Severus had not really been surprised when he had been summoned home. He had known Lucius had been released. He had known that it was a matter of time. Remus had come to see Harry. When he returned he watched Remus for a time. His old friend was so desperate. He was trying to help get Harry back so much. But Lucius' words rung through his mind. He looked at the walls and realized one thing Lucius was definitely right about. Harry was trapped in nearly a cave. Severus had always appreciated the dungeons. It was not only because it was safer for a lab. It was better for ingredients as well. But he could leave his rooms. He could go outside. Harry could not. As long as he was here he was a prisoner. He knew he could take Harry back to Spinner's End. But it would be too easy for Lucius to take him then.

He watched. Lucius had told him too. Had told him to come back and see if he thought Harry could honestly be happy here. Lucius had used the word torture. He had not thought of it that way. But were they torturing Harry? Were they being unfair to bring him back here? Harry was crying any time he was awake. They had little options. Hogwarts was the safest place they could come up with. But he was starting to think they were fooling themselves.

Remus knew he was there. He had heard come back in. But he did not turn around. He sat looking instead at his godson. His heart ached for Harry. Harry was awake. But he lay there eying him in confusion. He saw Harry responded to him in a bit. He did not shake as he did with Severus. He wondered if part of Harry remembered.

Remus spoke to Severus."Lucius tried to convince you to allow him to have Harry?"

Severus was surprised though he should have known the wolf would have heard him. "He tried telling me that we are torturing Harry keeping him here/"

Watching his godson Remus sighed. He hated to admit it but Lucius might have had a point. He had never seen Harry like this before. He was not Harry. He was Jade. Remus had brought out his album. He had been telling Harry stories and trying to remind his godson of who he was. But Harry seemed to be showing no reaction. The only time he spoke was when Dibby was there. It was breaking Remus' heart. He wanted to help Lily and James' son. His precious cub. But he had so many doubts.

He shook his head. "He asked Dibby when lunch came where master was again. He asked about his walk."

Severus came to his side. "I know you hate this but I think we might have to consider sending him back. I don't think we're doing anything but hurting Harry now."

Remus knew he made sense. He hated to admit it. He hated to give his godson up without a fight. Harry deserved the best. But maybe Lucius was the best. But he hated the fact that Harry was treated little better then an animal. He hated that Harry was on a collar and had no freedom. He wanted better for Harry. But he was not sure there was better. This was so screwed up. As long as Harry was safer dead then alive there was really more doubt then anything.

Severus led him from the room. "Lucius had to keep him so contained and controlled to protect him from Voldemort. Lucius genuinely loves Harry deeply."

Remus sighed. "But Harry does not or I doubt he does. I don't know. I don't want him being sent back there and feeling like we have given up on him again."

Severus knew Remus was feeling guilt. They knew what Harry had endured when he had been a child. Even the night he had been taken by Lucius. He had been abused and molested. Remus had tried to get custody of him. But because he was a wolf he had failed. Remus had lived with the guilt of believing it was his fault. He had failed Harry and his parents. He should have been able to protect their son from all of this. And he knew it would blind Remus now a bit. He would think he needed to keep Harry. But Lucius was not the same as Harry's relatives. No matter what some might think.

Remus slumped against a door frame. "Sirius would never agree to send him back. Even if Lucius was willing to promise to treat him more human like."

Severus stopped him. "Is this about Sirius or Harry? I thought we were here trying to make things better for your godson. Am I wrong?"

Shaking his head Remus agreed. He was just worried about the choice. He was worried about both his fiancé and godson. Remus knew he was being selfish. He was worried about losing his fiancé. He and Sirius had waited so long to be together. And they had wanted to give Harry a home. But that was not even possible right now. Where ever they took him he would have to be hidden. Or they would have to take him abroad. But they would always have to hide him away.

Severus read his mind. "Lucius can have Harry schooled at the manor. He can have more freedom there then any where else. And in a way I think Harry loves him."

Remus walked back towards the door. "I will consider it. But I refuse to give up hope on my godson already. We have to at least try to get through to him."

Following him back in Severus agreed for a time. But they knew if they would send him back it would be easier before Sirius was released. But he would be in the hospital for another few weeks. They knew he would put up a fight over it. And he would risk Harry If they were going to do this they needed to do it before he was released but he understood Remus needing some time before he could feel right doing it.

Remus reached down and kissed Harry on the head. "Hey sweet heart it is almost dinner time. Is there something you'd like for dinner?"

Severus was surprised when Harry responded, perhaps a flash of the boy. "Moony. Where is Master? Does he not want me any more?"

Both men were shocked to hear him speak. There was a mix of both Harry and Jade in what he said. Perhaps they were wrong. Perhaps Jade was not another side of Harry. Perhaps Harry had turned into Jade. Was there anything left of the boy they once knew? There was such sweet innocence in the statement.

Remus shared a look with Severus and turned to Harry. "Yes sweet heart Lucius still wants you. But he wants you to get better. Will you eat for Moony?"
