He was back; back at the place he thought he was free from for good. Haven was looming over him. His naked body covered in blood, bruises, and cuts. His body screamed in protest as he attempted to get away, and the fact that the handcuffs had already cut deep into his skin made it unbearable, even worse than what had caused the scarlet blood between his pale legs. . . .

The scream pierced the silence of the house as Harry relived the most recent attack, It took less than a minute for his bedroom door to swing open and the light to be switched on illuminating the boy as he struggled against the attacker in his dreams.

" Harry, come on wake up you're safe." lily stated in a soft reassuring voice. " Come on Lion, you're alright." Gently Lily shook her younger brother awake, fear was etched in his features as he now lie still on his bed. Lily ran her fingers through his messy black hair. Things had changed since school ended three weeks ago, and they weren't for the better either. The violent nightmares returned with intensity and He and Ron had a mysterious falling out that just destroyed Harry's high spirits. His other friends had failed to returned his letters, even Sirius failed to visit as he promised in one of his letters. It seemed that the only thing the golden boy actually had was his sister, and her love.

Harry slowly sat up, his body hurt from all the thrashing around he had done, but the boy quickly found solace in his older sisters open arms. The tears flowed like rivers as he cried, the pain in his chest dissipated with every sob. And the pain he felt seemed to evaporate when Lily whispered comforting words in his ear and rubbed circles in his back. The emotional distress eventually drained the boy of whatever energy he had and soon he fell into an unrest full sleep. Lily sighed deeply as she tucked her younger brother into bed. It seemed like things where just going to get worse and she just knew it.

Despite the fact it was summer, it seemed to be more like fall transiting into winter. The normally blue sunny sky was cloudy and grey, it mirrored the mood with in the building as the meeting got underway. The long narrow black table was full of Death Eaters as the Dark Lord sat at the head of the table with his inner circle in the first twenty chairs.

"What can you tell me about The Potter Girl Severus?" Voldemort asked the potions master as he sat less than five chairs away.

" She's very emotional" The Potions Master replied, " She reacts best when it is Harry who is hurt My lord."

A menacing smile appeared upon the dark wizards snake like figures, making Severus's blood run cold.

"That's perfect." Voldemort stated. " She is of age is she not?"

"She will be on the 31st of July." Severus continued. " But despite the fact she is still underage we can not find her. Apparently they are in hiding."

"They won't stay that way for long My dear potions master." Voldemort said. " They will reappear when the new term begins."

Even after a year, the same overwhelming feeling of dread was present in the air. But that was normal after that had occurred on July 13th.

Lily couldn't help the pain that she felt as she sat on the red plush couch that morning. Harry had been asleep for hours now, but she wasn't complaining, he needed it, he needed to heal.

"Are you alright/" Harry's voice came from the hallway making his sister jump. She had no idea she had fallen asleep.

"Yeah, How about you?" Lily asked as she pushed herself up.

" I am good considering what today is."
