Summary
In which little Harry sees a peculiar dog and receives some late-night visitors.
“And then there was this one time where Harry could swear, he saw it wink at him, with one eye and everything! Of course, he can’t tell anyone. Not only does nobody apart from himself seem to notice the dog (Aunt Petunia would have called the dog catchers immediately at the sight of such a large and unseemly creature out and about without an owner in sight), even if they did, alluding to dogs winking would land him in the cupboard for a week at least. So, he keeps the dog to himself and thusly makes it (at least in a way) his dog.
One thing – if only in the abstract – that Harry has and Dudley doesn’t.”Series

Summary
“How do you do, Mrs. Dursley.” Harry’s breath hitches. It can’t be! It sounds so close and so far off at once. But it is! It is Mr. Moony’s voice, just without any of its soft kindness. It’s as hard as his expression after Harry let slip about the cupboard. “I’m here about Harry.”
After their midnight visit, Harry waits for Moony and Padfoot to come back for him. For as long as he can remember Harry wished for someone to come and take him away from Nr. 4 Privet Drive; this time the universe seems to have listened.
Impressions of a happy life with a loving family, because Harry deserves it and so do we.Series

Summary
Remus sighs deeply and pinches the bridge of his nose. It can’t be helped. As hard as it may be, they need to do this. “Above all: Keep Harry safe.” Yes, he might be, already. Merlin, how Remus wishes for that to be so! For Dumbledore to be right in saying that the boy is kept and cared for wherever he is, that he’s better off not involved in the wizarding world, that there’s nothing to be concerned or suspicious about.
But that’s not good enough, is it? Where would blindly trusting have gotten them before?Sirius and Remus are on a mission to keep the promise they made to the Potters: keep Harry safe. Finding him is the first challenge, actually getting him out is another beast entirely.
