Two and a half weeks later

Harry sighed as he relaxed back into the lounge chair that he was currently sitting on the Malfoy family garden. He had to admit that it was one beautiful garden. Savannah had let him out of the hospital two days ago but made sure that he knew that he was too rest as much as possible and that he wasn't allowed to do any magic for at least the next month both possibly longer. He also knew that she would be coming to check on him daily and if he was honest he didn't mind that at all just as long as he was no longer stuck in a hospital room.

A slight smile was on his face as he looked at all the different flowers surrounding him. The one thing he didn't mind much when living with the Dursley's was the cooking and the gardening. But he also knew that there was no way in hell that he would have ever been able to get the garden at the Dursley's to look anywhere near what this one looked like. He could tell that it was tended with loving hands because of all the flowers that had bloomed and are still blooming. He figured that when Lucius, Severus, Draco, Hermione, Luna, Neville, Amelia, or Susan came out that he would ask one of them to help him walk around the garden.

He understood the fact that he had to take it easy but that didn't mean he couldn't take short walks through this very beautiful garden. If anything he knew that the fresh air and light exercise would help him just like the physical therapy he is going though does and possibly maybe even more. He wanted to see every inch of the extensive garden and see what flowers or plants are growing in it. He had no doubt that in the coming several weeks that he would be spending a lot of time in the garden to help him relax and let everything go even just for a while since he had trials that he would be attending starting next week.

He sighed and let his eyes fall shut as he remembered the conversation he had with Arthur and his five oldest children while he was in the hospital.

****Flashback****

On the fourth day after he came out of the coma that he had been in he was visited by Arthur, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, and George Weasley. He gave them a smile when he saw how nervous they were about coming to see him. "Come on in guys."

Arthur walked in and over to Harry's bed and looked at the young man he had and still did think of as a son. "Harry, I am so sorry for what happened to you. I am sorry for what Molly, Ronald, and Ginevra has done to you. I want you to know that I have divorced Molly and I disowned Ronald and Ginevra. I want to make it up to you for what they have done."

Harry shook his head slowly as he stared into Arthur's eyes. "You have nothing to be sorry about, Mr. Weasley. What Molly, Ron, and Ginny did is on them and them only. You are not responsible for anything that they have done to me or had planned on doing to me. They made their own choices and now they will have to live with the consequences of their actions. I will not allow you to make it up to me on what they did, Mr. Weasley. You didn't know and didn't even suspect them of doing or being so underhanded. You are a victim in this as much as I am. When I found out what they had done I had no doubt that you were not involved in it. I knew that you were too moral to do something like that. If you feel like you have to make anything up to me then continue doing what you have been doing which is acting like a father towards me. Merlin knows I can never have enough father figures in my life with as much trouble I seem to get into unwittingly. Deal?"

Arthur smiled at Harry and nodded. "Deal, Harry, but only if you call me Arthur or even dad if you would like too. Now how are you doing, son? I am glad to see you awake finally just like I know my sons are."

Harry smiled slightly. "I'm not doing good but I'm doing better than I have been. Savannah had to regrow every single one of my bones in my legs, feet, arms, and hands so I am in quite a bit of pain. Lucky for me Severus and/or Lucius have been here around the clock to help me when I need it. I can't walk on my own but they help me when I need to go to the bathroom or even shower. Severus is the one who gives me my potions because I won't take them from anyone else until he checks them over. Lucius thankfully has been dealing with the Administrator staff because they were starting to get mad that their Healers couldn't enter the room. If I'm not mistaken at one point Amelia lit into the Administrator because of something he said. Needless to say since then they haven't put up a fight about the security that has been put into place. You all are on the approved list of visitors as is Remus, Hermione, Augusta and Neville Longbottom, Susan Bones, Draco, Professor McGonagall, Kingsley, Moody, Andromeda, and Tonks. Of course Severus and Lucius are also on the approved list."

Bill nodded. "I was the one who helped to ward your hospital room, Harry. Amelia came to me and asked that I help because she wanted to make sure that nobody that wasn't approved couldn't get in. I think she was worried about unregistered animagus getting in. I am happy to see that you look better than you did when we first saw you. I was asked to pass a message onto you, Harry. Ragnok and Griphook wanted me to let you know that they have recovered all of the items and money that was taken from you. They also wanted me to let you know that they are now going through your vaults to check for any dark items like you asked and they will put them into another vault until you decide what it is that you want to do with them. Now on a personal note, Harry, I am happy to tell you that no matter what you are and always will be my younger brother. When you get out of here I expect to be able to see you regularly."

Harry chuckled. "That can be arranged, Bill. Charlie, Percy, Fred, and George, I want to tell you I'm glad to see you. I hope that you all are doing well."

Percy huffed and shook his head. "It should be us telling you that, Harry. I want to apologize for the way I acted towards you in your fourth and fifth year. I can understand if you can't forgive me."

Harry huffed and waved a hand. "It is water under a bridge, Percy. I forgave you right after it happened. Just promise that you won't ever act like that again and we will go back to being brothers like we should be."

Percy smiled. "I promise, Harry."

Charlie chuckled. "Now this is what family is all about. I'm happy to see you sitting up at least partly, Harry. If you need anything be sure to let me know."

Harry shot a smile at Charlie. "Thank you, Charlie. Fred and George how goes the shop?"

George smirked. "The shop is going great, Harry. Are you sure that you're doing alright?"

Harry sighed. "Savannah Malfoy who is my Healer said that everything is healing nicely even though I will have to take it easy for the next several weeks. I'm not allowed to do magic for at least a month but probably longer because my core needs to heal from where it pretty much depleted itself trying to keep me alive. Any magic used on me has to be monitored. Apparently my neck and skull were fractured along with having a broken back. Those were the worst injuries but I had others as well. So while I may not be one hundred percent just yet I am slowly getting better."

Fred let out a relieved sigh. "I hope that something is being done about your so called relatives. Harry, I know in the past you have been willing to let it go but you can't keep doing that to yourself. You need to make them pay for what they have done to you and possibly someone else."

Harry looked at Fred in shock at his words but nodded slowly. "I never thought about the fact that they could hurt someone else. I know that I can't let them get away with it again, Fred, and I promise you that I'm not. I have already talked to Amelia and she is having them tried in our world. She has charged Petunia and Vernon both with neglect, child endangerment, child abuse, embezzlement, and attempted murder. Dudley is being charged with aggravated assault and attempted murder. They will finally learn just why you shouldn't hurt or mess with a wizard. They are all going to wish that they had never heard my name by the time it is all said and done. Dumbledore is being charged with kidnapping, child endangerment, theft, embezzlement, attempted line theft, illegally sealing a will of an Ancient and Noble house, and he is being charged with several other charges I can't remember the names of including putting blocks on my magic. I'm sorry to say that Molly, Ron, and Ginny are all being charged with theft and attempted line theft."

Arthur shook his head as he looked at Harry with fatherly love in his eyes. "You have nothing to be sorry about, Harry. If I can't blame myself then you can't blame yourself. As you said they did what they did knowing that it was wrong so they have to live with the consequences. Right now all that matters is that you get better as fast as you can. When you get out of here we'll schedule a dinner together for all of us."

Harry smiled as he shifted in his hospital bed to where he was laying down. He couldn't stop a yawn from escaping. "I would like that, Arthur. I'm sorry guys but I'm tired. Some of the potions that they have me on make me sleepy."

Arthur nodded. "You get some sleep, son, and we'll come back and see you tomorrow. If you need us before then send word."

Harry smiled at everyone one last time as his eyes drifted shut.

****End of flashback****

Harry opened his eyes when he felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up. "Good afternoon, Severus."

Severus smiled slightly at the boy he had come to think of as a son in the last couple of weeks. "Good afternoon, Harry. How are you doing today?"

Harry smiled a big smile. "Today seems to be a good day, Severus. I'm not sure if it is because of the potions that you gave me early this morning or if it is because I'm out here in the fresh air and smelling the roses so to speak."

Severus chuckled at that. "More than likely it is a combination of both, Harry. If I may ask what were you thinking about so hard a few minutes ago? I called your name several times and you didn't respond to me at all. I was starting to get worried."

Harry sighed and ran a hand down his face. "I was thinking about the first time I saw the Weasley's after I came out of the coma. I know that even though I told him not to that Arthur is blaming himself for what happened to me. I just wish that I knew of a way to make him see that I don't blame him at all for what his ex wife and children did to me. Some people do things that they know that they shouldn't just because they want something that they can't have. I really don't want to think about it anymore right now. Do you think we could go for a walk around this beautiful garden?"

Severus nodded and helped Harry stand up. "You have to let me know when you are starting to feel tired because you can't afford to overdue it right now. Are you interested in gardening?"

Harry nodded as he walked slowly beside the man he was slowly coming to see as another father. "It was one of the chores that I actually liked that the Dursley's gave to me. I hate that my hands would get blistered and red from all the work that I did because I was never allowed to take any pain relief medicine but I loved working on the garden. I find that it has a soothing effect on me when I work on planting things or even just weeding. I love the smell of fresh flowers so right now I am in heaven."

Severus laughed at that. "I can understand that, Harry. You have went through things that you never should have had to go through. I'm not going to push you to talk about it right this second but eventually you're going to need to talk to someone. You can't take the chance of letting everything build up to the point that you blow up at someone because of it. I know that you wouldn't blow up on purpose but you never know what can happen. I just want to make sure that you know that I am here to listen if you ever do want to talk about."

Harry stayed silent for several minutes as they walked and thought about what Severus said to him. He knew that the older man was right but he just didn't know where to start. "Petunia knew how much I loved to garden so she always destroyed what I did and then would make me redo it because she wanted the best looking garden in the neighborhood. I lost count how many times I had to plant different flowers because of her pettiness. I just know that every single time she destroyed what I had worked so hard on it felt like I lost a piece of myself because I put my everything into making the garden look as good it did. There was one time when I had planted lilies and when she saw them she threw one hell of a fit that resulted in the police being called because a neighbor saw her hit me."

He stopped talking and let out a long sigh. "My life was never easy with them. I never got to blossom to my full potential because they would always knock me down. I don't even have the energy to hate them but yet I do if that makes any sense. They got off on making my life hell and right now all I feel is relief that it is finally over. I know that no matter the outcome of their trial that they will never get to lay another hand on me ever again. The person I'm the most angry with is Dumbledore. I don't get what he thought he would achieve by doing the things that he has done to me. I don't get why he thought it was alright to make sure a baby that he apparently knew was left with magic hating people. I hate Dumbledore because if it hadn't been for him I might have had a loving family or at least one who didn't beat on me day in and day out. A part of me even wonders now if the prophecy was a true one or if he had it staged. I did request Amelia to ask him that and she agreed. I need to know that it was a true one because if it wasn't and my parents died for no other reason than Dumbledore wanted to be seen as a hero again I will utterly destroy him piece by piece."

Severus stopped abruptly and turned his head to look at Harry in shock. He hadn't even thought about the fact that the prophecy could have been staged. "In your heart what do you think is the truth, Harry? Do you think Dumbledore set the prophecy up just so that he eventually could be seen as the great wizard he thinks that he is again?"

Harry sighed and ran a hand through his hair as he stared at the flowers surrounding him. "My heart and my head are both telling me that he staged the whole thing. He wanted Voldemort to overhear it and target my parents for some reason that I have yet to figure out. I think that he made sure that they would die one way or another but wanted to make sure that it couldn't be traced back to him. I don't know why I feel that way but I do. I mean everything else he set up so why not that too?"

Severus sighed and shook his head. "I don't know, Harry, but I know that Amelia will find out for you one way or another. Just remember that no matter what you find out that you're not alone. Remember that you have people who care for you, people who love you, and people who would do whatever it takes to make sure that you come through all this in one piece. Now how do you feel that you have talked about everything some?"

Harry blushed slightly at the look on Severus' face. "I feel lighter. I don't feel as if I'm carrying a heavy weight around on my shoulder any longer. Thank you for listening, Severus."

Severus smiled. "I will always listen if you need to talk, Harry. Do you wish to continue walking or would you prefer to head back and sit on the lounge?"

Harry groaned. "As much as I would love to continue walking through this beautiful garden I think I better go back to the lounge. My feet and legs are starting to hurt some."

Severus nodded and wrapped an arm around Harry's waist to keep him upright and guided him back to the chaise lounge. Once he had Harry settled onto it he wasn't surprised to see the younger man's eyes drift shut as he fell to sleep quickly. He smiled to himself and sat back in a chair as he watched over Harry. He knew that Harry was healing and that was all that mattered.
