The neighbors of Privet drive had gathered to watch. They were always watching what was going on, they didn't like anything new. They watched the house often, as the odd boy lived there, during the summer. But the house had been taped off by the police, and along with their cars there were two ambulances in the drive way. Nothing like this had ever happened before, and the people were whispering.

Arabella came over, she had been meant to be watching Harry, even since the war. She had been worried, as she had not seen him in a few days, and had told Albus. Now she saw the ambulances, and was in a panic.

She went up to a cop. "What happened?"

The man turned to go. "You will read it in the news."

Arabella pushed. "I am family."

A cop called from the door. "This one is alive."

The cop before her turned back. "Double shooting."

Arabella put a hand over her mouth. "Shooting?"

The man motioned to the car. "Seems wife came home and tried to off her husband."

Petunia to her shock, was sitting in the back of a squad car. She looked paler than she had seen the woman, and considering Petunia, that was saying something. The cop would tell her little else, but two older men had been shot, one fatally, and the other was near death. The dead man was already in the ambulance, and the other was about to be brought out.

Arabella watched in confusion, as two stretchers were brought out. She could see Vernon, who was being worked on. Her heart went into her throat, when she saw Harry being wheeled out on a second one.

She asked. "Harry, the boy, how is he?"

The cop asked. "How are you related?"

Arabella sighed. "A family friend."

The cop smirked. "The news will soon hit."

Arabella stopped. "I need to tell his godfathers something."

The man turned. "The boy has other guardians?"

Arabella nodded. "He is an orphan. He has other Uncles."

The man told her. "They can collect him from the hospital, after his exam."

Arabella rushed to her house, and placed a floo call to Grimmauld. She knew most of the order was still there, and of course she would find both of the marauders. She found Albus was also there, and she told them what was happening. Albus was pale, and the marauders looked ready to pull him apart. They had of course been fighting against him, to have Harry come and stay with them. Sirius had custody.

Sirius growled. "You still think he is safer?"

Albus sighed. "He needs a home, and Grimmauld is being…."

Sirius growled. "The Order can move, or I will take him to a safe house."

Remus agreed. "He is coming home."

Albus agreed. "It seems he would be safer."

Sirius went to leave. "He better be okay."

Arabella assured him. "He wasn't shot."

Remus had to wonder. "Why would Petunia do this?"

None of them had any idea, and knew they needed to get to the hospital and find out some answers to all of this. Albus loved Harry, and had thought truly it safer for him, that summer. He knew the marauders thought he was just controlling them, but he wanted the best for the boy. He truly hoped that Harry was okay, and not simply because he thought he would be torn apart. He had reminded the marauders, Harry would be seventeen in a month, and could come live with them then. He would not be able to control Harry then, when he was an adult.

Sirius looked at the man. "He better be okay."


The hospital had taken Vernon into surgery, but doubted the man would make it. He had been shot in both the back and the head, and it was a miracle he had survived this long. The other man had died instantly, shot with one bullet to the head, there had been no time for blood. The third victim had not been shot, he had been crushed under the falling man, and knocked out.

The boy was waking up as they began the rape kit. "What is this? Where am I?"

The doctor stopped. "You are in the hospital."

Harry was pale. "What happened?"

A police officer came in. "What do you remember?"

Harry trembled. "I was on my knees, and there were three loud sounds, and then everything went black."

The police man came over. "Do you know the name of the man who was raping you?"

Harry was confused. "Raping?"

The cop nodded. "We found no ID."

Harry was pale. "Mr. Mason, my Uncle's boss."

The cop sat down. "Your Uncle? Did he participate?"

Harry was confused. "Participate?"

The man was taking notes. "In the molestation."

Harry was confused. "I don't get this, I wasn't being hurt."

The cop turned to the doctor. "We will need the rape kit performed."

Harry was upset. "I wasn't raped."

The doctor tried to calm him, and perform the rape kit, but Harry was not having any of it. He had not been raped, Uncle Vernon loved him, and he needed his help. Harry was not sure why they kept calling it rape, or what a rape kit was. He didn't like this though, and when they began, he started to freak out. He fought, but he found himself shot up with drugs, to sedate him.

Sirius, Albus and Remus appeared at the hospital. They had the paper work to prove Harry was in their custody, so Harry could come home with them. They had no idea what had happened, but they were directed to a cop and doctor.

Sirius showed the papers. "I want to know what is happening."

The doctor motioned to a room. "He is sedated, you can't move him till morning."

Remus was pale. "What happened?"

The cop spoke. "Petunia Dursley has been arrested on two counts of homicide."

Sirius growled. "What?"

The cop read his notes. "One Edward Mason, died from a bullet to the head on the scene. Vernon Dursley died moments ago in the OR."

Albus was shaken. "Petunia is a lot of things but a murderer?"

The cop admitted. "She called the police and turned herself in."

Remus had no idea. "Why?"

The cop hated this part. "She came home to find your godson being forced into sex with Mr. Mason."

Sirius was sick. "He was raped?"

The cops explained it seemed oral when she walked in, but they had just finished a rape kit. As he was explaining there was evidence of anal, fresh sperm, and a history of it as well, another cop came up. He spoke to the first man, and Remus could hear the words, videos and internet, but little else then that. He was already shaken, and the words were bothering him even more.

Remus asked. "What is this?"

The lead one turned to him. "There is evidence Mr. Dursley was posting videos on the web."

Sirius was in a rage. "Videos?"

Albus looked to the doctor. "Perhaps we can go in?"

The man nodded. "The exam is almost done. He is out though."

Sirius led the way into the room. "How did the monster do this to him?"

Remus put a hand on his arm. "We will help him."

The results would take time, but it seemed likely his Uncle had been involved, and likely raping him as well. There were the video cameras, and a number of sex toys that had been found as well. Petunia had not spoken, since she had called the police, and let them in the house. Remus and Sirius both sunk down on either side, in total shock. The doctor assured them he could go home in the morning, when sedation wore off.

He said as he was about to leave. "He was in shock, in denial he had been raped. He will need your support."

An: Not a great Birthday gift to Harry, but a birthday gift to my readers, my new chapter. Now the very hard path of healing lays ahead.
