With us, you are safe (A Sirius black , Harry Potter and Remus lupin story)

Chapter three- meeting him

Remus PoV 

I rang the doorbell on privat drive and heard a mans voice shouting. I could make out the words of ' freak get in there and don't come out otherwise it will be that punishment again you here me!' I hoped to anyone that was listening that it was not Harry he was talking to. I glanced over at Sirius who seemed to have heard too and I saw anger bubbling in his beautiful grey eyes. To calm him down I squeezed his hand and he graciously smiled at me. God I love that man. The door swung open revealing a large man who I guessed to be harrys uncle. If Harry had been abused by him, then he might be might be worse than we thought. Dursley looks like he could swing a good punch. ' Yes ' he grunted rudely ' what do you want?'  Sirius seemed to have took an instant hatred to this man , same as me . He said ' hello to you too dursley ,we have come for Harry ' To my slight delight , dursleys face turned pale . ' I-I don't know what you're talking about. There is no Harry here ' he stuttered nervously.  ' Don't lie!' I yelled , he was really getting on my nerves. Sirius barged past this man into his house. I followed quickly, noticing there was not recognition that another child lived in this house. In unison, Sirius and I both pulled out our wands and pointed them at dursley. 'WHERE IS MY GODSON!? ' Sirius shouted at him

'You're - you're one of them .' He whispered . Sirius laughed and began to search for Harry around the living room and kitchen but to no avail.

Sirius' PoV 

I began to look around the downstairs area . I had to find Harry - I'd made a promised to James that I'd look after Harry if anything happened to him. At that moment , I heard small sobs coming from the hallway. But when I walked in the room , moony was looking just as confused as I was. Another sob was coming from the cupboard.  No . They can't have kept him in a cupboard. Slowly Remus opened the door and what I saw made my heart skip a beat . A small , skinny boy, about the age of four , was crying into the corner of the cupboard , large purple bruises covered his entire body. Well the parts that I could see at least. One of his wrists looked swollen and sore - broken most likely. He stopped crying when he saw me and moony - but shrunk even further back into the corner . Harry  obviously was scarred mentally just as Dumbledore had said.

'We aren't going to hurt you Harry. We promise ' Remus said softly and comfortingly. Harry visibly relaxed but was shocked that the adult was not shouting at him for being a waste of space.  ' I'm Sirius black and this is Remus lupin , we're your godfathers.' Sirius spoke softly. Harry trusted that these men were nice people as they seemed oddly familiar. But he had learned that he wasn't good at trusting people. Remus held out his hand to help Harry out of his cupboard . At first , Harry flinched and moved backwards as he thought they were going to hit him but after a few seconds took the offer. This sight made both me s heart ache. 'Would you like to get away from here and come live with us?' Remus asked nicely. Harry hated being asked questions. Usually they were to test him and if he got the answer wrong then he got hit. Nervously he nodded his head and felt relived as that seemed to have satisfied Remus. When he looked at him , he noticed big scars across his face. Harry wondered how he got them but didn't dare say that out loud because he might get hit. Uncle Vernon said he was a bad boy and that's why he hit him.
