Dumbledore came into the hospital wing several minutes later with the pensive to get enough evidence to convict the Dursley's. He put the pensive over at the other side of the room and sat next to Harry.
"Have you got your memories sorted out?" Dumbledore asked the twinkle not present in his eye.
"Can we wait for Snape…?" Harry asked worried.
"Yes of course Harry."
"Good. I was wondering… umm… I was wondering if you could look at the memories without me… I don't think I could go through that again…"
"Of course Harry I was planning on not letting you see them anyway."
Just then Severus ran into the hospital wing with some potions to restore Harry's strength which Harry quickly swallowed pulling a face as he did.
"It's hardly going to be pumpkin juice." Severus said. "But I'll try to put something in them to make them a bit nicer."
"Thanks sir." Harry smiled weakly.
"Have you got the memories prepared Harry?" Dumbledore asked becoming serious all of a sudden.
"Yes…" Harry said and with his wand withdrew his chosen memories into the pensive. The ribbons of liquid swirl around in the pensive before Severus and Dumbledore jumped in to see Harry's horrific childhood.
-Memory-
It was a hot summer day so everybody was inside and nobody heard the tortured screams of the little boy at number 4 Privet Drive. Harry was 6 years old but he looked about 4 due to malnutrition. He was wearing a baggy ripped t-shirt at least 4 sizes too big for him and a pair of scruffy pants kept up with a piece of string both of which were clearly his older cousins. His uncle had put his hand on the hob for burning the morning's bacon.
"I'm… so sorry I didn't mean to…" Harry said through tears.
"You should be sorry, freak." Vernon hissed before taking Harry's hand of the hob and punching him hard in the chest making him fall to the floor in the foetal position and scream in mercy.
"Please stop it…" Harry sobbed.
"We don't beg. After all we have done for you." Vernon said and Petunia and Dudley just looking laughing at Harry in pain. "Now in your cupboard and you won't have any food for a week."
Harry scrambled into the cupboard and cried his heart out. Thankfully he had managed to scavenge some burn cream one day whilst cleaning so he got it out from under his pillow and generously applied over his burnt hands.
-Memory end-
Severus came out of the pensive to have a breath he couldn't believe what Harry had been through from such a young age. No-one deserved such treatment especially not Lily's child. He looked over and saw Harry asleep before delving back into the pensive to see the other memory that Harry had prepared.
-Memory-
It was the summer before Harry started Hogwarts and he had got his first Hogwarts letter in the post. Harry's face lit up when he saw a letter addressed to him but his happiness was short lived when he was thrown in his cupboard after his uncle had ripped it up right in front of eyes. What was so important about it that he couldn't see it?
That night Petunia and Dudley were going out to a party with Dudley's friend to celebrate before they all left for school. Harry was hoping that his uncle would just leave in the cupboard that night but he was wrong. Vernon pulled Harry harshly from the cupboard and dragged him up the stairs by his ear. He threw Harry on the bed and tugged in his pants. Harry tried to kick his uncle away and wiggle free but he was to strong and some not only were Harry's pants off but his uncles were off as well.
Harry felt something hard against his arse cheeks and imagined the worse. He was shocked that his uncle would do this to him but he had already broken him enough why not finally break him completely?
Suddenly he felt an incredible pain run through him like being ripped in two he had never felt anything worse than it. He couldn't help but scream until his throat was red raw. His uncle kept thrusting in him relentlessly. Every time his uncle went deeper in he let out a large grunt like a pig. Harry had tears streaming down his face and thought that the pain would never end. Suddenly he was filled with a sticky liquid and his uncle pulled out of him breathing heavily.
"You will not be going to that freak school. Do you hear me?" Vernon questioned but Harry was in too much pain to answer. "I said DO YOU HEAR ME?!"
"Yes… s-sir…" Harry whispered.
Suddenly Vernon pulled a hidden video recorder out from the bookcase and stopped the recording. Harry didn't know he had been recording them and it made him feel worse than ever.
"This will come in useful." Vernon said with a smile and left Harry to curl in a ball and cry. He could feel the blood mixed with the white liquid dribbling down his legs and it made him feel so dirty.
-Memory ends but goes straight into the next one-
It was the summer after Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts and he had realised that he was gay but he hadn't told anyone yet and he decided that he would tell Ron and Hermione in person. It was midnight and Harry was fast asleep trying not to have nightmares and wake everyone up.
Suddenly he was awoken by a punch to the face and saying his uncle sat on top of him. "Who's Draco, freak?"
"Wha'?" Harry slurred still asleep.
"Who's Draco Malfoy, you have been moaning his name all night?"
"Ohh…" Harry said turning bright red he knew he loved Draco but he didn't tend to have wet dreams about him.
"I knew you like it. You fucking queer."
"No I didn't…"
"Yes you did you loved everything I did to you that's why you are gay because you loved it when I had my cock up your arse." Vernon said and slowly started removing his and Harry's pants.
"No please don't…"
"Why not? You love it so much." Vernon said and with no warning he entered Harry making Harry scream out in pain. He kept thrusting into Harry and Harry couldn't stop the onslaught of tears. Draco would never love him back especially now he was dirty and tainted. "Draco will never have you. You are mine you pathetic whore." And with that Vernon did one more deep thrust and spilt his liquid inside Harry. Vernon pulled out and left Harry alone to cry. He pulled his thread-bare blanket over himself and knew he was in for a terrible summer.
-Memory end-
Severus and Dumbledore got out of the pensive and where in utter shock at what they saw. They couldn't believe what Harry had gone through. Neither spoke for some time until Severus heard Harry whimper in bed behind them. He rushed over to Harry's Side and gently woke him up.
"Hey, Harry its ok. You're safe now." Severus soothed rubbing Harry's back.
"S-sir…"
"Yeh it's me."
"Have you seen them…?" Harry asked worriedly.
"Yes and we will make sure that you will never have to go back to the Dursley's again."
"Well where will I go…?"
"You can stay with me if you like?"
Harry nodded his head and Severus put his arms around Harry happy that he had accepted his offer. At that moment Dumbledore left to go to the ministry to finally get the Dursley's put in prison.
