Chapter 2
What an Owl
Harry sat there not knowing what to do. The owl started to move closer to him, Harry's first thought was
to jump up and run as fast as he could to the house but when he tried he couldn't move.
Harry sat there terrified not knowing what to do. A dog from another yard barked, startling Harry and the bird,
Harry saw this as his chance. He finally regained control in his legs. Feeling this he followed the idea he had before.
He jumped and ran to the house but the bird noticed. It flew up in the air, just as Harry went to run to the door, it opened.
Mrs.Figg and Remus were standing there, Harry dove for their feet. He slid under there legs into the kitchen.
The bird flew in after Harry but after circling the room it landed on Remus's shoulder.
Remus and Mrs.Figg looked quite shocked. Remus was the first person to snap out of the trance, He looked at Harry
and then to the beautiful midnight black owl on his shoulder, he couldn't help smiilling.
"Harry, this is my owl, Terra" Remus spoke to Harry in a soft and calm voice, to try and reassure the frightened child,
but the recent full moon was starting to take affect.
Harry wasn't sure how to react, his instincts were telling him to be frightened, but his mind was telling him to be curious.
'This is confusing' Harry thought to himself 'Why would Remus have an owl?' soon his curiosity overwhelmed him.
"Why do you have an owl?" Harry asked while getting up nervously.
Remus was puzzled for a moment, but then everything came together, the way Harry was afraid of owls, the way he
didn't see to know anything about the wizarding world or Owl Post, 'They must have never told him anything!'
'Those damn muggles' Remus thought bitterly, 'He probably doesn't know a thing about James and Lily' Remus was
brought out of hs thoughts for a small tug on his shirt.
"Are you ok?" A small voice asked behind him.
Remus turned around to see Harry standing there, watching him curiously,'God he looked so much like James' He had
noticed it earlier, but hadn't really given the time to think about it. Remus shook his head.
"I'm fine"
Harry thought of saying something more but then thought better of it, 'What if he got mad at him for asking so many
questions?' Remus seemed so friendly, so nice, so....familiar. Harry didn't want to lose him as a friend, Remus was one
of the only people who had ever been nice to him, he didn't want to lose that.
As if sensing something, Remus asked "Harry are you alright?"
Harry jumped at that question 'No one had ever asked him if he was alright, no one ever really cared' that made Harry even
more confused 'Was is some joke that his Aunt and Uncle were playing on him?' 'It had to be' Harry started to panic, and
before he knew what he was doing, he ran out of the room and up the stairs.
Remus felt awful, 'What did I say to make Harry so afraid of me?' Remus thought, as he watched the retreating child.
Remus thought Harry looked alot like the people who had see him as a Werewolf' But that couldn't be right, from what he
understood, Harry didn't even know Werewolves were real. Remus mentally hit himself, 'don't be an idiot,you probably just
asked to many questions, just don't ask so many questions next time.' But then a horrible thought came to him 'What if
Harry doesn't give me another chance, What if he's lost James's son for good.' He shook those thoughts away,
"You have to think positive" He told himself firmly
"Otherwise Harry will never trust you"
"Taking to yourself again Remus?" A voice said from the doorway.
"You should really stop doing that, it makes you sound crazy"
Remus turned around to where the familiar voice was coming from. Remus sighed in relief when he saw it was only
Arabella Figg, although he hadn't really know he had said that out loud.
Arabella fought the urge to burst out laughing at hearing such a well composed man talk to himself, but managed to
contain her laughter with a small smile.
"Did I say that out loud?" Remus asked her, seeing an amused smile on her lips.
"If you didn't, then I would have to be a mind reader and I don't think I am, so to answer your question, yes Remus you
did say that out loud" She said as her smile grew larger.
At that moment she couldn't resist it any longer, she burst out laughing, forgeting about the surprised man beside
her. Remus grinned.
"Your never going to let me forget that are you?" He asked her the grin never leaving his face.
Arabella chocked out threw laughs,
"No"
Arabella then started laughing even harder for some odd reason, unknown to Remus.
"Well" He said loudly over Arabella's laughs,
"I think I'll go read the letter I got from Professor Dumbledore"
And with that he walked away to the livingroom, while smiling to himself. He walked threw the hall and past the stairs,
glancing up them to see if Harry was anywhere in sight, Remus felt slightly disappointed when he saw no one was
there. As he stepped into the livingroom and sat down, he pulled out the letter. It was from Dumbledore for sure, the
Hogwarts crest was on the back. Remus carefully ripped the top of the envolop open, to see what the letter said.
He took the letter out of the envolop and unfolded it,
Remus,
It has come to my attention that the Lestranges have escaped from Azkaban,
and have went back to Voldemort. Don't lose sight of Harry, for you know what
could happen if you do, Make sure Harry is safe at all times, and never alone.
On a lighter note, as you know we will be needing a new
Defence Against The Dark Arts (DADA) Professor and I would like you to be
him. Send your owl back with your reply.
Remember at all costs keep Harry safe
Albus Dumbledore
Remus re-read the letter over again 3 more times before the meaning actually sunk in. Remus jumped up from the
chair he had been sitting in, overwhelmed with panic. He ran up the stairs first where he thought he had been the whole
time, but he wasn't there. Remus searched the whole house before asking Arabella. He walked into the kitchen where
she was reading the Daily Prophet. As Remus walked into the kitchen, she lowered the paper to look at him.
"Whats wrong?" She asked looking worried
"Wheres Harry?" Remus asked urgently
"He.....He went to the park." She replied
"WHAT?" Remus said louder then he intended.
"Why?" She asked fearfully
Remus handed the letter over to Arabella absent-mindedly, She read it and gasped.
"They escaped,......How?" She asked weakly, while sinking into a chair.
"Dumbledore didn't say" he replied quietly
"But that means Harrys in danger"
Remus nodded absent-mindedly looking out the window, He didn't know what to think. At least Sirius was still locked
away in Azkaban. But then a horrible thought popped into his head. What if the Lestranges had already gotten Harry and
brought him to Voldemort, What if Harry was already dead. As if thinking the same thing Arabella said,
"Oh God......Harry!!!"
