Harry stood in Professor Lupin's offices, he waited for his lesson for the afternoon when his favourite professor stood in front of him and went to touch him and Harry flinched at the hand reaching for his shoulder. The amber eyes man sighed and walked over to a table and chair he had set out for them with tea and chocolate. "Harry sit down please." The wolf whispered softly, Harry worriedly walked over to the table and chair and sat down.

Remus had known something was wrong with Harry from the moment he met him on the train, he could smelt it on the moment he walked into the compartment. While he pretended to sleep under his cloak he watched the 13 year old. His mind screamed at him as he saw him a thin small boy wearing far too large clothes and he flinches every time his friends got to close and there as marks on his skin. He knew what was happening but he hoped Dumbledore would do something when he went to him with his suspicions. But the old man told him "As far as I am aware Harry's Aunt and Uncle love him very much, you must be mistaking Remus." Is what he got. But the more time the wold spent with the boy the more he believed that his pup was being abused.

Harry was quiet as he looked down into his tea up watching the spoon stir itself "I thought we were training to day sir?" Harry said quietly, Remus rubbed his eyes before looking back at him

"Not to day Harry. I know this is a sensitive subject but I believe that you are being abused by your so called family." Remus said, Harry looked up at him wide eyed and bit his bottom lip "I have spoken to Dumbledore but he… he doesn't want to know."

"He's paying them." Harry said "Like he is paying Hermione and the Weasleys." He told him as he looked back up, his eyes watering up as tears started to roll down his cheeks "He won't help me and neither will they." He said, Remus stood up and knelt in front of the teen and reached out and took the cringing teen's hands and held them softly.

"I am so sorry Harry if I had known this was happening I would have taken you and ran." He whispered as he used his free hand to wipe away the boy's tears

"Please don't make me go back there." He sobbed as he let the wolf pick him up and sit him in his lap and hold him.

The teen wanted to push himself away from Remus but a part of him wanted to be comforted by the only person who seem to care for him "I will take you away from here, just give me some time." He whispered to him as Harry sobbed harder as he finely just curled on the man's lap leaning against his chest. Remus held him and kissed the top of his head as he felt Moony growl in anger and he had a hard time keeping Moony in control at this point

"What will I do?" Harry whispered

"Nothing for the time being cub, we need to keep a low profile and I will need to ask for help cub to get you out of here and that place." Harry held the wolf's battered robes and he closed his eyes breathing in his scent

"You promises?" Harry whispered as he screwed up his eyes and rubbed his face into the man's chest "You can't lie to me please don't lie to me." He whispered

"I'm not lying to you, I promises before this school year is out me and you will leave here together."

After Harry left for his next class Remus headed for the potion master's offices, he knocked on the door and waited for those sour tones. "Enter." He walked in and saw the sneer on the man's face as he looked at him. Remus wanted to growl as he turned and locked the door before matching over to the desk. "If this is about your potion it's not due for a few more weeks!" Snape snarled

"I don't care about that damn potion, I don't take it any way." Remus finely growled getting the shocked potion master to look up at him seeing brown eyes swim into golden amber. "Harry is being abused by his muggle family." He hissed

"Oh of course they are, what are they doing denying him something he wants?" Snape snarled at him, Remus snarled back and pointed his want at the potion master's throat.

Snape didn't flinch as he glared down at the wand then to its owner, he see the anger in the man's face as he stood above him "You of all people should know he signs of abuse. Forget that he is James' son forget he is Lilly's son just think of him as a child who has no mother and father who is stuck in a home of magical hated muggls!" Remus yelled at him. Severus stared into those amber eyes for a long time before he looked away

"Very well we should take him to Poppy and have his head of house…"

"No." Remus said, making the dark haired man look up at him

"What?"

"Dumbledore knows and he doesn't care, Harry has leant that he is paying those piggish muggles and Hermione and the Weasleys." Remus told him as he pulled his wand back

"What?" Severus yelled as he stood up "Is he sure?" The wolf nodded and growled as he rubbed the back of his head

"Yeah he's heard, we spent an hour talking about everything, and he heard Hermione, Ron and Miss Weasley talking about it." He said, the potion master frowned deepen as he leaned against the desk

"What is your plan?" He finely asked him

"That is where I need your help."

The night Sirius Black dragged Ron to the shirking shack was the night that Remus put his plan was put into action. Harry once in the shirking shack they found Ron was unconscious on the bed with a broken leg. Hermione rushes to the bed "Stupefy" came the loud voice and the brown haired witch fell on top of Ron. Harry turned and looked at Remus and another man who has his hands on Ron's rat. Suddenly the chubby rat changed into a small, around and fat man. His nails were far too long and ragged looking and his teeth were longish and stained yellow. The man known as Sirius has his hands around the rat's throat.

"Let me kill him!" Sirius yelled as he snarled at the cowering man at Remus who stood there with his arms around Harry as the 13 year old watched.

The teen hadn't said a word and Remus could smell blood coming from his cub he guessed that Dumbledore might have something to do with that but for now he is just holding the boy close to him. Harry turned to where Hermione and Ron lay on the dusty old bed unconscious he wondered what they would think of all this if they were a wake…it's best they don't know what is happing so they won't take me away…he thought. A strangled whimper made him turn to look back at the long dark haired man that reminded Harry of a vampire "Harry what do you think we should do with the rat?" Remus asked as the dark haired boy just looked at the fat man who was begging for his life.

"Kill him!" Sirius snarled

"Nooo!" The ratty man known as Worm tail aka Peter Pettigrew cried out

"Turn him in?" Remus said raising an eye brow.

Worm tail somehow got out of Sirius's grip and threw himself at Harry and started begged him, he held onto the teen's clothes making Harry pulled back as the man fell onto his knees. "Harry, sweet Harry you won't let anything happen to me. Your kind like your father and your mother." The man said, with a smile and looked hopeful but the teen just looked into the man's eyes and said

"You don't deserve to live." He told him, Sirius grinned as he grabbed the rat again around his throat and started to squeeze. Remus didn't wince like the thought he would as he saw a man being choked to death but for Peter he would stomach anything, he gently guided Harry away as Sirius strangled the ratty man. The wolf was trouble by Harry's reaction so he looked down at the boy and saw a far off look in those green eyes

"We could have handed him in?" Remus asked

"He would have gotten away." Harry said dully "He would have escaped and found his way back to his master." He told him bitterly just as Sirius walks out the room rubbing his hands on his tatted clothes.

"Merlin that felt good." He purred as he looked at the dark haired boy and smiled but that smile drop seeing the look on Harry's face "I went too far." Sirius said

"I don't think it was you." Remus said as he "Are you ready to go Harry?" He whispered, he boy turned to him and nodded.

They got out the same way they got in and now they stood under the moon light looking at Severus, Sirius growled at the man but Remus put his arm out and stopped him from saying something nasty. "You will find Miss Granger and Mr Weasley unconscious and a dead Rat." Remus said, as the potion master looked at Harry seeing that the boy was quiet and just staring at the ground.

"I've called in a favour, Dumbledore will be chasing them for a while and when the dust is clear he will think they took Harry and yourself." Snape said, Remus nodded as he placed a cloak around Harry's shoulders

"Thank you Severus." He said as he potion master handed him a bag, Remus is raised an eye brow and looked back up at him

"Some potion for Harry." He said, the boy looked up at him with side eyes because it was the first time he heard his name come from the potion master

"Thank you sir." Harry whispered as he turned towards Remus and Sirius and they headed towards the forbidden forest.
