Chapter two

Harry was struggling to walk, he had done something to his ankle when Vernon had dropped him. He wasn't feeling too good anyway. He hadn't eaten in a week and a half, his left wrist was aching more than usual, one eye was swollen shut and he was still bleeding slight from the violation the previous evening.

He had lost a lot of blood, blood that he had been made to clear up afterwards. He was feeling extremely light headed and was struggling to breathe, he was guessing that his ribs were cracked as it hurt a lot.

He walked for two hours with no direction in mind, just walking. He knew he was heading in the direction of London. He thought he stood a better chance there than in the suburbs.

However he didn't make it into London, he did get close though. It was fortunate that when he collapsed from exhaustion, hunger and dehydration that someone saw.

It was the middle of August and he was wearing jeans two sizes too big with a makeshift belt made of shoelaces holding them up and a t-shirt that was three sizes too large. He hadn't had a bath in days, it was lucky that he didn't smell of urine. If someone hadn't seen him collapse then he might have just been left, disregarded as a tramp.

The last thing that Harry remembered thinking was that his feet were frozen. He didn't own socks and the soles of the too small trainers he had on were full of holes. Overall he looked a little pathetic.

The young man who had seen him collapse called an Ambulance and he was rushed to hospital, something that the poor boy desperately needed.

The young man had insisted on going with him and staying with Harry until he found his relatives, his name was Draco and seeing as he was the same age as Harry his father stayed with him as well. Draco's mother, Narcissa, took his ten year old twin sisters Elvira and Melody and his seven year old brother Cassius home.

The Malfoy family were well known and the normal rules didn't really apply to them. They had donated millions to the hospital and therefore no information about Harry was with held from them and both father and son were horrified to hear the various injuries that the young man had been dealt.

The hospital staff informed them that it was probably that he had been raped over ten times if not more, he had also been beaten consistently for years and some injuries would never heal fully.

"Who could do that to another person?" Draco asked in horror.

Lucius looked stern after the information that he was given, "I don't know but he can't be allowed to go back to that. I'm going to call in Albus and Severus, they'll be able to help with this."

"So we're going to help him?" Draco asked.

"Yes, we are, I believe this young man has suffered enough." Lucius responded.

Albus Dumbledore was chief of police in London and Severus was Head of Social Services for the borough they lived in. They were good friends with Lucius and often did a lot of business dealings together.

He had done a lot of favours for both Albus and Severus throughout the years and now he was going to ask one of them in return. It was clear that Draco had taken a shine to this poor boy and to be honest Lucius was feeling as if it was now his duty to help. Lucius knew that he lived a charmed life with his wife and his four children.

The fact that he had seen this young boy collapse from exhaustion, hunger and dehydration was horrifying for him. He felt as if he had to help this poor boy.
