Tonks had to make a few quick stops to pick up a couple of things before she arrived at the front yard of the Dursley's.
Looking into the driveway she didn't see Vernon's car in the drive. Good the fat one isn't here, that will make this a lot easier. Tonks'plan was pretty straight forward. Make his family feel what Harry felt and work it so Harry would never have to return to this hellhole ever again.
Walking up to the front door Tonks rang the doorbell and waited. It was only a few seconds later when the door was swung open to reveal Mrs. Horse face herself.
Before petunia could even finish scrunching up her face in disgust Tonks had pulled out her wand and stunned her. Quickly looking around to make sure she wasn't noticed Tonks flicked her wand and levitated Petunia into the lounge room and dropped her onto the two seater couch.
Kicking the front door as she passed Tonks ran up the stairs doing a quick survey of the area to see if anyone else was home.
Thanking the 'powers that be' that they were alone Tonks re-entered the lounge and stood in front of Harry's aunt.
"Its time I learned the truth" Tonks thought to herself
Tonks pointed her wand at Petunia and cast a quick ennervate. Jumping in quickly before the the older women could get a sound off Tonks fired off the spell that would confirm or deny her fears
Legilimens!
Tonks dived into Petunia mind and started searching through all the memory's of Harry she could find.
A small baby boy no more than 18 months old was crying in the corner of small bedroom. Sudden thumping stifled the cries of the baby for a mere second before his cries intensified. A shout later and Petunia walked over to the infant. Petunia picked up the child which had strikingly green eyes and a small scar on his forehead and Strapped him into a baby carrier. Petunia carried the child downstairs until she reached a small plain cupboard located just under the stairs. Making sure the blanket was secured around the child petunia placed the carrier inside the dusty cupboard and closed the door, muffling the baby's cries. No-one came to check on the child until much later in the morning.
Another memory of a 5 year old Harry running through the front door of the house only to stand in front of Petunia slightly muddy with blood dripping from his nose. Petunia looked at the boy in abject horror.
"what the hell do you think you are doing traipsing through the house like you own it." Harry tried to interrupt by pointing outside to the boys waiting for him.
" I will not have you messing up my house with all the mud, now get out!!"
With a tremor of fear Harry shook his head at his aunt and said
"They going to hurt me" he sniffed.
With a resounding crack Petunia slapped young Harry across the face.
"DO NOT talk back to me you filthy child, now get yourself outside this instant and don't come back until Vernon gets home to teach you a lesson about talking back to your betters"
With tears streaming down his face Harry opened the front door and walked back outside to the sound of jeering children.
After Vernon got home that night it was the first time of many that Petunia had to take young Harry to the hospital.
Harry at the age of 8 maybe 9 sat on the stool in the kitchen getting his head shaved. The only expression on his face was that of severe disappointment and anger. Once she had finished Petunia took a look at her work. The only hair left on the top of Harry's head was a thin layer of fuzz. Nodding to herself she sent Harry to his room. Harry took one look at his reflection in the window before storming off to the cupboard under the stairs.
The next day as Petunia walked in on Harry cooking breakfast she let out a shrill shriek. The stood Harry on a stool with his hair just the way he usually had it. A full mop of messy raven-black hair on his head.
Loud thumps were heard as Vernon came storming down the stairs and stood right next to Petunia. Harry looked up with fear in his eyes as Vernon looked at Harry.
Vernon reached out and grabbed Harry by the scruff of his shirt and pulled him off the stool and out the room.
Petunia heard Harry struggling as they made their way back upstairs while Petunia continued the cooking that Harry had started. All of a sudden Petunia heard a smack quickly followed by a cry out from Harry.
Making a quick decision Petunia walked over to the lounge and turned the Tv on and the volume up.
'Cant let the neighbors hear' she thought to herself as she went back to cooking.
For the next hour all that could be hear from Number 4 was the sound of the morning news as well as the periodic crack of someone hitting something that sounded like a punching bag.
Tonks spent the next 10 minutes going through all the memory's that Petunia had of Harry's life growing up. Tonks noticed that Petunia rarely contributed to the violence that was visited upon Harry frequently but she never once lifted a finger to help him.
It was as if she spent those years trying to ignore Harry's existence.
Pulling out of Petunia's mind Tonks had to fight hard against the urge to straight out kill the women in front of her.
"What did you do to me" Petunia snobbed.
Tonks just ignored her question and threw a spell at her
"Silenco"
"Now listen to me women. For years you have ignored what has happened to Harry and now you get to see first hand what it has been like for Harry"
Before Petunia could react Tonks had re-stunned the women and with a flick of her wrist had her floating behind her as she went up the stairs. Taking two at a time Tonks walked right into Harry's room.
Barely taking a glance around the room Tonks turned around and floated Petunia to the bare wall before sticking her to it with a series of complex charms.
"I want you to see what exactly Harry went through every time you turned that TV up a little louder, every time you ignored the sound of you husband punching Harry as if he were nothing" Tonks hissed.
Still silenced Petunia couldn't do anything as she watched the now black haired women pick something off Harry's pillow and put in a vial of liquid.
All of a sudden both women heard the front door open and close. Glancing up sharply Tonks ran out of the room to see who the next intruder was.
Petunia heard a slight shuffle and had to wait 5 minutes before Tonks walked back in with a unconscious, floating one Harry Potter back into the room.
Placing Harry on the bed Tonks continued to look around the sparse bedroom
Half an hour they waited as Tonks continued to walk around trying to feel what the life was like for the Boy-who-lived. As the time progressed Tonks started to fret. Too much longer and everything would be a mess.
Yet again they heard the front door open. Tonks just gave the most evil smile she had to Petunia as she pulled on her invisibility cloak that she had under her cloak.
Within minutes of finding no-one at home Vernon came crashing into Harry's room.
Tonks quickly rushed to the side of the room to get out of the way as Vernon made a bee-line for the unconscious form on the bed.
"WAKE UP YOU VILE TONGUED MISCRIANT"
The Harry potter that was lying on the bed woke up instantly wide eyed staring up at the obese man.
"dad i-" Harry was cut off suddenly as a large fist came crashing down into his face.
"I AM NOT RELATED TO YOUR FREAKISHNESS, HOW DARE YOU!!"
Not being able to form his rage into anything meaningful Vernon just repeated the beating he gave Harry the night before.
Tonks was in shock. In the small amount of time that she had been an Auror, it was the first time she had ever seen something like this. It made her so sick to the stomach just to watch what Vernon was doing that she nearly stopped what was happening.
Only after 20 minutes of watching the severe beating Vernon was issuing that Tonks finally stepped in.
Not noticing that there was even another person in the room Vernon never saw the fist that connected to the side of his head until he was flat out on the floor. He finally got a good look at the woman with the red hair and black eyes just before she lashed out with her foot with as much power as possible that caught him right between the legs. Venting Tonks continued kicking the man while he was down. If there was any doubt that Vernon would never again be able to sire children than that first kick and the ones that followed were a certainty. As she turned to walk away Tonks deliberately stomped on Vernon's outstretched hand crushing almost all the bones in his hand.
As the man crumpled into a fetal position holding his hand, Tonks turned to the wall that had Petunia still stuck to it. With tears running down her face Tonks canceled the disillusion spell and looked the pale faced Petunia in the eyes.
With a voice barely heard above the wimperings of the men on the floor Tonks started talking.
"I have never seen so much hate and neglect in a household before in my life. My day job is as an Auror prepares you for stuff like this, but...its a whole new thing when it happens to a close friend. To someone who would give up his own life for another in a heart beat. To someone so filled with goodness that you just want to shield him from the ugly truths of the world only to find that he has lived in it his whole life"
As she had started talking Tonks was looking at the ground trying to get a hold onto her feelings without accidentally killing someone.
"If people ever found out what you people, his so-called family, did to him I highly doubt you would survive the day. Majority of magical people know and idolize him as the boy-who-lived and the rest would just kill you for what you are, simple plain old muggles, and yet him staying here was the only thing saving you from them"
Slowly Tonks voice became hard, cold as ice.
"From this day forth Harry will never return here to stay. Lily would be turning over in her grave for what you people have put her son through."
All of a sudden Tonks wand started to vibrate. Startled out of her tirade she quickly looked at Harry and mumbled under her breath to stop it.
"I wanted you to see what Harry had to deal with while you shunted thoughts of him aside. Now I want you to feel what many other people would feel if they realised what you were doing to their friend, their brother...their son..."
As Tonks said the last word something odd was happening to the Harry on the bed. He was suddenly getting rounder and more pudgy. All too soon it was apparent that it wasn't really Harry potter at all. Instead it was the broken body of one Dudley Dursley.
Petunia had turned white at the realization that her only son beaten nearly to death by his own father. She started to once again struggle against the invisible bonds that had stuck her to the wall.
"This is just a taste of what happened while you lived in your self imposed ignorance. Now Petunia you can never again ignore this. How do you think Lilly would feel seeing her only son abused like this every week of his life that he spent here? If the roles were reversed and Dudley was left with the Potters, would they have treated him life filth? Would they have beaten him like you husband just beat your son? No. They would have loved and cherished him as their own. Like you should have done"
With those parting words Tonks turned and left. Leaving a sobbing women holding her bleeding son to her breast while her husband whimpered in the corner.
Closing the door behind her Tonks rested her head against the door. Taking a deep breath she sent off a message spell to a friend that work for the local muggle police before walking down the stairs and out the front door.
She knew that Harry should never come back here. Deep down she knew that if it was left up to Dumbledore that Harry would be forced to come back here to those people. She had to make sure that wasn't an option.
Deciding to wait in the front yard for the muggle police to arrive Tonks started to think about what to do when the Order found out Harry was missing. It wasn't a matter of if they found out Harry was gone but when. Knowing Harry wouldn't want people delving into his life with the muggles Tonks decided it might be prudent to tell the truth. Just maybe not the whole truth. That Vernon and petunia Dursley were being charged with assault against there son and were being sent to jail for a very long time.
Hearing sirens in the distance Tonks didn't have to wait long before the blue flashing lights signaled the arrival of the local police.
Stepping out of the squad car was a man and a women in standard police uniform. The man took a quick look around as the women came and stood right in front of Tonks.
Sarah was about average hight with mousy colored hair in a tight bun. Kingsley had introduced them when Tonks had first been let out into the field. On the rare occasion that muggles had committed crimes against wizards people like Sarah were called in to arrest and help in persecuting the offenders.
Sarah knew of the magical world but lived apart form it as she was a squib. Which helped in situations like these.
"Wotcher there Sarah" Tonks announced.
"Morning there Tonks, what have you got for us?"
"Male muggle has been abusing a young wizard since he was a little boy. The kid was beaten nearly to death last night but is recovering in our custody. The muggle Vernon has been beating on him almost every week since he was about 3 years old. The wife has always known about the beating and just let them happen. Their son is a delinquent that I think you will find has been terrorizing this neighborhood for a few years"
Sarah just nodded as she wrote all the facts down before taking a look around to make sure her partner wasn't close by.
"Anything 'special' that I have to know about?" Sarah whispered.
Taking a deep breath Tonks nodded.
"It would be a huge favour to me if you could question them all personally. I want you to use veritaserum on all of them and you must, to the best of your ability, leave the name of the Victim out of everything"
Sarah was nodding along with Tonks until she said the last bit.
"Tonks you know how this works. Well need the vics name if we are going to be able to do anything to these guys."
Tonks frowned. "How bout I tell you the name and you only? Then you will understand why I don't want anyone to know who he is."
Sarah just sighed and nodded.
"Its Harry Potter"
Sarah's eyes widened. "No bloody wonder you don't want anyone to know! If anyone from your side was to get wind of this it would be a literal shit storm! They probably wouldn't survive an hour
now that hes back in everyones good books."
Tonks just nodded sadly
"Look Sarah I have to go check on him so can you deal with this please? I may have left things a little messy up there but I assure you that they are all breathing."
Sarah just scowled and nodded.
"Its been happening for years you said?"
Tonks nodded.
"The you would have no objection if they say...resisted arrest?"
Tonks finally smiled at the officer.
"Oh no, no objection at all"
Quickly saying there goodbyes Tonks left the now crowded seen to Apparate away. If she had stayed just a few minutes longer she would have heard the shouts and screams as The Dursley's were forced from there home broken and bleeding by unsympathetic police officers.
She would also have seen the Wide eyed Mrs Figg holding a ginger cat run as fast as she could back to her home to alert the Order.
Tonks arrived back in the foyer of the Bone's home. Giving Susan only a quick nod before bounding up the stairs to where Harry lay, still sleeping. Away from prying eyes Tonks finally let go of all the emotions she had been struggling to contain.
Walking over to the bed with tears falling freely down her face she climbed into bed with the still slumbering teen. Being aware of his injuries she hugged Harry to her body and sobbed into his shoulder.
"Why couldn't you tell us Harry? Why did you let them do this to you?"
"Ill make you a promise Harry" Sniffed Tonks.
"I promise that for as long as you'll have me, ill show you what its like to finally have joy in your life. You've never really had that you see. You love the time at school with your friends but do you really know what its like to live?"
"I promise to help you find that thing. The thing that makes us all continue on when life just keeps giving us shit"
"I'll always be there for you Harry" cried Tonks.
Tonks continued to cry into Harry shoulder for hours until she finally fell into a restless sleep.
Peeking through the door before closing it softly behind her Amelia crept back downstairs to her frantic niece.
"Aunty is everything going to be ok?"
Amelia just smiled at her.
"Susan I think for the first time in a while things are looking a lot better for young Harry"
and maybe for Tonks too
