I remember correctly. (Severus smiled, amused) But if you want clues as to his likes and dislikes, why not just ask him? But whatever you do, DO NOT BUY HIM CLOTHES as gifts. Don't even bring the subject up. ESPECIALLY in the aggressive stage. You won't know what hit you.

Many thanks, kind regards and may the Fates smile upon you.

Remus

Severus scowled. That letter didn't help that much. So he'd have to approach Harry about it. Fine. But a search through his stuff would be in order before he asked. Severus walked into his wardrobe to get dressed in his usual black robes.

When Severus walked into the Dining room he saw Harry and Luc sitting opposite each other waiting for him. Harry had his arms crossed and looked as if he was doing something he didn't want to and Luc looked as if he'd just won the lottery.

"What has transpired here, might I ask?" Severus asked as he sat down.

"Mister Harry here decided he didn't want to wait for you to come down to eat. I informed him otherwise." Luc answered cryptically.

"Informed? You tackled me to the ground when I went to eat." Harry stated outraged.

"Details, details. You decided to wait after I did it, correct? Besides, it's rude to eat without the Alpha present. So get over it Darling." Luc conjectured.

"Whatever. Can we eat yet?" Harry demanded.

"No. We are going to wait until you have manners to eat precious." Severus ordered.

"Stuff you. I'm hungry. I'm eating in the kitchen and you can't talk about manners either. You kept us waiting for over an hour." Harry declared before walking out of the room to find the kitchen.

"Let's go Luc." Severus stated.

"Where are we going?" Luc asked.

"To raid Harry's stuff." Sev answered plainly.

"And why are we doing that?" Luc asked confused.

"To know Harry better." Sev said plainly.

"That makes sense. You said that to him on purpose didn't you?" Luc asked.

"Of course. He'll now go straight from the kitchen to the swing outside." Sev answered.

When Sev and Luc got to Harry's room, they noticed the room was immaculate. It looked like no one lived in the room. As they went through Harry's stuff, Luc noticed Sev getting angry.

"What's the matter, Sev?" Luc asked.

"Is he offending me on purpose? There is hardly anything here. The most he has is oversized clothes that are too big on him. The Weasleys have more stuff then he does." Sev vented.

"I don't mean to offend anyone. This is all I own." Came a voice from the door. "And just to let you know MY CLOTHES ARE FINE!"

"Harry. I thought you were hungry." Severus addressed coolly.

"And I've finished eating. I want to know why you are snooping around in my room." Harry retorted just as coolly.

"We wanted to learn about you but obviously, we can't learn about you from any of the things in here as THERE IS NOTHING IN HERE TO TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT YOU AS YOU DON'T OWN ANYTHING." Severus informed. Severus took a deep breath before continuing. "We did this because we care precious. It's just that you have a lot of money. Why didn't you ever buy more then what you have?"

"Because my relatives would have thrown it all out. It's not that I mind the clothes that I have now. I just don't want people automatically judging me because I can walk around in robes that scream 'look at me. I have money'." Harry explained. "NOW GET OUT OF MY ROOM! YOU HAVE INVADED MY PERSONAL SPACE!"

Luc and Sev practically ran from the room. Harry then locked the door so neither could get in.

Luc was beating himself up on the inside. 'How could I let Sev talk me into something like that? We just broke the trust that Harry had in us.' Luc went straight to his room and sat thinking the whole day.

Severus locked himself in his study to write notes to himself on what to and what not to do while thinking to himself for the rest of the day.

A/N:- Sorry about the wait. Just been a little bit busy. I hope to get the next chapter up soon. Until then, keep reviewing and tell me what you wouldn't mind in the story….. Any ideas on who Draco's mate should be would be a great help. Thanks my ever faithful reviewers.
