Harry Potter the Fairy/Wizard Hybrid Chapter 2
When Harry finally awoke the first thing he realised was that he wasn't lying on the hard floor at an odd angle from where he fell down the stairs. He was however lying on what felt like a bed which felt soft but firm and defiantly not his bed at the Dursley's. Next he noticed a smell which he knew from the Hogwarts hospital wing so he knew that he was more than likely at Hogwarts. Last but not least was the pain he had felt was still there however it felt soothed somehow and finally he noticed that he wasn't wearing a shirt.
He began to first wonder why he didn't have it on then he started to panic as whoever had removed it would have more than likely seen the signs of abuse that he carried. As he opened his eyes Harry's vision was blurry and so reached over for his glasses on the bedside table and put them on. When he could see clearly again he looked around and found that he was indeed in the Hogwarts hospital wing and second was that Albus Dumbledore the Headmaster was sitting in the chair next to his bed.
"Good afternoon Harry. How are you feeling?" Dumbledore asked Harry when Harry looked at him.
"I'm ok sir but how did I get here, the last thing I remember was falling down the stairs then nothing after that?" Harry replied hoping beyond hope that the Headmaster wouldn't bring up the obvious signs of abuse.
"That is simple in and of itself Harry, you see ever since that Halloween night all those years ago I've had wards placed over number four and a couple of charms on you to monitor your health and general whereabouts. Now can you explain what happened from your point of view Harry?"
"Well I first noticed a slight pain in my chest and back but I didn't think much of it at the time. However as it got worse I decided that I should get help so I packed my trunk with the intention of coming to Hogwarts and brought my trunk in case I needed an extended stay. As I got to the top of the stairs the pain flared up causing me to lose my balance and fall and hit my head after that it all went black and that's it, that's all I remember."
"Well Harry I was sitting in my office when some of my trinkets that were keyed to you went off. Now normally they wouldn't go off if you could easily go to a muggle healer however if you can't then and only if it is life threatening will they go off. When that happened I quickly Apparated from my office to the Dursley's back garden and knocked. However when I received no answer I unlocked the door with magic and entered and found you at the bottom of the stairs with a head injury. I then used magic again to see if there was anybody else in the house and when I found non I turned your trunk into a Portkey and Apparated you straight here. Now Madam Pomfrey treated your head injury easily and quickly, she then started scanning you for anything else and she found what was wrong with your chest and back. However it's not life threatening but it is incredibly uncomfortable and can sometimes take up to a month to finally come too an end." Dumbledore said although he was smiling at the end as if what was happening to Harry was a good thing.
"Professor what exactly is wrong with me and am I going to feel this pain for a month?" Harry said since he couldn't see the good in it.
"Well Harry first of all your mother Lily went through this exact same thing so it's not going to kill you. This we found out was part of her heritage from her grandmother who turned out to be the daughter of a Fairy but a different kind than what you know of. These Fairies can be found on another plain of existence called Magix and they are more human like than the Fairies you see at Christmas. They have the ability to transform from a human into a Fairy and back again although they still have their magic regardless of what form they're in. Lily went through this in her sixth year since she was the first in three generations to have magic since her grandmother didn't have magic. Although you would be considered something different from your mother since normally this only happens to young women in both conditions. You see Harry we know of people like your mother who were born a Fairy and people like you who would be classed as Hybrids since your father was human. However as I said this usually happens only to young women so you are the first male to go through this transformation. So it would be best if you remain at Hogwarts at least until we are sure this won't have any adverse effects."
Harry just nodded at the Headmaster and started to settle again while thinking on what was said. Harry's mother was a Fairy and not a Muggle-born like he was told and for some reason Harry himself was going through this transformation even though it was normally girls that did. What was more was that he would be classed as a Hybrid of Wizard and Fairy even though his mother was a complete Fairy.
"Professor how is it that I'm classed as a Hybrid when my mother was a full Fairy?"
"Simple Harry we latter found out after Lily's transformation that her magic never changed and so the pain in her chest wasn't as bad as what you're feeling. However with you your magical core has a second form of magic flowing into it but that's as far as it goes so it isn't harming your Wizarding magic and seems to be combining with it. Poppy thinks that when you banished the Dementors it emptied half of your core which allowed your dormant Fairy magic to become active and start filling the empty half of your core. However your Fairy magic would be equal to the magic you had in a full core and so as your Wizarding magic filled your core again your Fairy magic basically doubled its size. Unfortunately this happens over a period of time so your core wouldn't rupture and you would lose your magic for the rest of your life, however long or short that might be. Now as for your Fairy Wings which are trying to come through your back, their growth is keyed to your magic combining so when that happens your Wings will grow out and that will be the end of it. However this transformation is different for every one who goes through it but it never lasts longer than a month and can be as quick as ten days."
"Thanks Professor. Is there anything else that I need to know or is that it?"
"Well Harry just three more things and then that's it so I'll start with the one that will take the least amount of time. First is that while you're here you will not be confined to the hospital wing although Madam Pomfrey will want you to stay here for a few days for observation and after that you can move about the school and grounds as long as you comply with your treatment for the transformation. The second is that when you do start leaving the hospital would you be able to come to my office. You see Harry I was waiting until your fourth year to pass some information concerning you and your accounts at Gringotts and what you mean to the Wizarding world apart from your fame so we can cover that early. Lastly Harry with your transformation it means you will never be going back to the Dursley's as it would bring the wards down and to be honest if I found out what I know now you wouldn't have gone back so either way you'll be staying here at Hogwarts at least until your fourteenth birthday then after that it's up to you. Now Harry can you please explain about the clear signs of abuse in your own time?"
Harry had laid there and listened to what Dumbledore was saying at least until the end when he asked about the abuse. When he heard that Harry clamed up right up and didn't say anything and just stared straight up. Dumbledore just waited for a few seconds and just watched Harry's reaction but it was now obvious as to what was going on since he had only a few suspects.
"Harry, may I ask how long your Aunt and Uncle have been abusing you?" Harry's eyes just shot straight towards Dumbledore with both fear and curiosity reflected in them. "I'm afraid Harry that the signs of abuse are now quite clear. When you first started at Hogwarts I thought it was just that you didn't eat much and kept active. However as the year went on I noticed you do things that would contradict this. Then you went back to the Dursley's and when you came back after the summer you had obviously had lost most of the weight that you had gained and again throughout the year you gained what you lost back and repeated it again through your last year here. Now that on its own wouldn't point towards abuse alone and there are other reasons for such however now it points directly at abuse. Harry with your new transformation you need both a potion to sooth the pain in your chest and you need a cream rubbed into your back for that pain. When Madam Pomfrey removed your shirt and turned you over and saw the scars on you back she called me back down here where I too saw the evidence. Now this is where I start to wonder where you could've been to obtain this abuse and I kept coming back to only one conclusion and by how you reacted when I asked about your Aunt and Uncle now confirms my suspicions."
All Harry could think of was that his deepest darkest secret was now known to Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey and he didn't know how to handle it. However what was worse was that Dumbledore had nailed it right on the head as to who had done this to him. Still the only comfort was that they didn't seem to know everything about what the abuse entailed.
"Harry before you start thinking that we don't know the extent of the abuse I should tell you that there are spells which could tell us. As such Madam Pomfrey has got a complete record of what happened and when it happened. However neither she nor I can act on it, well we could but since we have no physical evidence that it was your Aunt and Uncle that abused you and without you giving evidence then not much could be done about it. So I'll tell you what I'm going to do, I'm going to leave the hospital and you're going to think on this and decide if it would be better if they faced justice. You see Harry if there's one thing that I truly hate seeing and that's a student being abused for any reason and it's also against the law in both worlds Harry. However please remember this while you do think it's easy to leave this behind and do nothing about it however the right thing would also be the hardest thing to do by telling what they did and them being punished for what they did. At the end of the day Harry it's up to you but either way you won't be going back to them as long as I'm around. I can keep you here until your fourteenth but after that, well you would be surprised after we have had our talk in my office."
After that Dumbledore stood up and after patting Harry on the shoulder he turned and left the hospital wing. Harry for his part just lay there panicking at what they knew about his abuse and he didn't know how to react too that. After a few minutes he started calming down and when he was calm he thought on what Dumbledore had said about him not going back to the Dursley's. He was hopeful that he wouldn't but as his Uncle had always said if he said anything no one would care and he would just be sent back and he would get beat for it. Harry was stuck either way and if he told he would just get sent back to his Aunt and Uncle and if he said nothing he would still get sent back to them. Either way his future didn't look good because as soon as he went back, the Dursley's would beat him since another Wizard had entered their house. Harry's panic started coming back again and the more he thought about the Dursley's the worse it got until finally he couldn't take it any more and fainted.
