An: I own nothing. Also if you find a grammar error pm me and tell me were so I can fix it. Also I did not state it before, this is AU.
Tinkerbell and Claws
"Well young lady how many titles are you going to add?" Remus said with a sly smile. Hermione, who blushed harder, quickly grabbed Harry to keep from floating to the ceiling.
"Well, let us count how many she has now. She is the "Brightest Witch of her age." I believe Fred and George dubbed her a "delectable witch", I happen to agree, "Lady of the right hook". Harry paused thinking to himself.
"Wait why did she get the last one?" Remus said looking a bit shocked.
"Oh, we never told you? Hermione got rather upset by some things the "ferret" was saying, and took it upon herself to do something about it." Harry grinned broadly at Hermione's discomfort.
"Well done. I am sure that he deserved every bit of it." Remus smiled at her proudly.
"Who is the "ferret" and how did you get the first one?" Hank asked with a small smile.
"Draco Malfoy is the "ferret", a man posing as "Mad Eye" changed him into a ferret as a punishment for trying to attack Harry from behind, and I can answer the second one as well. She was the only one in her class to figure out that I was a werewolf." Remus said still beaming at her.
"So you found out about Dumblebutt messing with my life, did you?" Harry asked with a smirk.
"Yes, much to my horror. Harry I had no idea he was keeping you there, when you should have been with Sirius or Mr. Logan. I will do whatever it takes to earn your trust back." Remus said solemnly
"Moony the only thing you are guilty of is believing in that meddling old coot." Harry stated firmly
"Claws is right, Remus. You were not the only one fooled by him. I am sure most of the order has been hoodwinked in to his plans without knowing it." Hank said to which Remus smiled sadly.
"Oh! I almost forgot. Arthur and I went to see your aunt."
"I am sure that was a wonderful experience for you." Harry said sarcastically.
Scott and Hank shot Logan questioning looks.
"His aunts a real Bi*** and his Uncle is worse."
"Yes very but, Dudley stopped us before we left. He wanted to me to tell you thank you." Harry blinked in confusion.
"Did he say why?"
"For saving him."
"What were you saving your cousin from?" Hank asked
"Dementors, they showed up in the neighborhood. They were about to deliver "The Kiss" to him, when I was able to get off the Patronus Charm."
"Really? Than is a very difficult spell from what I understand."
"I did that last year. I learned the spell third year, and held off a least a hundred or so of them at that time." Harry stated flatly. Hank stood with a shocked look on his face, for several seconds. Remus chuckled, wondering when he should tell Hank, he was the one that taught him the spell.
"Why Dr. McCoy, you look a bit gobsmacked." Hermione quipped at Hank's expression. Much to everyone's amusement Hank sputtered for a few seconds before recovering enough speak.
"Astounding, third year, you were what thirteen, fourteen at the time?" Harry nodded
"Thirteen and Remus is the one who showed me how to do the spell." Harry said shooting Remus an evil smirk.
"Yes, it is true. So how did you find out about Mr. Logan being your father?"
"Well it seems that Gringotts was trying to reach me forever, again courtesy of the old coot. They read Sirius and my parent's wills. They were very adamant that I go to either Sirius or Logan. So Logan got stuck with me." Harry said. Logan growled and stared at Harry.
"Harry I highly doubt that you are a burden to Mr. Logan."
"Sorry, geez guys." Hermione sighed and hugged Harry.
"Oh and enough with the mister would ya making me feel old."
Remus' stomach decide that this was the time for it to make itself known. Hank cringed "I apologize Remus; I completely forgot that you had not eaten yet. Come on this way to the kitchen."
"As long as you are not the one cooking, I don't want to cough up blue hair balls."
"Ha ha, Remus. One small blue hair and you will not let me live it down."
"Oh, come now old man you know I don't mean anything by it." Harry shook his head as the two men made their way to the kitchen.
"Have you eaten love?"
"Sort of; I wasn't finished when I came in here." Harry growled, turned her toward the door and swatted her on the ass. Hermione yelped and took off for the cafeteria. Scott, Storm and the Professor all looked shocked; Logan however was trying not to laugh.
"Logan you really should say something. That was not amusing."
"Storm, I would have done the same thing. He is just taking care of his girlfriend. I sure she scolds him quite a bit if he misses a meal when she has already eaten."
"You have no idea." Harry said rolling his eyes. "So Professor, am I to be learning with you the rest of the morning or what am I to be doing today?"
"I think that your assessment tests should be first, get them out of the way, then helping Remus with the ward for the school."
"Alright, sounds like a plan. So who is giving the tests?"
"Storm and perhaps you would like to wait for Ms. Granger to finish her breakfast?"
"Well I better make sure she is eating then." Harry said with an impish smile as he took off for the cafeteria.
Hermione was still rubbing where Harry had swatted her. She quickly got back to the table to see that what she had gabbed would not be something that Harry would approve of. She swiftly got Rogue and Kitty to take her portions and headed back to get a larger breakfast. She managed to sit back down again, just in time for Harry to come in and sit down next to her.
"What is this that you are eating?"
"I call it breakfast. What would you call it?"
"Cheeky. Mad because of the swat?" Harry asked with a grin, Hermione blushed a deep red before returning to her breakfast. "Have to remember that for later." Hermione nearly choked on her bacon.
"So what do you want to start with?" Hank said while cooking some eggs and ham, the hash was already made so he just needed to do was heat it up. Remus thought about it for a moment.
"Well I should get the wards up first. Then I will need to send some letters to Gringotts here to get things squared away." Remus said thoughtfully, when Logan came in looking for more coffee.
"You would know more about this then I would. How do I get charges filed against Dumbledore?"
"Well with what I know and the children's memories. We can get him on trying to interfere with proper succession of titles and wills, conspiracy to commit fraud with love potion to get illegal marriages arranged. Is there anything else that I don't know about?"
"Well they stuck him in an abusive home, against his parents' wishes. He used a compulsion charm to make him loyal to the old coot, a power charm which halved his power and the other half went to that a**hole, a "glamour" so no one would remember him. This of course meant that no one would be able to help him. A redirect spell to shift a prophecy to him. He has stolen from him, along with the Wessley's? Hummm bunch of red heads."
"Merlin's beard, this is much worse than I thought. With what I know, and what you just told me, Dumbledore is looking at being in prison for the rest of his natural life!"
"Kid also mentioned that a teacher was forcing his way into his mind. The Professor thinks that this teacher was doing it on Dumblebutt's orders. Also he thinks that Dumblebutt was doing it to Tink too."
"Did he say who the teacher was?" Remus said fearing the answer.
"Snape? I think he said was the teacher's name."
"Oh! Harry and Severus have a long standing loathing for each other. Severus has always compared Harry to James. Severus can hold a grudge I have to give him that one."
"Oh! That's why he got pissed at Cyke." Logan shook his head, while Hank nodded in agreement.
"I am sorry. I don't understand."
"Scott made a comment when he met Claws that he was just like Logan. Claws warned Scott not to do so again." Remus was sat trying very hard to keep a straight face and failed miserably. Hank just sighed and changed the subject.
"Wasn't he the one you told me had the crush on Lily Evens? Why would he hate James Potter?"
"Ahh...Lily Evens became Lily Potter. Severus never could get over Lily choosing James over him."
"So he hurts the kid to get back at a dead man?"
"When it came to Lily, Severus was never reasonable." Remus said sadly "He never hated the cub, it was just that he was a constant reminder of what he could have had with Lily. Also he was the spitting image of James."
"So that gives him the right to take it out on my cub!"
"No of course not, but like I said when it came to Lily, he is anything but reasonable. I think he blames Harry for her death as well."
"Why?" both ferals asked in unison.
"Lily sacrificed herself to save Harry. Her sacrifice activated an old magic and that is what saved Harry that night."
"That's why he said I might not survive a "Killing Curse." Remus looked at him wondering why he thought he would survive in the first place. Hank noticed the look and decided to explain.
"Remus one of Logan's abilities is that he has a healing factor. We have seen him survive bullets to the head, smashing through a windshields and getting gutted."
"Who survives things like that?"
"Me and now the kid."
"Harry can do that now?"
"Yeah, he has metal claws and skeleton just like me."
Hank set Remus breakfast in front of him, and then plated his own. Remus dug in with vigor, think of everything that he had been told. Logan could smell the change in the werewolf; he could tell Remus was getting angry the more he thought.
"Nice to know someone from your little group actually give a damn about my cub." Logan grunted out. Remus snapped out of his thoughts quickly.
"What makes you think that no one does?"
"They would have tried harder to get him out of his aunt's house."
"Being a werewolf I was not able to press a case of any kind to get him out. That and Albus has everyone convinced that Harry had to renew the blood wards that were protecting him to start with. How bad was it for him?" Remus asked stirring his tea. Hank and Logan exchanged looks, before Logan huffed.
"Kids been starved most of his life, he has heavy scars from beatings, and tons of broken bones which miraculously healed correctly. I would assume that was his magic that made that happen." Logan said sipping his coffee.
Remus sat looking sadly at his plate and nodded. Hank nudged his elbow signaling him to eat.
AN: So read and review. Thanks for reading.
