Fandom : HP
Notes: An abused boy finds out he's a wizard and a hero; his tormented mind rebels. One person sees through the misconceptions to the real Harry and treats him the way he deserves. How does this change them both and those around them
Evil Kitty Dictator-
'Awwwwwwww sappy moments all around haha. I can't wait till they catch Peter, that's gonna be way interesting. Oh well
Lee isn't needed to make the relationship cute, the twins can do it all by themselves. Even though Sirius maybe innocent like in the movie it doesn't mean he'll be forgiven for all the cruel things he did to Sev. IF Harry does accept his innocence it won't turn out how he wants that's for sure. Update when you can.' - Yes, catching the rat is interesting. Yes, twins are adorable. He is innocent only of the betrayal of James and Lily, not of what happened to Severus. I don't see Harry or Remus being to keen on having him around because their love for Severus..
Sari Sunshine-
'AWW! Love and twincest! Who does't love some good twincest?... Maybe my sisters they being twins and all. Lol Good Crookshanks attacking that nasty AWWZ Ollie wanting the cup for Percy too so sweet and just general AWWWZ all around for this chapter.I have a bad feeling about all the goodness going on something bad is bound to happen' - George and Fred are love...
Crookshanks is a smart cat thing. Yes Oliver loves his Percy...yeah it will be interesting.
Notes: Any objection to Remus having a crush on Severus? I think I have five [I mean seven] votes for a RemusxSeverus relationship...
Chapter - Black in the Castle
A large black dog emerged from the forest, "You know about Peter…"
Remus glared at Padfoot, "I happened to use our old map…obviously he showed up and he hadn't been seen as a ghost so that left Wormtail."
The dog sneered, "What is old Snivellus doing here…"
Remus glared, reaching for Severus' hand, "His name is Severus not Snivellus. I don't appreciate your treatment of my lover. Insulting him is not the best way to gain my assistant."
"You're a poof…"
"Never was into broads. I left them to you. Severus was the only person I ever wanted. Now he's given me a chance…you have one chance and fifteen minutes to prove that I shouldn't let him contact Fudge. They want you to receive the Dementor's kiss."
Sirius gulped, "I didn't do anything…except the escape."
Severus glared, "Apparently your friendship with James meant nothing if you say you didn't do anything. We know Pettigrew is lying, what about the mutt."
Remus sighed, "He is either telling the truth or believes it. It smells the same. Let's just put the dog and the rat in the same dungeon and see what happens. I already made my choice Severus. Don't forget that. I'm only doing this to get true justice for Lily."
Severus blushed, "I'll accept that." he glared at Sirius, "You try to run or attack anyone I will be happy to put you down like the dog you are. I managed to avoid doing that for years."
The venom in Severus' tone brokered no objection.
Sirius grunted. "I didn't come with the intention of hurting anyone but Peter. He owes me for twelve years in prison."
They made their way to the potions lab, Remus wrinkled his nose, "Smells like he hasn't left. Not that Sirius smells much better."
"Excuse me, I at least attempted proper hygiene contrary to the greasy snake."
Remus growled, "Do not insult my lover. You are making me angry Sirius. I am not impressed."
"You used to enjoy our Snivellus baiting."
"No, I didn't. I just was afraid of the consequences of standing up to you and James. Now I don't care. I grew up, I accepted my faults and now I'm pursuing the man I love. I want him as my mate…I wouldn't be striving for that if I wasn't serious Sirius." Remus opened the door, "Look who I found Peter. This poor dog was freezing out in the forest…he was hungry…maybe…I should let you change back so he can eat you for dinner. Unless you'd prefer to be Crookshanks' dinner."
"Remus…how could you bring him here…he'll kill me…"
"Kill you? I should. I spent twelve years in Azkaban for crimes you committed. You betrayed us all. Tell them who the Secret Keeper was. Tell them…" Sirius growled from his place near the door.
"Lies Remus…all lies you have to protect me."
"Shut up Rat man. You reek of lies and bad hygiene." Blaisé glared.
Peter shifted nervously, "Remus…"
"Don't whinge to me Peter. I'm starting to be annoyed with you. I will be turning you over to the Ministry as an unregistered animagus. As for Sirius, he has ten minutes to prove I shouldn't turn him in and let him be kissed. Unless that punishment should be yours traitor."
Minerva McGonagall shook her head, "I never expected Peter Pettigrew of all people to become an animagus. Much less a member of my house becoming a Death Eater, no offense Severus but I was under the impression that they all came out of your house."
"Most of them have, power has sadly been associated with evil more often then good." Severus said grimly.
"Check his hand. I'm sure you'll find his finger wasn't blow off. I bet no one even checked his wand to see what spells he cast last. I didn't blow up the street. I know no one checked my wand. Just a second." the dog shimmered changed and became a man…
A mass of filthy, matted hair hung to his elbows. If eyes hadn't been shining out of the deep, dark sockets, he might have been a corpse. The waxy skin was stretched so tightly over the bones of his face, it looked like a skull. His yellow teeth were bared in a grin. It was Sirius Black, not doubt about it.
Harry felt a surge of fear and anger…
Draco staggered from the two emotions, "It's okay…"
"I've been waiting years to face you Peter. You stinking cowardly rat. Sold your loyalty to the highest bidder? My Loyalty was always to James…" He bared his forearm, "I don't have the mark. Do you…"
"He made me…he was great and terrible…hard to deny…he found out…"
"Don't Lie!" Sirius roared. "You went and told him where they were. The safe house we put you in that I was Secret-keeper to was dusty…you hadn't stayed there and there was no sign of a break-in. I was an Auror! I heard about an attack in Godric's Hollow. I knew it was James and Lily. I hurried from the Ministry to their house…it was a shambles. I couldn't have told. I wasn't their secret Keeper. I knew I would be the first person He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named would expect. I was sure Peter would be safe. I didn't think they would have suspected him. I should have insisted on Remus but he had disappeared off with other werewolves. The ministry was sure all of them had gone hostile."
"Dumbledore forced me to be his spy. I didn't want to be involved with the other werewolves. I was disgusted with them." Remus glared.
"It's not my fault! The Dark Lord…"
Severus snorted, "Only Death Eaters call him that."
"We swore that we would never betray each other. We were supposed to be friends to the end. I would have died for either of you in those days, the feeling wasn't mutual obviously," Remus spat. "Some friends. You trust Peter yet you thought I was a traitor? Fool! I thought you knew me better. Bet you wished you hadn't taken pity on me and become an animagus."
Sirius blinked, "I never regretted becoming an animagus. I was grateful for it…I managed to not go insane like my cousin Bellatrix because I knew I was innocent and I wanted revenge. It wasn't a happy thought so it wasn't affected the Dementors."
"How did you figure out Weasley's rat was Scabbers…" McGonagall asked.
Sirius put one of his claw-like hands inside his robes and took out a crumpled piece of paper, which he smoothed flat and held out to show the others.
It was the photograph of Ron and his family that had appeared in the Daily Prophet the previous summer, and there, on Ron's shoulder, was Scabbers.
"How did you get this?" Lupin asked Sirius, thunderstruck, Azkaban inmates were supposed to be denied newspapers….
"Fudge," Sirius said. "When he came to inspect Azkaban last summer, he gave me his paper. And there was Peter, on the front page on this boy's shoulder…I knew him at once…how many times had I seen him transform? And the caption said the boy would be going back to Hogwarts… to where Harry was…" there was a softness in his voice when he said Harry's name.
It gave Harry the creeps, he didn't like this man….but he liked Peter even less. His father had terrible choice in friends. He was starting to like Remus though, the older man seemed more honest.
Remus took the paper and stared at it, "He looks healthy here…more so then now. I guess he started stressing when he heard you were free. Most assumed you wanted Harry dead."
Sirius blinked, "Kill Harry? He's my godson…I love James like a brother. I would never hurt him. I let Hagrid my flying motorbike to take him to safety."
Draco snorted, "That oaf gave Harry to Dumbledore who left him with Lily's Muggle sister. They beat him, staved him and forced him to work like a house else. I'm glad your guardianship was overturned."
Sirius blinked, "I…had hoped…Harry could live with me…"
Severus smirked, "Andromeda is head of the House of Black and she is allowing Harry to stay with me. He's my son…" he wasn't losing Harry to his tormentor…
Harry said quietly, "Don't want to leave papa Sev."
Sirius stiffened, "What magic is this? Have you confounded my godson and my friend?"
Remus glared, "I approached Severus of my own free-will. You're treading on thin ice Sirius."
McGonagall rolled her eyes, "Interesting reunion. Can we get on with it? You and Severus have classes."
"Of course Minerva. Can you prove you didn't betray Lily to her death…" Severus nodded, fixing Sirius with a malevolent gaze.
"His hand…look at his finger…he cut it off just before he transformed," Sirius said. "When I cornered him, he yelled for the whole street to hear that I'd betrayed Lily and James. Then, before I could curse him, he blew apart the street with the wand behind his back, killed everyone within twenty feet of himself and sped down into the sewer with the other rats…"
Remus grabbed Peter's filthy hand, "Sliced. Looks like from a silver blade. I want his wand tested. If he blew up the street…it's possible…"
Peter grabbed his wand, and pointed it at Remus' throat. "I'll kill him if you don't let me go."
Severus pulled out his wand, "Don't hurt Remus." He cast expelliarmus and levicorpus nonverbally on the rat. He wasn't sure how he felt about the werewolf he spent over half his life hating but he didn't like seeing the man threatened like that.
BANG! Thin, snakelike cords burst from the end of Severus's wand and twisted themselves around Peter Pettigrew, narrowly missing Remus as they bound Pettigrew's mouth, wrists, and ankles; he overbalanced and fell to the floor, unable to move.
"I'm going to retrieve my Veritaserum. You'll both take some and you'll tell the truth. Believe me Pettigrew, I have no problem with using less pleasant ways to learn the truth."
Sirius who had no wand had been rapidly thinking how to save Remus without his old friend being hurt much. Once an Auror always and Auror…
Remus coughed, bending to retrieve his wand, before he took six steps and crushed Severus to his chest. "Thank you…"
Severus blushed weakly pushing him away, his arms had little strength after all, "Remus…not now…"
Sirius tried not to gag.
Draco was smirking and winked at Blaisé, Uncle Sev was starting to have feelings for Remus.
I hope I didn't disappoint the RemusxSeverus fans out there. I have issues seeing Remus the werewolf as anything but seme...though Severus will protest...
I know it's a cliffy sorry *hides*
