Chapter 1

It was a normal day but for people it wasn't as normal for them especially for a young boy that lived at private drive who was called harry potter and he was 7 years old and living with his terrible aunt and uncle and the only reason that is, is because his parents killed by a man named voldemort who was known as the darkest wizard of all time but harry didn't know anything about the wizarding world even though he was very known in the wizarding world because he is known as the only one who survived the killing curse which was the very spell that killed his parents one night and also made voldemort disappear that night because when he was stunned with that spell it rebounded and hit voldemort which is why he disappeared and harry was left with a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. But the reason harry didn't know about that was because his aunt and uncle never told him anything about his parents the only thing he knew about them is that they died in a car crash which he survived with only the scar he had on his forehead and every time he asked about them the only reply was the car crash and they always so never ask questions so he never asked again and he also learned never to complain about anything again because he would be punished dearly.

At the moment harry was outside doing some gardening on his aunts orders while his aunt and uncle plus his cousin Dudley who is the same age as harry but asks more of a child but anyway they all went out without him once again, and if Harry didn't finish the choirs he was given he will get badly punished when his uncle got back. And Harry still had to clean the kitchen, vacuum the bedrooms and cook dinner for them when they get home but he didn't realise what the time was until he heard a shout come from the inside the house and this voice was all to familiar to him because it was someone who he feared the most.

"BOY DIDNT I SAY HAVE ALL YOUR CHOIRS DONE BY THE TIME WE GOT HOME" Shouted his uncle from behind him.

Harry spun around and saw his furious uncle standing right next to him and the look on his uncles face made Harry panic and move away from him but it did no good because his uncle was to fast for him and grabbed Harry by the collar of his shirt and punched him straight in his face which knocked his glasses of his face. Harry cried out from the pain but stopped when his uncle spoke.

"What did I say about crying out, the neighbours can here you this is your own fault for being a useless freak and not finishing your choirs" shouted his uncle

"I...I'm s...sorry uncle" Harry choked out from trying not to cry out from the pain.

"Sorry doesn't cut it you freak, you know the rules and you know what happens when you break those rules" Shouted uncle Vernon.

Then he dragged Harry into the house and into the kitchen where his aunt and cousin was but his uncle didn't stop until they where in the hall way and what Harry didn't notice was that his uncle grabbed a knife on the way past, he only noticed when the cold blade was placed on his neck, and he stopped struggling and watched his uncle smile at him then he was thrown to the floor, and as he tried to get up his uncle pushed him back down, Harry couldn't do anything about what was about to happen because he was too weak compared to his uncle. Then Vernon raised Harrys shirt until you could see his bare stomach and then placed the cold blade on Harrys stomach which made Harry flinch which only made Vernon grin even more, then Vernon placed a hand over Harrys mouth which only confused Harry but then he watched his uncles grin grow and realised he did it to stop him from screaming out then his uncle pushed down on the knife and moved it which caused a gash to form on his stomach which caused Harry to scream out but was muffled from the hand over his mouth so none of the neighbours can hear him.

This went on for about 50 minutes but in Harrys mind it felt like hours and by the end Harrys stomach and arms were covered in gashes, cuts and a lot of blood, Vernon then removed the knife from his stomach and throw Harry into the cupboard under the stairs or in Harrys case his bedroom and his uncle slammed the door shut and locked it.

"This is what you deserve you ungrateful freak" said uncle Vernon through the cupboard door.

Hogwarts

Albus Dumbledore was in his office at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry and he was going through some files he was given by the ministry, then all of a sudden his fire came to life and out stepped Mrs figgs with a very concerned look on her face.

"Why hello there Arabella, what can I do for you?" said Albus

"It's about Harry potter Albus you need to take him away from those people who call themselves his relatives, I saw it with my own eyes this time Albus his uncle punched him straight in the face and dragged him by his neck into the house where I heard muffled screams and quiet crying" said Mrs figgs beginning to panic again

"Arabella are you telling me that Harry is being abused by his relatives" said Albus sounded worried himself.

"Yes I am I considered this before but now it just proves I was right, you better do something about this Albus or I will" said Mrs figgs

Albus nodded to her, because he knew that she was right and he did as well suspect of the boy being mistreated. About an hour later he called someone he trusted the most to go and fetch Harry from his relatives and bring him back to poppy the school nurse, to see what the damage is. Then he heard a knock on his office door.

"Come in" Albus said calmly and the door opened to reveal Severus Snape the potions professor of Hogwarts.

"Good evening Severus" said Albus

"I guess, now are you gonna tell me what I'm doing here" said Snape

"Well I'm sending you on a mission Severus to fetch a young boy from his relatives" said Albus

"Who exactly is this boy Albus" said Severus

"Harry potter" said Albus

"What you expect me to fetch the potter boy from his relatives I don't think so" said Severus making his way to the door

"His being abused Severus" said Albus

Then Severus stopped and thought about his childhood of being abused all the time by his so called father for so many years of his life.

"Fine I will go fetch the boy, but I wont like it" said Severus

Albus nodded and gave him instructions to just get Harry out and back here so he can be checked out. Then gave Severus the address as he left the room.

Privet drive

Harry was still in his cupboard trying not to move because it hurt every time he tried to but couldn't. He looked down and noticed his clothes were covered in blood and knew he couldn't do anything about it though. He didn't know how long he was in there but his vision started to go blurry more then before since he didn't have his glasses on and he knew he was going to pass out. Then he heard the front door open just before his life went back.

Mission

Severus Snape was making his way towards his destination to fetch his enemy's son from the boys relatives, once he got there he cast a spell to see if everyone was asleep then made his way over to the front door and unlocked it with another spell and made his way into the house and closed the door behind him as quietly as he could and went upstairs to the bedrooms to look for the potter boy.

Once he got upstairs he saw 5 doors and opened the one nearest to him which turned out to be a bathroom and made his way to the next one and opened the door slowly and saw a boy in the bed that was in the middle of the room but when he got near he realised it wasn't the potter boy and that it was the boys cousin Dudley and left the room and moved to the next one and opened the door until he checked them all and still no sign of the boy. Then he made his way down the stairs and was walking towards the kitchen when he heard a moan and he froze bot knowing where I came from then he saw the cupboard under the stairs but thought no the boy couldn't be in there so he moved to caring on into the kitchen when he heard another moan and he knew this time that it came for the cupboard and ran over and unlocked all the locks that almost covered the door.

Then he swung the door open and went in and what he saw made him want to punch someone but decide against it, over in the corner was a thin mattress but what was on that mattress was a small boy in clothes that were too big and also covered in so much blood.

Once he got to the boy he knew that the boy was asleep and also that the boy was crying not so long ago and saw the bruises that covered the boy and then he noticed the amount of blood on the boys shirt and lifted to see why and saw two large gashes on his stomach which were still bleeding and realised the boy wasn't asleep but had passed out from the amount of blood loss and gathered the boy in hi arms not caring if he got covered in blood.

"Hold on Harry" whispered Severus

He left the house and made his way over to the apparation point and apparated to Hogwarts, and then ran to the hospital wing as fast as he could and that was where he was told to meet Albus and the school nurse poppy, once he got there he throw the door open to reveal Albus and poppy chatting and he made his way over to them which caused them to turn around they both gasped from the sight in front of them.

"Oh my god, what did they do to him" said poppy close to tears.

"Not now poppy his losing to much blood" said Severus

she nodded and told him to place the boy on the bed which he did without hesitation and poppy began looking at how injured the boy was.

"He has two broken ribs, a broken wrist and by the looks of it a bad head injury and is also covered in cuts and bruises but the worst is the two large gashes on his stomach that looked like they were made a knife" explained poppy

Albus and Severus nodded and watched poppy work on healing the boy and Albus turned to Severus.

"Was there any difficulties" asked Albus

"No they where all asleep and you know where I found him Albus in a cupboard under the stairs even though they have two spare rooms" answered Severus his anger rising and no one spoke for awhile but Severus wanted to know something.

"What happens to him now Albus clearly your not sending him back there" said Severus

"Of course not and I know exactly where he is going" answered Albus

"Where" asked Severus

"To non other then his father best friends Sirius Black and Remus Lupin" answered Albus without hesitation

"Are you kidding me Albus Black was only proven innocent a couple of weeks ago and Lupin you know full well why he isn't fit for it" said Severus

"Severus it will be fine Remus knows how to control his anger and you know that as well as I do and you know that Sirius has been dyeing to see Harry" said Albus

"Okay fine, when are you gonna contact them and tell them what happened and the fact the boy is here" asked Severus

"As soon as poppy has finished healing him" answered Albus and Severus nodded

About half an later poppy was finished healing Harry so Severus went down to the headmasters office with Albus to contact Sirius and Remus once they got there Albus went straight over to the fire place and cast a spell and popped his head into it.

With Sirius and Remus

Remus was sitting on the sofa reading a book when the fire suddenly came to life and his former headmaster's head popped through.

"Good evening professor" said Remus

"How many times must I tell you to call me Albus I'm no longer your professor, and anyway is Sirius around" said Albus

"Yeah his upstairs, want me to get him" asked Remus and once Albus nodded he walked into the hallway.

"SIRIUS" he shouted

Then about 10 seconds later Sirius and Remus came into the room.

"Evening Albus" said Sirius

"I believe your presence in my office is required" said Albus and then he disappeared once again.

Once back in the off ice he nodded to Severus and about two minutes later Sirius and Remus came through the fire looking really confused and slightly scared.

"What is this about Albus" asked Remus

"It is about non other then Harry james potter" answered Albus

Sirius and Remus froze at those words and they soon grew concerned

"What about him" asked Sirius

"he is currently in the hospital wing being taken care of by madam pomfrey" said Albus

"What, why" asked Sirius

"It has come to conclusion that the boy was being abused by his relatives" said Albus

"WHAT" shouted Sirius

"H..how bad is it" asked Remus

"As bad as it can ever be Remus, now once you calm done Sirius I will take you both to go see him, but remember he is still unconscious" said Albus

Sirius and Remus both nodded at their old headmaster and Albus lead them out of his office and towards the hospital wing. Once they were outside Albus looked at Sirius and Remus and they both nodded and Albus opened the door and once they were inside they saw their old nurse that took care of them every time they were injured during a game of quidditch. And the was standing by one of the beds and they made their way over to the bed and what they saw made their rage grow but they ignored it for the time being all that mattered was that Harry was here and safe and they sat down next to the bed and stared at the boy in the bed.

"What's exactly wrong with him poppy" asked Remus

"Well he has lots of cuts and bruises, loads of scar which I can get ride of and due to the look of them they look like they have been there for at least 3 years, he has two broken ribs, a bad concussion caused by a head injury, a broken wrist and also two deep gashes caused by a knife on his stomach which will heal in about 3 days" after she spoke everyone in the room got angry even though Albus and Severus have heard it still annoyed them.

"Will he be okay" asked a very nervous Sirius

"physically yes, mentally I am unable to tell that is up to how he sees this" said poppy

Sirius and Remus nodded, then they all just stood there for awhile when finally Albus, Severus and poppy left the two men with their best friends son.

Remus turned to Sirius and noticed the look of quilt on his face

"Don't even bother blaming yourself Padfoot, you didn't case this damage" said Remus

"But I could of prevented it from happening but instead I got myself thrown into Azkaban" said Sirius with tears in his eyes

"No Padfoot all this is because of one person and one person only and that person is Peter Pettigrew and clearly voldemort" said Remus

Even though he still felt guilty he nodded in agreement but you could easily see the pain in his eyes.
