I own nothing. Never have, never will.

Remus' POV

After everyone had finished eating, I decided it was" bath time." I said , trying to sound cheerful yet serious and that just isn't me that was James. I saw a look of fear on both of the children's faces. This could be a long road to recovery.

"Do we have to have a bath, sir" Harry muttered to me, he looked so small and scared I wanted nothing more that to hold them and fill them with love.

"Afraid so, and please call me sir" Harry blushed at that he looked so cute "Why don't you want a bath?" I asked but still I was scared and worried about the answer.

"Aunt Petunia made the water really hot or really cold and it hurt, and she held our heads under the water" That's it some one send Petunia into the woods on a full moon.

"Well don't worry, we won't hold you under and we will make the water nice, come on" They both looked a bit wary but I could see Sirius had a mischievous look in his eyes. I held out my hand and Tigerlily came and grabbed my hand and looked up at me and was smiling.

I led the way and then opened the bathroom door. The bathroom is huge with a massive bath, big enough for 2 grown men, I should know we tried. I flicked my wand and the bath started running but neither of the children had seen they were too busy looking around the room. I went over to the cupboard and got out some big fluffy towels and bend down so as I was looking directly into Tigerlily's eyes. "Tigerlily do you want me to help you or can you do your self" She looked so worried she might say the wrong thing. "Come here" I said very gently and she came to me " Let me help you" I started to undo the buttons on the shirt she was wearing.

As I undid the buttons I couldn't hold back the gasp, her little body was covered in welts, bruises and scars. Not one inch of skin was left unmarked. I am going to ask Severus for some salve and lotions for the children. She looked at me like she wanted to hide. I opened my arms not expecting her to actually come to me. I held her close, but gently so I wouldn't hurt her further.

I looked over to see something similar happening with Sirius and Harry. I can see both children have a favorite adult. I gently picked up little Tigerlily and carried her over to the bath. I gently placed her by the bath. "Go on, put your hand in and tell me if it's alright, we can always change it is it's not" She didn't seem to trust me, I put my hand in the water and she copied. She smiled so I assume she found it fine, I looked to see Harry was having a similar reaction. So I gently picked up Tigerlily again, then placed her in the water. I heard the door open and saw Sirius leave the room, probably to calm himself down, or murder the Dursley's. Then he came back in with lots of bath toys and then left again and came back in as Padfoot and jumped in the bath with the children. He is never going to grow up is he? Well he wouldn't be Sirius if he did.

Sirius' POV

I can't believe my own eyes his little body looks so painful, I quickly engulfed him in a hug and tied to make him feel all the love we had for him. I then took his hand and led him to the bath, I let him try the water, and helped him in, his sister and him were splashing a little. But the bath was so big yet empty, not for long. I might not have been best in transfiguration but I could still do it, so I then had a handful of bath toys. But when I put them in the bath it still seemed to empty and still, well not long. I left the room , but I had seen a small look of worry in Remus' eyes. I could only smirk. I turned into Padfoot just behind the door, I don't want to terrify them.

They looked happy yet a little worried, but then again I am a huge dog,I jumped in the bath with them. Once they had got other the shock they started to play with me and try and wash and hug me.

Well at least they are having fun.

Harry's POV

The water was wonderful and I felt full, for like the first time ever. Then Uncle Padfoot left the room, and then came back with loads of toys, enough to make even Dudley jealous. I didn't want to touch them, Uncle Padfoot might still be angry with me, because I didn't want to get undressed. Then he would realise what a worthless little freak I am, and then he would send me back. But he didn't seem too angry, he seemed upset. Then he hugged me and I was very confused. But I didn't want to disturb him in case he got angry. Then he left the room again but didn't come back instead a huge shaggy black dog came in. At first I thought it might be like Aunt Marge's dog, who always hated me and Tilly. But this god didn't attack it came over and got in the bath and licked us and tried to play with us. Although I was a little worried I started to play with the dog and it seemed happy about that. Where had Uncle Padfoot gone, if he had gone to get his dog why hadn't he come back? I then heard something I have never heard before, Tilly giggled. I have never heard her sound so happy. She was trying to push the dog away, as it was licking her face. The dog was also splashing around a lot and making an awful mess, we would probably have to clean it later and that would just take ages. But it's nothing we're not used to.

I wonder what our new jobs will be, we haven't had to cook ,Uncle Remus did that, maybe he doesn't trust us with the oven yet. Maybe we will only have to clean, but even that would take ages. We hadn't seen most of the house but it was already bigger than Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon's house.
