Neurotically Yours - ch 8
Fandom: Harry Potter
Summery: What if everything in Harry’s life ended up making the boy savior a bit more then slightly insane? What could have happened with a wizard as power as him running around not being right in the head. Would he be another dark lord? A light wizard?
Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter it was be a truly twisted place to amuse me and my twisted brain and as all you would get by suing me is a handful of pocket lint you can wisely assume I’m making nothing from this either… Also don’t own Foamy and anything you see that reminds you of it doesn’t belong to me as well…
Harry was all to glad for the trip to be over once the reached Dumbledore's office. He was equally as glad to find himself settled in conjured chairs between his Dudley and his Draco when it was quickly made clear that Dumbledore wasn't going to let them leave. He didn't want to be here, didn't want to be so close to the man that had taken his mum and da, but he couldn't leave either for that very reason. His Dudley, His Draco, and Severus were here and he couldn't leave Black alone with any of them. Black might not have threatened his Draco, but he had threatened his Dudley and Severus and he wasn't going to let him do it again or even get the chance to try for that matter. So he remained though he missed the looks that he kept receiving from the boys on either side of him for it.
The talk that started around him didn't mean much to him for the most part his Draco started talking about how they had spotted the dog, the Weasley, and Lupin. He told Dumbledore about how he and Dudley had decided that he should go find some help while Dudley stayed with Harry. He finished with finding Severus and following him back to the willow along with his rather surprise that Severus had known how to make it freeze.
His Dudley had gone next starting again with spotting the dog, the Weasley, and Lupin along with the talk with Draco and then Draco's leaving. Dudley told Dumbledore about how he had followed Harry into the willow, after he had copied Lupin and managed to get it to freeze and let them in, only to end up running into Harry and making the topple into a room that had Black, Lupin, and the Weasley in it. While he didn't know it Dudley did hesitate a bit on the next part not wanting to tell Dumbledore about Harry 'wanting' Black, but he told him about Harry's request all the same knowing Harry wouldn't hold back when he told his version. He finished with how Lupin had threatened him and Severus and how angry Harry had gotten over them being threatened, but how easily Severus had gotten him to calm down.
Harry was told to go next and while he would rather not when Severus asked him to he spoke up. He told Dumbledore how he had seen the Dog dragging the Weasley and how he couldn't leave someone even if it was a /Weasley/ and how Lupin had followed behind them not very long later and he had vaguely seen Lupin poking at the willow with a stick. He told the old man how confused and angry he had been at seeing Black and Lupin making sure to add in that Lupin had tried to convince him it was his Draco and Severus that had been letting the Black man in. He calmly told the Headmaster about his request to have the Black man and that he still wanted to test out is new spells on the man. He easily ignored the old fool when he tried to ask what spells and where Harry had gotten them, he didn't need to know about his presents from his Draco, his Dudley, and his Draco's Parents.
As he moved on to Lupin threatening his Dudley though he couldn't have hid the rage in his tone if he had duck taped it into a paper bag and tossed it into a river. "He threatened Harry's Dudley. The Lupin threatened Harry's Dudley, and Harry threatened him back. Harry's Severus came then though and then the Black man and the Lupin threatened him. They threatened Severus and Harry just wanted to test his new spells on them." Green eyes blinked before they met Severus's gaze "Can't Harry test some on them? Harry promises not to kill the Black man or Lupin." He promised.
Severus was having a grand time trying to hide the smirk that wanted onto his face as the three boys spoke telling their versions of what had happened tonight. The look on Dumbledore's face when Dudley was all but forced to admit that Harry had basically asked him if he could kill Black was nearly priceless. While he almost felt sorry for the Headmaster he had done this to Harry and maybe now he was finally starting to understand the ramifications. Dumbledore might be no farmer, but the saying was that you reap what you sow and all the yo-yoing about those first couple of years had broken Harry beyond repair now. Still he had thought it couldn't get any better until he caught the look that flashed over Black and Lupin's faces when Harry started talking about killing them and how they had threatened Dudley and himself. It really was rather amusing and his only regret was that he knew Harry would be hurting from all this and that he really could have killed either man without regret. When green eyes met his gaze he blinked at the question watching him for a long moment amongst the silence that descended on the room before shaking his head "No Harry." He replied calm as ever.
Harry visibly deflated at the denial "Can't Harry just hurt them a little? Lupin threatened his Dudley and you and The Black man took Harry's mum and da. Please can't Harry do something?" he half pleaded like a 'normal' child would for a toy they wanted. The plea just got him another 'no' and he hunched his shoulders giving the two men in question harsh looks he would get Severus to explain later why he couldn't hurt them.
He only half heartedly listened to the Weasley's version of things; something about the rat they had in the cage and a cat one of the other Gryffindors had and trying to catch the rat before being dragged off by the dog who /was/ Black. That part managed to get him to pay a bit more attention, but the Weasley said nothing else about it so he quickly grew bored again. Lupin went next talking about some map and seeing a name he shouldn't have which was why he had followed Black. When he got to the part where he threatened Dudley and then Severus he tried to make it sound like both had been threatening him and Harry bared his teeth at the wolfman suppressing the odd urge to growl at him.
After Lupin the Black man was finally allowed to speak. He started off by trying to say that he wasn't his parent's secret keeper and it took everything in Harry not to launch himself at the older man at those words /everyone/ knew it had been the Black man. He explained about going after Peter and how the other had blown up the street and disappeared into the rats which he could apparently do because he was a rat Animagus. He skipped any time in prison and how he managed to escape beyond saying that he did and that he then went to the Dursley's house. Apparently he had a vague memory from just before he was locked up about being told that was where Harry was being sent and he went there to see him.
He only spent a short time there though and of course never /saw/ Harry, but he didn't try to track Harry down either more worried about getting to Hogwarts to get the Rat man. He explained how he had been trying to get into the Gryffindor tower all year so he could kill Peter Pettigrew and that he had 'recruited' Crookshanks to help him get the rat. He went on to say that he had grabbed Weasley, but was really aiming for the rat just with Weasley holding on so tightly he could get the rat. He finished by explaining that he had just planned to turn the Rat man back into a human and kill him but then Lupin had shown up and he had had to explain to him. By the time he had finished explaining to Lupin though Harry and Dudley had shown up then while he hadn't threatened either himself he hadn't stopped Lupin from threatening Dudley. When Severus showed up he did threaten him though with the wand he had taken from the Weasley and had had to convince Severus to bring him here because he knew Dumbledore would understand and believe him.
Harry's nails were digging into his palms by the time the Black man was done speaking, was this person really his godfather? He had to know he had to! Harry lifted his head just enough to where his green gaze could settle on the escapee. "Black man left to go get Rat man because he knew Harry's parents were dead?" he questioned receiving a nod in return "Black man went after Rat man because he knew Harry's /parents/ were dead?" he questioned again earning him a confused look and another nod "His parents?" a hesitant nod and more confusion.
While he had never thought about it Severus quickly realized what was really being asked so he chose to reply for Black "Yes Harry Black knew you were alive when he went after Pettigrew." He informed him sorry to see Harry hunch over dropping his chin to his chest.
"Black man went to Dursleys, didn't find Harry, but didn't look for Harry?" the thirteen year old questioned.
"I needed to find him. He had killed two of my best friends, I had to make him pay." Sirius reiterated not sure what was going on, but he had a feeling he was missing something especially when he saw Harry cringe when he used the word 'needed'.
"Black man came to Hogwarts, to get Rat man? To kill Rat man?" The teen again questioned.
"I needed to…"
Harry didn't wait for him to finish interrupting Black after cringing at his words "Black man came to Hogwarts to get /Rat man/? To kill /Rat man/?"
Severus offer Black a hard look and spoke before the man had a chance "Yes Harry Black came to Hogwarts and went after Gryffindor tower to get Pettigrew not because he thought that was where you were." He hated to say it especially as he saw Harry sinking farther into himself, but it had to be said because Black sure didn't understand. In truth if not for how much this was hurting Harry he would laugh at Black for the look on his face which clearly said he didn't understand the difference in the ways they had said things.
"How does Black know the Rat is the Rat man?" Harry questioned after a long silence his bowed head making him miss the looks he was getting from Draco, Dudley, and Severus.
"Because I have seen his Animagus before, I know that is him." Sirius replied confidently.
"Why?"
"Because we were friends at school." Sirius couldn't help the return of the confused look.
"Black man already said that. Harry wants to know why Rat man showed Black man." While he didn't see the uncomfortable look on Sirius's face he did catch Severus's snort and raised his head some. Catching where he was looking he followed the other's gaze towards Black and Lupin only to catch Black's look as Sirius shifted his gaze from Lupin to himself. "Stop looking at Lupin and answer Harry! Unless Black man wants the Wolf man to answer for him then Black man should answer Harry."
Sirius couldn't have stopped his jaw from dropping if he had tried as he turned a beyond surprised and shocked look on Harry that he caught nearly echoed on Remus's face "Wolf man?"
"Lupin is Wolf man. Harry knows that Black man knows that." Harry replied shortly narrowing his gaze at Sirius.
"Of course /I/ know, but how did you Harry?" Sirius questioned before he answered his own question turning his gaze to Severus "You told him didn't you? What it wasn't enough that you knew you had to go telling everyone else too?" he growled.
"Yes Severus told Harry! Why wouldn't he? It was smart of Severus to tell Harry!" Harry hadn't /meant/ to yell at the Black man it just well happened and he didn't care just off to stop it. Instead he pulled himself from his seat straightening himself up and offering Sirius a glare "It was very smart of Severus to tell Harry, his Draco, and his Dudley! What if they had tried to go to Lupin's office on a full moon! What would have happened Black man! Even if Wolf man takes the potion he is still Wolf man! What if he got startled and bit someone! What happens then Black man!"
"Potion?" Sirius question suddenly confused once more.
"Harry, you know about the wolfsbane potion?" Remus questioned at the same time.
Harry snorted "Of /course/ Harry knows he helped Severus make it." He informed Remus as if he thought the other man was more then a bit dim, the tone showing that maybe he spent a bit too much time with Severus. At the look on both faces he narrowed his gaze again "Harry has been helping Severus for over a year now. He is very good at the potions for Madam Pomfrey." He offered proudly not catching the quickly hidden snickers from both Draco and Dudley at the beyond stunned looks on the faces of Remus and Sirius.
It was at that point that Dumbledore decided it might be time to intervene because really this didn't seem to be going anywhere and he would rather they not get into a fight. "Well this is all very interesting, but if Remus's and Sirius's stories are correct then we have a rat to deal with. We can talk about all this later after we deal with this." He assured them watching as Harry deflated some and returned to his chair between Draco and Dudley though at least he didn't look so well /defeated/ anymore.
Harry mainly zoned out again to the actual words flying around him instead more focusing on the rat. When Severus raised his wand and pointed it at the caged rat he sat a bit straighter waiting. He didn't believe the Black man, but maybe if he wasn't lying then Severus would let him have Pettigrew.
Needless to say when the cage was vanished and the rat was hit with the spell to force an Animagus back into their human form everyone except Sirius and Remus were surprised. As for the two who weren't surprised Remus was currently holding Sirius back, he might not have entirely believed Sirius's claim himself if he hadn't seen it on the map. It was taking everything in him to hold himself back from wanting to attack the rat, but he knew James and Lily wouldn't want them to go to prison over Pettigrew.
Harry's gaze was firmly fixed on the sniveling rat like man that had replaced the rather drab looking rat. The man didn't look at all impressive as far as the boy was concerned and he informed the others of as much which drew Pettigrew's attention his way the Rat man's eyes wide though for what reason Harry didn't know or care. "Can Harry have Rat man? He really does want to try his new spells." He questioned not letting his gaze leave the man that had betrayed his parents to their death.
Severus resisted the urge to smirk when the faces around him paled. It looked like the others, except for Draco, couldn't stomach the idea that this was Harry or maybe they just couldn't stomach the thought of using a person to test spells he really wasn't sure which. What ever it was though he knew that he couldn't allow Harry to play as much as he may want to just to see the looks the faces around him would have. "No Harry you can't the rat needs to be given to the ministry. This does mean that Black didn't betray your parents so he really doesn't deserve to go back where he has been." He calmly informed Harry.
Harry didn't like it, but he knew Severus was right. He might not like the Black man, but it wouldn't be nice to let him be blamed for what the Rat man did. He would just have to find someone to test his spells out on later then, that was all. With that settled he pulled himself up from his chair once more looking from Dudley to Draco "Harry wants to go now." He informed them glad when they stood up as well heading for the door.
Author's Note - Ok yes cliffie sorry, but while I have obviously lost the contest I am trying to keep with the spirit in some ways well and this chapter is taking forever. There is still more to go in the office, but it'll be in the next chapter which will hopefully take /FAR/ less time to come. I am going to try and get back to the weekly updates I started with in truth so keep your eyes open.
