Summary: After his fifth year, Harry's summer is downright depressing, but when Remus lets him sort through Sirius's things he makes a discovery that could change his whole life.

Dark Secrets

Chapter 1: Going Back

Harry Potter sat behind his desk in his room, staring out of his window. His homework laid spread out before him as it had been for two weeks, but he had still to write a word on the parchment. He had hardly left his room since returning to the Dursleys. Downstairs he could hear his uncle and aunt talk and from the room next to his came the sounds of Dudley's new video game.

Suddenly the doorbell rang. The voices downstairs quieted, as did Dudley's video game. He heard Dudley's door open. His cousin was probably going to hide at the top of the stairs to see who it was, not that fat Dudley would be able to hide, but he always tried.

Harry didn't pay much attention to the noises. Until he heard his aunt's muffled scream and Dudley falling down the stairs after opening the front door.

A door slammed and soft footsteps walked up the stairs. If Harry hadn't been living in a daze since the start of the summer, it would have registered non of the Dursleys ever walked up the stairs so quietly. He didn't react to the knock on his bedroom door, nor did he look up when the door was opened.

"Harry?" A voice asked.

Still no reaction.

"Harry?" The voice asked again, softer this time as the man it belonged to placed a hand on the boys shoulder.

Harry looked up into a pair of familiar greyish eyes.

"Remus?"

"We've come to get you out of here." The man replied.

Harry nodded and looked out of the window again. The sun was slowly setting, making something occur to him.

"How are we going? On brooms?"

Remus shook his head.

"Not this time, Harry. A portkey is much saver right now."

Harry nodded and slowly got up, starting to pack his things into his trunk with Remus's help. It didn't take them long, since Harry had hardly taken anything out of his trunk during his stay. Remus shrunk the trunk (A/N: Hey that rhymes) and put it in his pocket.

"Come on, the sooner we get out of her, the better."

Harry followed Remus silently, not even asking where they were going. He could already guess and knew it was no use protesting. He hardly noticed the other wizards and witch standing in the hallway. The front door was closed and the Dursleys were nowhere to be found, probably scared.

"Hey Harry."

Harry looked up and saw Mr Weasley. Mr Weasley shot him a smile when Harry caught his eye, but Harry just looked. He couldn't smile.

"Let's hurry, the longer we stay here, the bigger the change we get caught." A voice grumbled.

Harry looked and saw Alastor 'Mad Eye' Moody. Next to him stood an unknown witch, but giving the unnatural eye-colour, it was safe to say that was Tonks. Harry felt Remus's hands on his shoulders as Tonks opened the door and with mild force, Remus steered him out the door and onto the Dursleys' driveway.

After a few minutes of walking they reached an ally. There Mr Weasley pulled out an old quill.

"Hurry, we've only got a few seconds left." He said and everyone grabbed the quill.

Not a second too soon, for when Harry touched the quill, he immediately felt the tuck behind his bellybutton. When his feet touched the ground again, he was barely able to keep his balance.

"Harry!" A voice cried out and he was pulled into Mrs Weasley's hug like all the other times they had met.

"Hi Mrs Weasley." He replied softly, not really in the mood for happy people.

"Come on, Harry. Let's get you to your room." Remus said, probably catching on to Harry's discomfort.

Harry nodded dully and followed Remus out of the kitchen of the ancient house of Black, not paying attention to the other occupants off the room. When they reached the second floor, Harry was about to walk into the room he had shared with Ron the year before, but Remus stopped him.

"Not this time, Harry. I figured you'd rather want a room of your own, so you'll have a place to hide when you want to be alone."

Harry looked into Remus's eyes again and for the first time since the events in the Ministry of Magic, a small, grateful smile played on his lips. There weren't many words needed between him and Remus, they understood what the other felt and needed.

Remus led him onto two other flights of stairs and on the fourth floor he opened a door. The room wasn't too big, fitted with a bed (no four-poster), a nightstand and a desk with chair.

"It's not much, but it's something."

"It's enough." Harry sighed.

Remus shot him a tired smile, pulled out the shrunken trunk from his robes and turned it back to its original size. A rumble from Harry's stomach caught his attention.

"Did you have dinner already?" He asked and Harry shook his head in reply.

"I'm not hungry."

"Sirius wouldn't want you to starve yourself, Harry and I know for sure he and your parents would kill me if I'd let you." Harry opened this mouth to protest. "And don't tell me you don't know that, for you might not have known your parents, but you knew Sirius and you know it's true and I did know your parents."

Harry closed his mouth, defeated. Remus had a point there and he couldn't fight it. His eyes fixated on the floor and Remus sighed.

"Come on Harry. I haven't eaten yet either."

Harry followed Remus back downstairs for dinner, knowing this was going to be a long summer, but not knowing what this summer had in store for him.

A/N: I'M BACK! I've had a really big writers block concerning HP fics and I still have for my currently running fics, but I hope this one will help me get passed that. Sorry, I kept all of you guys waiting for so long. I'll try not to let it happen again.

I'm dedicating this story to three very good friends of mine: Dutch Lily Flower (Jolijn), Maiken and Star Le Faith (Jenny, my wonderful beta-reader for my Power Rangers fics).

One more thing I'd like to say to all of you people out there; Thanks you very much for waiting so long and still be willing to read, not only that, but some of you even added my fics to your community, I'm really honoured.

You'll be hearing from me again soon, that is a promise.
