~With Remus and Sirius~

They had just walked into the door and Sirius had transformed back into his human form. When Sirius turned around to see if Remus wanted a drink, he had seen him head up stairs and just sighed 'why won't he let me help?' with that thought plaguing him he went to the kitchen and got the fire whiskey out 'this is going to be a long night' and plopped his ass in the nearest sit at the table.

~Remus~

I know Sirius wanted me to stay down with him and have a few laughs and drinks, but I can't bring myself to do that. I suddenly felt a sharp stab to my heart just thinking of Sirius down stairs all by himself brought tears to my eyes 'he has always been afraid of being alone and here I am ignoring him, like he's not even there. What kind of friend am I?' I've been plagued with guilt for the past few months and it only keeps getting worse. The more time I stay away from my mate the more I feel guilty for ignoring Sirius.

"Why, why can't I just forget about him?" I keep asking myself that question every day and every day I still can't figure out why, why it had to be him that's my mate! It's not fair.

'Mate need mate' Moony said in my head

'Yeah well to bad he's married, not to mention he hates us and wishes our head on a platter'

'How do you know? Have you ever talked to him… without being rude to him?' Moony replied while cutting me off from the next thing I was going to say next.

"What's the point I bet he does want our head on a platter" I resumed talking to myself as if it's an everyday thing.

~Harry~

I had just wrote Neville and now I'm going to write Sirius and Remus. I took a seat at my desk, get a piece of parchment and quill.

Dear Pads and Moony,

I hope you guys are doing alright even though we just seen each other. Anyway down to business, meet me in the leaky cauldron at 5:00 p.m. tonight, but where disguises I don't think I need to tell you that Pads, I'll be wearing a dark green cloak so find the cloak. Talk soon.

Yours,

Harry P.

And with that Harry folded up the letter and put it on the desk for Hedwig to take when she got back from Neville. Harry looked down at himself and seen that he is going to need a makeover so when they meet at the leaky cauldron they could stop by a few shops to get some new clothes for him.

"BOY" the whale that was known as his uncle yelled from down stairs Harry sighed and went to his door, opening it he went down stairs and into the living room where Vernon was, he just stood in the doorway.

"Come here" was the only thing Vernon said and the way he said it sent a shiver down Harry's back and not in the good way either.

"Yes uncle Vernon" Harry tried to keep his voice steady but it ended up wavering a bit and Vernon must have noticed because an evil grin appeared on his face. As Harry was making his way to Vernon something in the back of his mind told him to run, that there was something wrong... Oh how right he was.

"You have been extremely bad and need to be punished" Vernon still had that grin on his face. Harry finally figured out what was going on, but before he could turn around and run back to his room he was grabbed from behind, when he looked back he seen Dudley and his friends smiling down at him no actually more liking grinning at him with the look hate and amusement in their eyes. Harry was scared. He knew what was going to be coming next and he just hoped that it wouldn't hurt to much.

"Boys hold him still for me" Vernon commanded while going up to Harry, getting right up in his face.

"You're all mine now until you have to go back, but maybe this time you might not be going back" and with that Vernon turned back around laughing as he sat down on the couch.

"Do what you want Dudley just don't bust him up to much" and with that Dudley and his friends took Harry out into the back yard where they would have lots of 'fun'.

"ok boys ready to have fun?" they all nodded.

'Alright go get the bats" when the boys heard that command they left to get the bats, it only took them not even two minutes before they were back and one of the boys handed Dudley a big black wooden bat that had the word 'freak' on it.

"This is what you get for being a freak, I hope you enjoy as much as we will" and with that last comment they all started to bring the bats down on Harry. Harry just laid there and tried to cover up his face, but when Dudley ordered two boy to hold his arms down they put the bats down and started to punch and kick anywhere they could reach. Harry had no way to defend himself and he actually thought he was going to die, but that wasn't the end of it oh no, one of Dudley's friends brought a knife and was slowly carving the word freak into his right fore arm and sliding it repeatedly across his sides and stomach. Just when he thinks he's going to pass out from blood lost Vernon comes out.

"ok boys that's enough you'll kill him if you don't stop right now" and went back inside. The guys were pretty bummed about that but then agreed they didn't want him to die just yet. So they took him back inside and put him back in his room on the floor not even bothering to clean him up. By then Hedwig was back and when she seen Harry she gave an angry screech which made the boys run out of the room in fear of the bird attacking them.

"Hedwig" she turned her head when she faintly heard the sound of her masters voice it wasn't the sound of a strong independent boy, but to a boy that sounded broken and that wasn't her master, they must have did something to make him talk like that and she couldn't wait to get her revenge. Hedwig flew over to Harry and landed right beside him and gave his head a gentle nudge.

"Go take the letter to Sirius and Remus" she was very hesitant, but when she seen her master wasn't going to take no for an answer she gave a little screech and was off out the window. When Harry was sure she was gone he got up very slowly so as to not aggravate his wounds more then what they already were. He went to the door, after checking to see if anybody was in the hallway he went to the bathroom and locked the door, when he turned around it nearly took his breath away and he started to get worried, There was blood everywhere on him and he was black and blue, but that was just his arms. he started to take his shirt off and when he did it took every bit of his strength not to throw up, there bruises that looked like some of the guys feet on his body not to mention the stab wounds that littered his sides and torso.

"They did a number on me" he sighed and got a wash cloth rising it in water then putting it to his wounds and being as careful as he could and started to clear the dry blood from his body.

~Draco~

I was sitting the living room with my father, Severus and the dark lord when I felt immense pain coursing through my whole body and I started to scream. When I did that my father was immediately at my side.

"Dragon what's going on!? What's wrong!?" Lucius asked fear evident in his voice

"Harry, something's wrong with Harry" I just knew it, something had to happen to Harry for me to feel something this strong. Veela had this sort of sixth sense when their mate was feeling an emotion they could feel it, Harry he was in pain. ' mate hurt, someone hurt mate, kill' Draco's veela was going crazy when it sensed Harry was in danger.

"Dad we got to save Harry, he's in trouble we... got to...aaaaahhhhh" another scream ripped it way threw Draco's throat and this time he felt like his stomach was on fire. My dad lifted my shirt up, he, the dark lord and Severus gasped, they had the look of horror on their faces and I was staring to get worried. What had they seen to make them gasp? I looked down and I started feeling dread run threw my veins; Harry. Harry was hurt, I have to get to him, save him from whose ever hurting him. And when I find out who it was, they're going to wish they never fucked with a veelas mate. With determination in my heart I pulled my shirt down and got up from my chair, I started walking to the door when I felt a hand a my shoulder I look back and seen Severus with a concerned look in his charcoal eyes.

"Draco?" he asked in a voice that I had only heard him use a few times and they were all directed at me.

"I have to protect my mate" and with that I turn back around and open the door 'hang on Harry I'm coming, just hang on a little longer'

~Harry~

I had finally gotten the last of the blood off and was currently in my room changing my clothes when I hear the door open to my room I froze, what did they want now? I didn't even turn around when I heard the lock to my door click.

"Now that we're alone I plan to punish you thoroughly" it felt like my heart stopped beating. He wasn't talking about... that... was he? But what if he was then what am I going to do? I cant use my magic or I'll get kicked out of school. I could hear him shuffling towards me and before I could act on reflex, he had grabbed me by my neck collar and slammed me into my bed face down then he came up behind me.

"You look like a fine specimen right now" I felt the bile rise up in my throat. I was going to get rapped and no one was going to try to stop it. I felt him run his hands down my sides and I tried not to flinch from when he would touch one of my wounds, slowly one at a time he started to take my close off, but when he tried to put his fingers in my mouth I bit down on them and he yanked them back, I quickly turned around and tried to cover myself up when I felt a sharp sting in my back, he had taken his belt off and started to hit me with it. Just when I thought I was going to pass out from the pain I hear the door blast off its hinges and when I looked over I swore I saw Malfoy with wings coming from his back and fangs bared at Vernon, but that couldn't be right, right? Than everything turns black.

~Draco~

When I had gotten to Harry's house by apperating I heard something that was leather hitting flesh and made me sick to my stomach. I went to the door and without knocking, kicked it off its hinges and ran up stairs where I sensed Harry's scent was the strongest and when I came to another door that was shut I kicked it down like the first one, the scene that I walked in on only made my blood run cold for a second before I saw red. Harry my Harry was sitting naked on the bed trying to cover himself up and get away from the belt that a whale of a muggle was hitting him with a when I heard crashing sounds from down stairs I knew the others had followed me.

"mate" was the only thing to leave my lips before going to the fat man and ripping the belt from his hands, I threw it down and turned back to him with an evil grin on my face. I walked towards him in a calm way, but I was anything but calm. I started ripping his arms and legs off one by one before slicing his throat. When I was sure he was dead I turned to Harry and found him passed out, so I hurry and rap him up in a blanket and pull him into my arms, while nuzzling his hair. I felt guilt run threw me for not getting here in time to prevent this from happening. Still nuzzling his hair I turned around once more and looked up to see the three angry faces of my lord, father and godfather. I looked down at Harry again and swore than that I would never let anything hurt ever again so long as I live.
