THE WHOLE WORLD IS AGAINST ME

Chapter 21

Harry knelt on the ground panting next to a puddle of what use to be his lunch. He moved a short distance away from the mess and lent back against a tree. The man he had seen at the table, he could only guess was the muggle cousin that Ron had told him about in 1st year but he was nothing like the rest of the family.

Harry had met Steven when Lizzy was around 3 and a half. At first he had been just like anyone customer at the whore house, he came and went without much fuss, he had even help Harry to calm Lizzy after she escaped the brothel owner's office where she spent the nights. But as time went on Steven became violent, he would take out his anger on Harry and got off on Harry's pain.

Harry had repeatedly appealed to the owner to send Steven away when he came but the women refused repeatedly, he later found out that Steven paid her extra to allow his visits. Harry also knew that Steven was the reason that the mistress was so much against him getting a proper job, she appreciated the extra income.

It had been awhile before Lizzy and Mrs K had worked out what was happening. One night he had come home with a bruise down one side of his face, Lizzy had confronted him about it and dragged him over to Mrs K's who had gone as far as to complain to the mistress about it but she was told that it was the risk take when getting involved with such a business and had been thrown off the property.

He had thought that he had finally managed to get away through his illness, but it now seemed that Steven had followed him into the wizarding world.

Once he had managed to get his breathing under control Harry pushed off of the tree and stood up, intending to go back to the house before anyone noticed that he was gone, he had already broken his promise to Auror Freedmen by leaving the garden. He decided to return to the house and excuse himself for the rest of the day, he would tell Mrs K that he was leaving but not Lizzy, she would only worry and was enjoying the day too much for him to interrupt and spoil it for her.

Harry turned then back-pedalled.

"There I was thinking that this day was going to be dull, who would have known that my favourite toy would be here."

"I am not your toy Steven, I never was and I never will be." Harry backed away as Steven approached, ending with his back up against a tree.

"But you were, could still be it you weren't so frigid, Kitten." Steven kept coming until he was standing right up close to Harry, he then put his hands on the tree on either side of Harry's head.

"Don't call me that and you know full well why I left."

"And you know full well that I will never let you go, I don't care, Kitten, I've had HIV for 9 years and I've had AIDS for the last 5."

"You knew you had it and yet you still go round risking other people's lively hood for your own pleasure?"

"No, it was only ever you Kitten, you were special. Plus there was some random out there who was willing to pay me big if I did. How could I refuse an offer like that?"

"What?"

"Its quite simple really some guy in a white mask comes and offered me a heap of cash if I found you and gave you HIV. I found you gave you the virus and found I quite liked fucking you so I came back for more."

"Why? Why would you do that to me? How could you do that to me?"

"It was my pleasure, Kitten." Steven swooped down and claimed Harry's mouth with his.

Harry struggled against his hold and pushed him away.

"Leave me alone."

But Steven moved his hands off the tree, onto Harry's shoulders pinning him to the tree, then pressed his body up against Harry's.

"No, not when I could have another go at your sweet ass."

Steven pushed his mouth against Harry's again, this time pushing his tongue inside, which Harry bit down on hard. With a roar, Steven jerked away and slapped Harry hard across the face.

"If I were you Kitten I would do as your told, you know I will take any excuse to teach you a lesson and now there is no Brothel mistress to repay if the damage is permanent."

Steven pushed himself closer against Harry's struggling form and bit down hard on Harry's collar, drawing blood and causing Harry to cry out.

Harry half hoped that someone in the distant garden would hear him, but then, this was a side of him he wanted no one to see, especially Lizzy.

Steven's hand wandered under Harry's shirt and up to his chest, cruelly pinching and twisting the two nubs there. Harry bit his lower lip t pry and stay quiet, he decided that allowing Steven to do what he wished was better then the embarrassment of the Christmas party arriving on the scene and was likely to be less painful, but he would stay silence so as not to allow Steven the pleasure of knowing this was effecting him.

Steven grabbed a handful of Harry's shirt and yanked, ripping the worn fabric in half. He used the remains to bind Harry's wrists before returning his attention to Harry's torso.

"Ah Kitten your making this too easy. What's the fun if you don't play hard to get?"

Harry stared of into the distance, 'switching off' for the juration of the experience, a technique he had used frequently as a whore, sadly it didn't work so well when he was in pain. Something Steven knew well. So when a knee slammed into his groin and stayed pressed there pushing him against the tree, Harry snapped his attention back to the present.

"You're not paying Kitten," He pressed hard with his knee till Harry whimpered. Steven smiled at the noise and pressed again till Harry repeated it. "Kitten…"

"Don't call me that," Harry hissed again.

"There we go, that my Kitten, I knew you were in there somewhere."

Steven continued speaking about some previous encounter between them when Harry had been particularly feisty but Harry tuned him out again. He vaguely felt the knee in his groin being replaced with a hand undoing his Jeans. Harry could tell that Steven was getting frustrated and Harry soon found himself facing the tree. He lending his head against the side of the tree and predicting what was going to happen next, waiting for it to be over.

Harry saw movement in the bushed opposite him and turned attention to that, hoping a gnome or small animal would appear and divert his attention. Instead he found exactly what he had been trying to avoid.

Apparently, after lunch the kids had decided to have a game of Quidditch, they had instead discovered the scene before them. He could see almost all of the older children there, some were flying back the way they came on the brooms they brought with them for the game, the rest were rooted to the spot.

One of the children, Jack he thought, had a hand over Lizzy's mouth stopping her from yelling out and alerting Steven of their presence.

"Please go, please." Harry mouthed silently to them, hoping they would leave, but none of them moved except Lizzy who continued struggling violently against Jack trying to get to her father. One other guys' moved to help Jack, unfortunately he stepped on a stick as he moved.

Harry felt Steven jerked at the sound and without much thought slammed his head back into Steven's face.

Harry was able to grab his pants before they fell down and somehow managed to push the button through its hole to keep them up.

Steven stumbled back clutching his bleeding nose and missed Harry's next move behind his hands and tear filled eyes.

"You want me to play hard to get, fine." Harry dropped to the ground and kicked Steven's legs out from under him; he hadn't survived the war against Voldemort just because he was good with a wand. (Pardon the Pun)

He turned briefly towards the children and pointed in the direction of the house, then took off in the opposite direction, although he knew it was unlikely they would obey.

Harry only got a few metres before a weight landed on his back dragging him to the ground. Steven flipped him over and repeatedly punched him in the face until he stopped struggling.

"Yes I did Kitten, and how kind of you to also give me a reason to punish you, but first back to business," hands returned to Harry's jeans making easy work of the button holding them closed, then disappeared, along with the weight holding him down.

"It would seem we'll have to cut this short Kitten, we have company and I was never one for an audience."

Steven's shadow disappeared from over him and Harry caught a grimace of him has he disappeared into the trees. Harry sat up and scooted backwards till he hit something hard and couldn't go any further. Seconds' later something landed next to him, although he barely noticed until Lizzy's arms wrapped around him.

He struggle until he recognised his daughters voice, his arms snaked around her pulling her as close as possible as he had when she was younger. She was saying something to him but he couldn't make sense of the words.

Then a male voice was heard close by, too close.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!"

Everyone jumped at the unexpected reaction, even Lizzy tried to move away but Harry held on tighter and started whispering things that made no sense, as if trying to calm her.

It took a few minutes but slowly Harry became aware of his surroundings and was able to understand what the people around him were saying.

"…gone, he's not going to hurt you again." Lizzy was saying, "Dora and Chris went to get help."

An Alex shaped blurred had edged closer then the others dared and added, "Yeah, Professor Weasley and Mister Malfoy will be here in a minute, they'll catch the bastard."

Automatically Harry mumbled, "Language."

Lizzy and Alex smiled comfortingly at him. They had both seen him like this only once before, he had failed to collect Lizzy from Mrs K's and they had all gone around to check on him, only to find the flat in a mess and him curled up behind the stove, which he had somehow moved away from the wall. Last time he hadn't talked to them for almost an hour and wouldn't allow Alex near him to the next day.

Harry looked around at the twenty or so blurred children present, the majority could be identified by the mop of brilliant red hair, like their parents; Draco and Ginny's, and, Bill and Fleur's children had blonde hair, then it was only Lizzy and Alex's that was different.

Gently, Harry removed Lizzy from his lap and used the tree and Lizzy to stand up, leaning heavily on both as his head pounded and the world spun. The world was still blurred, making him suspect a concussion, but in the distance he could three rapidly approaching blobs. Two were obviously Weasley, if he had to hazard a guess he would say Ron and Charlie; but the other he could not identify.

"Lizzy, go home with Mrs Kane."

"Come on then, we can leave now," Lizzy said starting to lead Harry back towards the house.

"No Lizzy, you go home," he pushed away from the tree and his daughter to move away from them. Everyone moved away not wanting to upset him again, except Lizzy.

"What, where are you going, you're in no state to…"

"DO as you're told!" Harry snapped, and then flinched, as did Lizzy, then he said more gently, "I'll be back soon." He kissed her forehead and moved away. Moments later a Black horse disappeared through the trees.

Authors Note

Hey guys,

I am so sorry, I didn't realise till the other day that I had left this so long, also sorry to anyone reading 'Punishment for Love' the cliffy I left that at is just as bad, not to mention has been left longer.

I have had such a busy last couple of months, first it was the end of semester so there were a million and one assignments due, then exams. To top it off my Mum when to England and my Dad was working over east so my sister and I were home alone for the first, significant, time, plus it was during exams so my sis and I were high on stress plus looking after the house, pets, ourselves etc.

But a close friend left overseas yesterday and my mum came back from England, so I had four 1 hour trips to and from the airport to write…so long story short there is now a new chapter to this fic. I will really really try to update again soon, I am going away next Thursday, so I will try for before then and I will try to write lots while I am away (between the 4 theme parks we are going to… so excited).

One other thing, I have never written a scene like this one before so please go easy on me.

Hope you enjoyed it, a nice long chapter (by my standards anyway),

Lov
