unleashed

Miles away, Remus Lupin was sitting at a kitchen table. Usually he is quite busy, but lately he has been feeling quite melancholy. No more than a month ago he was staying at this house with his best friend. Now that friend is gone. He stayed alone in the dark, dank, house with no company. The only thing he could do was make this place a little more liveable. Kreatcher left as he was no longer bound to the family name. He moved to live with the Malfoy’s. ‘Good riddance’, Lupin thought. He set about getting rid of anything that reminded him of Sirius...including burning that god-awful painting his mother.

Sure the house was starting to feel warmer, but there was something missing. He wanted his childhood friend back. But that will never happen because of one person. Harry. ‘He knew it was stupid to believe all of his dreams. Why the hell did Dumbledore make him take Occlumency? Yes, this was his fault for taking away my best friend. And I will make him pay for it somehow.’ thought Lupin. But just as he was finishing his thoughts he heard a noise in the living room. He ran up the stairs to see what the noise was. As he entered the room he noticed Dumbledore, Hermione and ‘the boy’. He smiled meekly and went back to the kitchen.

Harry was confused, he knew where they were, but he had no idea how Death Eaters could find him. He thought he was hidden by blood. Where was he? It looked like Grimmauld Place, but it was cleaner, warmer, almost like the Gryffindor Common Room at Hogwarts. And why did Lupin leave? Usually he would have wondered why they were rushing in or even wondered if they were hurt, but he just left.

“Harry, Hermione, please have a seat.” said the professor. They sat down next to each other on the couch. Dumbledore sat opposite of them in a fluffy armchair. ‘I have to tell him, after last month, I have to tell him.’ he thought. He took a deep breath.

“Harry, first off, I want to tell you that I want to be completely honest with you, but only on things that I think is okay for you to hear at the moment. I will allow you to ask questions, but I have to let you know now that there may be a chance that I will not be able to give you all of the answers to your questions. But first let us discuss why you are here or rather why there were Death Eaters at your home.

“Harry, it seems as if the Dursley’s were kidnaped while I believe you and Ms. Granger were out of the house yesterday. Apparently, The Death Eaters followed Hermione back to the house. But instead of staying, she left. That is when they made their move. They broke into the home and since you were not there, Harry, they took your blood relatives, hoping to get some information on your whereabouts. Unfortunately, in the attempt of getting all valuable information from them, the Death Eaters killed the Dursley’s, which means you are no longer protected by blood. I am sorry Harry.”

Harry sat there in silence, more like shock. ‘The Dursley’s are dead’. Sure he hated them, but he never wanted them dead. He was no longer protected by his mother’s death. Tom knows where he is at. What was he going to do? Where was he going to stay. He cannot possibly go to the Burrow now. He is not safe there and no one is safe if I am staying with them.

“Sir, where will I go?” asked Harry. He didn’t like the fact that he will probably have to stay here. There are too many memories of Sirius in this place.

“Harry, you will have to stay here. Lupin will make sure that you are safe.” said the elderly professor. “No one ever told you, but this home is now yours. Sirius left it to you in his will only under the circumstances that Lupin stays as well and this place continues to be headquarters.”

“And what about Ron and the rest of the Weasly’s and Hermione? Will they be safe as well?”

“Of course Harry. The Weasly’s will be here in the morning and Hermione can stay here as well, that is if it is alright with her family.” said Dumbledore.
The professor got up and left Harry to his thoughts. He left into the kitchen. Remus was still sitting at the table when he entered the room. Dumbledore sat down next to him.

“Remus, Harry will be staying here during the times he is not in school. I know that this is hard for you, but we have to keep Harry safe. Even if that means you living with him while you are angry with him. I must ask that you please act civil with him. It is no one’s fault that Sirius died except for Tom.”

“No, Albus. That boy took away my one and only friend that I had in this world away from me. I can never forgive him for that. I can’t even look at him and not feel some hatred for the boy. Him and his stupid mistakes....” but Dumbledore interrupted him.

“Remus, we all make stupid mistakes, but Harry lost Sirius too. Harry considered him a second father to James. It is not fair to blame someone for something that could not have been prevented. In time you will see that you are wrong here, Remus. Harry needs you more than ever now that you are the only last surviving friend of James. Sirius put it in his will that he is under your custody. It is time that you swallowed your hatred and forgive him.”

“I will try, Albus, but it will take a long time to forgive him. Where are they now?” he asked.

“They are still in the living room. I am sure that Ms. Granger is trying to comfort him. He no longer has any family left and Tom will not rest until Harry is dead. I am sorry to say that that time may come all too soon for us. Until then, the Weasly’s will be here in the morning to work with Harry. But I need your help in helping Harry train to fight, when the time is right.” With that, the professor stood up and with a tiny ’POP’, he left the building.

Remus sat at the table for another couple of minutes thinking. ‘Maybe Albus is right. Harry didn’t know that his dream was fake. And Sirius was important to him as much as he was to me. Hell, I would have done the same if I saw what he saw. But he shouldn’t be having those dreams anyway. I just wish I had my friend back. Truth is, I have never been close to Harry ro know what he is feeling. Maybe I should make that up right now. I mean, I am supposed to be taking care of him.’ as he finished his thoughts he went back on the stairs and back into the living room. Harry and Hermione were not there.
***********

As Dumbledore left the room Harry put his head in his hands and wept.

“Harry it is going to be alright. You are not alone. Sure you don’t have protection on Privet Drive, but we are here to protect you.” said Hermione placing a hand on his back, rubbing to take away his pain. She wished that she could take all of his burden into her life instead of seeing the man that she love hurt so much. ‘I wish there was something that I could do.’

“‘Mione, I don’t want to be alone in this world.” he choked out through his sobs. He looked into her eyes. She was crying along with him. “Why are you crying, ‘Mione?”

“I am crying because, no one should have to deal with this. I was just thinking how could I take away your pain so that you didn’t have to deal with it anymore.” She looked into his eyes and leaned in to kiss him. She wanted to show how much she loved him....no matter what it took.

Harry was shocked that with all that was said yesterday and today, she was kissing him. He only sat puzzled for a few moments before he grabbed the back of her head with one hand and pulled her closer. ‘I don’t want to be alone and she is still willing to be here with me. Oh, God, I love her so much, but she is in danger too....’ he didn’t complete his thought because she started to caress his thigh and was moving up. She gently pulled away.

“Let me take you upstairs to help you forget about your problems for one night.” she said while looking into his watery eyes. He nodded. They got up and walked out of the living room and up the stairs. They found one room with a large bed, they went in and shut the door.

As soon as the door was shut, Harry placed both of his hands on her shoulders ran them down to her breasts. He kept going down until he reached the bottom of her shirt, which he pulled off and threw to the other side of the room. The kissing became more fierce as she pulled off his shirt. Harry’s hands moved down Hermione’s legs. He grabbed her thighs and lifted her up and carried her to the bed. He placed her on the bed and continued to undress her. He slid off her yellow pajama shorts, then her underwear. He stopped to look at her perfect, naked form on the bed. She sat up and pulled down his sleep pants. They were both naked. They sat there looking into each other’s eyes and taking in the sight of each other’s bodies. Neither of them knew what to do next.

Hermione grabbed Harry’s shoulders and pulled him down to lay on top of her. He kissed the hollows of her neck and moved down to kiss and suckle each of her breasts. He kissed her stomach and then kissed the inner part of her thighs. He looked up at her one more time then he bent his head and kiss the very woman of her. Licking and teasing, not really sure if he was doing this right. He had only heard of this act. Obviously he was doing this right because he felt Hermione run her fingers through his hair. He heard her moan with satisfaction. The moaning became louder and he felt her whole body start to shiver roughly. He stopped to see that she was smiling at him. He moved up and positioned himself over her ready to enter her. She looked up and nodded as is giving Harry the ‘go ahead and do it’ look. Harry kissed her neck as he slid slowly into her. Hermione gasped as she felt Harry break her barrier.

Harry looked up at her and whispered, “Are you okay?” She nodded. Knowing that she was alright, Harry started to pump faster. Hermione started to moan louder which made Harry Go faster. Just as he was going to climax, Lupin entered the room.

“WHAT THE HELL DO YOU TWO THINK YOU ARE DOING?!” he roared. Harry jumped off of Hermione and looked at Lupin in horror as he walk towards them. He pulled Harry up and threw some clothes to Hermione to get dressed in and grabbed the blanket to wrap around harry and pulled him out of the room.

Once they were outside he let Harry go and looked at him sternly. “Harry, what were you thinking? You could do some serious damage to her. She could get pregnant! What where you planning to do if that happened?” he brushed his hair out of his eyes. He never knew how to deal with these things. He didn’t even know that Harry and Hermione were that serious.

“Lupin, I am sorry that you caught us like that. I didn’t even know that we were going to go that far. She was just wanting to comfort me. I swear, this never happened before.” pleaded Harry.

“Fine, but you two sleep in different rooms tonight, and if it happens again, I will kill you myself.” he pointed to a room down the hall indicating for Harry to go to bed.
