"Remus? Sirus? What are you doing here?!" Harry ran down stairs, his eyes filling with tears as he hugged them both

"We heard you ran away, and the last person you were seen with was Lucius, we thought he hurt you or something so we came here as soon as we got the chance" Sirius explained as he held Harry in a tight hug

Harry cried into Sirius ' chest for about 5 minutes

"I missed you so much"

"I know pup, we missed you too"

"May we come inside?"

"If it's ok with Lucius and Draco yes!"

"Well of course, come in on everyone"

Remus and Sirius walked into the Malfoy manor, looking around carefully their wands not leaving their hands as the followed Lucius, Draco, and Harry too the sitting room

"Please sit, I will explain everything"

Everyone nods and sits down, Remus and Sirius sitting together, Harry and Draco sitting together, and Dudley sitting alone, angrily glaring at Draco

"First of all, Remus, Sirius, Harry a little, and I'm sure you both already know what that is, anyway, Harry and his cousin Dudley ran away from home, they somehow got to diagon ally, once at diagon ally I found the two of them being harassed by press, and people from the daily prophet"

"Harry's a little?!"

Remus looked shocked

"Whos his caregiver? He can't stay he with you! If he's a little he should be with us and we can be his caregivers!"

"As I was saying, I brought them back here, and I decided it was time Harry knew the truth, Harry, it wasn't Voldemort who killed your parents, it was dumbledore, he is the reason your parents are no longer with us, he is the evil one, Voldemort never hurt anyone, unless he was doing what dumbledore said"

Harry's eyes fill with tears

"wow.."

Draco gently hugged Harry "I'm sorry"

"Voldemort went insane, until recently he wasn't in his right mind, And dumbledore took advantage of that, dumbledore wants to use you as a pawn, but we don't, we want you to be safe, we want you to be our family"

Harry nodded, tears gently running down his face

"No way! I'm sorry Lucius but Harry is my godson. He belongs with me, not you"

"I want to stay..please Sirius"

"Harry...you want to stay? With them? Why?"

"I don't know, I just want too"

"Harry, all I want is for you to be happy, so if you want to stay with the malfoys that's fine but I still want to be apart of your life, big or little I still want to be with you through everything and I want to be in your life"

"Then move in with us"

"Lucius I'm being serious"

"I am serious, you can stay with us, we have plenty of room, and Harry needs as many people as he can get, especially with well...I'll show you later"

"Remus what do you think?"

"I think it's a wonderful idea, thank you Lucius"

"Of course, the house is quite empty considering the size, we'd be happy to have you two join us, and you'd be closer to Harry"

"Thank you Lucius"

"Boys, could you three please leave us for a moment"

Dudley, Harry, and Draco all walked out of the room

Lucius sits down next to Remus and Sirius with a concerned look on his face

"What is it Lucius?" Sirius says, changing from soft and warm to serious and cold

"A bit before you arrived, draco gave Harry a bath, and had a house elf inform me that well, Harry has multiple bruises and scars along his back, thighs, and arms"

"What do you mean?"

"Yeah what the hell. Your a liar. What would Harry have scars from? No one would ever dare to lay a finger on him"

"Is that what you think?"

Remus and Sirius nodded

Lucius stood up and quickly walked to the door

"Draco! Bring Harry here for a moment"

A couple minutes later draco walked in, carrying Harry bridal style in his arms while Harry clung to Draco's chest

"Aww you two are so cute!" Lucius smiled

"I have to agree with you on that Lucius"

Draco blushed and smiled

"So what do you need?"

"Well it's about Harry's scars, could you show us at least the ones on his back?"

"Harry, are you ok with me showing them the scars on your back"

"You don't have to talk to me like I'm a baby, I can show them on my own"

Harry squirmed out of the Draco's arms, carefully taking off his shirt and turning his back, showing Sirius,Remus and Lucius his back

His back was covered in cuts, bruises, healed scars, and even some scars that could be from less then a week ago

"Harry what the hell happened to you?!"

Harry looked away, his eyes filling with tears

"It was my mum and dad" Dudley walked in almost immediately to tell everyone what happened

Sirius angrily stood up and walked towards Dudley

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HIM?! YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE DISGUSTING! HOW DARE YOU?! HOW DARE YOU LAY YOUR GRUBBY FAT GREEDY HANDS ON MY GODSON?!"

"It wasn't me!"

"It was petunia and Vernon! Dudley protected me from them a lot!"

"Then I apologize for yelling. Harry why didn't you tell anyone"

"Sirius, he probably tried too, but you know how dumbledore is, he never listens, and I doubt any of his muggle " friends " would even listen to him"

"Can we stop talking about this"

"of course Harry, how about we go to the lake? We have a cabin on a private lake we could go to for a few days, just as a break since your still adjusting to us it would be a nice family bonding trip"

"That actually sounds nice.."

"Great! You boys go pack I'll talk to one of the house elfs about preparing things at the lake house"
