They all sat and ate lunch together. Harry never really said much, he just really nodded and smiled. He was learning about another magical place called Hogwarts. It was a school. A school full of witches, wizards and magic. He thought to himself he was crazy for believing it but he did. He couldn't wait to go to this Hogwarts. It could be his fresh start but that was something for later.
Sirius was currently over the moon. He was telling Harry about Hogwarts, about all the marauders adventures and about all their mischief. Yup, practically jumping for joy in his seat. He wanted to believe he had finally got through to Harry so he did but unlike Remus he refused to believe what was right in from of him.
Remus saw the little boy across the table not as a younger, better version of James but as broken. As a little boy who's childhood had been stolen from him and who needed help and he vowed to help him. He promised himself he would always be there for him, and he meant it.
They soon ran out of food and Remus ushered them into the sitting room where stories and laughs continued. Not one detail was missed out. As per Remus was let to the cleaning up but there was really nothing to do. A few quick waves of his wand and the place was spotless and he went to join the others.
Sirius was in between stories when Remus cut in and said something Harry hadn't even dreamed about.
"So Harry what about you. What are your stories''
"Yeah!! Tell us more but don't worry you can leave out anything you want'' added Sirius. He had calmed down considerably and realised this as a warning from Remus.
They had to give Harry the opportunity to speak even though they knew he wouldn't because without that Sirius wouldn't let him or anyone for that matter get a word in. Also, they wanted him to feel like they wanted to hear from him. Basically they wanted him to feel appreciated.
"Emmmm. I dont really have any'' he whispered.
'C'mon sure you do'' they edged him on. This wasn't really just about giving Harry confidence. They genuinely wanted to know more about him and deep down Harry knew this. Maybe this was why he hadn't ran. Why he wasn't thinking of an escape plan but he wasn't ready for this yet, he just shook his head and buried into the big comfy arm chair he was on.
"Maybe another time'' said Remus. He was disappointed but not surprised. He knew the day would come they just had to wait.
Sirius however, did not share his thoughts. He was angry. Angry at the people who did this to his pup. There was one person on his mind.
Dumbledore.
'Mooney, I need to speak with Dumbledore'
He jumped from his seat and stood upright. A terrifying glare in his eyes.
'Don't be daft padfoot. We can't do this, not now. There will come a time but now is not it.
'I don't care about when the time is right or when it isn't I am going to that wizard and I....
There was a ringing in Harry's ears.
'It's not acceptable Remus. They did this to him and we are just letting them be. No! I won't stand for it. This is James' son. James'. I....
This couldn't be happening but it was. It was more real than ever and he was terrified. He snugged into himself and squeezed right into the corner of the armchair and let his thoughts zoom about his head. He knew this was too good to be true. He knew he what was coming next and he didn't even want to run. He felt as though he couldn't move a muscle. He was completely paralysed. Too many times had he saw that look in someone's eyes and too many times had he herd that kind of shouting. He knew what was coming next and as much as he was scared a feeling of sadness took route in his very bones and washed over his entire body in seconds.
He should have known he would never get a family and just like that those horrible words that had been punched and kicked into him all came back and were all felt at the same time. The pain was overwhelming. He was sweating so much. He heard so much shouting untilit all went black.
Another part!!! Not sure what to say here but as always hope you liked this and I will update tomorrow xxxxx ❤️❤️
In case the title was confusing you it just means that what Harry is like now (how scared he is and how deliberately lonely is) will be how he is for a long time and it will take a miracle to change him. The last part proves that.
