Chapter 9

Harry growled at the letter sitting on the table when he recognized the writing as Dumbledore's "What the hell does he want? Can't he just leave us alone?" Harry felt so angry that he was close to shifting right there and releasing his anger.

Remus saw that his cub was close to losing control and he knew why but before he could fix the problem he had to calm his cub down before he shifted and went to rip Dumbledork to pieces. He immediately grabbed his cub from behind keeping his teeth close to his cubs neck to gain submission easier. His cub may be an alpha submissive but as his parent he would always listen to his dominant wolf parent which happened to be Remus. Using his wolf to make sure his cub knew to listen a growl entered his voice as he commanded "Calm down cub, your safe here and he cannot harm you or any of us. You not completely in control so calm down."

Harry let out a whine of pain and fear but Remus knew it was not because of his but because of what the letter posed in Harry's mind, a threat to his pack and to his future. "It's going to be ok, That's it let me and your papa take care of it." Remus kept talking his cub down with his wolf half out to help calm his cub down.

Harry turned in his dad's arms and broke down "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, It's all my fault, their gone all three of them. He burned them he killed them."

Severus understood immediately what was happening as he recognized those exact words "Shit he is having a flashback if you call it that. He said those exact words when he broke down in my arms after you two and Teddy were burned in the flames. See this letter from Dumbledore along with all the stress of the last two weeks since being sent back along with everything that happened before being sent back has finally hit him. I'm shocked he has not broken down sooner. The potion is finished so it does not take a chance of being ruined as it already bottled, the letter can wait, right now Harry will need all of us. I would not be surprised if he shifts soon to help escape the stress." Just as he mentioned that Harry could shift, he did curling into a shaking whimpering ball of black fur.

Severus sadly looked at the others before shifting and curled up by Harry's head knowing where Remus and Sirius would be he gave a lick to Harry's head trying to get Harry to understand he was safe. He saw Remus and Sirius shift and felt them curl around Harry's back and front until all three of the encircled Harry. Together they nuzzled and licked Harry until Harry's shaking started to stop and he started to come back to himself Remus used the pack bond to talk to Harry now since he knew Harry was out of the flashback.

"You're ok cub, we are here, we are safe as are you. That future has not and will not come to pass no matter what that letter contains it will not affect our plans nor what we have done. You are our son, our cub and there is nothing anyone can do to change that." Remus noticed his cub slowly coming back to them but it was Sirius who spoke next "Your dad is right cub, we're here and not going anywhere come on back to us and we can sort this out together." Severus took a completely different route that he knew would shock Harry and probably make his laugh as they both knew he would never do it "Alright that is enough you little imp, snap out of it or I will bring professor Snape git exstordinare out and I don't think you want to see him again."

Severus could practically feel Remus and Sirius ready to bite hit head of literally that was until Harry let out a barking laugh in wolf form as well as laughing in their minds through the bond.

Harry slowly uncurled enough that he could look at his family but told Severus so his parents could hear "Thanks Sev, I was almost back but I needed that final push. And you and I both know that you would never bring out Git Snape again not after the last time right after I moved in after what happened with Sirius and Remus you learned quick I would not put up with professor Snape anymore." Harry nuzzled the side of Severus's jaw before turning to his parents saying to both of them "Dad, papa, I understand that you think you should be angry with Sev but please don't be. The reason he did that is he knew I needed to laugh to get the rest of the way out. He has had to deal with me having flashbacks before he died the last time it happened was two months before he died. First I need the comfort to come back enough to understand that it's not real then I need the laugh to get the rest of the way out. He used the threat of Professor Snape because he tried to use his Professor Snape persona on me two weeks after I moved in after you two were killed and I practically went off on him so speak. Let's just say he never used it again except in threat to make me laugh, the reason it makes me laugh is because he got intimidated and scared of me that day and now whenever he used that threat I remember the look on his face when I blew up at him and what happened after." Harry paused licking both his parents jaws affectionately "But thank you for understanding and doing what you could. I you would anyway but sometimes it is nice to hear that what you do is appreciated. I love all of you so much I don't think I would survive if I lost you again."

The family just cuddled for a while until Harry was fully calm and then they shifted back. Once they were all human Remus finally asked what he was planning before the flashback "Harry, you have noticed that the three of us have a little almost raw meat at least once a day correct?"

Harry nodded "I thought it was just because of preference you always seemed to like it that way but I did papa and Sev doing it more since they were turned. Why?"

"Cub it is not a preference, what happened today was exasperated because your wolf was agitated because of the lack of raw meat. You need some at least every other day though every day is preferable it helps keep your wolf calm but also gives your body what it needs the raw meat and blood that your wolf needs but the nutrients and fats that your human form needs. So from now on even if you have to sneak into the kitchen when at Hogwarts I want you to eat at least a little almost raw meat every day so this does not happen again. If you ever have questions about what you need or what your wolf needs even though we are tightly merged with our wolves there are some things that our wolf needs or we need to do to make sure the wolf does not take over then I want you to come to me so I tell you what you need to do. Ok?" Remus finally explained what was going on and why Harry felt so on edge now they had to deal with Dumbledore's letter.

Soon enough the family had done all the spells needed to make sure that all spells, potions, and portkeys had been removed from the letter alone with a list of what had been on the letter. What they found had them all growling in anger, there had been compulsion charms, as well as two different loyalty potions, and a portkey that would be activated at Harry's touch.

Now that they letter was safe Remus opened it and read it out loud.

Dear Remus, Sirius, and Harry,

I do not know why you have close Gimmuld place to the order, what have we done to you that has made you shut out your friends. You know we need a safe place to meet so that we can defeat Voldemort.

Remus how could you have taken Harry from his aunt and uncle's with your condition do you understand how dangerous that is for young Harry. What if you accidently turned him it is bad enough that Sirius runs with you as Padfoot.

Sirius how could you put your godson in danger I know you think that Remus is harmless but he is a dark creature no matter how his temperament all the rest of the month, it is dangerous for young Harry.

Harry how could you run away from your aunt and Uncle the blood wards will protect you better than anywhere, they are not that bad surely a spank here and there is not bad it is good character building. You will be going back there at the end of the school year. As they are your Guardians I will see you soon my boy.

Now please open up Gimmuld place to the order again and let's put this business behind us.

Yours truly

The bumblebee.

"So he thinks that he can send me back to those abusive pigs but doesn't know about the adoption or you being supposedly cured dad. I think it is time to send him a letter that will shock his core. Because as I understand it the adoption removed guardianship from the Dursley's to you and he can't so a damn thing about it. Second I have enough evidence with just my memories to make sure that the Dursley's are put away for a long time and never allowed to take care of a child ever again. And finally he is not my guardian nor my magical guardian that Papa for both now so he has no say in my life. I say we send him a letter saying that we are a family and he has no say in my life anymore and that the order will stay out and away from Gimmuld place or they might find themselves thrown across the street. What do you think?" Harry was steaming but he wanted to give Dumbledore a kick while not giving him all the cards.

Remus and Sirius thought over the idea's that Harry had come up with and decided that it would keep Dumbledore guessing but at the same time tell him that they were a united family and that there was nothing he could do to separate them. So they agreed that it would be the right thing to do and together the family wrote the letter in a way that sounded respectful but was in truth telling Dumbledore to f***k off in a subtle way and in a way that Dumbledork could not do anything about it.

Harry added a little picture of a face blowing a raspberry at the person reading the letter while laughing his head off at finally telling the old coot off.

Sirius could not help but laugh at what his cub had done it was sure to tick off Dumbles.

Remus was smirking while howling with laughter inside.

Severus was smirking at how his family had brought down Dumbledore a few pegs and decided that he would want to be a fly on that wall when he read the letter but knew it was not a good idea right now but he could dream.

Soon enough the letter was on its way with a little surprise from Harry attached to the letter that sure piss of Dumbles. Now the family relaxed the rest of the day until that evening when they all decided to get out of the house for a while and all of them appriated to the forest that Remus, Sirius, and Harry had gone to last time. This time though they hunted some deer and ate the deer as a family which helped satisfy all their wolves need for raw meat and blood as well as the need to hunt.

They all played and tousled till the early hours of the morning before curling up in a imitation of a puppy pile to sleep for the rest of the night. They all knew that the next day was going to be the start of all their plans and if this potion failed then all of their plans would go up in smoke. All they could do was hope.

AN: Sorry this chapter got away from me we will be seeing Tom and what Surprise Harry left for Dumbledork hope you enjoy.
