Chapter 2: The Meeting and Rescue

"Hurry up Sirius, Dumboldore told us to meet him in his office at 8:30, it's 8:25!" Remus Lupin shouted in annoyance.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Sirius exclaimed as he hurriedly shoved on his coat and grabbing the floo powder.

"Dumboldore's office!" Sirius shouted as he and Remus stepped into you fireplace.

They soon arrived at their destination where Dumboldore was waiting urgently. He'd just discovered about Harry's abuse and just hoped they weren't too late.

Dumboldore had no doubt in his ming that Remus and Sirius would reject the opportunity to adopt and raise Harry.

Both men clambered into the room and immediately approached the wise wizard.

"Ah, please take a seat gentleman, care for a lemon drop?" Albus offered.

"Mm, thanks!" Sirius bellowed, grabbing one air devouring it whole, earning a look of disgust from Remus.

"Now then Albus, you wanted to see us? What's going on? Did something happen?" Remus asked.

Dumboldore sighed and frowned solemnly. "I'm afraid that Harry Potter is being mistreated." He said calmly.

"What?!" Sirius roared, banging his fist on the table in anger. "I knew this would happen! Why wasn't he removed sooner?!"

"I'm sorry to say it slipped past me, I just found out this morning when Minerva did her check on Harry and witnessed him being beaten, she alerted me right away."

Ever since Harry Potter went to live with the muggles, Minerva McGonagall did a yearly patrol to make sure Harry was well.

It just so happened that she was in the right place at the right time. She had just seen Harry be beaten and thrown into a cupboard.

"Outrageous!" Sirius exclaimed. "He needs to be removed from the muggles immediately! Why is he still there suffering?!"

"We are going to as soon as we get your permission...since you, Sirius have just come back from Azkaban months ago, I want to ask if you both will be willing to adopt Harry."

"Of course we will!" Remus replied immediately. "He's our only godson, of course we agree to raise him!"

"I was hoping you'd say that, you may collect him first thing tomorrow morning." Dumboldore says with a smile.

"Thank you Albus, number 4 Pivot drive, if I'm correct?" Remus asked as he grabbed a sheet of paper.

"Yes, and boys...both of you please be careful not to use any magic in front of the muggles, you know how they are."

"What I'd really like to do is punch them in their non-magical faces!" Sirius growled, raising his first.

Dumboldore shook his head and sighed. "I would like to as well, but try not to use violence to teach them a lesson, Harry is there and he has already been through enough violence.

Both men nodded and walked out, so they could prepare their cottage so it's suitable for Harry.

"Oh, an Sirius, try to control yourself, you don't want to end up in Azkaban now, Harry needs you." Albus explained.

Sirius gave a little smile as he and Remus set out. They just couldn't wait to recuse Harry.

That night, both men slept uneasily. They guessed it was from excitement, but it was also worry.

Sirius tossed and turned in the night. He was worried about Harry. What damage had already been done to him? What if they killed him? What if Harry didn't want to go with them?

Remus kept thinking about all the abuse the poor boy had gone through. Was he beaten? Burned? Whipped? Starved? His heart hurt thinking about it.

They were going to save this little boy.

In the morning:

"Come on, hurry up and get ready Remus, I want to go get Harry and beat up those muggles!" Sirius exclaimed.

Remus jumped up from the bed and got dressed, excitement coursing through him. "Me too, but we can't beat them up, you know that." He said softly.

"Moony, what if Harry doesn't like us? What if those muggles don't give him up? Sirius asked quietly.

Remus frowned at his friend. He felt the same way. "I'm sure he'll love us, he's Prongslet, son of Padfoot!" Remus replied.

Soon, both were ready and flood to number 4 Pivot Drive, hoping no one would see them. Luckily, no one was awake yet.

Well, they were about to be.

Sirius knocked on the door and waited with Remus at his side. They heard a man yell suddenly and the sound of a little boy starting to cry.

Sirius's blood boiled at the noise. He was almost certain they were shouting at the poor boy. He was so angry, but hid it.

Suddenly, the door swung open and a purple-faced, burley man who looked like he weighed at least 300 pounds. He was fuming and angry.

"Go away, I remember you people, your those magic folks, well go away!" He shouted in frustration.

Sirius was about ready to burst through that door right then and there, but Remus grabbed his arm.

"Control yourself, remember this is for Harry." He whispered. Sirius nodded and took a deep breath.

"Excuse me sir, we're sorry to bother you, but we were wondering we could come in and see Harry Potter?" He asked with forced calmness.

Vernon looked panicked for a split second, the his face contorted in anger as he faced the 2 men.

"There is no Harry Potter here, now leave before I call the cops!" He shouted loudly. Both men knew he was lying.

Remus couldn't take it anymore. He took out his wand aimed it right at Vernon, who backed up in terror.

"B-Be careful with that thing!" He demanded as the thin, terrified woman walked out.

"Who are you people?!" She screamed at Sirius and Remus. "Get out of my house and leave my husband alone!"

"Petunia Dursley, is it?" Remus asked respectfully. "We're ever so sorry to intrude, we are here for Harry Potter."

Petunia's lower lip curled into a frown as she heard those words. "There is no Harry Potter here!"

Just then, a rather fat and scared small boy waddled out and looked at the men timidly.

"Harry?" Sirius asked the tiny child. He was shaking like mad. "I-I'm not Harry, don't hurt me!"

He ran to Petunia who picked him up with much difficulty as if she was picking up an elephant.

"Don't worry diddlydums, the mean men won't hurt you!" She cooed to the toddler.

"Enough nonsense, where is Harry?!" Remus shouted, already at the end of his rope.

"For the last time, he is not here!" Vernon screamed at the top of his lungs, making Harry jump in his cupboard.

Harry could hear everything that was going on and he was hopeful that the two men were here to rescue him.

"That's it!" Rumus yelled. He took his wand, pointed it at Vernon and shouted: "Alvinsuea!"

Vernon immediately smacked into the wall, unconscious but not dead. They couldn't actually kill Vernon no matter how much they wanted to.

Petunia ran to her fallen husband in tears. "You've killed him!" She sobbed. Remus sighed in irritation.

"He's only unconscious, now if you know what's good for you!" He snapped, causing Petunia to grab Dudley and run away.

Now alone, they decided to find Harry. "Harry?" Sirius asked quietly. He then waited, listening.

"I-I'm here." Harry said weakly from his cupboard. Remus immediately used magic to open the door.

They gasped as they saw the tiniest boy sitting in the cupboard with tears streaming down his face.

"Harry, it's ok we're your godfathers, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, we're here to rescue you." Remus explained.

He gently reached into the cramped space to try and coax the little boy into coming out, but Harry flinched madly as if he'd just been struck.

"Harry, we're not going to hurt you." Remus said gently. Harry just looked at him with his big green eyes.

"Here Moony, let me try." Sirius offered, letting Remus exit the cupboard since only one of them could fit.

Sirius poked how his head inside the cupboard and was heartbroken to see Harry's terrified face streaked with bruises and tears.

"Harry, I'm one of your godfathers, Sirius Black, please come out so we can help you." Sirius begged.

Harry sniffed and decided he might be able to trust these men. After all, they haven't even hurt him yet.

He slowly crawled out and allowed Sirius to help him up." Is there anything you'd like to take you too, Harry?" Sirius asked.

Harry bit his lip nervously. He didn't have much stuff, only the blood-stained blanket he was found in as a baby.

He grabbed it, eager to give Sirius at least something. Sirius gave a look of disgust at the bloody thing. He assumed it was something Harry loved.

"Is this all you have?" Sirius asked, forcing a smile as if not to frighten the boy. Harry decided to tell him that truth, that he didn't get stuff and hoped the man wouldn't be angry.

"I d-don't have any more stuff s-sir." Harry stiffened nervously. He immediately scrunched back from Sirius just in case.

instead, Sirius calmly asked why. Harry froze. He knew he had to give the right answer or he'll be smacked.

"B-Because I'm an u-ungratful freak and only D-Dudely gets stuff." Harry sniffed.

Sirius's heart broke at those words. "Oh Harry, you deserve much more stuff than Dudley, your a wonderful little boy."

Harry relaxed a little bit at that and looked up at Sirius. "R-Really?" He asked uncertainly.

Sirius nodded. "Yes, and you will get much more stuff when you live with us, anything you want."

Harry flashed the tiniest hint of a smile and Sirius smiled back. "Now, let's go I think Remus is waiting." He said softly.

Both climbed to their feet as Remus walked up to the door. "Hello Harry, we're going to take you home now." He said.

Harry nodded and suddenly gasped when he realized his head was bleeding again. When he heard the yelling, he jumped and hit his already bruised head hard.

Of course, Remus saw the injury and jumped into action. Sirius, he's bleeding!" Harry sobbed.

"We need to go to madam Pomphrey first anyway, we need to find out what other injuries he may have." Sirius exclaimed.

So, Remus gently took Harry's hand as they were about to floo to madam Pomphrey. They stepped in the fireplace.

"Harry, we're about to floo and it might be a little scary at first so I'm gonna hold you, ok?" He asked.

Harry nodded, flinching at the sudden contact. Sirius noticed and ruffled his hair.

"Honestly Moony, I thought Dumboldore told me to control myself, but you sure showed him!" Sirius exclaimed.

Remus blushed and cleared his throat awkwardly. "Yes well, he made me so mad I just couldn't contain myself."

They soon flooed and were in the office if the warm-hearted nurse who has yet to meet Harry.

He was rescued...
