------------------------------------
Harry Potter sat on his mattress in the smallest bedroom at number 4 Privet drive. He had been home less than half an hour before being locked in his bedroom by his relatives, with only his snowy owl Hedwig as company.
Sighing Harry stood up from the small mattress and walked over to Hedwig's cage. Unlatching the cage door Harry lifted his arm so she would have a perch to stand on.
"Time to go for a hunt girl" Harry said as he watched the sun beginning to set, gently stroking Hedwig's back.
"Don't come back until he's left ok? I don't know how bad it's going to be this time and I don't want to see you get hurt, ok?"
The drive home from the station had been awkward to say the least. As he sat in the back seat he had watched as his uncles face went from red to purple in suppressed rage. He should have figured that the warning given by the Order wouldn't have worked, but a man can hope cant he?
Walking to the window with Hedwig perched on his shoulder he opened the window. Nipping his ear affectionately, Hedwig flew out the window with a hoot Harry just stood there and watched her until she was a fleck in the sky.
No sooner had he closed the window, the overly large figure of Vernon burst into the small bedroom.
"Thought it would be funny to spread lies did you?" Spat Vernon as he stomped across the room towards Harry. Picking him up by the front of his shirt Vernon slammed Harry against the wall" Harry winced as the back of his head hit the wall hard enough to make the room start to spin.
Hoping not to piss off Vernon any more by saying something that he would surely regret Harry remained silent. He wasn't afraid of his uncle, just wary. After facing Voldemort on numerous occasions and not to mention the 60 foot Basilisk, the man in front of him was nothing but a large and rather violent nuisance.
Harry's silence seemed to enrage Vernon even more so he threw Harry across the room. Flying a few meters across the room Harry hit his school trunk that was sitting at the end of his bed. As Harry hit the trunk he heard a strange noise as well feeling a sharp pain emanating from his left shoulder. Looking down Harry got confused as he realized that his left arm was now longer than his right.
As he tried to stand Harry had to bite back a scream of pain as the sudden movement shifted his shoulder. Before he was even fully upright he was hit in the jaw by Vernon's meaty fist, forcing Harry once again to the floor dizzy. His eyes watering from the pain coming from his shoulder
"I'll show you what happens to people who disrespect my family you freak" Spat Vernon as he stood over a prone Harry.
"Time for a new lesson boy" Sneered Vernon as he started raining fist down on Harry.
Harry's world at the moment centered on how much he could move without screaming out in pain. Most of his body was covered in bruises and he was bleeding profusely from where his uncle had thrown him into the mirror in his room. Cuts were all over his hands, face and back as his uncle had continued to beat him consistently while lying in the remnants of his mirror.
After the dislocated shoulder and the fairly lengthy beating Harry's uncle left him alone in his room, while puffing slightly and muttering to himself as he slammed the door on Harry.
Harry idly wondered if it was his lack of response during the beating or was it the fact that it was the most exercise the great lump had endured all year and was probably making him dizzy, that finally made Vernon leave Harry alone.
Harry groaned as he used his uninjured arm to pull himself up, using his writing desk as leverage. Stumbling slightly Harry groaned as his injured shoulder was jolted. "I can't fix this by myself and ill be damned if I'm waiting a few days to get this all fixed"
Harry grabbed a spare piece of parchment that was lying on the top of his desk. Jotting down a quick note to the only people he knew that could help him and keep quiet at the same time "Supposed savior of the wizarding world and yet I have to put up with this shit" "I will not be locked up the same as Sirius was" Like a switch the thought of his dead godfather brought tears to his eyes. "I'm so sorry Padfoot" sniffed Harry to his empty room.
Thinking of Padfoot made Harry feel an immense amount of guilt; if he'd just stuck with occulemency then none of this would have happened. Sirius would still be alive and he wouldn't have put any of his friends in danger. Sirius lost his life because of him. He failed his godfather.
Harry was brought out of his musings as he heard a soft hoot coming from his bedroom window. Wiping the tears from his eyes he looked up at Hedwig. "Hey girl." he whispered softly as he reached up and stroked her softly. Hedwig look up and seemed to look Harry over before looking him right in the eye and giving another soft hoot.
Chuckling to himself Harry tied the letter to his loyal pet. "I'm going to be all right girl, right after you deliver that letter for me. Be as quick as you can and ill be right as rain when you get back." Hedwig gently nipped his fingers before taking off back out through the window.
Gathering himself up Harry grabbed his invisibility cloak from his trunk with some difficulty. Harry knew that if anyone saw him leaving the Dursleys in the state he was in there would be hell to pay. Either from too many questions from his so called 'guards' or for getting blood on the floor and a repeat performance of the earlier beating off his uncle.
With some difficulty and a lot of pain Harry threw his invisibility cloak over himself and quietly made his way out of his room and down the stairs. Stooping just before the lounge room he saw all the Dursleys sitting around the television. Totally engrossed in whatever they were watching, none of them noticed the front door opening all by itself and shutting with barely a sound.
As Harry stepped out into the cold night air the pain hit him full force. "Just one step in front of the other Harry, you can do it." Pushing himself to move Harry started walking to the park where he was going to meet the twins. He had asked the twins to come for the simple fact is that they don't hold back from him. They were the type of people to take the Mickey out on you but would be there with you through thick and thin if need be. That and he gave them money.
Hell if all else fails, bribery works.
Almost three quarters the way to the park Harry had to stop. The pain flaring up from his body was immense. "got to have a few broken bones I believe" Harry thought wryly.
"C'mon Harry move your arse now, there's not that much further to go."
By the time he managed to make it to the park Harry had sweat pouring off his face and breathing heavily, as if just coming off a long distance run. Practically collapsing on the park bench Harry finally fell into unconsciousness.
Nymphadora Tonks was worried. She stared at the back of Harry potters head as he drove away from the station. Were we right in interfering? The way that fat muggle looked as they stalked away set off all sorts of warning bells. If Harry's uncle built up the courage to test their warning then Harry would be in all sorts of trouble.
"Oh siri what should I do?" Tonks whispered to herself. A wave of grief and guilt assaulted the young auror as she thought of her late cousin. Tonks had been blaming herself for Sirius' death since that night in the ministry, if only shed been a better dualist or gotten there sooner Sirius would still be here to look after Harry. These thoughts had been repeating through her head as she fought back the oncoming tears.
"He's going to be ok Tonks. Harry is made out of pretty strong stuff" said a voice beside her.
"You don't know that Remus. He will be all alone with those blasted muggles with no-one to talk to. Its just not right!"
"He's got Hedwig so he can owl us so he can at least talk to us" replied Remus.
Tonks finally looked up at Remus. He looked as ragged as ever. Whether it be from a recent full moon or the grief from the loss of the last true marauder and his best friend weighing down on him.
"Its not the type of thing that u can put in a letter! He needs a shoulder to cry on dammit and someone that will listen to him! You know how he is. Hell tell everyone that he's fine while keeping everything bottled up inside. Its not healthy and you know it" Tonks growled.
Suddenly Remus chuckled which caused Tonks to glare at him. "You know what Sirius kept on going on about before" Remus took a deep breath as he tried to compose himself
"Before he died he kept going on about how much you and our raven haired friend were so alike that he wouldn't be surprised if there were a budding romance in the future for you two."
Remus looked at Tonks to see the tough auror blushing slightly. Deciding to see how much he could embarrass the young auror he continued
"The mutt even went as far as to bet me 20 galleons as to who would make the first move and whose bed we would catch you two in."
Remus was not disappointed as Tonks' face turned beet red in embarrassment and shock. This was too much for Remus who burst out laughing.
Before Tonks could formulate a reply made eye moody clunked over to the pair.
"Tonks you have the night shift tonight so I strongly use the time before then to get some rest."
Recognizing an order when she heard one Tonks stuck her tongue out at Remus before apparating to her apartment.
Arriving promptly inside her apartment, Tonks thought she would take moody's advice and get a few hours shut-eye before going taking over Mungs shift of watching Harry.
Collapsing on top of her bed she didn't even bother to take off her traveling cloak as she lay on her back with her eyes closed. I cant like harry can I? I mean ive barely even spoken to the guy and there I was blushing like a little fan girl and in front of Remus for gods sake!
Ok so that messy hair of his makes me reaaaaaaallly want to run my hands through it (preferably while sucking on his face) wait...wha? Ok where the hell did that come from? I'm almost 7 years older than him.
BAH can I please stop trying to talk myself into shagging mister boy wonder?
Instantly that nagging voice she had been conversing with answered back. Who said anything about shagging him? We were only arguing about if you liked him or not. Not he size of his...assets.
Tonks almost howled in frustration before slipping into a restless sleep dreaming about striking green eyes
Tonks was woken up from a vivid dream of Harry, a pair of fluffy pink hand cuffs and a bowl of chocolate by the site of Harrys owl Hedwig tapping on her window furiously with a letter clasped tightly in her claws. Frowning in confusion tonks wiped the sleep from her eyes as she got up off her bed and opened the window for Hedwig.
With the window open Hedwig quickly flapped inside and gelp her leg out with a loud hoot calling Tonks' attention. Wondering why harry would be sending her of all people a letter she quickly untied the letter from Hedwigs leg.
Hey guys.
Look im in a bit of trouble and I really need your help. Dont tell the order but I cant be here anymore it just isnt safe. Meet me in the park near my house and please bring a first aid kit. Well work out where im going once you get here. Ill be under my invisibilty cloak on the park bench so im not seen by my "gaurds". Well work out where I can go after you guys get here.
Get here as soon as you can im kinda in a bit of pain here.
Your friend
Harry
Tonks eyes were wipe as she reread the letter harry had sent. Looking around the parchment she could see traces of Harry's smeared blood left around the edges. Looking over at Hedwig she could even see traces of blood on her feathers.
"stay right here girl while ill go look after harry, he wont be going back in with those muggles if they are the ones that did something to him"
If Tonks wasnt in such a hurry to leave she might have heard the relived hoot let off by the unusual snowy owl.
Grabbing her wand and cloak tonks appartated straight to the park mentioned in harry's letter. Looking over at the bench she could see nothing. Running closer she could see a dark puddle forming underneath the bench. Reaching out with her hand she felt the silky material of harry's invisibility cloak and pulled.
What she saw nealry made her sick.
There wasnt a single part of harry's clothes that werent stained in his blood, and by the amount that was obviously pooled underneath bench hed been there for enough time to lose a lot of blood.
Pulling herself together Tonks reached out and grasped harry's shoulder firmly before apparating them both to the one person she trusted outside the order.
