Sirius And Remus Come For Harry

Sirius comes for Harry

Disclaimer- I do not own Harry Potter

With a shaky hand Sirius drew back 3 Heavy bolts and unlocked the thick padlock and what he saw on the other side of the tiny cupboard door astonished the Young wizard

There in front of him was a tiny little broom cupboard but with no brooms. Instead is had a flat pillow on the floor and little drawings that were all ripped had been hung up with stolen pieces of blue tack. There were cobwebs in every corner and Sirius swore he saw a spider scuttle across  that excuse for a pillow. The thing that caught his eye however was the little boy hugging his knees in the corner. He looked as though he was trying to disappear into the wall and was eyeing Sirius with a sort of frightened expression on his thin face.

The little boy had a mass of extremely untidy black hair. He was 6 but looked about 3 and  was painfully thin and visibly shaking. The most striking thing about the boy was his big emerald eyes hidden behind the taped up circular glassess. His eyes spoke volumes. They were full of unshed tears and worry as they scanned his mans face.

As Sirius struggled to comprehend was he was seeing. His godson, but he looked so.............vulnerable. Sirius knew then that gaining this child's trust would be difficult and the next few words that he spoke would have a great deal of impact. "Hello Harry." Sirius' voice was soft and soothing,

Harry didn't know what to do. He liked the look of this man he was different. He wanted nothing more than to run into his arms and trust him but he couldn't do it. He had learned not to trust adults the hard way and wasn't going to forget that lesson any time soon. He knew, who he was and he didn't deserve anything or anyone.

He looked straight into the mans soft grey eyes. They were full of love and hope. Harry had never seen anything like this never mind have it directed at him. He stared into the man eyes for a few more seconds and when he was certain there was no anger or hatred in them he breathed out silently.

Sirius decided to allow the little boy to stare at him and once Harry looked as though he had found what he was looking for he began again, "My name is Sirius or you can call me padfoot"

Harry thought about it he liked the name padfoot

"Harry, I'm your godfather"

The little boys eyes began to expand. No no this couldn't be happening. He looked away, he wouldn't allow himself to believe it. He couldn't handle getting hurt again. He was nothing but an ungrateful freak and a burden. That's what uncle Vernon had always told him. He didn't deserve godparents or birthdays or Christmas or anything for that matter, but the look in padfoot's eyes and face told him he wasn't lying.

Sirius decided to try and speak again, he was running out of time and Remus who had been stuck in the kitchen with 2 fuming Dursleys filling out paper work would not be happy "Harry there is a man in the kitchen called Remus Lupin and he is my good friend. Remus and I live together and we would really like it if you came to live with us too."

Harry couldn't believe it he thought he was  dreaming. There was a little voice in his head shouting at him, telling him this man was lying  but he couldn't help to wonder. He would rather be anywhere than with the Dursleys but he was worried that his padfoot and this Remus would soon realise that he is a freak and send him back. Oh well Harry didn't care even if it was only for about a week he would rather be with this man than the Dursleys. He promised himself he wouldn't speak or do any freakishness or respond, he would just do what he was told. Then Sirius began to speak again.

"Well pup, what do think" Harry took a moment to realise that "pup" was him. He quite liked that name it made him feel warm inside. Harry was soon brought back to reality, This man just asked him a question!! He didn't know what to say. He  got very scared and began to scramble back into his cupboard wanting to be left alone.

Sirius saw this and took a different approach. In the most soothing and mind voice he could do Sirius tried again. He looked straight at the terrified little boy and said softly "Hey, hey I'm sorry. It's ok. Just nod of its a yes."

Harry was extremely taken aback by this voice and the man apologised to him. No one ever apologised to him! Despite the little voice telling him no Harry very slowly and very cautiously began to nod his head up and down.

Sirius let out a little chuckle and a happy grin spread across his face, he reached out to pick up the little boy when he realised that as soon as he had laid a finger on his pup the little boy screamed and immediately began to scramble back into his cupboard.

Sirius knew Harry had done this because he thought Sirius was going to him him and he was disgusted. He pushed the thought to the back of his mind and made a mental note to come back and curse these Dursleys to oblivion. The young man didn't know what to do he really needed to leave but he needed to take Harry with him and to do this the little boy needed to trust him enough to let him carry him. He needed to feel comfortable around his touch. 

"Harry, I promise I won't hurt you, we are just going into the kitchen to get Remus and then I promise we can leave" It pained him to do so but Sirius had to leave, as gently as he could Sirius reached out hugs arms and scooped up the little boy.

Harry realised what was happening and was mortified. No. No. No. He thought. He began to struggle and was really crying by now, he son realise sit was pointless but didn't give up he remained tense and the tears wouldn't stop he squirmed and even screamed at one point.

These antics pretty much made Sirius cry he couldn't believe the state of absolute terror this little child was in just because he was being held. Harry kept squirming and crying but all the while Sirius muttered softly to him and began to walk out the door. Luckily Remus heard and guessed what was going on, he put a few spells on the house before following Sirius out the door.

HEEYYY, sorry it's so long but hope you enjoyed it. Let me know if you think I should continue xxx
