Last Chapter:

Poppy started her work the first moment she stepped into the room. She took out her wand muttered spell as she swept her wand over the young man’s body. A scroll appeared out of thin air and she grabbed it and began to read the list of injuries he had. Her eyes went wide and she gasped at what she read.

“What is it? How bad is it?” a worried Albus asked as he stood in front of the battered and broken young man’s bed. She looked over and both Albus and Severus her eyes filling with tears as she tried to speak they began falling as she found her voice to talk.

“W-well… besides for the fact that most of his bones in his body are broken or have been broken in his life. Some of them have never grown back the right way for they look like they were never treated by a muggle healer so they grew back the wrong way. So to fix that I am going to have to re-break them and heal them all once again. The healing potion you have given him is doing very well in his system. He will need more soon though because of it being used up so fast to heal so many injuries at once, and since his injury count is so high he will be needing quite a lot of it before everything is somewhat healed. For some of it the potion will not be any help. He also has a lot of blood he will need a blood replenishing potion every hour until his blood count is back to normal. Severus I need you to make an advanced healing potion for his internal injuries his lungs have been punctured by one of his ribs. How he has not died yet is beyond anything I know. He…” she paused taking a slow breath as her tears started to fall again from her eyes. “He has… also been brutally raped numerous times. He has terrible internal scaring that shows that it has been going on for a long time now.” She stopped there and let her tears fall as she sobbed quietly. Albus moved over to comfort the witch as his thoughts about what he had just heard ran around in his head. The ever present twinkle in Albus Dumbledore’s eyes had gone out as he looked sadly at the young man whose life seemed balanced precariously on the edge of life and death.

“I should have never put him in that house. I knew they did not like magic but I never would have thought their hate of it would go this far; that they would do this to their own flesh and blood.”

On the other side of the room, Severus was pacing taking in all that the Medi-Witch had said. He was fuming to say the least now wishing he had tortured them as he had wanted to do so badly. How could someone do this to such and innocent boy? Their own family he would never understand. He had been so wrong about the Potter boy. Severus had imagined him coming from a family that worshiped the ground that he walked on, loved, and spoiled him. No matter how much he had disliked the boy he never wished for any real bodily harm to come to him. He only tried to keep the boy in line and not let the fame of being “Savior of the Wizarding World” get to his head. Severus had been so mean to the boy. Albus had tried to tell him that the boy was not like his father, tried so hard to make me understand that he was just, Harry, not James the biggest prat in the world. Letting out a sigh Severus kept pacing and fuming.

“I’ll kill them for this Albus. I swear I will kill them for what they have done to him. I could go back there kill them and leave the Dark Mark above the house, and everyone would think that is was the, Dark Lord who did it. No questions asked well I am not saying I will make it a fast a painless death but for what they have done they deserve to be kill painfully slow.” Severus said in a rush as he started to collect his belongings to leave.

“Severus, my dear boy. You know you can’t do that-“

“And why the hell not!!? They deserve it. I don’t like the boy much either but apparently I like him much more then they ever did. Don’t you understand he could have died today? He almost did and he would have if I hadn’t of showed up when I did, and for all we know he still might die tonight he is not out of the water yet. He is barely breathing on his own now. Not to mention that if he wakes up he will have to remember everything that they did to him. He could try to kill himself for some reason or another, then what? You want to have them arrested and put in Azkaban for this. That would be great thing for him to have to go though going to court and telling everyone in the wizarding world that they almost killed him.” Severus was now pacing again mumbling under his breath as he kept walking.

“I understand that but they have to be done the right way. I know how you feel right now but you can’t do that. I am going right now to go handle it. You have to stay here incase anything happens so the boy or a potion that needs to be brewed. I think I remember, Poppy saying something about a potion. Right now I need to call Moody and Remus to tell them that the boy is here and what shape he is in. Also to get aurors we trust to come with me. I am taking them tonight. If what I have in my memory does not have them locked and put into Azkaban then you may do things your way.” Dumbledore said as he left the room.

Severus stood there in shock at what he had just heard; Dumbledore just gave him permission to kill those horrible people if he thinks, did not work out like he had planned it to. “Bloody Hell” he had never seen his mentor so mad before. It was quite a scary site he now knew just why, Voldemort was scared of Dumbledore.
