Alright Guys here it is and now I'm on a roll so there will be more after thanksgiving. I just wanted to thank all that have reviewed and reminded me that people wanted and were waiting for an update. As always speaking "..." and thoughts are in italic.

He couldn't figure out why he had even begun to believe that this would be a good idea. Normally he would have been able to control himself. To let James and Sirius be the ones who caused the most trouble. But having the room there, just a few steps away from his own was just so tempting.

He, Remus John Lupin, was about to break Harry's privacy in exactly the same way that Sirius had. Currently he was looking around Harry's pensive room, contemplating if he should just turn around and leave.

Earlier he had believed he could actually wait until Harry decided to tell them on his own. But Mooney the wolf inside him had other plans. This was the cub of his pack they were talking about! Mooney saw it as his duty to fix Harry's troubles and to do that well…. He would have to do this.

Silently he walked around the room. Careful not to make any noise seeing as everyone else was asleep. The selves were stocked full of everything he could ever imagine knowing about The-boy-who-lived. Moments from Harry's childhood to his school days and well everything in between.

His heart ached in his chest as Remus soon realized that all third year Harry had been in the same classroom with him and yet he never saw any of the signs, never got close enough to Harry to ask him about himself. He could feel mooney give a whine at the idea of Harry not telling him of all people, practically his uncle, about what he was going through at home. But that had been partially his own fault. Remus had come to believe at first that getting to know Harry on more family like level when he was teaching at Hogwarts would bring back the pain of losing James. After all they looked so much alike and to anyone just glancing at him they acted alike too.

But Remus knew that that wasn't true, when you got to know Harry, I mean really know him you could see both his parents, Lily and James. However then there was something else something that made Harry not just a clone of James or even a mix of him and Lily. But something that made Harry entirely himself.

He himself had tried all third year and was still trying to pin point what that was. Though he had yet to learn it he wasn't going to give up while he was still living.

Remus felt another pang of sadness as he suddenly thought that he could already have the information on Harry if he had been able to raise him. To take care of him in the way that a child was supposed to be taken care of. Nothing like the way the durselys had, from what he had heard from Harry they had even messed up Dudley. It was as if they could only parent in extremes, either completely spoiled or not taken care of at all.

Thinking back to him getting custody of Harry it was not that he hadn't tried. It was just that with his furry little problem, aka Mooney, no one would listen to his plea. He could still remember the day he had been turned down like it was yesterday.

A fist slammed down in anger on Dumbledore's desk. Young and slightly stronger looking Remus Lupin was positively seething at the information he had just been given.

"You left him with Petunia and her husband! But they're muggles they won't understand him or take care of him like a wizard of witch could!"

"Remus it is for the better, he couldn't grow up in the wizarding world and it is safer for him to be at his aunt's house, we have gone over this already." The headmaster replied with that same annoying twinkle still going in his eye.

Earlier that day Remus had gotten a fire call from Minerva saying that Harry had been dropped off at his aunt and uncles and would not be coming to live with him like he had asked for. He hadn't wasted any time getting straight to Hogwarts and to Dumbledore's office just to see if it was indeed true.

"I don't care how many times we've spoken about it Albus! Harry needs to be with me, I can care for him and love him with the same amount of love that Lily and James would have." His mind still couldn't process the fact that Harry had been just left there on a door step with a letter. Ha! A letter as if that would make everything better and explain all.

Harry shouldn't be there he should be with Remus drinking hot coco every night and continually reading. Well he and Sirius since Sirius was technically his godfather but he couldn't even stand to think about his other old friend at the moment.

" I understand Remus that you are angry with all that has happened concerning young Mr. Potter but there is no way even if had had not gone to his aunt's that you would be able to has custody of him. The ministry will not allow it to happen, not with you being what you are."

That sentence slowly washed over Mr. Lupin and he knew deep down that Dumbledore was right. Even if there was a plan, such as Harry going to the Weasleys every full moon the ministry still wouldn't allow it. They believed that all werewolves were just horrible human beings also.

"Dumbledore... I... I need this; I need him... after everything we've both lost. After how we've both been betrayed, we're the last thing we have left." He said timidly as his last hope. The pain of just recently losing not one but all of his friends coming back at him full force.

The Headmasters eyes softened a little and his gaze saddened. As he remembered that Remus wasn't only fighting for custody of Harry but also for his last connection to James and Lily Potter.

"I understand your pain my young friend but this is the way things are. I'm deeply sorry but there is no changing it what's done is done."

"I… (Cough) I can't even go and visit him?" Remus asked. Going out on a limb and knowing that it wasn't as good as having him live with him but was better than not seeing him at all.

"No Remus I am sorry but that is not possible."

There wasn't even a reason why not, the because I said so and that's final was very childish and was not said by the elderly headmaster but Remus still heard it loud and clear. So with a sigh of pain he turned away, walked out and shut the door as softly as he could. Hoping that tea and a nice rich bar of chocolate would stop the tears from coming to him that night.

Remembering that fight suddenly made Remus very angry with Albus Dumbledore. And why shouldn't he be? After all it was Dumbledore's call to leave Harry with Petunia and he would bet money that he never even thought to check up on him. Believing in his own naïve way that families would always take care of each other and that that love was just automatically there. Usually however it was but there were some cases, Harry's being the prime example, which showed that it was not all the time.

He gave one last look to the door that would lead him out and turned away from it and began his search for the perfect memory to watch.

Okay so it's short I know but now that it's done I need your help. WHAT MEMORY SHOULD REMUS WATCH? I'll take any and all ideas whether it is something made up from the Durselys of something that was actually in the book.
