Fred and George were a bit surprised when Tonks had come and asked if they would have Harry for dinner that night but they had been happy to. But first Harry was going to the hospital to see his godfather before visiting hours were over with. Remus had been told of course that Harry would be staying with the Malfoys, Tonks having told her boyfriend the entire truth. Harry smiled when he had found out Remus and Tonks were dating seriously, and was reminded if they married it would make his legal second cousin nearly his stepmother, or what ever title she would have. Harry loved the idea, he could see when he had been at Grimmauld last summer that there had been an attraction between the two of them and Harry wanted nothing more then for Remus to be happy.

As they headed for the hospital Harry did not know yet but Remus would be teaching DADA in the fall. The headmaster had been just trying to placate Harry and had no intention of hiring him but Lucius had seen to the hiring of the man to replace Umbridge. As the head of the governors and having Fudge in his pocket, it was easy enough and now that his role in the end of the war was known, there would be few protests from parents. Lucius had every intention of being at school all the time if not permanently, the school governors having wanted someone there. He could have taught DADA but he thought Harry could use having Remus there.

Harry was ushered into a plush private room, paid for by Lucius since Harry could not. He would have been in the dungeon like werewolf cells otherwise and Harry would not have been able to visit him. He knew how much he owed Lucius for doing this for his beloved godfather, and actually found himself happy to be heading for the manor the next day. He had a feeling if nothing else living with the Malfoys could teach him how to get sweet revenge on those who had betrayed him.

Remus saw him come in and his entire face lit up. "Oh cub, I have missed you so much."

Harry bent down and hugged him, tears fighting to come. "I have missed you too Moony. You're my only family left."

As Harry sat down Remus touched the pendants hanging around Harry's neck, one of which was his own. He had sent it for Harry before he had been taken to the hospital, to give his cub something to hold on to. It was killing him to be away from Harry right now, for they were both desperately struggling with the loss of Sirius and he wished more then anything he could be there to offer his cub some comfort. He knew though he would be lucky to be out by Harry's birthday though Lucius had told him about the fact he would get Remus the DADA job in the fall.

Remus sighed. "You have family now. I know the loss of Sirius and all the rest you have learned is hard, but you have more then just me."

Harry nodded. "Andromeda and Ted have been great, they have told me lot of stories of Siri. But I want you Moony."

Wiping some of the tears Remus assured Harry he would have him. He had not been like Sirius, he had believed when he was told that the headmaster had been lying and stealing from Harry all of this time. He had helped convince Sirius to sign the forms to protect Harry and make sure Andromeda would have him if Remus did not. He had been worried he would die in the ministry and though he was alive, the paper work had come in handy. He knew his poor cub had been told about the betrayal of his friends, well in fact had heard them admit it out loud. He knew how it felt, he had off course felt the betrayal of Peter, but his ran much deeper.

He squeezed Harry's hand. "I know you have been told you need to play nice for now, but I promise you'll have your day. You are a mini marauder after all."

Harry managed a tiny smile from that. "I hope it does not take too long. I hated having to actually pretend to trust them today. I wish I could have evicted them."

Remus shared his godson's wishes, thinking it would have served the family right. He never understood why the couple had seven children when they could obviously not pay to feed and house all of them. He knew what it was like not to have much money, but if he had been wed, he would have considered that when thinking kids. He promised Harry he would be by his side when he kicked them to the curve. Remus was not sure about the older boys but he was able to reassure Harry on one part.

He smiled. "The twins are too much like the marauders Harry, you know they will be loyal. They had a falling out, I have a feeling it may in part have been over you."

Harry had thought the twins did not talk to their family because of the shop alone but he held some hope in hearing that. "I really hope you're right."

Tonks had come to join them for a bit and Remus revealed that the two of them were talking wedding plans though there was no ring yet. Harry knew they were just trying to distract him with a happier thought and he was grateful for it. Harry reluctantly got up as hours were ending to join Andromeda at the door but Remus stopped his girlfriend for a moment from leaving the room. She knew they were both worried about the same thin, how well harry seemed to be holding it all together.

He kissed her. "Please make sure he isn't alone. I have a feeling soon, if not days maybe weeks, this is going to hit him. And I wm worried I won't be there yet."

The twins were waiting when Harry arrived and they had never been so happy to see him before. They had found out that their parents had been summoned to the bank and faced losing their house. They had learned a few months before that their parents and siblings had taken money from day one to care for Harry. The twins had always been friends with him anyways and Albus seemed to never see the need to pay them for it. It was the reason, not the shop, they had not spoken to their parents since just after Christmas. He had found out bout Albus when their dad was released from the hospital and they had over heard their parents and the headmaster speaking about how Arthur's medical bills had been paid for. They could not believe their parents who always said they were poor but honest, had been stealing from Harry all of this time or that Ron and Ginny had been lying to Harry.

They had been relieved to hear that Harry had been removed from the relatives and from his family as well. They were a bit shocked to learn that he would be with the Malfoys for Tonks had told them quite a bit when she was assured they could be trusted. They had sworn that the brother they had risked major trouble rescuing with a flying car a few years ago was worth any other trouble they might need to face for him.

When Harry came in they were expecting to see him broken down but he was holding it together well. They knew he was being forced to put on a front as their family and the headmaster could not know he knew. But he seemed to be dealing with Sirius' death well, and they were reminded how well he had hid the abuse he suffered.

Fred noticed Harry seemed reluctant and unsure, likely scared. He went to him. "I should be hurt little brother you ever thought we might be involved with that crap."

Harry looked guilty and relieved at the same time. "I didn't want to, I mean like Neville, but I wasn't sure. I mean I trusted the others and.....I'm sorry....I should......"

George rescued him cutting him off with a hug and assuring Harry after having his entire world turned upside down, they more then understood. But they assured their little brother he had more loyal friends out there the them and Neville and Luna. If nothing else, the original dream tem was on his side, Angie and Alicia dating the twins still and Harry had remained in contact with Oliver. Katie was still in school and they were sure she would prove true.

Fred pushed him down into a chair. "You know you came to the right place. I mean you may have to hide you know the truth but you can still have some fun."

George agreed. "I mean between living with Draco this summer and us, I think we can teach you some espionage, make them hurt where it counts."

Having been told Remus would be at school as well they thought it was perfect. The twins would not be at school but he would have Draco and likely some new Slytherin fans for the only worrisome ones were gone. He could definitely use them to his advantage, to get some pay back. And Remus was sure to over look his new position from time to time to let his marauder side out. Their silent backer they assured him always had access to their supplies.

Dinner was probably the most relaxed Harry had been since before the ministry and for a time he was genuinely able to laugh and forget the pain. He was plotting pranks and such to perform on his former friends but still it was a good laugh.

But before he left Fred hugged him seriously. "If you need a big brother for anything you know we're just an owl away. We promise, for anything, even a shoulder."
