The next day Harry was downstairs having some breakfast. He then heard the door knocking. So he went and saw the Wesley's and Hermione.
"Hey guys."
"Hi Harry." said Ron.
So everyone came and sat down.
"What are you doing?" Hermione asked.
"Finishing breakfast. Stuck going to Dumbledore last night because of seeing something while I was asleep. Then to Madame Pomfrey because my hand."
"I told you to see Dumbledore Flames." Hermione said.
"Shut up Speedy." he said.
"Is it me, or does it feel weird having our own names now?" Ron said.
"No, same here Howler." Harry said.
Remus had heard what they were saying, shook his head and smiled.
"What?" Sirius asked.
He then looked at his friends.
"They're starting to call each other their nicknames."
The other two smiled.
"I like it. What about you Wormtail?" Sirius asked.
"Me too Padfoot, Moony. I like being called my nickname by you guys and calling yours again to. It crepes me out when Voldemort called me that." he said.
It was Christmas Eve and everyone was going to be there later.
"So, how's it feel having a home away from your aunt and uncle?" George asked.
"So good it's not even funny."
"I bet. I couldn't survive it for a day if I had to go through that!" Fred said.
"It's not easy being treated like a house elf when you're only two, four tops."
'I really hope Sirius didn't just hear that.' he thought.
"They what?!" they all yelled.
"Shh! No one knows and I don't want them to know."
"A little late for that Prongslet."
They turned around and saw the three of them.
"Umm,"
"What did they do to you? We promise not to do anything but tell Dumbledore." Sirius said.
He took a deep breath and told them what they had done in fourteen years. The three of them were shocked.
"Does anyone know?" Remus asked.
Harry shook his head.
"Harry, you have to tell us about things like that." Sirius said.
"I know. But being ignored for ten years isn't easy. I didn't get any friends until first year when I met Ron on the train."
"You really should tell Dumbledore or McGonagall." Peter said.
He just stared at them.
"Tell us what?"
They turned around and saw Dumbledore.
"Harry has been beaten, starved, slept in a cupboard until first year, treated like a house elf starting at two four tops. Cooking, cleaning, working in the garden." Sirius said.
Dumbledore was speechless.
"I'm so sorry Harry, but it was the best I could do."
He rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, because my aunt's blood."
"I told you it was a bad idea!" McGonagall snapped.
"That's why he never eats, he's never fed." Tonks said.
"And I guess he wears his cousins clothes to."
Tonks' hair turned red.
"It still scares me a little when you do that." Peter said.
"You're rusty at it to." she said.
"True."
"Well at least you're done with them. And we're going to get you some new clothes and feeding you till you get the right weight." Sirius said.
"You'd kill them and maybe me if you see me and find out what I weigh." he muttered forgetting Remus has good hearing.
"Why would we be mad?"
Everyone looked at him suspicious.
"Umm,"
"Let's see it Harry." Peter said.
He slowly took his shirt off. When everyone saw it Mrs. Weasly almost fell. Arthur caught her quickly. Everyone else looked like they were petrified. They saw scars, bones and plenty more.
"Harry James Potter you should have told us about this when we were writing to each other during the summer! Or told at least McGonagall, if not Dumbledore!" Sirius yelled.
He then realized that he just did the same thing his uncle would do to him except not hurting him. Everyone saw the look on his face and he was terrified and ran to his room. Everyone then looked at him.
"Nice job Padfoot." Remus said.
"You just made him think about his now past." Peter said.
He sighed and went upstairs to his room.
He knocked on the door but no answer.
"Alohulora."
Then the door opened he saw him sitting there.
"Harry?" He looked up and flinched a little. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you like that. I promise I'll never do it again."
"Promise?"
"Marauders promise. I swear to not turn my back on Harry or I will identify myself as an anamagus." he said with his wand up.
Harry smiled back and then they headed downstairs.
Everyone then looked up and smiled.
"Good old Marauders promise?" Remus said.
They nodded.
"Good."
"Perfect timing to, diner's ready." Mrs. Weasly said.
So everyone sat down and ate. Molly added more food to Harry than usual.
The next day it was Christmas and everyone was opening their presents. As usual Mrs. Weasly made sweaters for the kids. Harry got Ron a new chessboard, Hermione a book, Ginny a necklace.
he had given Fred and George the money he got from winning the triwizard cup last year and they said that was the best birthday and Christmas present ever. So he was all set with them.
Sirius a book with pictures of his years of school with help from Remus and Peter. He made Remus fresh batches of wolfsbane.
He was starting to get good at potions since he heard about Sirius' court and had learned how to make them.
He wanted to make it during the summer and vacations to make it a little easier. And for Moony as a thank you for the help to calm down.
When everyone left Harry went upstairs and got ready for bed. He then went downstairs and said good night to the three of them.
