Green flames came alive in the floo and Sirius jumped from his seat. Severus walked into the room with a leather bag in his hands.
"Where is he?" He asked Sirius, getting right to the point.
Sirius showed him down the hall and into Harry's room. Severus looked annoyed that the boy was asleep.
"I thought this would be a little easier on him if he was asleep, at least while you're looking him over to see what you're dealing with. They did awful things to him. I don't know who did what, but Merlin it's awful, Severus" Sirius explained, starting off in a low, even tone and ended quite angry.
"Well fix him Sirius, don't worry. The physical scars aren't what you'll have to worry yourself with, I'm afraid" Severus said with knowledge in his voice. "It's the nightmares, the torturous flashbacks and the memories that will be the hardest to get through for the boy.
Sirius turned to look out the window, not caring to let the potions master seem his emotions.
"Sirius, if you'll help me, I'll check him over before he wakes. You're right; it will be less traumatizing for him if he's not awake." Severus said softly.
Sirius pulled back the covers and Severus looked a bit taken back by the fresh wounds and the old scars on the young man's body. He looked so thin and frail lying on the huge bed, curled into the fetal position, and covered in bruises and cuts.
Severus got over his shock and surveyed the injuries, making mental notes of the salves and potions he'd use on the boy. Sirius helped him carefully turn Harry, and explained about the back and rib pain that kept Harry from sitting up on his own that morning.
Snape frowned "Muggles inflicted this much damage?"
/flashback/
Sirius ran toward the commotion coming from the alley in front of them. When he reached it, what he saw sickened him.
His godson, who he had sworn to protect, was being raped by a muggle while others were kicking him. His mostly naked body was covered in bruises and deep cuts.
Sirius stunned three of the muggles as a forth ran away. Being a top class auror had its benefits. The muggle police were familiar with him and wouldn't arrest him and the ministry would over look a bit of magic against muggles in this situation.
Lucius rushed up behind him and gasped when he saw Harry. Sirius was standing still, looking at the boy with tears streaming down his cheeks. He knew that Harry needed to be tended to as quickly as possible so he bent and gently picked the boy up before wrapping an arm around Sirius and apparating them all back to Malfoy Manor.
/end flashback/
"We're not sure how much is muggle inflicted and how much is still from Voldemort and his death eaters." Sirius told him with a catch in his throat.
"No matter, it will all heal the same" Severus said when he saw the pain in Sirius' eyes.
Sirius sighed. "There is one more thing that I haven't told you about, Severus."
He turned to look at Sirius
"They raped him. Brutally. When we were cleaning him up when we got him home, there was blood all over him. Lucius was able to stop the bleeding from the tears in his anus, but I know there's much more damage…"
"Fuck! Bloody god damn monsters!" Severus lost his temper. "Muggles can be the nastiest little creatures ever born on this earth. I'll take my chances with one of Hagrid's monstrous creatures any day."
"Calm down Severus, you'll wake the boy" Lucius said quietly from the doorway. He'd woken up and been listening to his lover and his best friend talking, cringing at the memories of bringing Harry home the night before, practically every millimeter of his body covered in his own blood. "We've given him a blood replenishing potion last night, and I closed the bleeding wounds, but I didn't want to do much, not with his condition, without getting help from someone with training"
"Good idea" Severus responded. "I should be able to heal the boy with minimal scarring and very little pain. Except the broken bones, those will be painful for a while, unfortunately"
Harry stirred in the bed, and Sirius pulled the blankets back over him, and motioned for the others to continue the conversation outside in the sitting room. Lucius and Severus went out into the hallway and closed the door, giving Sirius a moment to be with Harry while they spoke.
A few minutes later, Lucius came back and sat with Sirius.
"It will take Severus the rest of the day to brew the potions and mix the salves needed to heal Harry properly. He left a few vials of pain draught and some more Dreamless Sleep for him to keep him pain free and well rested until he returns in the morning. I've also assured Sev and Gringots that the Malfoy vaults are open for his taking, should he need any special, or hard to find ingredients for any of the potions that Harry needs"
Sirius leaned into Lucius and thanked him for everything that he'd done and was still doing for his cub.
"I love your son too, Siri." Lucius reminded him. "Anyone who is your family is now mine as well. Your love for Harry is obvious and I'll do anything in my power to help you, help him"
