Remus was not sure about this plan. He knew Sirius if he was not unconscious in an ICU would be against it. But there was no other way. They needed some where safe. Albus had no intention of Harry living. Harry had over heard the plot to kill him. Albus would be a dead man. If Albus suspected he was alive he'd look in Black homes. He would never look right under his own nose. He would never think they would be dumb enough. Or smart enough Remus thought. They had considered a few. Even the shack or the chamber of secrets. But Harry needed care and protection. He could not be left some where like that. And Severus made the offer.

Hogwarts had amazing wards. But Severus had special ones in his rooms. He had an old portkey. One that would work right into his rooms. From his spy days. Lucius had helped him with new wards. No one could enter his apartments without his permission. Or spy on them either. Not even the headmaster. Severus could have Voldemort himself if he had still been alive, in the rooms and Albus would not know. The old portkey though was linked to white magic. It was done so if Severus was killed a true Death Eater could not have used it to sneak into the school. It allowed Remus and Severus to sneak Harry in.

Remus looked down at his godson when they arrived. "Are you sure about this? Albus might want to come for tea. You know what you are risking here."

Severus nodded. "I can put Harry into a warded room when Albus comes to visit. You know the man would never think we would hide Harry here."

Albus was nearly convinced Harry was dead. He had been poking around to see if people had heard rumours he was alive. They were sure once he had poked around the remnants of the true death eaters and realized he could not find Harry, he would think him dead. Harry would be safer dead for now till they could find out what mental condition he was in. He would be in no shape to see anyone or confront the headmaster when he was like this. The school was oddly the safest place for him.

Severus motioned him through a door into his second bedroom. "He can stay in here. I hope with time we can bring Harry back out. But I am not sure."

Remus put Harry down on the bed. "I wish we could take the blasted collar off of him. Harry is not some animal. And it will not help."

Severus put a hand on his arm. He reminded his old friend what they spoke of. Lucius had saved Harry. If he had not taken Harry someone else would have. The Lestrange brothers would not have been so kind. Voldemort had let his other men believe after the fire that Harry was dead. Lucius had let it slip that it had been a fellow Death Eater who tried to kill puppy. And Voldemort had decided t was for the best. Even if they tried questioning those in prison with vertiserum they would be told that Harry had died in the attack on the manor. No one had seen him since. Lucius was of course given a full pardon so he would not be questioned at all.

Remus was far more understanding than Sirius. He knew that Lucius had saved Harry. But he did not want Harry near him. Harry was a human. He deserved his freedom. He may not be able to return to his old life. But he would be free. Remus silently swore that. Lucius would just have to adjust to the fact.

Severus handed him the portkey. "I have another. This will bring you or the mutt here. You will need to be here to help him heal too."

Remus looked at Harry. "I will. Lucius does not have one of those does he? I mean we can not risk that man trying to take Harry back."

Severus reminded him that Lucius was pardoned from past crimes. Any he committed now he faced prison. If he tried to take Harry it would be kidnapping. Sirius had custody of Harry of course now that he had bee pardoned. But they both knew with Harry officially dead, calling the law into it would be pretty hard. Lucius could not kidnap a dead person. But Severus prayed his friend would keep his distance. Lucius would come to understand he hoped that this was the way it had to be. Lucius seemed to actually love Harry but he had controlled Harry too much. There was just too little chance that Harry could ever have a true relationship with him.

Severus sat down and tried several charms to remove the collar but Harry began whimpering even stunned. He had expected the stunner to work longer but Harry's eyes fluttered open and he drew away from him.

Severus tried to reach him. "Remember me? I am Professor Snape Harry. I was your teacher. I am also friends with Lucius."

Remus saw Harry was continuing to whimper. "Come on cub you are safe. We brought you home. We swear you are never going back there again."

Burrying his head in fear Harry did not speak or look at either of them. He jerked violently and sobbed louder when they tried to touch him or his collar. Severus finally realized for now they were not getting any where. He had a feeling they had already hit a brick wall. Jade had been taught he only spoke to master. In two months of Jade living in his house, Severus had never heard Jade speak once. He only spoke for his master.

He felt a pang for Remus who looked so lost. "It will take time. You knew that. We have moths of conditioning to break through."
