The Four Steps to Hell
Chapter 2: From Sea to Shining Sea
Travel across the pond,
From the land you are no longer fond,
To escape the trials of hate,
And begin your path of fate,
Fear not, your new world that surrounds you,
Know in times of need, this is where you flew
-Corvus Nyx
Harry, became conscious two days later. As he attempted to open his eyes, he immediately shut them, the pain of light hurting his eyes. "Wait light?" Harry thought to himself "Where is the light from? Oh my god, I'm dead. Uncle Vernon let me die, I'm dead." Harry panicked and open his eyes wide, through the pain and suffering, he needed to see what heaven was like. Harry looked around once his eyes adjusted and realized he was in a bed, with some type of device next to him, and a plastic cord stuck in his arm.
"Well young sir, you gave us all a fright, are you alright?" Said a lady with a white uniform on, and a red cross across her name tag, which read, "Nurse Naomi."
"I, I don't know. Where am I?"Harry said honestly.
"A hospital, we were wondering, what had happened to you. Do you suppose you could tell me?" The Nurse asked kindly.
"No my uncle would get mad," Harry said and looked away, suddenly appearing not interested in the lady, or her words.
"I pinky promise I won't tell you uncle" She said sticking out her pinking for him to take.
"I won't tell you, I can't get him mad" Harry mumbled afraid to look at her.
"I guess I simply won't tell you where you are, or when you are getting out. While you are here however you will have to speak to a therapist."
"What's a therapist?"
"Someone who will talk to you about your problems, and help you make sense of them."
"Oh," Harry looked away, upset, he would have to tell someone about home, and that was forbidden.
Harry laid there in the quite as the Nurse just stared at him, not sure what to do with the poor boy. A loud bang sounded and Harry jumped suddenly terror flashing in his eyes and there stood a man.
This man, from what Harry could tell, was wearing a weird red scale looking bath robe, which was covered in medals, and had a large symbol on it of a golden dragon on his right breast. The man had black hair tied back and a sword on his hip. Harry could only see the sheath of the sword which was pure black. The man looked about 30, he was about 6 feet tall. He had no idea how much the man weighed however, his robe obstructed any guesses on that part.
"Major General Nyx," She saluted, "What may I do for you sir?"
"The General is extremely interested in why we have a young boy here," Major General Nyx said.
"He apparated here sir, we don't know where from, but as you know he landed in the middle of a training session for the privates." The nurse informed Nyx.
"Well must we keep him here?"
"If we do not locate his family sir, the law states that we as the UNM, must take him in as a ward."
"If we don't locate his family, who is he dictated to go to?"
"Well, in most cases, which are rare, he goes to an officer, sir" The nurse told him.
"Fine, I will inform the general that he will have to go to an officer unless we locate his family. Do we even know his name?"
"Actually sir, I forgot to ask him."
"I'll ask him then, since competency seems lacking here." He practically spat out, at the stupidity of the nurse.
"Boy, what's your name?"
"My-my name is boy," Harry told him, hiding his head in his hands.
"What is your birth name?" Nyx asked him.
"Harry Potter," Harry whispered.
"No," The nurse said under her breath, "It can't be,"
He walked over and brushed aside the boys hair, revealing the scar. "It appears so, madam, what did you find when you scanned him?"
"Extreme malnourishment, dozens of fractures and breaks. Some that have been around since he was 2. He also had blockers on his magic, and abilities placed. The wand signature is unknown."
"So England's chosen one, was beaten? Then, we shall keep him here, have a therapist look after him, and then take his recommendation on who he wants the boy to go to madam. Have a nice day," He then stalked out of the room.
"Tomorrow, you meet with the therapist, Dr. Davies" The nurse told Harry, before leaving him alone.
