A/N: Thanks for all the reviews. I really didn't think would like the story this much.

Harry slowly woke up from a deep, dreamless, sleep. He was surprised to see that he was not in his dark room under the stairs, but instead he was in a cave. Harry slowly began to remember what had happened before he had passed out, the pain in his ankle telling him that it had not been a nightmare. When he began to realize that he was now alone in the world his tears began to fall from his eyes. Soon sobs shook his shoulders and filled the room.

When Remus heard the sobs he turned from the cauldron that he had been making a nourishment potion in. His cub was lying on his side facing the opposite wall and crying as if his heart was broken. He moved closer to the boy and reached out to hold him before thinking better of it.

Remus soothingly patted his cubs back until the boy turned to face him. There were no more tears falling and the only thing that gave evidence to the fact that the boy had been crying were the two red cheeks, and the drying tear tracks. He looked straight at Remus with green eyes that had flecks of amber spread throughout them. The amber did not distort the fact that the green was just as bright as…

"Lily's." Remus whispered the word out loud without even noticing it.

He was distracted by the memories of a serious girl, with laughing eyes that had been the exact same color as the eyes now studying him closely. The look in the eyes nearly broke his heart. It was a look filled with so much fear and mistrust. It was a look that a child's eyes should never have been filled with.

"What?"

The small voice brought Remus out of his thoughts and his gaze focused on Harry's face.

"How do you feel, Harry?"

The boy's expression became worried at this question.

"How do you know my name?"

"I knew your parents."

When his cub's face brightened slightly, Remus was glad that he had used his friends as an explanation instead of the scar.

"Did you really?" Harry sounded excited at the prospect.

"Yes, I did."

"What were they like?"

"Don't you already know? Didn't your relatives tell you?"

Remus was naturally curios as to why the boy would ask about his parents when he had been living with relatives, who would have surely told the child something about his parents.

"All they told me was that my parents died in a car accident."

Remus was shocked to hear that the only thing that his cub had ever been told about his parents was a lie. He was about to set the record straight when Harry switched onto another subject.

Thinking about his parents had reminded Harry that he had, once again, been left alone. He was not a stupid child and he knew that his relatives would not come back to get him.

They probably won't even think about me. He thought sadly. No one will even notice I'm gone. No one cares about what happens to me.

"They left me alone."

He said it so softly that if Remus had not had a wolf's hearing he would have never heard that one sad sentence. Remus watched as his cub began to cry, he sat down, and gathered the shaking body into his arms. Remus knew what it was like to be left by the ones you cared about. He shared his cub's pain while offering what comfort he could.

Harry burrowed deeper into the arms that offered him the first amount of comfort that he could remember ever receiving. His tears soaked the man's shirt but he didn't seem to mind, instead of getting mad the man rubbed Harry's back in comfort.

Fenrir walked into the cave, hair still damp from the bath he had taken in the lake. He had not expected Harry to awaken while he was gone since the boy had not made any movement since being brought to the cave the day before.

Instead of finding his mate asleep on the pallet like he had expected Fenrir found him crying. What bothered him the most was that Harry was crying in Lupin's arms. He growled low in his chest.

"Put. The. Boy. Down."
