Chapter 29

Previously on Scars Of The Past -
The Order members were appalled at their leader's actions. Dumbledore grit his teeth. He was losing. Dumbledore didn't lose.

"Now that your relatives are missing. Who do you want to stay with?" asked Snape

"My boyfriend or Remus" replied Harry

Remus had tears in his eyes. How could he not have realized what his cub was going through? He also felt happy though. Honoured, that Harry was still considering living with him even after knowing that he hadn't done anything to get him away from his relatives.

"Harry! It is better if you live with the Weasleys. They would be perfect for you. They already have school-going children. They will be able to provide for you better and you would get to live with your friends!" said Dumbledore.

Harry swore he had seen a look of pure anger flash in Molly Weasley's eyes. Severus was appalled at the gall of the current headmaster of Hogwarts. Was this man still thinking that his opinion would be taken into account? Remus winced at the underlying meaning of the conversation; it didn't go unnoticed by both Severus and Harry.

"Ron and Hermione aren't my friends. If they can't accept me for who I am then, I don't want to be friends with them." Said Harry.

"It isn't my fault that you are a faggot!" said Ron

The order members gasped at the language.

"Mr. Weasley! Mind your tongue. Haven't you taught your child any manners, woman?" said Severus.

"But! My son is right! This is not normal! Everything would be fine if Harry here would settle down with my daughter, have kids and live a happy life. They are perfect for each other. They are meant to be together." said Molly Weasley.

Arthur and the rest of the Weasleys were ashamed to be related to this woman in any way.

"Mrs. Weasley! I don't know how many times must I say this but I am gay. The thought of kissing a girl makes me want to throw up." Said Harry.

"I think that it is for the best that Harry stays with Remus," said Severus.

"But! He is a werewolf. He is dangerous. You said so yourself in the third year." Pointed out, Hermione.

"Remus hasn't bitten anyone, ever in his entire life. Besides, I can brew Wolfsbane for him." Said Severus.

Hermione's comment stung Remus, although he was all too familiar with her concerns. What surprised him most was Severus staunchly defending him.

"I am sure that staying with his boyfriend would be the safer option. Even with the Wolfsbane, I would never be able to forgive myself if I ever hurt Harry" said Remus.

"I am Harry's legal guardian. I have a say in where Harry gets to live" said Dumbledore.

Harry locked eyes with Severus, scared. Severus just squeezed Harry's shoulder.

"Well, in that case; I must remind you that the mate's family has more of a right on him than you do by creature laws!" said Snape.
