Dark, Light, and In Between

Chapter 3

Sirius paced around 12 Grimmauld Place, praying that his godson was alright and safe. It was so unlike Harry to not send any letters, even if it was to say that he was alive. He knew that it had to have been Dumbledore or his magik hating relatives to cut off communication.

Remus walked into the living room and immediately ran into Sirius. He noted the worried look on his mate's face and was overwhelmed with the urge to comfort. He got that he was worried about Harry, since he was in the exact same boat. It was upsetting Moony as well, which wasn't a good thing.

"Siri, you need to calm down." Remus told the frenzied man, setting his hands firmly onto the man's shoulders.

"I know Remus, but i just can't relax as long as he's forced to stay at those disgusting magic haters!" He brought up his hands and fisted them into Remus' shirt. "We've seen the scars! I can only imagine what he must be going through at that place, and I don't like it!" By the end of his outburst he was shaking Remus and growls were reverberating nonstop from his chest. Remus' wolf whined in sadness and pain at the thought of what Harry might be going through, as well as sensing the overwhelming panic and fear emanating from Sirius. Remus wrapped his arms around his mate and held him tightly.

"He will be here soon, and when he gets here he won't have to suffer anymore. We will protect him." Remus sure hoped that what he was saying was true, for both their sakes. Sirius buried his face into Remus' chest as he talked, letting the familiar soothing rumble wash over him.

Both men looked up as Molly strut into the room like she owned the place. Sirius scowled in annoyance. She had been getting on his last nerves for weeks now, always walking with a pompous strut and an air about her like she was the queen. She was always picking apart and judging everything Sirius did, even if it was breathing a tiny bit louder than normal. She even had the audacity to make the comment of how he should act more acceptable around Harry! She wasn't even his guardian in the first place, and she most definitely not his mother!

"Get out Molly!" Sirius growled, not wanting to look at the woman. He knew that being around her right now would only make it worse. Molly glared right back at him, wishing that she could just get rid of the shaggy man right at that moment. She withheld the urge to do away with him, knowing that without him then she would lose Harry and the Potter fortune that she was going to collect from him after marrying him off to Ginny. She huffed and straightened her back, letting one last glare to drill into the two before turning around and leaving the room.
