Chapter Twenty Three

“Meeting Remus”

Making my way into the castle I took a deep breath, inhaling all the familiar scents and getting used to the new scents. Walking around the castle I reacquainted myself and then left my nostalgic reverie and headed for the headmaster’s office intent on helping in anyway that I could. I was worried though I mean how could I help anyone.

“Ah Remus you made it, it’s good to see you again. How are things going with you?”

“Headmaster I am as well as can be expected. I am glad that you called I am willing to help in any way that I can.”

“Good, I fully expect you of all people to actually get through to Harry, we have all tried to settle any issues and apologize but it seems that Mr. Potter is intent on holding a grudge.”

“That doesn’t sound like Harry at all.”

“I assure you we have all made attempts at reconciliation to no avail and now I have been served with legal documents and have been officially charged for crimes against Mr. Potter. I have tried, the Weasly’s have tried even Hermione Granger has tried and it is has been all for naught as Harry refuses to listen to any of us. I am truly hoping that you could talk some sense into him. Make him see that we are truly apologetic and want to regain what was lost.”

“As I said earlier I will see what help I can give, what can you tell me about him. I mean he was in Azkaban for seven years he had to have changed, besides reaching maturity I am sure there have been many changes.”

“Yes the most notable is that Harry came into his inheritance, he has been keeping himself hidden behind glamour and for that I am thankful but I really wish he would accept our help a time like this it is always best to have your friends around you. I have placed him in his own set of quarters I will direct you to them.”

“Thank you Albus I will do my best.”

Following the directions Albus gave me I found myself outside his door nervous and yet excited about seeing my cub after all this time. Knocking on the portrait I waited a few minutes then knocked again.

“Yes how may I help...? Remus?”

“Harry it’s me cub, you have grown no longer a skinny boy.”

“Why are you here did that old bastard send for you?”

“Harry!”

“Why are you here Remus?”

“As your honorary godfather I wanted to see and spend time with you.”

“Does Albus really think that bringing you to Hogwarts will make me change my mind? That old fool really has become full of himself.”

“Harry, I have never heard you speak this way. What has caused such a drastic change in the boy I knew, the boy who had nothing but good and compassion for everyone?”

“He spent seven years locked away in hell, that boy you speak of grew up and realized that compassion is for fools and those who run to death and claim it is all for a good cause. That boy became the sacrifice to the greater good, offered up like last night’s freshly slaughtered lamb.”

“I won’t believe that, I know you better then most and I know that the old Harry is in there somewhere.”

“Past tense, you knew me and as I said before that Harry was sacrificed and sentenced with nothing but his own voice to claim his innocence. Where were you Remus, why didn’t you come help me, why didn’t you stand up for me?”

“After Sirus died I couldn’t function, he was my soul mate Harry, I couldn’t remain here with everything reminding me of him I had to go and find myself, and I had to heal. I am so sorry, I know that it’s too little too late and my apologies mean little to nothing but please understand, I wanted to die, when Sirus was in Azkaban I still felt our connection I was depressed and in pain all the time but I still felt him within me, when he fell through the veil that connection was severed and I wanted nothing more then to follow him. I traveled looking for anything to fill that hole, anything to stop the pain.”

“Did you?”

“Not totally, the hole still resides within me and I ache for him every day but each day I tell myself that I can find meaningful things to fill it.”

“Yes well I have what I need to fix my problems.”

“And what solution did you come up with?”

“Justice rightly deserved.”

“You mean revenge, don’t you? Albus told me about how you have brought charges against him.”

“Did he also tell you I’m the one who set Snape up to be investigated and have his qualifications pulled, is that why you’re here Remus because Dumbledore wants to use and manipulate you as well?”

“Harry?”

“Did he tell you that I’m innocent of everything they charged me with? Did he tell you that the reason why I was found guilty with not one person coming to my defense was because I refused to cooperate with what he wanted at that time? Did he tell you that he’s trying to keep me here, claiming that he’s my rightful guardian and that I have to complete my education then remain here as a professor? Has he told you anything except what he wants you to hear so that you willingly jump off a cliff with the rest of them? Seven years Remus do you think it was a vacation? Whose side are you on Remus?”

“Isn’t it all the same side, the side to end this war, to bring peace to the wizarding world? We are all trying to end this especially Dumbledore; he’s sacrificed his whole life doing the right thing.”

“Did he? How are those laws treating you these days are you working? Can you marry, have children, how hard has he tried to help you, or Sirus for that matter, how good was it to lock someone who just escaped being locked away up again, especially in a house not made to accept his kind. Dumbledore could have cleared Sirus from the beginning, he knew the truth and did nothing, and Sirus served his purpose so he became a liability. Did you know that if anything happened to my parents Sirus became my rightful guardian not Dumbledore? Did you know that I’m actually a blood heir to all four founders as well as my inheritance? I bet you had no idea that since Sirus was incapable of raising me that I was to be told of my inheritance before I matured into it and that any family I had living from that line would become my guardians and I was to be sent to them? Instead I grew up in a cupboard, a small little closet space for ten years of my life. I was beaten almost every day that I was there. I didn’t even know I had a real name except freak! I was a bloody house elf to my muggle family before I even knew what they were. To get the simplest things such as food and water or even a chance to go to the bathroom I would have to do the almost impossible on a daily basis and serve a family that held nothing but contempt and hate for me. I had no idea that magic existed till Hagrid came and got me Even my Hogwarts letter was addressed to Harrison James Potter cupboard under the stairs!”

“I’m sure that if you had ever told Dumbledore what was happening…”

“That’s just it I did, I begged him year after year to keep me here to send me with the Weasly’s anything but not to send me back to them for holidays and the summer and every year I was sent back. When I began my relationship with Malfoy we spent the first year in hiding afraid of what the reactions would be, then by accident we were found out and at first they forbade us to see each other till I convinced Dumbledore that they wanted to change sides their spies for the light now and once it was ascertained that they were being truthful about helping we were allowed to be together”

“What of your relationship now?”

“They can rot for all I care as I said justice is coming and it will be done, so again I ask what side are you on?”

“Why must I pick one or the other, why must you do this anyway? Please Harry let it go, we have bigger things to worry over.”

“Let it go! No one bothered to find the truth, no one defended me Remus, and no one stood up and said I don’t believe what’s being said. They all stood in the Wizengamot heard the charges and saw them take me away and none of them said anything in my defense. Do you know I was a fool in the beginning I kept telling myself they would come, at least Draco who claimed to love me beyond life itself, but no one came Remus the only people I saw were dementors and the guards who used me.”

“Harry?”

“That’s right the papers don’t know about that, no one does well except Snape and the prison doctor who treated me.”

“I don’t understand how does Snape know anything?”

“He had my medical file from Azkaban and in it I was treated several times for internal damage. He even threatened me with exposing the facts of my prison time. Again I doubt he has time to even consider doing anything but saving his own arse now.”

“Oh Harry, I didn’t know.”

“Didn’t know or didn’t care? You vanished and I get you had to mourn your mate, but don’t stand here now and preach to me about right and wrong There is no neutrality to be had here, no side lines, no wait and see.”

“And the dark lord, what of him?”

“Who cares? Until he specifically comes after me I could care less what he does. As far as I am concerned let them take each other out.”

“And what of the wizarding world are we the same in your mind?”

“There is only one thing in this place worth living for and it’s definitely not some stupid side in a war, I remain here for that reason otherwise let Dumbledore and Voldemort have at it, two fools fighting over the most inane reason.”

“What reason, what keeps you here then?”

“Until I know where you stand there is nothing else to say.”

“What Dumbledore did was wrong and is still wrong but I will not, I cannot just let it all hang. I have to do something I have to help where I can.”

“Then you’re a fool like the rest of them because you won’t see and admit that this world you’re saving and fighting for would destroy you and your kind within a heart beat, hell they are destroying your kind. Yet like a good dog that’s been kicked you’ll crawl back begging for affection, begging for a scrap of anything that says you’re accepted. So go ahead follow that pied piper all you want but a warning, stay out of my way.”

“Harry please, I know your angry, hurt and feel as if we deserve your fury, but please listen to what everyone is saying, we are all sorry, we made a mistake everyone makes them now and again but let us try to reconcile to make it up.”

“Sorry, a mistake. Seven years Remus, a mistake is blowing up a cauldron when you add the wrong ingredients; a mistake is breaking the family keepsake, a mistake is ruining someone’s day it’s not throwing someone in jail then leaving them there to rot. I bet if it hadn’t come out that Longbottom was the real traitor and murderer I would still be in Azkaban, I can honestly say that I would still be there right now if the truth hadn’t come out and they wouldn’t give two shit’s. I lost the most precious things to me in prison for a mistake. Nothing anyone does will make up for it, nothing!”

“Then why are you trying to exact revenge?”

“They deserve the same pain I suffered, they deserve to feel what I felt, and they deserve to feel as if there is nothing left to live for and want to die just to end all the pain. They deserve to know what it feels like to have their world ripped from them and have no one come to save them, no one to stand up for them. They deserve to pay and they will. Now if you’ll excuse me I have things to do.”

Leaving the room, I was so sad and disappointed, what had they done? The sweet compassionate child I had taught and spent time with was gone, no not gone betrayed and destroyed. The Harry that I saw tonight had so much pain and rage inside I could sense it and feel it radiating from him. They took that poor child and now stood a very vengeful man, a man on a mission, one that would end up doing more damage then the dark lord and honestly I would not blame him one bit, it was our fault he was what he was now we created this and I feared that nothing could change that. Heading to Dumbledore’s office I knew that I couldn’t get involved either way I couldn’t hurt either side and therefore I would be of no use to either.

“Remus you are back?”

“Yes.”

“Well?”

“He’s very angry and righteously so, he will not accept any type of reconciliation and in fact I would venture to say that you find some other way to make peace or defeat the dark lord because Harry won’t do anything about him.”

“What, he cannot ignore his destiny, he must destroy Voldemort it is what he was meant to do!”

“Is that all you care about this ridiculous war and fighting? What of Harry and the damage you did to him?”

“Mr. Lupine I assure you I most of all have been trying to reconcile with Harry but I have other concerns great ones at that.”

“Really then how did this happen in the first place, how did Harry become the one accused of treason and murder? And why wasn’t his welfare one of your major concerns. He told me you knew he was being abused at the Durselys and every summer you returned him to a home where he was hated and mistreated. How could you do that to someone you claim to care about?”

“The blood wards was the only protection available his mother sacrificed herself to protect Harry and there was no other place that contained that protection.”

“What protection Albus, I am sure that you have figured out by now the second Voldemort used Harry’s blood to reincarnate himself those wards failed. There were no wards, he could have walked in and got Harry at any time, he may have been protected from death eaters but not from the dark lord himself, so you willingly sent that child into abuse and scorn to what to satisfy some hidden agenda of your own? Harry told me that due to his inheritance he has other family, family that he should have been sent to the second Sirus was not able to be his guardian but yet I find out that you yourself are in place as his guardian, how did that happen Albus, how did you manage that?”

“Mr. Lupine honestly can you say that he does not need someone to guide and protect him?”

“Guide. Protect! Where were you when he was being raped in Azkaban! Guide, protect? Why didn’t you defend him Albus, why did you let the damned Wizengamot just throw him in jail! If that’s how you guide and protect then I will in no way help you. Guide and protect my arse that young man is angry, rage filled and frankly you all deserve what ever he dishes out. Honestly Albus how could you do this again? You let Sirus rot in Azkaban knowing he was innocent, did you even try to help or did you pretend to help that way you could save face in all the scandal. Sirus was Harry’s guardian when Lily and James were killed, then Sirus ends up in prison, you had to know we were mated that sending Sirus to prison would strain our bond, then the night Sirus saved Harry at the Ministry and went through the veil, did any of you try to save him, and did any of you help him. Like Harry said he served his purpose and had become a liability. I said I would help and I will but know this I do this because I know what’s right and because Sirus would hate to see Harry as he is and would not want him to become a bitter hateful man. Although he had help getting that way. Good night headmaster.”
