Author's nnote: thanks for the Reds, reviews, alerts, and favorites. It is much appreciated. This chapter hasn't been betaed in four months and it's not going too, so I'll just put it up! Sorry for the wait but I've been busy with school, waiting for a beta which never happened, and been sick for the last week and a half. I also started a forum to discuss all that is Harry potter and my story as well, If you have the time please feel free to check it out. I have a bunch of events planned for this story, but if you'd like to see some sort of moment with Harry and Remus please put that suggestion in your review and I'll see how I might fit it in if possible. Remember, I am trying to keep things as canon based as possible so, if your idea is way out there it might not be possible to fit it in. Please as usual feel free to leave a review whether you like my story or not. Whether you have something good to say about this fanfiction or something bad. I actually hope you can leave me one so I can know what is working out and what is not! It's almost critical to a writer to get feedback so we know how to improve and what to keep doing!

"Harry, what are you doing down there? I want you to come bak up and sit down," Remus said a little sharply at lunch time as Harry was down on the ground for a few seconds too long. Remus looked down where Harry was on the floor. He was getting up with a piece of food in his hand and brought it to his mouth. Remus got off his chair and pushed Harry's chair aside quickly. He knelt down on the ground next to Harry who was about to put the small piece of chicken which fell on the ground in to his mouth. Remus put a hand on Harry's arm stopping him. Who looked at remus upset.

"Harry, here, let me see that piece of Chicken, the ground is filthy and I don't want you eating off it," Remus said reaching his other hand out for the meat. Harry turned away trying to get away. Remus smiled at him encouragingly.

"Harry, no, I need you to give me that," Remus said firmly to Harry who was attempting to eat it again. It took a minute or two but Harry finally gave Remus the piece of chicken which remus placed on a nnapkin on the table so he could throw it away. He picked Harry up and put him on the chair and pushed it forward back to the table. Harry also attempted to eat from the table after dropping chicken on the table as well.

After Harry ate his lunch, with Remus's help at the end, Remus had tucked a very fussy Harry in for a nap. He went downstairs and ate his own lunch quietly in the kitchen thinking about things and retreated up to his room to think more. After a little bit more of the silent thinking he started to throw things back in his half unpacked bags

"Remus?" John said stunned by the scene he saw as remus hurried down the stairs with a few bagful of belongings. Remus decided he finally had enough. Harry the delicate child didn't deserve him. He deserved better. It wasn't right of him to stay.

"Where are you going, Remus?" John asked shocked not sure what to think. Remus was walking rapidly almost by the dorr now. John peered intently at remus with his blue eyes..

"I made a mistake, I cannot stay, and put Harry in danger! I am determined to leave," Remus said coldly a trace of anger in his voice. John stood up rather quickly and walked swiftly with big strides towards Remus who was now even closer to the door. John was very unsettled, and shocked what could possibly happened to make Remus change his mind so quicly? Something wasn't write,something was up.

"Remus, think about this," John said hurredily standing between Remus and the door. Remus made to pull out his wand but didn't. He was determined to reason this out and to change Remus's mind.

"You, don't understand how it must work! I am not fit to take care of a young helpless child! I am a violent creature and could hurt him! There's too much at risk and Harry needs none of it!" Remus said pointedly trying to be calm. He took a step forward and crossed his arms sweating. John put up a hand.

"Hang on, look Remus you've seen the state Harry is in. You can't leave, son. He is hurt and he needs you, someone who has time who cares about him. Think about what predicament he will be in if you leave him. More so then he will be in now," John reasoned calmly. Remus took a step back looking around angrily and helplessly. He looked uneasy.

"You don't begin to understand how weak and helpless he is! You don't begin to have any idea what a pitiful state he is presently in! I am determined not to make matters worse for Harry, He does not deserve such a fait! He'd do better without me! me being a werewolf and potentially hurting him, is too big of a risk! Don't you understand, I am a danger to him! He deserves better!" He said angrily restlessly moving around.. He was furious and helpless trying to find a way to burst out of himself. Emotions and anger taking over his body. Tears leaked out and he started to sweat panicked at what to do. He hastily put his bags down.

"Remus, calm down, and think about this more carefully. He needs protection and you've been doing well for him. Everything he needs and wants. As far as I know you mean the world to Harry. It doesn't look like Harry had such support in a long time for a year now. And, he is sscarred. He needs you, Remus. We offered to help and we will step in when you are unable to take care of The poor boy, but Harry needs you," John said reassuringly. He walked towards the couch and sat down looking concernedly at Remus. Who Paced the room looking almost madly angry and upset. Furthermore, he grabbed fistfuls of his own hair and tugged at it frustratedly as if pulling out all his own hair would HELP.

"that is precisely why I must leave! He does not deserve a beast like myself to care for him, to love him! He deserves a better guardian one that can not hurt him, who is more fit to be his guardian!" Remus exclaimed loudly. Dianna who had noticed the shouting came in to the living room looking concernedly.

"You've been doing quite well. You surely don't want to hurt him, do you?" John reasoned. Remus was looking quite mad now pacing the room more rapidly trying get out of himself still pulling on his hair harder now.

"I could potentially hurt Harry, quite easily on accident it would only be a slip even without meaning to!" Remus said frustratedly, "don't you understand, I have no desire to take a chance and then ending up hurting him! I cannot allow myself to be the cause of his suffering and I can so easily!" Remus said helplessly letting go of his hair and throwing his hands up.

"Remus Dear, but I am sure that's a small chance. It should not be something to worry about. You are the kind of person Harry really needs, and that poor dear really needs the good support you have been providing him," Dianna said calmly weighing in on the argument. Dianna walked in to the room and closer to the pair. She noticed the baggage on the floor. She looked at Remus worredily. She said nothing to him however.

"Even if I don't cause him to suffer physically, I would have made him nearly an outcast ! A fait worse then any! Harry does Not deserve it! No one deserves that fait!" Remus said still angry and frustrated. Dianna sighed sitting next to john smiling a little at remus's poor thinking at the moment.

"Remus, please calm down and think about this more carefully, maybe you'll change your mind," John said. Remus looked uncertain. He sat down slowly however in the rocking chair across the room and drew a deep breath. Dianna bussled off to the kitchen. Remus thought taking deep breaths. It made more sense when this sort of opposition was spoken to him by his parents. He worked well to counter it inside his head, but his own arguments seemed les convincing as his parents tried reasoning it out with him. Dianna entered the room again holding a tray of three large cups of hot tea and handded one to Remus.

"Cheer up Remus Dear, and don't be rash," Dianna said Happily, "everything will be alright." Remus sat there drinking the tea slowly and thinking about matters His Parents were right he concluded after about twenty minutes of back and forth in his head. Harry did need him. He sighed, and stood up with his empty glass. He walked to the kitchen and put the glass in the sink. He went back to the living room and picked up the bags he had packed and walked up the stairs. He was ashamed of thinking of leaving. That was wrong. His parents was right. Harry needed him. However, He will have to be careful that his more rough werewolf side doesn't emerge especially when it neared the full moon. The full moon wasn't too far away, now either however. It would be the full moon a week away from today.

He placed his belongings on the floor and decided he was tired. He could put the things away later. He stretched and yawned lazily and laid down on his bed.

Remus figured he should probably take a nap himself so he could have enough energy for the rest of the day to watch Harry. Harry was enjoyable to be around, but oh yes, it was tiring. It required a lot of attention and energy from Remus. It was a little hard to handle, but he thought he would be able to deal with it once he was use to the amount of energy he must put out. Harry needed him and to a certin point, well, he needed Harry too. In some ways while it was difficult after thinking about it, Harry was a highlight to his life. Before He knew it He was fast asleep. His thoughts abandoned by his body needing more rest.

Remus was awaken by a thud from the room next to him and looked around. It was a loud sound too. He glanced at the clock and got up from his bed. He walked out of his room swiftly and in to Harry's. He didn't much like the site he saw when he entered. There was a box dropped on the ground. Harry was on the ground his eyes was wet but he didn't really make any noise. His hands was pressed against his knees. Remus Rushed over concernedly and Harry inched away.

"Harry, here, let me see that knee," He said kneeling down in front of Harry. Harry whimpered and shrunk back and hugged his knee to his chess. Remus felt sickened by the site. He really cared about the boys injuries and yet Harry didn't seem to understand. He was afraid of showing it, if anything.

"don't…, Harry, look, It's alright I need to see that knee of yours I want you to lift your arms and stretch the leg," Remus said softly trying to persuade him still kneeling in front of the upset Harry. Harry didn't really move and remus looked at Harry more concernedly.

"Harry, I swear, I won't be angry at you, and I don't intend to hurt you either," Remus said gently. Harry looked at him, but then looked away again quicly. It took a while before Harry lifted his hands. Remus saw a fresh burn mark that was bleeding. Harry tried to cover it again turning.

"don't…., Harry, here, It's alright,"He said putting a hand on Harry's arm that was almost touching his knee, "I Don't want you to do that, Harry as it could get worse if I don't heal it. I am merely going to heal your cut, so that you don't have to hurt, anymore." He took out his wand and waved it over Harry's knee. Harry looked at the wand curiously, trying hard to discover what it was. He then looked down at his knee which was no longer bleeding shocked. He looked back up at Remus. Harry looked up at him wonderingly and looked down at himself.

"no hurt, you do?" Harry asked in awe of everything he had seen. His eyes directed now at where remus had placed his wand after using it to heal Harry's cuts. Remus smiled and nodded and thought deeply for a moment. He might as well show Harry now he thought.

"Yes," He said thoughtfully. He took out his wand and knelt down next to Harry.

"What I have been doing with this wand, Harry is called magic, Look," he said raising his wand and waved it at a stuffed owl he had brought bak from his small house last night. The owl took off and spread it's wings. Harry gazed at it, his jaw dropped. Remus had the owl fly around the room and then with another wave of his wand the owl landed gracefully on the shelf. Harry made an excited noise and stood up to go to the shelf. The stuffed owl russled his feathers. Harry looked at the owl on the shelf and back at remus.

"It is not the owl that is making it fly, Harry. It is this," Remus explained holding out his wand, "That is what made the owl fly." Harry gazed at the wand for a while.

"no magic, it bad," Harry said looking at the wand, trying to fish for a word to use. But he thought, it didn't exist uncle Vernon had told him when he looked at Dudleys book amazedly and sent him to his room. Another time when Dudley tried to copy the actions in his fairytale book aunt petunia had glared at Harry and shook her head. Uncle Vernon who was sitting on the couch shook a finger at him and sent him to his cupboard.

"Harry, it does in fact exist, and it is not necessarily bad. People who do not possess magical powers, also known as muggles, may sometime be so afraid of it that they allow themselves to believe it is nonexistent and that people who practice it is evil," Remus tried explaining to Harry still kneeling beside him waving his wand and a real life bird appeared and flew around the room. Remus waved his wand again and the bird turned in to a stuffed bird.

"Harry, let's go downstairs," Remus said hearing the doorbell. He had over heard John's and Albus's conversation last night and knew he was coming. Remus gently picked him up but Harry tried to get out of his grip.

"it's Albus, Harry," Remus said gently.
