A/N: WOW!!! Reviews!!!!! Yea!!!!!!!! I never though I would get so many reviews for such a bad story...
Ginny5: hehe, maybe I should have put that little note at the beginning of the chapter! Sorry if I confused you. Glad you liked it. Here's more.
Lela Potter: Is it really that good? Is this updated soon enough for you? =D
Lovestruck: Thanks!
SGM29: I think I'll continue with it, I'm really not sure... I have another very very good idea in my mind, but it doesn't involve as much Dursleys torture Harry... What do you think?
Atiekay: No comment.
Alias: physical impossibilities? Hmmmm, might I remind you, that Harry IS a wizard? True, for a normal human being, he would be dead, but there are no set laws for a wizard... "Sirius Black's the name."... "YOUR THAT MURDERER!"... I can see how that could be confusing... If that's what your talking about. But when Sirius introduces himself, Vernon is the only one there, and the later is when Petunia realizes who he is... Does that make any more sense? Thanks for noticing though.
Phoenix353: Glad you liked it.
YuZira: Hehe, me too! Those are my favorite kind of stories, even if that does sound a little mean... The best are when Sirius comes and rescues him and Harry gets to spend his recovery with him.
Minerva-Severus-Dumbledor: Is this soon enough? Don't get used to it though, I probably won't be able to post for another few days... School... Sigh.
Padfoot1979: Hehe, it would, wouldn't it? Sirius already blames himself for what happened to Harry... Couldn't have anything else happen to him, right? Naw. Where's the fun in that? Us writers have to have some Sirius torture...
Okay people. I need your help. I'm trying to decide whether or not to keep this story going, or use that other one that keeps me up all night, playing it out in my mind, or try and manage both at the same time, or not even do the other one. They are both Harry torture in the summer...
So, VOTE!!!
A.) Keep this one going.
B.) Stop this one and do the other one
C.) Do both.
D.) Don't do either since I'm such a horrible writer...
Anyways, on with the story!!!

Three Weeks Later...
Remus sighed. It has been three weeks since they had brought Harry home and absolutely nothing had changed in Harry's condition for the better. Dumbledore had somehow figured out that they had taken Harry, and to say the least, he wasn't very happy that they had taken Harry out of the 'protection' he had made for him. Remus had refused to let Dumbledore see Harry after that, and ignored his owls about OOTF meetings, stating that he already HAD a 'job' and that was Harry.
Madame Pomphrey had stopped coming, and came only when she was called. There was nothing she could do; the injuries had been made by muggles. Not even a painkiller would work on them. Fever reducing potion wouldn't work either, so Harry was on his own. It was up to him whether or not he would get better.
Sirius had only left Harry's side to go to the bathroom, which was conveniently was connected to Harry's room. Other then that, he had been right at Harry's side, pleading with him to get better, telling him over and over how much he need him, how much he loved him. But nothing had woken his precious godson up.
~*~
Remus knocked softly at the door before he went in. "How's he doing, Padfoot?" He asked.
"Worse." Sirius whispered. "I've tried everything. Nothing's working. What if he doesn't want to live, Moony? What if all that he wants is to be with his parents and we're stopping him? ... What if he doesn't want to be with me?"
"You know that's not true, Sirius. Harry loves you; he knows how much you mean to him, e would never leave you. Never."
"No he doesn't." Sirius chocked back a sob. "I never once told him that I loved him, that I needed him. Never once. He must think that he's just Harry Potter, James' and Lily's son, the Boy Who Lived, to me. But he's not. He my godson, my world, my baby..." Sirius couldn't hold back his tears anymore.
"Padfoot..." Remus whispered, giving Sirius a hug from behind, "Sirius that's not true. I know that Harry knows that. How couldn't he? After what you did for him last year-..."
"JUST TO LEAVE ONCE HE NEEDED ME!" Sirius yelled. "I should have stayed with him... I should have stayed... I should have stayed..."
"You couldn't have, Padfoot. Harry knew that. He understood you had a job to do."
"He was hurting so much, Remus. "Sirius whispered. "So much and I didn't even stay, didn't even comfort him, just asked him to understand that I couldn't be there..."
"Sirius..." Remus started.
"Just leave me alone, Remus, you're not helping."
Remus sighed as he left the room, heading downstairs to make dinner that neither he nor Sirius would eat.
~*~
3 AM that night.
Someone had woken him up, but Sirius was not sure exactly what. Moony wasn't there, but could it be... Quickly he turned to Harry.
"Harry?" he whispered.
"Mmmmmmp."
"Harry?! Harry can you hear me bud?"
"S-s-sir-ri?"
"Oh, god, Harry. "MOONY!"
Harry whimpered at the sudden noise.
"Shhh, I'm sorry bud, no more yelling. Your okay, Harry, your okay. Just Relax. No one here is going to hurt you ever again."
""Harry?" Remus whispered, stumbling into the room. "Hey Harry, How are you feeling?" Remus reached out to grab Harry's hand, but Harry surprised everyone in the room when he jerked back to the best of his ability.
"Harry?" Sirius asked. "Harry what's wrong, Buddy? It's just Moony, he won't hurt you."
"S-s-s-iri?"
"I'm right here, Har, I'm right here. Your safe, it's okay, Buddy, No one's going to hurt you anymore."
Harry just curled up even closer to Sirius as tears started to form in his eyes.
"Come here, Sweetie," Sirius whispered, gently picking Harry up into his arms. "It's okay, Har, let it all out."
That's all it took. Sirius didn't know whether it was from the pain or just knowing that he was safe, but Harry started to sob.
"It's okay, Harry, it's okay." Sirius whispered reassuring words into Harry's ear over and over, but nothing could get him to stop.
Sirius nodded to Remus, and he left, leaving Sirius alone with Harry.
After about an hour of crying, Harry started to calm down.
Sirius smiled a little. During the past hour, Harry had managed to get to exactly the place he seemed to want to be, completely in Sirius' lap.
"Shhh, it's okay Harry," Sirius whispered. "Go back to sleep, you need to rest. I'm right here, and I'm not leaving."
Harry nodded his head slightly, and then curled up against Sirius.
Sirius kissed him gently on his forehead. "Welcome back, Harry, I've missed you. I'm right here, and I'm not ever going to leave you again, I promise. From now on I'll always be there for you, I swear. You'll be safe; I won't let anyone ever hurt you again.
"You mean so much to me, Buddy. You're not Lily and James' son, you're not The Boy Who Lived to me, you're Harry, just Harry. I'll let you in on a little secret, Har. When I first escaped Azkaban, I wanted nothing more to protect James' son, to for fill my duties as a Godfather. But now, I know I made a horrible mistake. You aren't The Boy Who Lived to me, Harry, and you are not your parent's son, either. You're Harry Potter, my godson, my baby, the one person in the world who means more to me than anything else in this world. I promise I'll always be there for you, Harry, and I promise that I'll never look at you as the Boy Who Lived or as Lily and James' son, Never.
"I love you, Harry, I love you more than anyone else in this whole world. I need you, Buddy, please, please don't leave me." Sirius whispered, tears streaming down his face.
~*~
Harry listened to everything Sirius had said. 'Could it be possible?' He wondered dimly. 'Could there actually be someone out there who cares about me?' 'Yes, his heart replied, that same person who you love loves you just as much.'
Harry reached out, and he felt Sirius grab his hand. Softly, using all the strength he could find, he traced the words "I Love You Too" into Sirius' hand.
~*~
Sirius was surprised when Harry reached out for his hand, but he grinned when he was what Harry wrote
"I love you, Harry." He whispered, then, smiling softly, he drifted off into the first sleep he had had in a long time.
A/N: Okay, a little sappy? Well, too bad, cause I liked it. So the whole Harry traces something into Sirius' hand thing seems to be a big hit, and I think I'll keep using it, as long as I keep the story.
Review, Reiew review!!!!!
