Huge Author’s Note at the end and short chapter, sorry…
After the two men finished applying all of the potions, they climbed into the bed to cocoon the little boy who had wormed his way into their hearts so long ago. Even now, though could clearly remember when he was born and many of his firsts, it killed them to see this tiny child in so much pain. They laid close to him, speaking to him about anything and everything as Harry battled the pain he felt, tears slowly dripping from all eyes.
Two hours had sped by since Mrs. Weasley had left them in her room when the door had finally opened to the relief of the home’s permanent occupants. Bodies darted around to catch a glimpse of the trio. When they saw Harry, it made them feel thankful for what good fortune they had. Rich or poor, attractive or ugly, smart or stupid, at least they had a loving family that looked after each other. At least they knew the cold hands of a doctor and the sour, cringe worthy taste of medicines all of their lives, and most importantly, the love of family and friends.
For that they were thankful.
Remus was carrying Harry again like a little baby, heading towards the communal bathroom where the only bathtub in the large home was located. The potions on his body needed to be washed off and he hoped that the heated water would soothe some of the aches away.
He filled the white porcelain tub with steaming water, still gently holding the boy in one arm as he knelt. Noises behind Remus told him that Sirius was with him too. The quiet click of the door assured them some privacy.
“Is he still out of it?” the other man asked.
Hands, very large compared to the tiny body it touched, tilted Harry’s head back to reveal the half-lidded eyes. Fortunately he wasn’t crying anymore but Harry wasn’t cognizant of anything. He was still lost in his own world.
“Yeah,” whispered Remus. “He is still out.”
He ran his fingers through the slick hair.
“I can’t wait for this to be over with,” Remus continued. “I know Gwen and Nanna said that he should be done with the potions in a week but still…”
“You want it to be over with now,” Padfoot sighted. “Come on, let’s get ‘im clean.”
Carefully they unwrapped Harry from the blanket they had rolled him into. By now, the tub was halfway full of hot water.
“This is going to be hot pup,” warned Remus. “Let us know if it is too much.”
Sirius flicked his want to secure their sleeves out of the way as his friend lowered their pup. A low whine filled the air, coming from Harry. He blinked rapidly and began to make small movements, stretching small hands in an attempt to dispel his confusion.
“Wha-“he groaned. The water felt divine to his sore body, but that was as far as his awareness extended.
“Pup?”
The water lapped at his body. Two pairs of hands with washcloths and smelly soaps scrubbed at him.
“Harry?”
He could hear the voices, but he couldn’t understand what they wanted. He felt his body being manipulated as the hands softly scrubbed him. Suddenly hot water dripped down his head and the hands, two staying to hold him up, moved to his hair. Fingertips massaged his head now, most likely lathering soaps into the dark locks from his father. The thick fog in his head crept out with each stroke.
He was in a bathtub.
He was in a bathtub, the only one in the Burrow.
Someone, two someones, had their hands on him, washing him.
They were washing him, probably Sirius and Remus. Probably washing him to remove the potions from his body.
Oh.
“Remmy?” Harry spoke for the first time since the adults arrived. His throat hurt.
“Yes pup?” answered the man.
Harry remained silent. He heard the tears in his pseudo-godfather’s voice.
The bathroom stayed silent but for the sounds of the two men washing Harry for several minutes. None of them knew how to break it.
Finally, a niggling question in Harry’s mind gave him an ice breaker.
“Am I taller now?”
That did the trick as smiles broke out.
Extremely short chapter I know, but I have a few things to address and I wanted to get this out as I felt it was a good end point.
First, thanks to those who offered to Beta and to Kiapar who started to work with me. I suppose I made an error in emphasis. Fixing grammar and spelling mistakes is wonderful and all, but what I really need is a sort of cheerleader type person. I need someone who has the tenacity to signal me every once in a while that “hey, have you written today?”
That would be the biggest help ever. Reviews kinda remind me to write but because I don’t get many [and I don’t care that I don’t] they don’t help as much as the occasional but regular pm. Does that make any sense?
Speaking of reviews, here are a few replies to make you [hopefully] salivate:
1.Eye-sight/Health-a large chunk of the next chapter will deal with this.
2.Horcrus-14th birthday.
3.Schooling-will change at some point in some manner.
4.4th Year-there is a plan for fourth year.
5.Crying-sorry [but not really] about making you cry. Don’t worry, you still will in later chapters.
6.Mates-Harry will have five, only one of which is [male] HP Canon. The rest [males] are my own, and all of them have been decided.
7.Looks = Superficial Love- won’t happen. Part of why harry is focusing on his looks is because it is something he can control to some degree. All his life he never actually had control [which he now craves] over himself, now he does, but all he sees is his ability to control his looks.
Next: if possible, I would like to get recommendations for the ff.net story picture thing. Please signal me if you have any ideas of what would be a good icon for this story.
Finally, this story is on both FF.net and AFF.net. At some point there will be higher rated parts which will only make it to AFF. I did create an FB account under Anicia Red, I will try to answer questions/post updates on progress like many other authors have. So you can check there.
Next Chapter: expect it to gloss over 3rd year and up until Harry’s 14th birthday. This will be the true start of this story and he will begin to meet his mates. Expect it sometime close to after Thanksgiving Break. As I am going to be alone, Mediocrity will be my companion.
