Chapter 4: Dumboldore's Office

"Ok Harry, we've got your potions so we can go to Dumboldore's office and speak with him about you." Remus told him.

"W-Why?" Harry who mentally slapped himself. He wasn't supposed to ask questions! He was really in for it now.

"We're going to talk to him about your um relatives so we can discuss adopting you so you can live with us." Remus replied.

"Oh." Harry said with a small smile. "Your...Your not taking me back?" He asked fearfully.

Remus knelt down to Harry's level and smiled. "Harry, we're going to adopt you, do you know what that means?"

Harry nodded. "It means your going to take me in with you and take care of me...and love me?"

Remus and Sirius smiled. "That's right Harry, we're going to love you and hug you and play with you." Sirius answered.

Harry smiled and continued walking with his godfathers. They stepped into a fireplace, and Harry clung to them the whole time.

Soon, they were all in the presence of Albus Dumboldore, the man of witchcraft and wizardry. He smiled graciously.

"Hello Harry, it's so nice to finally meet you, I haven't seen you since you were a baby." Albus said kindly.

Harry grinned nervously and gave a little wave. "H-Hi sir." He stuttered a bit. The man didn't seem to mind.

"You can call me Albus if you like Harry, you don't have to call me sir." Albus said gently. Harry looked shocked.

"I don't?" He asked. Albus shook his head and offered a lemon candy to the boy.

"Lemon drop?" He asked. "I happen to love them as does Sirius." He laughed and ate one.

Harry took it politely, remembering to whisper thank you. He put it into his mouth and smiled. It was tart and yummy!

"Now, what did you boys want to talk about? And troubles with the muggles? You didn't kill them did you Sirius?" Albus asked, joking with Sirius.

Sirius sputtered and pointed to Remus. "No, but Remus sure socked the fat uncle one!" He laughed.

Albus laughed. "Well, I certainly wasn't expecting that, why did you do it Remus?" He asked.

"I...couldn't help it, the uncle wouldn't tell us where Harry is, I only knocked him unconscious, the other muggles weren't a problem." Remus told him.

"It's perfectly fine, even I wanted to sock them one, I hate to admit it but those muggles really make me angry." Albus replied.

"They locked him in a bloody cupboard, and beat him almost to severely, and starved him!" Sirius exclaimed loudly.

"Sirius, don't swear in front of Harry!" Remus scolded his friend, as he covered Harry's ears.

"Sorry...but they practically starved him to skin and bones and beat him, here's a list of his injuries." Sirius said.

Dumboldore was shocked to see all the injuries and potions that poor Harry had to go through.

"I realize I made a horrible mistake, Harry I am deeply sorry for what's happened to you, and I promise you that you'll never get hurt like that again."

Harry nodded. Why was he apologizing? He didn't hit him like the Dursleys did. He was nice and Harry liked him.

"W-Why are you apologizing sir, you didn't do anything?" Harry asks nervously asked if he was about to be hit.

Albus smiled sadly. "I'm afraid I did, you see when you were a baby and your parents died, I sent you to your aunt and uncle, I'm truly sorry, I wouldn't have ever sent you there if I knew you would suffer so."

Harry frowned. Albus was the one who sent him to the Dursleys, but he didn't know they were mean, so Harry wasn't mad at him.

"It's ok sir, you didn't know they were mean so I forgive you, it wasn't your fault." Harry said kindly.

Albus smiled and patted Harry on the head, making the little boy jump in fear. "Sorry Harry." Harry shrugged and blushed.

"Anyway, I must tell you that Harry is extremely talented and...Harry is a genius." Albus said, shocking the men.

"What? How can you tell?" Remus asked in disbelief. He knew Harry had a wide vocabulary and such, but a genius?

"Harry, what is 44,000 times 29,852?" Albus suddenly asked Harry who answered immediately with no hesitation.

"1313.488, sir." He was a bit scared that he was wrong. If he got the wrong answer, he would be hit.

Everyone was shocked as Harry was absolutely correct. He was a genius! And a magical one at that.

"That's right, now can you spell Mississippi?" Albus asked, flashing a small smile.

"M-i-s-s-i-s-s-i-p-p-i." Harry answered in a flash. Remus and Sirius were amazed.

"Harry, you are a genius! You'll b never have to go to school!" Sirius exclaimed with a big smile.

Harry faked a smile. The one thing he's ever wanted is to go to school and be normal, but he was too freaky to go, he guessed.

"Well, when your 11 you can go to Hogwarts, the school of witchcraft and Wizardry, you are magic, Harry."

Harry gasped and covered his ears as if Sirius had just swore a curse word. Sirius was confused.

"What's the matter?" He asked Harry. "Did I saw something wrong?" He turned to Albus and Remus who shrugged.

"Y-You said a b-bad word, sir." Harry sniffed, becoming scared. His aunt and uncle hated that word.

"What word?" Sirius asked worriedly, he hadn't cursed again had he? What did he say?

"M-Magic." Harry whispered, hiding his face immediately. It was a very bad word, if he said it at the Dursleys, he would get whipped.

"Harry, magic is not a bad word at all, in fact it's a very good word." Remus explained, trying to console the boy.

Harry shook his head frantically. "The Dursleys hated that word, I said once when I was 2 and he hit me!" Harry said.

Remus was quick to comfort him. "Oh Harry, I promise you magic isn't bad, your relatives just don't like it."

Harry calmed down a little bit and sniffed. "Really?" He asked. "Why did they hate um magic so much?" He said.

"They are muggles Harry, so they don't like it because they are merely jealous of you, because you are very magic."

"Is that why why hated me when I accidentally did it? I didn't mean too, I promise!" Harry said panicked.

"Did strange things ever happen to you when you were scared or angry or sad?" Albus asked.

Harry nodded. "Once, I got mad at Dudley because he stole my blanket and I accidentally made him float and my uncle hurt me."

Remus gave Harry a little hug, trying to comfort him and not scare him with physical contact since Harry was still a little jittery around them.

"That was magic Harry, and we're so happy you've got it because your so special." Albus said kindly.

"Thank you sir." Harry said with a small smile. The Dursleys never called him special before, they called him a freak.

"You don't have to call me sir, remember?" Albus reminded gently, hearing Harry accidentally say it.

"I'm sorry si-I mean Albus." Harry whimpered in fear. He forgot again! He was bad....why couldn't he remember?

"It's ok Harry you don't have to apologize at all, I understand it's different for you." Albus said kindly.

Harry nodded. "I called my aunt 'Tunia' one time she she made me call her ma'am." He explained

"Well, you can call me Sirius and Remus, well Remus." Sirius exclaimed happily. Harry nodded.

"So Harry, why don't you show us some of the magic you can do?" Albus asked warmly.

Harry looked a bit nervous. "I'm n-not allowed to do magic sir." He stuttered. Were they being serious?

"It's perfectly fine to do it for us Harry, go ahead." Remus encouraged as they all waited patiently.

Harry took a deep breath and moved his hand back and forth very slowly. Suddenly, a flame appeared.

"I used it to light my cupboard cause it was dark and scary, I can control it too!" Harry explained.

He demonstrated that by making it bigger, smaller and picking it up with his finger, making everyone panic.

"Harry, doesn't that burn?!" Remus asked in shock as Harry picked up the fire.

"No, it's not because I'm controlling it, so I can't feel it at all!" Harry explained happily.

"That's amazing Harry!" Sirius exclaimed. "You really are magical, what else can you do?

"I can make myself jump high!" Harry cheered. He then demonstrated by nearly hitting the ceiling.

"Ok, that's enough now Harry, those are great magical powers, but we don't want you to get hurt, ok?" Albus said gently.

"Ok." Harry said. "Now." Dumboldore began. "You will find out more of Harry's magical powers when he's a little older."

"So, I have the adoption papers here, if you'd sign them now, Harry can you sign cursive?" Albus asked.

Harry nodded proudly. Dudley always was jealous of Harry because he learned to write cursive at 3 years old.

"Yes sir, I can write." Harry answered as he grabbed the pen and signed the paper in surprisingly good cursive.

Remus and Sirius went to sign when Harry stopped them. "Wait sirs." He said quietly.

"Don't you want us to sign it Harry?" Remus asked in confusion. Harry whimpered.

"I just want you to make sure you know what your getting by adopting me, sirs." Harry said.

"What do you mean Harry?" Sirius asked. "We know that we're getting a wonderful, intelligent little boy."

"B-But, I'm weak and stupid and ungrateful and bad and I'm a freak!" Harry sobbed.

Remus and Sirius knelt down to the boy's level and wrapped their arms around him, making Harry sob louder.

"Harry, Harry it's ok, your ok." Remus told him, patting his back to comfort him. "Shhh, look at me." He murmured gently.

Harry did so, looking up at them with teary green eyes. "Harry, you are not a freak or anything they call you."

"You are a wonderful, intelligent, adorable, helpful, grateful, magical, loving and thoughtful little boy." Sirius exclaimed.

Harry sniffed. "But the Dursleys have always called me those names and it seems like they're true." He said softly.

"Well, they lied!" Sirius bellowed, a bit too loudly for Harry liking. "They lied to you about everything." He said.

Harry suddenly grew joyful. "They lied about everything?" He asked with wonder in his eyes.

"Yes, everything." Remus murmured with a little smile.

"My parents are alive!" Harry stared merrily. "Can I go see them? Please?" He begged, hope in his eyes.

Remus gulped. Now he's made the poor child hopeful. His parents were dead, and they always would be.

"Harry, I'm so sorry that part is true, your parents are...dead." Remus told him mournfully.

Tears filled Harry's eyes to the brim and spilled over. "I m-miss them, I saw them d-die!"

"I know Harry, we're so sorry." Remus said, giving in to the tears filling his eyes to the brim.

Remus and Sirius embraced Harry and each other and cried along with him. It was evident they all missed James and Lily.

And they'd never see them again....
