A quiet knock sounded from the other side of Harry's door, bringing him for his thoughts. The door swung open to display a familiar odd looking face. With large ears and huge eyes, Dobby stood at Harry's door. He was wearing odd socks, a blue jumper, and a black bow tie. A large grin was firmly planted on his face. "Harry Potter sir, Mr. Sirius said dinner's ready," Dobby said in his jittery but gleeful high pitched voice.

"Dobby!" Harry said with a huge smile, his brooding over his nightmare halted. "You work for Sirius and Remus."

"Oh yes. When Dobby found out that Mr. Sirius and Mr. Remus needed a house elf, Dobby was first to apply for the job. Dobby was much pleased when Mr. Sirius gave him the job," said the happy house elf.

"That's great Dobby!" Harry exclaimed as he followed Dobby down into the dining room. Harry was surprised at the fit-for-a-king meal that sat on the large table. There was a chicken, potatoes, carrots, turnip, corn, bread, biscuits, tea, pumpkin juice, and for dessert, a large pumpkin pie. His mouth practically watered at the sight. At the head of the table sat Sirius, and on the opposite end sat Remus. A chair for Harry was placed in between the two adults.

"Ah, Harry, have a seat and dig in," Remus said with a grin as he began to stack food onto his plate. Harry sat down and followed suit, while Sirius was already eating. There was no room for conversation, as everyone was too busy eating.

At the end of the meal, Sirius leaned back and grinned at Harry. "Tomorrow I was thinking we could head over to Diagon Alley and get yourself a house pet, other than your owl. Nothing like a good cat to keep you company when Hedwig's gone on a delivery."

"Really?!" Harry said excitedly. "That'd be great, thank you."

"Very good then, we'll all head out tomorrow morning after breakfast," Sirius said, chuckling at Harry's enthusiasm. "You best get up to bed Harry."

A sudden gloom like feeling settled over Harry as he imagined sleeping tonight. Renwick wouldn't visit me again tonight, would he? A deep fear settled in his stomach as he thought about the Cruciatus curse that had been used upon him. The aftereffects were still with him, shaking his core. Thankfully, it was unnoticeable to anyone else. Remus and Sirius both noticed the sudden change in Harry, so Remus leaned forward and held out a small bottle to Harry. "This," he said "is a dreamless potion that should allow you to sleep in comfort for tonight."

Reaching out, Harry took the bottle with a grateful look. "Thanks Remus. I'll see you two in the morning."

"Night Harry," Sirius said, looking troubled and distracted.

"Goodnight Harry," Remus said with a small smile before turning to face his boyfriend. Sighing softly, Harry trudged up to his room and got ready for bed. He tucked the potion away in his drawer, not intending to use it tonight. Instead, he placed a silencing charm on his bedroom, and climbed into bed.

I don't want to see Renwick again, but I need to be around for the threats he makes. Sirius and Remus cannot get hurt because we weren't prepared for an attack on the house. At least I'll know it's just a dream when I see him. Looking down, Harry took off the gauze from around his arm and read the words etched there until he drifted off to sleep. I will kill everyone you care about.
