Chapter 4
Leaving Hogwarts
“What?” Harry asked meekly.
“You heard me, pup” said Sirius with a serious expression.
“B-but why?”
“Bambi, I think it would be better if we go and talk somewhere more private” Remus said to him.
Harry just nodded numbly at those words. Not really hearing them. He was still in shock to hear those words. Voldemort was looking at his enemy with concern which he would deny later on vehemently. But he could feel the sadness in the boy through their link and he hated it. He rather had a happy Potter than a sad one. It was giving him a headache to feel all those feeling through their link. Not even Occlumency was helping him in this matter. He would know. He had tried it in the last three weeks. But every time he thought he had shield himself the barriers around his mind would break and let him feel Potter again. He began to rub himself against Potter to get his attention and was not surprised when he saw a small smile making its way slowly on Potter’s face. He could still feel the sadness in the boy but it was not as much as it was before.
Well, at least it was something. Not everyone can be that great about something like this and succeed on their first try. Harry just smiled at Tom when he saw how his kitten tried to cheer him up. He hadn’t really noticed how Sirius and Remus had taken him in a hug after those words or how they made their way up to Hogwarts. He was numb to it all. He couldn’t quite grasp what was happening; only the fact that he had to leave Hogwarts behind him and maybe that he would most likely not come back here. If Sirius and Remus had their say in this matter then he would never return to this place. Even though it was like a home he never had. But that was when he came here the first time in his life. Hogwarts had felt like home. But now it was like a prison to him with Albus Dumbledore there to watch his every step and stalk him.
Harry only came back to awareness when they had entered Hogwarts and were making their way up to the Headmaster’s office. Harry gulped and clutched Tom tightly to himself. Not wanting to go up there and talk with that old man. As they had reached the gargoyle on front of the Headmaster’s office Sirius was the one that supplied them with the password.
“Langue de chat!”
Harry grimaced when he heard that and clutched Tom tight to his chest. As if he was going to vanish should he let go and Tom actually looked green when heard that. It was really not words for cat and kitten lovers. Voldemort was glaring at the gargoyle and hoped that it would burst into flames for this. The three, four if you want to be finical, stepped on the first step and let them brought up. Ah what service that is right? When the steps stopped at the door Remus opened the door and Sirius went in first. No way in hell would he let Harry go in first in this office with the old coot waiting there for him. Who knows what could happen till he had entered? Harry was second to come in and Remus the last one. Making sure that no one was there that could disturb them or ambush them.
Voldemort was looking around the office and had to say it had changed much from all those years ago. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that Dippet was not anymore the Headmaster and Dumbledore had taken over. Because he was sure that Dippet hadn’t that much knickknack in his office and he sure as hell did not have a little bowl full of lemon drops on his desk. As far as he knew, the man had hated that Muggle candy above all else. He shuddered when he saw something pink glowing behind the Headmaster’s desk. Yes, this was definitive not Armando Dippet’s office. Too much had change in there for it to be that anymore, he supposed. Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk with a small smile in his face and that damn grandfatherly expression on his face. And of course, that damn twinkle in his eyes.
Harry had come to call it the twinkle of doom every time he saw it.
Voldemort would love to do nothing more than to go and whip that grin off of his face. But he was supposed to be a kitten. He was just a harmless, little kitten that has no such thoughts, even though they were the Dark Lord. His tail twitched at that thought and the picture would make, should he really do so in this form. It was quite hilarious to him. But before he could get a chance to jump at the Headmaster he felt how was lowered. But not by being set down on the ground. No, he was lowered in Harry’s lap as the latter was now sitting with Sirius and Remus standing to his right and left.
“Headmaster, we want to withdraw Harry from Hogwarts” Remus voice said with a neutral tone.
If Dumbledore was shocked by those words he wasn’t showing it. But the twinkle that was in his eyes had left them now. That was not a good sign for them. That much was clear to them all. Harry minded any eye contact with the Headmaster at all cost. He did not want the man in his head at all. Voldemort on the other hand was glaring openly at the Headmaster while cuddling with Potter. ... Yes, you have read right, cuddling. He finally admitted that he liked to cuddle with Potter. But that was only to show that Potter was his to kill, of course. Really, it only meant that. There were no stronger feelings to that. He was just marking Potter as his... to kill.
“Ah, and may I ask why you want to pull Harry out?” Albus asked his twinkle back again with full force.
“It’s Mister Potter to you, Headmaster” Harry told him. “You never had the right to call me by my first name”
“I apologize, Mister Potter” Albus said with a grimace. “But what is the reason why you want to pull Harry out of school?”
Remus and Sirius were glancing at each other. Did the old man not notice that this was none of his business? If it had been then they would have told him that. But it seemed that he needs to hear their reason. Sirius shrugged lightly not showing the slightest of care, if the Headmaster should know or not. Remus sighed and shook his head at his old friend’s behaviour. Harry just watched them while petting Tom. It made him feel calmer as he really was and it gave him a feeling of security. He didn’t really know why, nor did he want to question it now.
“You may not, Albus” Remus began to tell him in an icy tone. “This is a family matter and you do not need to know about it”
“But surely you want me to tell his friends why he left in the first place?” Albus said with a smile. “After all we do not want them to worry about their friend”
Remus growled and his amber eyes flashed in anger. What friends was he talking about? If it were Hermione and Luna then they did not need to worry. Those two always knew what was with Harry, wither be it he told them or not. They always found out. Moony was getting angry with the human that dared to hurt and try to imprison his cub. He was not pleased with this Dumbledore-character. Not one but was he pleased with him. He was just rubbing off on him in the wrong way.
“His friends already know about this” it was a lie but Bumbles didn’t need to know this, now did he? “We have told them before we came here. Though there is no worry about them not knowing”
“Oh really now?” Remus gritted his teeth at the tone Dumbledore used on them.
“Yes, Headmaster really. Hermione was shocked when she had heard about this but she wanted me to write to her or she would send me Howler” Harry grimaced at the mention of a Howler. No doubt he was remembering his second year when Misses Weasely had sent Ron and him one. “Luna, even threatened to tell the whole school some embarrassing things that have happened to me in the last school year”
“Now that this is cleared and if it is all” Sirius said with a growl. “We will take our leave now”
“If you would please excuse us, Headmaster, we have other business to take care of today. We have to leave now” Remus said through gritted teeth but still sounding polite.
“Ah, of course, Remus, I wish you all three a good day” that twinkle in his eyes was getting brighter now and none of the four in the room liked it.
Remus bit back a remark about the ‘my boy’ thing and that it was Lupin to him. But he didn’t want to be longer in one room with Dumbledore than it was necessary for them. Besides he got the feeling as if Harry wished he was somewhere else than in the Headmaster’s office right now. Sirius glared openly at the Headmaster and growled again while was lying a calming hand on Harry’s shoulder. The latter was grateful for this act and smiled slightly at this godfather.
“Good-bye, Headmaster” Remus said and showed with those words that the ‘discussion’ was over and done with now.
“Come on, pup. The sooner we leave, the sooner we are home and can plan some pranks for the old goat” whispered Sirius to Harry who smiled slightly.
Harry sighed in relief at hearing those words and of course he couldn’t help but smile at hearing Sirius’ words. He didn’t really want to stay in the office longer than necessary. Voldemort was still glaring Dumbledore while Harry began to stand up and move to the door with Sirius in the front and Remus behind them. Voldemort had meanwhile climbed on his shoulder and was watching the Headmaster. Dumbledore on the other hand could only watch as the three and one animal left his office. But he had to say the kitten that Harry had somehow gave him the chills. Maybe it was the way it was watching him and throwing glares at him. He wasn’t so sure about it. But he got the feeling that this cat was not normal.
But maybe it was the fact that a kitten should not glare at someone with such an intense that you want to crawl into a hole and hide there. He even got the feeling as if he should know this kitten. But from where should he know this kitten? He was sure that this was the first time that he saw a kitten like this. The most chilling about the kitten were its eyes. Those red eyes that reminded him of a certain Dark Lord that wanted to make sure his side of the war lost. The last thing that Dumbledore saw of his three guests was their backs and with a soft click the door to his office locked.
“Curious, most curious indeed” he mumbled to himself.
Fawkes who had been sitting all that time on his perch next to the Headmaster was throwing a sad and longing look at the door. His favourite person was leaving him and he would most likely not see him again anytime soon. He thrilled a sad melody but could do nothing to stop this from happening. He had of course recognized who that little kitten in Harry’s arms was. But he would not go and tell that the Headmaster, even though he was sworn to help any Headmaster that did not mean that he would go against the will Hogwarts herself. He knew that the castle would do anything to protect her favourite and when it meant to keep silent about the fact that he had the Dark Lord in his arms as kitten, then so be it.
~Gryffindor Dorms~
Meanwhile, Harry was sitting on his bed in the Gryffindor dorms while Remus and Sirius were packing for him. Well, it wasn’t much that they had to pack anyways when you think about the fact that it had been only three weeks since school started. Harry didn’t really had time to unpack with most of his time trying to hide from Malfoy and doing his homework and protecting Luna from her bullies. But nevertheless they packed the things away that belonged to Harry. Voldemort was sitting comfortable in Potter’s lap and watching Black and Lupin pack Potter’s things away. His tail was curled around him and he mewed from time to time when Ha- Potter stopped petting him.
It was actually funny to watch them try to pack Potter’s things away. Black would just throw everything carelessly in the trunk of Potter and Lupin would take it out again and fold and put them then away neatly. He snickered under his breath what more sounding like mewing or hissing. Harry just smiled at their antics.
“It’s interesting to watch them right, Tom?” Harry asked quietly his kitten while stopping his petting for Tom.
Tom just mewed at him and began to purr loudly while head butting Harry’s hand. Harry looked down at his kitten and snickered when he saw the glare that was thrown at him for stopping his petting. He just snickered and stroke one of Tom’s ears.
“So easy to rile you up” he murmured and looked up when he heard Remus yell.
“SIRIUS! PUT THE TOAD DOWN!”
“But Moony! I think I could use it for a prank!”
“No, Padfoot and that is final! We are here to pack and then leave and not to go and steal someone’s pet!”
“But Moony! Can’t I ju-”
“No, Padfoot, just no!” was the flat answer to that.
“Fine! Destroy all the fun that I have, don’t you?” came the sulkily reply from Sirius.
Harry snickered when he saw Sirius pouting at Remus when he took again Harry’s clothes out of the trunk that Sirius had thrown before said person saw a toad and decided he had to have it. Remus sighed and wondered how he became friends with a five year old again. Remus twitched when Harry’s clothes came now flying at him instead of the trunk.
“Sirius!” Remus said when more clothes were thrown at him instead of the trunk.
“Yes, Moony?”
“Stop throwing Harry’s clothes like that in the trunk or at me! There won’t be enough space for the rest of his things!” Remus said with his hands on his hips. “And don’t even think about it!”
“...Yes, Moony”
It made Harry laugh when he saw Sirius look at Remus like a kicked puppy. Remus sighed in frustration at that look and only glared at his friend. Said friend shrank back from that look and whimpered. Harry tried to smoother his laughter in his hand but it was not working for him. Voldemort, if he could as kitten, was smirking at the mutt that was now looking dejected to the ground. Remus tried, and was succeeding, in ignoring him and continued to pack for Harry his trunk. Voldemort was, still if you must know, sitting contently in the lap of his enemy with his tail swishing forth and back while being petted. Sirius was back to his old self in a matter of seconds and stuck his tongue out to Remus. The latter having his back turned though he could not see it.
Remus just shook his head while he packed Harry’s trunk. He could already guess what Sirius was doing right now. And he would bet a thousand galleons that it had something to do with his tongue.
“Padfoot, take your tongue back into your mouth and help me pack here”
Sirius froze when he heard that. “How did you know!” he yelled loudly while watching around the room and trying to find something that could have helped Remus with this.
Harry was laughing at his godfather and Remus just shook his head in amusement. Same old Sirius, you could always get him with something like this. Besides it was not that hard to guess when you knew Sirius as long as Remus did.
“I am a Seer, Padfoot” he said in a serious voice while turning around to face Sirius.
“... Now you are kidding me”
“Are you sure about this?”
“Yeah, I am sure!” he said while glaring at his now laughing friend.
“Sirius you are so easy to read sometimes” Remus told him and went back to packing.
“But really now, Moony” he began while throwing clothes again. “How did you know?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know?” came the smug responds. It made Harry break out with laughter at hearing Remus and Sirius argue like that. “Now pack!”
“Yes, Sir Mister Mooney, sir!” Sirius said with a mock salute and darted around the room and throwing clothes to Remus that belonged to Harry.
It had taken only half an hour till Harry’s trunk was packed and ready to be sending to Grummauld Place. Harry sighed and looked one last time around the dorm with, what could be a mournful look. Voldemort on the other hand was damn happy to leave the dorm! Hell, there was just too much red and gold in there for his taste. He got the feeling as if he was colour blind now or totally blind. He wasn’t so sure about that one. Sirius looked at Harry when he called Kreacher to him and instructed him to take the trunk to Harry’s room in Grimmauld Place. He saw the sadness in those eyes and went to hug his godson.
Sirius knew that it must be hard on Harry to leave now the school he considered his first real home. But he could do nothing against this. Harry would be safer at Grimmauld Place than here with the Headmaster. The Headmaster that could very well get to Harry at any time possible, it was something that he would not like to risk after what he had heard. Remus had agreed with him on that one and together they had immediately went to see Harry to see if he was still alright and then bring him home to Grimmauld Place. Harry closed his eyes when he felt Sirius pull him into a hug and began to tremble a bit. Tom still clutched tightly to him.
“Come on, pup” Sirius whispered to him. “We have to leave now. Remus and I explain later to you why you had to leave so suddenly”
Harry just nodded and let himself lead away from the dorms and out of the portrait. Voldemort just watched them and narrowed his eyes when he thought that he saw someone. No, not thought. He was sure that he saw someone hiding in a corner and was watching them. When he saw right then it was a red head. But before he could actually get a good look and see who the red head was Harry moved again. He scowled at that but didn’t try anything else. Remus and Sirius were making sure that no student was out to see how their Saviour was leaving the school. It would do no good should there be a crowd of people to see them leave. Harry just walked through the halls while letting his thoughts drift away. To a topic he would rather not think about but it was better than to think about what was currently going on.
Since the beginning of his sixth year in Hogwarts Voldemort had been surprisingly silent. No Death Eaters raids, no Azkaban break out and no visions from him too. Hell, there wasn’t even a little headache for Harry to feel when Voldemort was angry at something or about Crucio or Avada Kedavra someone. It made him feel uneasy but at the same time it gave him a break. He began to pet Tom again while walking down the moving staircase and laughed when Sirius landed somewhere else. Remus was standing a good floor above Harry and was tapping his foot impatiently at the staircase and growled when it didn’t come again to him when it moved. Sirius on the other hand was enjoying that little game of the staircases. He even jumped up and down on one of them when they brought him to his goal. He pouted at that and sulked while waiting for Remus.
After they finally were a whole group again, did they continue their way to the entrance of Hogwarts. They made their way to the entrance of Hogwarts and then took the path down to Hogsmeade. It was silent while they walked down the path. Harry was lost in thoughts about his sixth year and what he could have done in it here with Luna and Hermione. But now he would never get the chance to find out about it. Whatever it was that had made Sirius and Remus pull him out of Hogwarts would pay for this. He had already some good pranks thought of for heir dear Headmaster. But now he would never see how he would react to them. Hermione was now alone in the Gryffindor Tower without him there and Luna would be again bullied, just because he wasn’t there to stop it. He sighed quietly at that and let his gaze wander to the sky.
He noted how the sun was slowly going under but didn’t really care about it. By now Hermione and Luna must have noticed that he was not in Hogwarts anymore. While Harry let himself being lead away from Hogwarts and nearly fell on his face because of Sirius thinking it would be funny to trap him. Well, at least he got revenge in form of Tom who didn’t like it to be woken up by Harry nearly falling on him. Thus Sirius first had to calm a furious kitten down before he scratched him to death. After that interesting fight between his kitten and god father, he began to watch the sky again. He watched how owls flew in the sky and in the direction of Hogwarts. No doubt post for the students there from their parents or something other he did not care about. Voldemort was just lazing in the arms of Potter and let his eyes roam around Hogsmeade. It hadn’t changed that much since he went to school. Maybe a few more shops but that was it. He narrowed his eyes when he saw a black cloaked figure in an alley. Somehow it felt as if he knew who it was but who could it be?
Before he could study the figure more were they gone. He hissed under his breath and narrowed his eyes at the alley, trying to catch a good look into the alley but no such luck. Meanwhile Harry came out of his thoughts when he felt two hands touch his shoulder. He looked up at Remus and Sirius who gave him a small smile each and then Apparate away with him in tow and with a loud crack away from Hogsmeade.
~Grimmauld Place~
They arrived in Grimmauld Place with a second loud crack and Harry nearly fell to the ground. He was caught by Sirius before that could happen. But Voldemort had no such luck. He fell to the ground and landed on his paws. `Huh? What do you know? Cat always do land on their feet even after they Apparate and Disapparet´ was his thought to that and then took off before anyone could get their hands on him. He had a bed to claim and sleep on. Thanks to the mutt he couldn’t take the nap he had wanted to that time. Being kitten made him always so sleepy and sometimes energized when he last expected it.
“Come on, pup, we have much to discuss” Sirius told him while making his way over into the kitchen.
“Damn right we have” Harry said with a scowl.
“Way to say it to him, Sirius” muttered Remus under his breath.
Remus just sighed and followed Sirius into the kitchen. Harry was hot on his heels. In the kitchen Harry took a seat directly in front of Sirius while Remus sat to Sirius right. Harry waited for one of them to begin to talk but was met with silence.
“Well!” he snapped after five minutes of silence. “Why did I have to come here?”
Sirius sighed and threw a glance at Remus. Silently asking who should tell Harry about this.
“Harry” Sirius started while looking him dead in the eye and with a straight face. “You weren’t safe at Hogwarts anymore. The Headmaster had planned something for you after what had happened last year. Do you remember the letter you told me about from Hermione?”
Harry nodded at Sirius when he heard this. He frowned and was asking himself what that had to do with the Headmaster.
“Harry, Dumbledore wanted to throw you into Azkaban at the end of your sixth year” Sirius told him.
“What!” he yelled while standing up and throwing the chair over while doing so. “Why the hell would he do that? I thought he needs me”
“We thoughts so too, cub” Remus told him. “But it seems that he told the Ministry how you were going dark and only he would have the power to kill Voldemort”
“But this doesn’t stop there, pup”
“What else, Padfoot?” he whispered out.
This man was destroying his life... again! Why could he not leave him be? What had he done to deserve this? Didn’t the old man had enough entertainment with sending him to his Muggle relatives and let him suffer there? Why did he have to continue this on? Harry didn’t understand what the Headmaster was playing at and would most likely never understand it. But really, wasn’t it enough that he already had to fight Voldemort even though he didn’t want to. But before he could think more about it, Remus talked again.
“Harry, Dumbledore had planned before that to rob you off your magic and somehow transfer it to himself”
Harry was shocked at hearing these words. He knew that Dumbledore had something bad planned for him. But that it was to such an extinct he had not known. He couldn’t even grasp this thought. Stealing someone’s magic and then adding it to someone’s own. Harry knew what happened to those people that were drained of their magic against their will or had it stolen. Most people died because of this; either it was the thief or the victim. Their magic had held them alive for so long and it was used so often that the body could not work without anymore because something was missing. It was like an organ that is very important to the body. Like the kidneys, the heart, lungs and brain. He could remember how he had read about that in one of the books in Sirius’ library. If he remembered correctly then that meant that stealing ones magic to use it as its own, was forbidden and can, will be, punished with the Kiss.
The way the magic was being stolen was brutal. It will feel like you are torn apart and shred into tiny bits and pieces that then cannot be puzzled together again, only for this to happen again, again and again. This would go on till the magic had left its one host and then wandered over to the one that wanted to use the magic or could not reach the one stealing. It was killing the thief because they had used so much magic to summon the other ones magic. When the magic begins to leave the body the heart would stop to beat for a short time. And this short time would it all be to take and kill one. Because of the fact that the magic that was leaving the body against its will was doing this. It will try to claw at its host and not leave the body that it had been with all those years. Clawing at everything it can find and that was most of the time organs. Thus the stopping of the heart can be deadly because the magic is clawing at the heart then and squeezing it so much that it explodes in the body.
That is why one will feel this pain. It is the magic trying to stay in their body. It is not recorded if someone, that had their magic stolen, had ever lived through this ritual. But if they did then they would live a life in miserable and pain.
Harry shuddered at that thought. It was certainly something he did not want to feel at all happening to him.
“Harry, we know that this hits you hard and you need time think” Sirius bit his lip, not really knowing what to say in this moment. “Why don’t you go upstairs? Remus and I will have to talk with some old friends”
“I think I will do just that...” he said with a blank face.
“Goodnight, cub, see you tomorrow” Remus said to him while giving him a hug.
“Yeah, I see you guys tomorrow”
Harry just nodded not really wanting to talk right now and made his way out of the kitchen. Maybe some sleep will do him some good? He wasn’t so sure about it. But it sounded nice right now. With a heavy sigh he began to climb the stairs and then went along the floor to his room. He blinked when he saw that his door was a bit ajar. Cautiously he made his way into his room and blinked when he saw Tom lying on his bed. And was Tom... snoring? Harry chuckled weakly when he heard that and made his way over to his bed. Not really caring that he still wore his school robes and fell asleep. Tom woke up when he felt the bed dip and opened one eye lazily. When he saw Harry lying down next to him still with his clothes on him he blinked with both eyes now wide open. He stretched his body and then began to walk over to Potter.
Voldemort looked down on the sleeping face of Potter and saw a troubled expression on his face. He wondered what had happened to the boy that he was this much trouble. He mewed at the boy and began to rub his head against Potter’s cheek. He was feeling through their link when Potter relaxed. Harry sighed in content in his sleep and then curled up into a ball, snuggling into his sheets. Voldemort just stared at the boy and then laid himself down again. He needed sleep now and Potter would not hinder him to get it. He curled into a white fluff ball on the big pillow next to Potter’s head and then fell asleep.
~Kitchen~
Sirius and Remus glanced at each other when the door closed. They knew that this really hit Harry hard and he would most likely not act normal around them for a time being. Sirius turned his head to the window to his left and looked outside. He had no idea how he could help his godson right now. It was something he had never encountered in his life. Hell, he even doubted that Remus had. Even though he was a supposed ‘Dark Creature’ like the Ministry says. He sighed tiredly and tried to think of something, anything that could help them in their situation. But nothing came to his mind.
“Sirius, what do you think will happen now?”
Sirius turned his head back to his friend and stared long and hard into his eyes. He really had no idea what could and would happen next, now that Harry was away from Dumbledore once more. He just sighed when he came up with nothing to ease his friend’s feeling and troubled mind.
“I have no idea, Moony. Anything could happen from now on”
“Do you think Dumbledore will try to take Harry away?” Remus asked after a short silence.
“I don’t think so because I know for a fact that he will do this, Remus”
Again silence was in the room. Both men were deep in thought about the latest events that have happened. Remus was frowning about that fact. But how could Albus do something when he was sure that there was no way for him to get his hands on Harry. He was neither his magical nor his Muggle guardian. That meant that he had no say in Harry’s life whatsoever. But if he knew the old coot like he did. Then he had most likely friends in higher places that would willingly help him to get his hands on Harry again. That was something he did not look forward to face. His brow furrowed when he thought about it. When Dumbledore really had so many friends in higher places, like he thought he did, then why did he not use them to get to Harry earlier? Though he could train Harry and brainwash him early on. Why not use them and destroy Harry’s reputation before he could gain allies? It’s just didn’t make sense.
But maybe, just maybe, Dumbledore thought that he had and would have Harry always under his watching eye. Maybe he did not count on the fact that the puppet would break free someday from its puppeteer. Maybe he thought Harry would always be this thankful to him for taking him away from the Dursleys and showing him guidance like no one other had done for him when he entered the magical word. Maybe it never crossed his mind that there would be people out there that hated him that much that they wanted to show Harry his true colours. Maybe he did not count on the fact that the goblins would look right through him and tell Harry everything he needed to know about him. Or maybe he was just looking too much into this. He didn’t really know anymore. It was so many possibilities. None of them could be true or they could be right. It was just too confusing for him right now.
Sirius on the other hand was thinking of people that he could ask that were willingly to help him in this matter. He knew that the Longbottoms would be a great help. But Alice and Frank were out of the count. Neville was too young to ask for help. That only left his Grandmother. But she didn’t trust him enough to hear him out. She still thought that he was the one that betrayed the Potters even though he was spoken innocent and given a trail. He sighed at that. Of course then there were the Lovegoods. But they did not hold enough power in the Ministry like the Longbottoms did. Of course the Malfoys were out of the question. He hated them even though he was related to them. Besides he was pretty sure that he feeling was mutual. That left him with only one option. Something he dreaded to think about, let alone ask that someone for help.
Sirius sighed loudly. It was his only option now and he knew that this certain someone could help him. But the only question was now. Would they help him with this matter? He knew that they would not help him because of a kind heart. It was far from it. They would only help him if it was for getting special favours of the family that asked for help or their benefit in the Ministry or anywhere with politics or if they would find some amusement in this. He could only hope that it was the last one and not the first one. He knew what it was like when they find something that they could use.
“Remus, I know someone that could help us...” he trailed off, uncertain how to tell his friend.
Remus perked up at hearing this. Sirius knew someone that could help them? It let his hopes rise again at hearing these words. But somehow he got the feeling as if Sirius would rather not have them to ask for help. He could only wonder why though.
“Really, Sirius? Who is that someone?” his voice was full with hope.
Sirius smiled grimly at his friend. He couldn’t say no to his decision now. The hope in his friend’s voice prevented him from doing so.
“Yes, I do” he began and bit his lip. How to tell his friend? “This someone, I think, will most likely help us. But...”
“But?” he asked. What was Sirius not tell him?
“They would most likely want something back from us. And it will not be money or heirlooms”
It was, at hearing those words falling from his friends lips, that Remus dawned what that could possibly mean for them. The only thing he could hope was that, whoever this certain someone is, that Sirius is thinking off will not take Harry from them. Or want any favours that have something to do with Harry. He could not live with himself should that be the case.
“Moony, we can only hope that they will help us because it is for their own amusement or benefit and not just because they think they can get a favour out of the family.” Sirius said in a grave voice.
“I hope you are right about this, Padfoot” he whispered while his eyes were showing sadness in them when thinking of what the person could want.
“Don’t worry Moony! We will manage this somehow!” he told Remus with a grin. “I think they will do this for amusement”
“Why do you think so?” he asked curious.
A sly grin was making its way on Sirius face. Maybe this person would help them without option one.
“Because they hate Dumbles as much as we do! Maybe they even hate him more than the Dark Lord does!”
That answer was surprising Remus and his face was showing it. Sirius chuckled at his friends and patted him on the back. Someone was out there that had a stronger hatred for the Headmaster than the Dark Lord? Was that even possible? Maybe everything wasn’t lost as he had first thought.
“Time to make a call” was the last ting Remus heard before Sirius was gone.
“Padfoot! NO RUNNING IN THE HOUSE!” he yelled after his friend and shook his head in faintly amusement.
“NO WORRIES MOONY!”
CRASH
“IT WASN’T ME!!” Remus heard Sirius yell.
“Only you, Padfoot” he said with a laugh in his voice. “Only you”
~Somewhere~
A figure clad in black was sitting in front of a fire place. A glass nearly empty with wine was swirling in their left hand. Their right elbow was resting on the backrest of the armchair and was propping up the figures head. The figures eyes were a dark brown nearly black and were staring into the fire without a blink. The figure had shoulder length brown hair and full red lips, high cheekbones and had a nose that was petite. It was now seen that it was not a black robe but a long black dress that was bringing the, now identified, females pale skin out. The woman raised an elegant eyebrow when she saw the fire flash in a sickening green and a head of a person she well knew was coming out.
The man’s head was looking at her and waiting for her to give him a sign to talk. Even though that certain male was not a very patient person, he had to be it when he wanted to talk with her. The woman slowly let her hand the wine glass setting down on a table next to her and then spoke.
“Speak” it was said in a neutral tone. But her voice still sounded melodic when used.
“I need your help, Mistress Saiko” was the male’s voice reply with a bit hesitation in it.
“With what would you need help with, Black?”

Summary: “I am going to kill him for this! Being my second in command be damned!” thought a tiny little white kitten with scarlet eyes. But all those thoughts vanish when a certain green eyed boy begins to stroke him and he begins to purr loudly.

A/N: Love me? No, serious now. There isn’t much to say but that Harry is leaving Hogwarts for a time being.
Chapter 4
Leaving Hogwarts
“What?” Harry asked meekly.
“You heard me, pup” said Sirius with a serious expression.
“B-but why?”
“Bambi, I think it would be better if we go and talk somewhere more private” Remus said to him.
Harry just nodded numbly at those words. Not really hearing them. He was still in shock to hear those words. Voldemort was looking at his enemy with concern which he would deny later on vehemently. But he could feel the sadness in the boy through their link and he hated it. He rather had a happy Potter than a sad one. It was giving him a headache to feel all those feeling through their link. Not even Occlumency was helping him in this matter. He would know. He had tried it in the last three weeks. But every time he thought he had shield himself the barriers around his mind would break and let him feel Potter again. He began to rub himself against Potter to get his attention and was not surprised when he saw a small smile making its way slowly on Potter’s face. He could still feel the sadness in the boy but it was not as much as it was before.
Well, at least it was something. Not everyone can be that great about something like this and succeed on their first try. Harry just smiled at Tom when he saw how his kitten tried to cheer him up. He hadn’t really noticed how Sirius and Remus had taken him in a hug after those words or how they made their way up to Hogwarts. He was numb to it all. He couldn’t quite grasp what was happening; only the fact that he had to leave Hogwarts behind him and maybe that he would most likely not come back here. If Sirius and Remus had their say in this matter then he would never return to this place. Even though it was like a home he never had. But that was when he came here the first time in his life. Hogwarts had felt like home. But now it was like a prison to him with Albus Dumbledore there to watch his every step and stalk him.
Harry only came back to awareness when they had entered Hogwarts and were making their way up to the Headmaster’s office. Harry gulped and clutched Tom tightly to himself. Not wanting to go up there and talk with that old man. As they had reached the gargoyle on front of the Headmaster’s office Sirius was the one that supplied them with the password.
“Langue de chat!”
Harry grimaced when he heard that and clutched Tom tight to his chest. As if he was going to vanish should he let go and Tom actually looked green when heard that. It was really not words for cat and kitten lovers. Voldemort was glaring at the gargoyle and hoped that it would burst into flames for this. The three, four if you want to be finical, stepped on the first step and let them brought up. Ah what service that is right? When the steps stopped at the door Remus opened the door and Sirius went in first. No way in hell would he let Harry go in first in this office with the old coot waiting there for him. Who knows what could happen till he had entered? Harry was second to come in and Remus the last one. Making sure that no one was there that could disturb them or ambush them.
Voldemort was looking around the office and had to say it had changed much from all those years ago. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that Dippet was not anymore the Headmaster and Dumbledore had taken over. Because he was sure that Dippet hadn’t that much knickknack in his office and he sure as hell did not have a little bowl full of lemon drops on his desk. As far as he knew, the man had hated that Muggle candy above all else. He shuddered when he saw something pink glowing behind the Headmaster’s desk. Yes, this was definitive not Armando Dippet’s office. Too much had change in there for it to be that anymore, he supposed. Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk with a small smile in his face and that damn grandfatherly expression on his face. And of course, that damn twinkle in his eyes.
Harry had come to call it the twinkle of doom every time he saw it.
Voldemort would love to do nothing more than to go and whip that grin off of his face. But he was supposed to be a kitten. He was just a harmless, little kitten that has no such thoughts, even though they were the Dark Lord. His tail twitched at that thought and the picture would make, should he really do so in this form. It was quite hilarious to him. But before he could get a chance to jump at the Headmaster he felt how was lowered. But not by being set down on the ground. No, he was lowered in Harry’s lap as the latter was now sitting with Sirius and Remus standing to his right and left.
“Headmaster, we want to withdraw Harry from Hogwarts” Remus voice said with a neutral tone.
If Dumbledore was shocked by those words he wasn’t showing it. But the twinkle that was in his eyes had left them now. That was not a good sign for them. That much was clear to them all. Harry minded any eye contact with the Headmaster at all cost. He did not want the man in his head at all. Voldemort on the other hand was glaring openly at the Headmaster while cuddling with Potter. ... Yes, you have read right, cuddling. He finally admitted that he liked to cuddle with Potter. But that was only to show that Potter was his to kill, of course. Really, it only meant that. There were no stronger feelings to that. He was just marking Potter as his... to kill.
“Ah, and may I ask why you want to pull Harry out?” Albus asked his twinkle back again with full force.
“It’s Mister Potter to you, Headmaster” Harry told him. “You never had the right to call me by my first name”
“I apologize, Mister Potter” Albus said with a grimace. “But what is the reason why you want to pull Harry out of school?”
Remus and Sirius were glancing at each other. Did the old man not notice that this was none of his business? If it had been then they would have told him that. But it seemed that he needs to hear their reason. Sirius shrugged lightly not showing the slightest of care, if the Headmaster should know or not. Remus sighed and shook his head at his old friend’s behaviour. Harry just watched them while petting Tom. It made him feel calmer as he really was and it gave him a feeling of security. He didn’t really know why, nor did he want to question it now.
“You may not, Albus” Remus began to tell him in an icy tone. “This is a family matter and you do not need to know about it”
“But surely you want me to tell his friends why he left in the first place?” Albus said with a smile. “After all we do not want them to worry about their friend”
Remus growled and his amber eyes flashed in anger. What friends was he talking about? If it were Hermione and Luna then they did not need to worry. Those two always knew what was with Harry, wither be it he told them or not. They always found out. Moony was getting angry with the human that dared to hurt and try to imprison his cub. He was not pleased with this Dumbledore-character. Not one but was he pleased with him. He was just rubbing off on him in the wrong way.
“His friends already know about this” it was a lie but Bumbles didn’t need to know this, now did he? “We have told them before we came here. Though there is no worry about them not knowing”
“Oh really now?” Remus gritted his teeth at the tone Dumbledore used on them.
“Yes, Headmaster really. Hermione was shocked when she had heard about this but she wanted me to write to her or she would send me Howler” Harry grimaced at the mention of a Howler. No doubt he was remembering his second year when Misses Weasely had sent Ron and him one. “Luna, even threatened to tell the whole school some embarrassing things that have happened to me in the last school year”
“Now that this is cleared and if it is all” Sirius said with a growl. “We will take our leave now”
“If you would please excuse us, Headmaster, we have other business to take care of today. We have to leave now” Remus said through gritted teeth but still sounding polite.
“Ah, of course, Remus, I wish you all three a good day” that twinkle in his eyes was getting brighter now and none of the four in the room liked it.
Remus bit back a remark about the ‘my boy’ thing and that it was Lupin to him. But he didn’t want to be longer in one room with Dumbledore than it was necessary for them. Besides he got the feeling as if Harry wished he was somewhere else than in the Headmaster’s office right now. Sirius glared openly at the Headmaster and growled again while was lying a calming hand on Harry’s shoulder. The latter was grateful for this act and smiled slightly at this godfather.
“Good-bye, Headmaster” Remus said and showed with those words that the ‘discussion’ was over and done with now.
“Come on, pup. The sooner we leave, the sooner we are home and can plan some pranks for the old goat” whispered Sirius to Harry who smiled slightly.
Harry sighed in relief at hearing those words and of course he couldn’t help but smile at hearing Sirius’ words. He didn’t really want to stay in the office longer than necessary. Voldemort was still glaring Dumbledore while Harry began to stand up and move to the door with Sirius in the front and Remus behind them. Voldemort had meanwhile climbed on his shoulder and was watching the Headmaster. Dumbledore on the other hand could only watch as the three and one animal left his office. But he had to say the kitten that Harry had somehow gave him the chills. Maybe it was the way it was watching him and throwing glares at him. He wasn’t so sure about it. But he got the feeling that this cat was not normal.
But maybe it was the fact that a kitten should not glare at someone with such an intense that you want to crawl into a hole and hide there. He even got the feeling as if he should know this kitten. But from where should he know this kitten? He was sure that this was the first time that he saw a kitten like this. The most chilling about the kitten were its eyes. Those red eyes that reminded him of a certain Dark Lord that wanted to make sure his side of the war lost. The last thing that Dumbledore saw of his three guests was their backs and with a soft click the door to his office locked.
“Curious, most curious indeed” he mumbled to himself.
Fawkes who had been sitting all that time on his perch next to the Headmaster was throwing a sad and longing look at the door. His favourite person was leaving him and he would most likely not see him again anytime soon. He thrilled a sad melody but could do nothing to stop this from happening. He had of course recognized who that little kitten in Harry’s arms was. But he would not go and tell that the Headmaster, even though he was sworn to help any Headmaster that did not mean that he would go against the will Hogwarts herself. He knew that the castle would do anything to protect her favourite and when it meant to keep silent about the fact that he had the Dark Lord in his arms as kitten, then so be it.
~Gryffindor Dorms~
Meanwhile, Harry was sitting on his bed in the Gryffindor dorms while Remus and Sirius were packing for him. Well, it wasn’t much that they had to pack anyways when you think about the fact that it had been only three weeks since school started. Harry didn’t really had time to unpack with most of his time trying to hide from Malfoy and doing his homework and protecting Luna from her bullies. But nevertheless they packed the things away that belonged to Harry. Voldemort was sitting comfortable in Potter’s lap and watching Black and Lupin pack Potter’s things away. His tail was curled around him and he mewed from time to time when Ha- Potter stopped petting him.
It was actually funny to watch them try to pack Potter’s things away. Black would just throw everything carelessly in the trunk of Potter and Lupin would take it out again and fold and put them then away neatly. He snickered under his breath what more sounding like mewing or hissing. Harry just smiled at their antics.
“It’s interesting to watch them right, Tom?” Harry asked quietly his kitten while stopping his petting for Tom.
Tom just mewed at him and began to purr loudly while head butting Harry’s hand. Harry looked down at his kitten and snickered when he saw the glare that was thrown at him for stopping his petting. He just snickered and stroke one of Tom’s ears.
“So easy to rile you up” he murmured and looked up when he heard Remus yell.
“SIRIUS! PUT THE TOAD DOWN!”
“But Moony! I think I could use it for a prank!”
“No, Padfoot and that is final! We are here to pack and then leave and not to go and steal someone’s pet!”
“But Moony! Can’t I ju-”
“No, Padfoot, just no!” was the flat answer to that.
“Fine! Destroy all the fun that I have, don’t you?” came the sulkily reply from Sirius.
Harry snickered when he saw Sirius pouting at Remus when he took again Harry’s clothes out of the trunk that Sirius had thrown before said person saw a toad and decided he had to have it. Remus sighed and wondered how he became friends with a five year old again. Remus twitched when Harry’s clothes came now flying at him instead of the trunk.
“Sirius!” Remus said when more clothes were thrown at him instead of the trunk.
“Yes, Moony?”
“Stop throwing Harry’s clothes like that in the trunk or at me! There won’t be enough space for the rest of his things!” Remus said with his hands on his hips. “And don’t even think about it!”
“...Yes, Moony”
It made Harry laugh when he saw Sirius look at Remus like a kicked puppy. Remus sighed in frustration at that look and only glared at his friend. Said friend shrank back from that look and whimpered. Harry tried to smoother his laughter in his hand but it was not working for him. Voldemort, if he could as kitten, was smirking at the mutt that was now looking dejected to the ground. Remus tried, and was succeeding, in ignoring him and continued to pack for Harry his trunk. Voldemort was, still if you must know, sitting contently in the lap of his enemy with his tail swishing forth and back while being petted. Sirius was back to his old self in a matter of seconds and stuck his tongue out to Remus. The latter having his back turned though he could not see it.
Remus just shook his head while he packed Harry’s trunk. He could already guess what Sirius was doing right now. And he would bet a thousand galleons that it had something to do with his tongue.
“Padfoot, take your tongue back into your mouth and help me pack here”
Sirius froze when he heard that. “How did you know!” he yelled loudly while watching around the room and trying to find something that could have helped Remus with this.
Harry was laughing at his godfather and Remus just shook his head in amusement. Same old Sirius, you could always get him with something like this. Besides it was not that hard to guess when you knew Sirius as long as Remus did.
“I am a Seer, Padfoot” he said in a serious voice while turning around to face Sirius.
“... Now you are kidding me”
“Are you sure about this?”
“Yeah, I am sure!” he said while glaring at his now laughing friend.
“Sirius you are so easy to read sometimes” Remus told him and went back to packing.
“But really now, Moony” he began while throwing clothes again. “How did you know?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know?” came the smug responds. It made Harry break out with laughter at hearing Remus and Sirius argue like that. “Now pack!”
“Yes, Sir Mister Mooney, sir!” Sirius said with a mock salute and darted around the room and throwing clothes to Remus that belonged to Harry.
It had taken only half an hour till Harry’s trunk was packed and ready to be sending to Grummauld Place. Harry sighed and looked one last time around the dorm with, what could be a mournful look. Voldemort on the other hand was damn happy to leave the dorm! Hell, there was just too much red and gold in there for his taste. He got the feeling as if he was colour blind now or totally blind. He wasn’t so sure about that one. Sirius looked at Harry when he called Kreacher to him and instructed him to take the trunk to Harry’s room in Grimmauld Place. He saw the sadness in those eyes and went to hug his godson.
Sirius knew that it must be hard on Harry to leave now the school he considered his first real home. But he could do nothing against this. Harry would be safer at Grimmauld Place than here with the Headmaster. The Headmaster that could very well get to Harry at any time possible, it was something that he would not like to risk after what he had heard. Remus had agreed with him on that one and together they had immediately went to see Harry to see if he was still alright and then bring him home to Grimmauld Place. Harry closed his eyes when he felt Sirius pull him into a hug and began to tremble a bit. Tom still clutched tightly to him.
“Come on, pup” Sirius whispered to him. “We have to leave now. Remus and I explain later to you why you had to leave so suddenly”
Harry just nodded and let himself lead away from the dorms and out of the portrait. Voldemort just watched them and narrowed his eyes when he thought that he saw someone. No, not thought. He was sure that he saw someone hiding in a corner and was watching them. When he saw right then it was a red head. But before he could actually get a good look and see who the red head was Harry moved again. He scowled at that but didn’t try anything else. Remus and Sirius were making sure that no student was out to see how their Saviour was leaving the school. It would do no good should there be a crowd of people to see them leave. Harry just walked through the halls while letting his thoughts drift away. To a topic he would rather not think about but it was better than to think about what was currently going on.
Since the beginning of his sixth year in Hogwarts Voldemort had been surprisingly silent. No Death Eaters raids, no Azkaban break out and no visions from him too. Hell, there wasn’t even a little headache for Harry to feel when Voldemort was angry at something or about Crucio or Avada Kedavra someone. It made him feel uneasy but at the same time it gave him a break. He began to pet Tom again while walking down the moving staircase and laughed when Sirius landed somewhere else. Remus was standing a good floor above Harry and was tapping his foot impatiently at the staircase and growled when it didn’t come again to him when it moved. Sirius on the other hand was enjoying that little game of the staircases. He even jumped up and down on one of them when they brought him to his goal. He pouted at that and sulked while waiting for Remus.
After they finally were a whole group again, did they continue their way to the entrance of Hogwarts. They made their way to the entrance of Hogwarts and then took the path down to Hogsmeade. It was silent while they walked down the path. Harry was lost in thoughts about his sixth year and what he could have done in it here with Luna and Hermione. But now he would never get the chance to find out about it. Whatever it was that had made Sirius and Remus pull him out of Hogwarts would pay for this. He had already some good pranks thought of for heir dear Headmaster. But now he would never see how he would react to them. Hermione was now alone in the Gryffindor Tower without him there and Luna would be again bullied, just because he wasn’t there to stop it. He sighed quietly at that and let his gaze wander to the sky.
He noted how the sun was slowly going under but didn’t really care about it. By now Hermione and Luna must have noticed that he was not in Hogwarts anymore. While Harry let himself being lead away from Hogwarts and nearly fell on his face because of Sirius thinking it would be funny to trap him. Well, at least he got revenge in form of Tom who didn’t like it to be woken up by Harry nearly falling on him. Thus Sirius first had to calm a furious kitten down before he scratched him to death. After that interesting fight between his kitten and god father, he began to watch the sky again. He watched how owls flew in the sky and in the direction of Hogwarts. No doubt post for the students there from their parents or something other he did not care about. Voldemort was just lazing in the arms of Potter and let his eyes roam around Hogsmeade. It hadn’t changed that much since he went to school. Maybe a few more shops but that was it. He narrowed his eyes when he saw a black cloaked figure in an alley. Somehow it felt as if he knew who it was but who could it be?
Before he could study the figure more were they gone. He hissed under his breath and narrowed his eyes at the alley, trying to catch a good look into the alley but no such luck. Meanwhile Harry came out of his thoughts when he felt two hands touch his shoulder. He looked up at Remus and Sirius who gave him a small smile each and then Apparate away with him in tow and with a loud crack away from Hogsmeade.
~Grimmauld Place~
They arrived in Grimmauld Place with a second loud crack and Harry nearly fell to the ground. He was caught by Sirius before that could happen. But Voldemort had no such luck. He fell to the ground and landed on his paws. `Huh? What do you know? Cat always do land on their feet even after they Apparate and Disapparet´ was his thought to that and then took off before anyone could get their hands on him. He had a bed to claim and sleep on. Thanks to the mutt he couldn’t take the nap he had wanted to that time. Being kitten made him always so sleepy and sometimes energized when he last expected it.
“Come on, pup, we have much to discuss” Sirius told him while making his way over into the kitchen.
“Damn right we have” Harry said with a scowl.
“Way to say it to him, Sirius” muttered Remus under his breath.
Remus just sighed and followed Sirius into the kitchen. Harry was hot on his heels. In the kitchen Harry took a seat directly in front of Sirius while Remus sat to Sirius right. Harry waited for one of them to begin to talk but was met with silence.
“Well!” he snapped after five minutes of silence. “Why did I have to come here?”
Sirius sighed and threw a glance at Remus. Silently asking who should tell Harry about this.
“Harry” Sirius started while looking him dead in the eye and with a straight face. “You weren’t safe at Hogwarts anymore. The Headmaster had planned something for you after what had happened last year. Do you remember the letter you told me about from Hermione?”
Harry nodded at Sirius when he heard this. He frowned and was asking himself what that had to do with the Headmaster.
“Harry, Dumbledore wanted to throw you into Azkaban at the end of your sixth year” Sirius told him.
“What!” he yelled while standing up and throwing the chair over while doing so. “Why the hell would he do that? I thought he needs me”
“We thoughts so too, cub” Remus told him. “But it seems that he told the Ministry how you were going dark and only he would have the power to kill Voldemort”
“But this doesn’t stop there, pup”
“What else, Padfoot?” he whispered out.
This man was destroying his life... again! Why could he not leave him be? What had he done to deserve this? Didn’t the old man had enough entertainment with sending him to his Muggle relatives and let him suffer there? Why did he have to continue this on? Harry didn’t understand what the Headmaster was playing at and would most likely never understand it. But really, wasn’t it enough that he already had to fight Voldemort even though he didn’t want to. But before he could think more about it, Remus talked again.
“Harry, Dumbledore had planned before that to rob you off your magic and somehow transfer it to himself”
Harry was shocked at hearing these words. He knew that Dumbledore had something bad planned for him. But that it was to such an extinct he had not known. He couldn’t even grasp this thought. Stealing someone’s magic and then adding it to someone’s own. Harry knew what happened to those people that were drained of their magic against their will or had it stolen. Most people died because of this; either it was the thief or the victim. Their magic had held them alive for so long and it was used so often that the body could not work without anymore because something was missing. It was like an organ that is very important to the body. Like the kidneys, the heart, lungs and brain. He could remember how he had read about that in one of the books in Sirius’ library. If he remembered correctly then that meant that stealing ones magic to use it as its own, was forbidden and can, will be, punished with the Kiss.
The way the magic was being stolen was brutal. It will feel like you are torn apart and shred into tiny bits and pieces that then cannot be puzzled together again, only for this to happen again, again and again. This would go on till the magic had left its one host and then wandered over to the one that wanted to use the magic or could not reach the one stealing. It was killing the thief because they had used so much magic to summon the other ones magic. When the magic begins to leave the body the heart would stop to beat for a short time. And this short time would it all be to take and kill one. Because of the fact that the magic that was leaving the body against its will was doing this. It will try to claw at its host and not leave the body that it had been with all those years. Clawing at everything it can find and that was most of the time organs. Thus the stopping of the heart can be deadly because the magic is clawing at the heart then and squeezing it so much that it explodes in the body.
That is why one will feel this pain. It is the magic trying to stay in their body. It is not recorded if someone, that had their magic stolen, had ever lived through this ritual. But if they did then they would live a life in miserable and pain.
Harry shuddered at that thought. It was certainly something he did not want to feel at all happening to him.
“Harry, we know that this hits you hard and you need time think” Sirius bit his lip, not really knowing what to say in this moment. “Why don’t you go upstairs? Remus and I will have to talk with some old friends”
“I think I will do just that...” he said with a blank face.
“Goodnight, cub, see you tomorrow” Remus said to him while giving him a hug.
“Yeah, I see you guys tomorrow”
Harry just nodded not really wanting to talk right now and made his way out of the kitchen. Maybe some sleep will do him some good? He wasn’t so sure about it. But it sounded nice right now. With a heavy sigh he began to climb the stairs and then went along the floor to his room. He blinked when he saw that his door was a bit ajar. Cautiously he made his way into his room and blinked when he saw Tom lying on his bed. And was Tom... snoring? Harry chuckled weakly when he heard that and made his way over to his bed. Not really caring that he still wore his school robes and fell asleep. Tom woke up when he felt the bed dip and opened one eye lazily. When he saw Harry lying down next to him still with his clothes on him he blinked with both eyes now wide open. He stretched his body and then began to walk over to Potter.
Voldemort looked down on the sleeping face of Potter and saw a troubled expression on his face. He wondered what had happened to the boy that he was this much trouble. He mewed at the boy and began to rub his head against Potter’s cheek. He was feeling through their link when Potter relaxed. Harry sighed in content in his sleep and then curled up into a ball, snuggling into his sheets. Voldemort just stared at the boy and then laid himself down again. He needed sleep now and Potter would not hinder him to get it. He curled into a white fluff ball on the big pillow next to Potter’s head and then fell asleep.
~Kitchen~
Sirius and Remus glanced at each other when the door closed. They knew that this really hit Harry hard and he would most likely not act normal around them for a time being. Sirius turned his head to the window to his left and looked outside. He had no idea how he could help his godson right now. It was something he had never encountered in his life. Hell, he even doubted that Remus had. Even though he was a supposed ‘Dark Creature’ like the Ministry says. He sighed tiredly and tried to think of something, anything that could help them in their situation. But nothing came to his mind.
“Sirius, what do you think will happen now?”
Sirius turned his head back to his friend and stared long and hard into his eyes. He really had no idea what could and would happen next, now that Harry was away from Dumbledore once more. He just sighed when he came up with nothing to ease his friend’s feeling and troubled mind.
“I have no idea, Moony. Anything could happen from now on”
“Do you think Dumbledore will try to take Harry away?” Remus asked after a short silence.
“I don’t think so because I know for a fact that he will do this, Remus”
Again silence was in the room. Both men were deep in thought about the latest events that have happened. Remus was frowning about that fact. But how could Albus do something when he was sure that there was no way for him to get his hands on Harry. He was neither his magical nor his Muggle guardian. That meant that he had no say in Harry’s life whatsoever. But if he knew the old coot like he did. Then he had most likely friends in higher places that would willingly help him to get his hands on Harry again. That was something he did not look forward to face. His brow furrowed when he thought about it. When Dumbledore really had so many friends in higher places, like he thought he did, then why did he not use them to get to Harry earlier? Though he could train Harry and brainwash him early on. Why not use them and destroy Harry’s reputation before he could gain allies? It’s just didn’t make sense.
But maybe, just maybe, Dumbledore thought that he had and would have Harry always under his watching eye. Maybe he did not count on the fact that the puppet would break free someday from its puppeteer. Maybe he thought Harry would always be this thankful to him for taking him away from the Dursleys and showing him guidance like no one other had done for him when he entered the magical word. Maybe it never crossed his mind that there would be people out there that hated him that much that they wanted to show Harry his true colours. Maybe he did not count on the fact that the goblins would look right through him and tell Harry everything he needed to know about him. Or maybe he was just looking too much into this. He didn’t really know anymore. It was so many possibilities. None of them could be true or they could be right. It was just too confusing for him right now.
Sirius on the other hand was thinking of people that he could ask that were willingly to help him in this matter. He knew that the Longbottoms would be a great help. But Alice and Frank were out of the count. Neville was too young to ask for help. That only left his Grandmother. But she didn’t trust him enough to hear him out. She still thought that he was the one that betrayed the Potters even though he was spoken innocent and given a trail. He sighed at that. Of course then there were the Lovegoods. But they did not hold enough power in the Ministry like the Longbottoms did. Of course the Malfoys were out of the question. He hated them even though he was related to them. Besides he was pretty sure that he feeling was mutual. That left him with only one option. Something he dreaded to think about, let alone ask that someone for help.
Sirius sighed loudly. It was his only option now and he knew that this certain someone could help him. But the only question was now. Would they help him with this matter? He knew that they would not help him because of a kind heart. It was far from it. They would only help him if it was for getting special favours of the family that asked for help or their benefit in the Ministry or anywhere with politics or if they would find some amusement in this. He could only hope that it was the last one and not the first one. He knew what it was like when they find something that they could use.
“Remus, I know someone that could help us...” he trailed off, uncertain how to tell his friend.
Remus perked up at hearing this. Sirius knew someone that could help them? It let his hopes rise again at hearing these words. But somehow he got the feeling as if Sirius would rather not have them to ask for help. He could only wonder why though.
“Really, Sirius? Who is that someone?” his voice was full with hope.
Sirius smiled grimly at his friend. He couldn’t say no to his decision now. The hope in his friend’s voice prevented him from doing so.
“Yes, I do” he began and bit his lip. How to tell his friend? “This someone, I think, will most likely help us. But...”
“But?” he asked. What was Sirius not tell him?
“They would most likely want something back from us. And it will not be money or heirlooms”
It was, at hearing those words falling from his friends lips, that Remus dawned what that could possibly mean for them. The only thing he could hope was that, whoever this certain someone is, that Sirius is thinking off will not take Harry from them. Or want any favours that have something to do with Harry. He could not live with himself should that be the case.
“Moony, we can only hope that they will help us because it is for their own amusement or benefit and not just because they think they can get a favour out of the family.” Sirius said in a grave voice.
“I hope you are right about this, Padfoot” he whispered while his eyes were showing sadness in them when thinking of what the person could want.
“Don’t worry Moony! We will manage this somehow!” he told Remus with a grin. “I think they will do this for amusement”
“Why do you think so?” he asked curious.
A sly grin was making its way on Sirius face. Maybe this person would help them without option one.
“Because they hate Dumbles as much as we do! Maybe they even hate him more than the Dark Lord does!”
That answer was surprising Remus and his face was showing it. Sirius chuckled at his friends and patted him on the back. Someone was out there that had a stronger hatred for the Headmaster than the Dark Lord? Was that even possible? Maybe everything wasn’t lost as he had first thought.
“Time to make a call” was the last ting Remus heard before Sirius was gone.
“Padfoot! NO RUNNING IN THE HOUSE!” he yelled after his friend and shook his head in faintly amusement.
“NO WORRIES MOONY!”
CRASH
“IT WASN’T ME!!” Remus heard Sirius yell.
“Only you, Padfoot” he said with a laugh in his voice. “Only you”
~Somewhere~
A figure clad in black was sitting in front of a fire place. A glass nearly empty with wine was swirling in their left hand. Their right elbow was resting on the backrest of the armchair and was propping up the figures head. The figures eyes were a dark brown nearly black and were staring into the fire without a blink. The figure had shoulder length brown hair and full red lips, high cheekbones and had a nose that was petite. It was now seen that it was not a black robe but a long black dress that was bringing the, now identified, females pale skin out. The woman raised an elegant eyebrow when she saw the fire flash in a sickening green and a head of a person she well knew was coming out.
The man’s head was looking at her and waiting for her to give him a sign to talk. Even though that certain male was not a very patient person, he had to be it when he wanted to talk with her. The woman slowly let her hand the wine glass setting down on a table next to her and then spoke.
“Speak” it was said in a neutral tone. But her voice still sounded melodic when used.
“I need your help, Mistress Saiko” was the male’s voice reply with a bit hesitation in it.
“With what would you need help with, Black?”
KM: MWAHHAHAHAHAHAH!!! FEAR ME!!!
Harry: You are evil...
KM: I know! grins
Lilly: Please read and review!
KM: Yeah! dances like turtle on crack
Tom: holds sign up What the hell? How does a turtle on crack dance anyways?
Harry: No idea...
KM: Someone told me here that I would need a beta! I know that I need one... but I think that the way I write it that the story gets its own touch to it! X3 back to dancing
