"Chapter Two: Welcome to White Rose (part 2)"

~ Two hours Earlier ~

(Dr. Thornson's POV)

I really enjoy my line of work. I like working with the children and helping them find new, loving families. Though not many get adopted due to... Certain problems they have. But it's not their faults, they can't help being the way they are. Most of the children here come from abusive or just plain unsafe environments for kids to be growing up in.

It was then around lunch time that one of my coworkers, Martha, walked up to me.

"Dr. Thornson, there's a man by the name of 'Vernon Dursley' your presence is requested." Martha said, obviously relaying an already spoken message.

I nodded. "Is Mr. Dursley Adopting or dropping off?" I asked Martha.

"He's dropping of his nephew, sir." Martha answered.

I sighed. Just another child being abandoned here, I thought sullenly. "I'd better get over there then. Can you call for Nurse Rosemary as well? I'd like to do an examination of Mr. Dursley's nephew, see what will be needed for the child." Martha nodded and started walking off to find Nurse Rosemary. I intern started to head for the waiting room where Mr. Dursley and his nephew were said to be.

When I arrived, I was met by a large man that I could't help but think resembled a walrus very well.
"Hello, you must be Mr. Dursley," I said, putting my hand out in front of Mr. Dursley to shake, "my name is Dr. Mike Thornson, I'm one of the head doctors here." Mr. Dursley beamed a very crooked grin at me and began to shake my hand rapidly.

"Yes, thank you so much Dr. Thornson for excepting my nephew for treatment, my wife and I wouldn't know what to without you." Mr. Dursley said esthetically. "Poor Harrys been getting worse and worse since his parents died from the car crash, he won't eat anything and worst of all... He constantly cuts or maims himself in other ways. Other times he's through himself down the stairs and burned his hands on the stove top on purpose! Just last week he had convinced my son Dudley, who is about the same age as him, to help whip himself! Doctor, you have to help him! Please!"

I place a hand on Mr. Dursley's shoulder trying to comfort him. "Do not fret, sir. Our facility is top of the rate and will take good care of your nephew until his has recover." I told him. He nodded, and I continued speaking. "But first there are some papers that will need to be signed; one of them is a temporary hand over of guardianship to the White Rose staff."

"Yes. Yes, of course! Anything to help Harry!" Mr. Dursley agreed immediately. At that same moment Nurse Rosemary entered with a two clipboards in hand.

"I'm sorry for keeping you two waiting," she started, handing a clipboard with several papers that were to be signed to Mr. Dursley, "if you could go ahead and fill these out while we get your nephew settled into his new room."

Mr. Dursly nodded and began to scribble out the required information on to the papers. Things like names, any food allergies, phobias, anything we would need to know about his nephew. 'Harry' was what he had said the boys name was.

Essentially handing him over to our care for years to come.

(Third Preson POV)

It's been one hour and twenty-six minutes since Mr. Durleys drove off in his car. Thirteen minutes since Dr. Thornson and Nurse Rosemary put Harry (or as we know him as 'Boy') in his new room. It has one enter minute of silence he spoke.

Dr. Thornson stared at Boy - Boy stared at Dr. Thornson. Finally Rosemary coughed and said, "Um, well Harry dear, you're at White Rose; Orphanage Hospital for Children with... Er... Unique problems." She usually felt that it was inappropriate to say 'mental problems' in front of the children here, as it seemed to only upset them and cause them to become violent at times.

Boy titled his head in confusion. White Rose? Orphanage hospital? So Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia finally got fed up with my freakishness... Boy thought, drooping his head down. Well at least I'm not dead. (yet)

Well that's chapter two. I'm both pleased and surprised that this got so much feed-back from its' readers. I actually just made this series on a small whim of an idea. Who knew mental hospital stories were so popular among Harry Potter fans...

Anyway I'd like to thank Le Diablo Blanc2, KiyUzumaki, elvesknightren, love00dark, (guest) z, and wise-wren-owl for your awesome reviews!
Especially in wise-wren-owl's case as I hate misspelling words in my stories, so I'd like to give you a special white-mint chocolate frog as thanks to your help in making my stories nicer to read for future readers to come. :)

Third chapter coming soon!
Thank you again for your reviews!
