Arashi: I have thought long and hard on this story and were it would go as well. All credits for the few characters name in last chapter goes to the original author though I'll just stick with it as best for the character wise but not sure yet. To some degree Harry will be meeting Remus in this chapter.
Disclaimer- I don't own Harry Potter, Books, Movies or its characters since they belong to J.K Rowling and Warner's Bros. I just write for fun which means I don't make a profit of this fic.
Chapter 5
From his spot on the floor gazing at the books distance away, Harry gaze around the room. He felt guilty for the bite but didn't know the man. He knows that's wrong since something is there about that man he tries to remember. Sirius that's it. From somewhere but no avail. He could make out some of the conversation from the man who left him alone.
He gets up moving towards the book on top gazing at the picture on the front cover. He flips through the pages trying to read a few words with some trouble. He pouts a bit then shakes his head. His four year old mind finally digesting everything that happen so far. He's away from his uncle's hands at last though it seems hard to believe it at the same time.
One picture of the book he's looking at catches his interest. A pack of wolves. He tilts his head letting a soft sigh of sadness wishing that he could have a family like the wolves in the wild and zoo's have. One of the major reasons he loves the animal due to one of the rare chances he got to spend the day with Mrs. Figg she let him watch TV. Though its an education show it had his interest from the beginning. He wish he could learn put more words of his thoughts other then simple sentences.
He gaze up when footsteps reaches his ears. Sirius stands nears the door way watching the calm expression change to one of wary as the boy's mouth form into a snarl. He could have laugh at the sight how cute it is but knows this is a defense for him. Thinking of the way to get the boy to slowly trust him an idea form.
He gives a soft smile telling the boy who keeps an eye on him. "How about we play a game Harry?"
Harry tilts his head placing the book on the ground showing Sirius it's a picture of wolf pack. He blink wondering why would his godson stop at that page when a family of deer is on the next page. He watch Harry ponder a few minutes then nods slowly waiting.
Sirius takes a deep breath as he begins to explain the rules. "I'm going to ask questions and if I'm right you take a step forward near the door I'm at. If I'm wrong you can take a step back and vise a versa."
Harry nods again finally using his voice. "Yes, Sir."
"Harry please call me Sirius instead of sir. Sir just makes me sound and feel old." Sirius answers putting on an old man act getting the boy to laugh even if he didn't want to. He grins happy to see a different reaction other then the wariness and fear.
He clears his throat asking his first question. "You like wolves Harry?"
He remember seeing the page and watch the boy take a step forward his green eyes at times filter to the picture then back at him. Harry waits seeing Sirius is going to ask another. The smile and those stormy eyes seem to show joy and patience. The boy thought carefully unsure how to ask his question.
Due to his limited Vocabulary he ask softly, "A friend or enemy?"
Sirius understood the question. Harry want to know who he is. He's also testing how far Sirius means his words. He can do this. it's a start but hopefully get the boy to open up. He takes a step forward replying, "Friend."
Harry concentrating on Sirius got startle hearing a fireplace coming to life and a call for the man's name. "Sirius?"
Sirius blinks surprise how fast Remus came. He thought the man would come the next day or something. He answers keeping an eye on Harry. "In the dining Room Remus."
Sounds of footsteps reaches their ears just as a man in his twenties with light brown hair and a soft shade of brown eyes that could be compare to molten amber. His eyes takes in the small black hair boy who watches him distrustfully and curiously at the same time. He does look like the miniature version of James with Lily's eyes. On close look, Remus could make out some of Lily's features, her nose, cheek bones all there.
Taking a deep breath he replies, "Hello there little one. My name is Remus Lupin. Though you can call me…"
He didn't get to finish that sentence as mix emotions filters in the green eyes. The boy stares at him getting a feeling of familiarity. He knows this man from somewhere. Those eyes seems rather familiar so does the presence. A name comes to him after the many times he got stuck outside the house as soon he learn how to pull the weeds and turn on the facuet. His eyes widen a few minutes later calling out, "Moo'y you here!"
Sirius blinks in pure confusion and shock to the core. Remus feeling the same way wonder how the boy knows his nickname though he left the n out. The boy runs at him hugging him tightly crying hard. Moony wakes up in the back of Remus's mind showing memories of the full moon three months ago after the boy's birthday. Remus now understand. That's why Harry remember him. He pets the boy's head seeing the hint of jealousy within his friend's eyes besides pain. He gives a shaky smile.
He quickly explain, "It seems Harry remembers seeing me in my furry problem who decide to take a trip to see him. That's why he well ran to me Sirius."
Sirius nods numbly watching the boy do a one eighty before his eyes. The smile that wasn't on the boy's face now there and chatting as if nothing though most of its nonsense. Harry blinks realizing what he done blush darkly going back to his shell.
He whispers, "Sorry."
"Its fine Harry glad to know you like someone." Sirius tells the boy smiling know earning a tiny invisible smile before the boy looks up at Remus.
"Moo'y pick up please." he inquires scoop up in the man's arms. His eyes begins to droop just as he whispers getting Moony and Remus wishing to help Sirius more. "Wish for family like dog pack in book."
He falls asleep as Sirius picks up the book while Remus place the sleeping child on the couch Sirius conjures watching him. Sirius covers him with the blanket. He whispers to his old friend, "He knows Moony?"
Remus nods explaining the day getting Sirius to nod. The man wish to help Harry though if he could show proof he can change into Padfoot just maybe it will help the boy to open up more.
"He wish to have a family, Sirius." Remus replies after a few minutes of silence. "Similar to wolves or his words, Dog pack. Though with the wand problem take it easy and even let Harry hold it for a few minutes doing simple things. It would help him get over that"
Sirius grins goofily as he answers. " I like that idea Moony or should I say Moo'y. I'll show Harry what its going to be like having a family even if I have to be Serious."
Remus gives Sirius a dark look for the cub's words. He hisses out blushing lightly, "Only the cub can call me that Paddy."
Sirius rolls his eyes muttering under his breath earning a slap in the arm. "Killjoy."
Arashi: Any suggestions or things you will like to see is appreciative. .Moo'y part is just Harry's special way of saying Moony even though it's a simple word its better. I'll try to show the scene of that day Moony and Harry first meet though be either a dream or flashback. Please read and review.
