Harry Potter
"Did the scan show anything that would explain the pain in my scar?" Harry tried to retrain his question until Madam Pomfrey composed her however it managed to escape without his consent. His voice seemed to knocked her out of whatever daze she was in as she looked away from Harry for the first time since the quill had finished writing and the white glow had disappeared.
Madam Pomfrey cleared her throat before speaking, "Yes but I think it would be best for the Headmaster and your Head of House to be here, I'll go Floo the Headmaster's office then Professor McGon-"
"Snape, Professor Snape is our Head of House." Draco interrupted which surprised him since it was the first time he had spoken since the three of them had entered the Hospital Wing. When Madam Pomfrey heard what he said before her eyes flicked over to Harry and then down to his chest where his tie lay which caused a look of confusion and then realisation as she obviously remembered his Sorting. 'Another person who expected me to be in Gryffindor just because of my parents being in Gryffindor, which is stupid because it's not like I can even remember them.' Harry thought to himself as he watched her facial expressions.
"Right, Professor Snape." She muttered to herself as she then turn around and began walking to the fireplace which was next to her office door made Harry feel confused especially when she threw some glittery powered into it while announcing "Headmaster's Office." which caused giant green flames to erupt from the fireplace before calming down into a normal albeit still green flames. Harry felt like gasping when she stuck her head into the flames but managed to stop himself, 'So that's what Floo-ing is, huh?' Harry thought to himself as he filed the information away for future use. He could hear Madam Pomfrey's voice but couldn't make out what she was saying, she then pulled her head out of the flames which erupted again soon after, except this time Professor Dumbledore what out of the flames. 'That's amazing.'
Professor Dumbledore walked over to the three of them smiling, however Harry noticed something was different about him and it took him a moment to realise what it was. 'His eyes look different, they're still the same colour but they're not as bright or twinkling like I had noticed in person and in the picture on the chocolate frog card. He looks worried, grim.' Harry watched as he pulled out his wand and transfigured two yellow sweets he pulled out of his pocket into and sat down on one of them while Harry heard Madam Pomfrey saying, "Severus Snape, Privet Quarter's."
"Hello Harry, Draco, Ronald. How have your first day of classes been." Professor Dumbledore asked peering at them over his glasses as he held out a yellow sweet, offering them all one after having one himself. 'Is he seriously making small talk right now?' Harry thought to himself incredulous as him and Draco shook their heads while Ron accepted the offered sweet.
Ron's voice broke the short but stifling silence that had fallen since the Headmaster's question, "They've been fine Professor." He said nervously, looking down at the sweet in his hands as he opened the clear packaging surrounding it, unable to meet Professor Dumbledore's eyes as he popped the sweet into his mouth.
Before another word could be said the fireplace erupted into giant green flames again and expelled Professor Snape who made a terrifying sight, dressed in all black with an impassive expression as the green fire behind him caused a green glow around him. He stalked over to the seat next to Professor Dumbledore with his robes swishing around his legs and sat down in the seat next to the Headmaster. Madam Pomfrey made her way over to the small group and sat down in the last available seat before clearing her throat, "Mr Potter and his friends came here to see me as they were concerned about pain he had been getting in his scar and since the scar is an unknown as no one had ever received such a mark I thought it was necessary for you to be here when I discussed the result." Madam Pomfrey threw Harry a quick glance which caused his heart to sink, 'Oh no, please don't' He begged internally, "There was also some other concerning past injuries found during his examination."
Professor Snape and the Headmaster exchanged a look before they turned look at Harry and his friends. Professor Dumbledore cleared his throat and smiled before speaking up, "Maybe you two should leave for now." He looked at both Draco and Ron who both sat up straight and said a resounding "No." as they both held on to his arms as though they were going to be thrown from the room.
"I want them to stay and if you force them to leave I'll leave with them and take the parchment with me and if your anything like a muggle nurse you can't speak about my results without me or my permission." Harry spoke up which caused his friends to look at him with wide eyes and from the way the adults faces looked they were anything but happy with what he said, Harry felt pretty confident that what he said was correct and they wouldn't be able to talk without his permission.
"Very well then." Madam Pomfrey said with her lips pursed. "There seems to be dark magick lurking around inside of Mr Potter's scar, obviously remnant from the failed curse aimed at him by You-Know-Who. However the spell was unable to tell me what type of magic it was so there will have to be research done to figure out how to remove it from him. Unless you have any idea what it is?" Professor looked frustrated which Harry felt safe to assume meant that he didn't know what it was before he shook his head but Professor Dumbledore looked like he knew something but it looked like he was keeping his mouth shut on the subject as he shook his head as well. Harry had hoped that they had forgotten any mention of his past 'punishments' and they would just leave, but he was never going to be that lucky was he.
"You said you found concerning injuries what where they?" Professor Snape said bringing up the subject that Harry had been dreading the whole time they had been talking. At this both of his friends tightened their grips on both of Harry's arm, which they had refused to let go even when they were given permission to stay and they kept throwing even more concerned looks at him when they thought he wasn't looking.
"They are too numerous to say." This caused both of the Professor's to throw him identical looks of surprise and worry. Madam Pomfrey passed over the parchment for them to read and Harry could see as the Headmaster's face got angrier and closer to tears the more he read while Professor Snape's face got even more expressionless until it got to the point where he looked like a statue. They both got to the end of what appeared to be an extensive list and look both over to where Harry sat with his friends.
A single tear escaped Professor Dumbledore's bright blue eyes before saying in a mournful voice, "This is all my fault."
