Chapter 13
Harry's Magic
I was sat in the great hall waiting. I watch harry get up and walk over to the Slytherin table. He had only been sat down for a few minutes. When Hedwig flew into the great hall the children watching it land in front of harry. I saw Draco talking to him and harry mouth move in reply.
I had no idea why he got out his wand. I watched as he slipped the wand through rope and it opened it.
"It's a broom" a whispering through the hall.
Harry tapped the broom with his wand. What is he doing? He abruptly grabbed Draco spoon out of his hand, the fruit fell back in the bowl. He did a spell on the spoon. Then tapped the wand on the spoon. Harry's name popped up. Harry was doing a sixth-year spell! A Disillusion spell! He canceled the curse and placed the spoon back into Draco's hand. The look on Draco's face was priceless. I almost spit out my coffee. When harry did the spell again.
He looked over at me. That when I realized his godfathers had been watching too. I bet we looked funny. My eye caught Dudley stand up suddenly. Harry looked too. Dudley had picked up a fricking melon and threw it at Ron's head. Madam Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall were up in a shot. Poppy took Ron off to the infirmary. And Minerva ushered Dudley away. She looked at me nodding her head to the anti-chamber. I rushed in there putting a silencing charm on the room. They both entered
"explain!" I order
"Professor Snape, I know I lost control-"
"lost control? You threw a melon at his face!" I couldn't believe I just said that sentence.
"I know, but he said harry should die." he blurted out.
"What?…"
"Harry had just got his broom and Ron started to say stuff about harry"
"like what?"
"At first he said he was a showoff, and he gets special treatment, if it was anyone else they wouldn't have been able to play. Then he said I hope Harry falls off his stupid broom and dies! I was sick of him slagging harry off! He does it all the time! So I threw the melon at him." Dudley said
I pinched the bridge of my nose "30 points from Gryffindor for assaulting another student." Dudley was about to object. I put my hand up to stop him. "you will spend 3 weeks in detention with me or your head of house." I saw Minerva nod in agreement. "As for Ron he will have points taken and he will also do detentions. Now go finish your breakfast, Dudley."
We walked into the hall. Dean Thomas was going crazy. I saw Raven try to stop him, he did something to her and while she went react he pushed her back onto the Slytherin tables. Unluckily for Raven, no students were their so the center of her back smacked into the table. Other students tried to grab dean but he slid out the door after harry!
I went back into the anti-chamber and slid into the main hallway. Dean had started running into the dungeons. I followed quickly. I ordered him to stop but he wouldn't he took a left I followed. I caught him a few minutes later. "where is Harry?" I demanded
"I don't know" dean was breathless from running "I saw him come this way" I made him walk down the hall with me, we came to a dead end. I looked at him "Are you sure?"
Dean looked confused "I saw him turn left sir"
I walked him quickly to the Minerva office. She was waiting for us. I left to find my son. I ran down to the dungeons. I walked into the common rooms. "where's harry" I asked no one knew. I left for our quarters maybe Harry had gone to his room. "Harry" I called out. Nothing. I looked all over our quarters. Nothing. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Something was not right!
I need to find harry. I started looking around the dungeons. I sent for help.
It had been almost 16 hours since I had last seen harry. The last time I saw him it was 8:30 am. It was had just turned midnight. I was still looking. I didn't care if I never slept again. I would find him.
I was on the 6th floor when Poppy's Patronus came flying at me "Severus come now infirmary"
I ran to the first floor to the infirmary. The first thing I saw was Hagrid's huge frame blocking the bed. I walked around him. Harry's shirt was covered in blood. His whole face was bruised and swollen. I almost fell to my knees. "w" I couldn't speak.
"I heard a knock on my door, he was there on the floor of my door." Hagrid cried.
Poppy was working on harry. We thought the blood was from his nose until she removed his shirt. That when we saw the stab wounds. "Severus! Go get me Dittany Now!" poppy placed her hands on as many of the wounds as she could. " and a blood replenish!"
I returned quickly. Dripping the Dittany into the wounds.
Poppy pulled out her wand to do a diagnostics test. she snatched the Dittany off me as she carried on. "Severus go get a Cruciatus Curse repellent."
My head whipped up. "What?"
She waved her hand at me as she carried on.
I returned with the potion. Hagrid was now on a chair the man's eye filled with tears. I walked around the privacy screen that was now up. Poppy wiping up the blood off of harry whispering "It's okay harry your safe calm now."
How the hell is he awake! I saw his green emerald eyes they were glazed over. He looked like he does after his nightmares.
Tears pouring down her face. She was humming to harry, as she asked questions. "harry, I need to take off your trousers now. Is that okay?" A small nod for him. "you know your professor is here don't you?"
I watched him slowly blink looking around for me.
Harry bursting into tears at the sight of me. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" His voice was rushed and a little incoherent.
Poppy looked at me for help.
I sat on the bed next to him "shh, what are you sorry for?"
"I ran… " he mumbled out.
"shh now" I rubbed his hand. "why is that bad"? he shrugged. "will you drink these, it will help with the pain." he nodded I poured Cruciatus Curse repellent followed by a pain relief and blood-replenishing potion into his mouth. I need answers but I knew I wouldn't get them tonight.
"Severus?" poppy said, "his knee is broken…"
I was about to get up but was stopped by the tiny hand of my son. "don't leave" he said as his eyes starting to droop " don't leave" he was out
Poppy left for a moment came back with a skele-gro and another potion.
The first potion I understood, was skele-gro. The second one was the wizarding world equivalent to a rape test kit… once this potion is put into the victim's system. Their body releases the victim's sexual history and sexual activity. It also has many other properties. But this is the main
I sucked in a breath. "you don't think?…"
She nodded, "Things are missing on the report. I didn't know his knee was broken until. I removed his trousers" she paused "it usually means…" she trailed off as she poured both of the potions into Harry's mouth.
She waited for a moment before doing a diagnostic spell. She grabbed the paper before I could. "He has never been hurt in that way. " I relaxed slightly. Poppy was stiff as aboard.
I heard someone come in it was Albus "may I come around?"
I looked at poppy
"how would harry feel knowing his headmaster as basically seen him naked" she stated to the room. As she carried on healing my son. "go talk to him I have this!" she was still crying.
I walked to the other side of the privacy screen. Poppy wasn't telling me something. Whenever she did this she was hiding something. I don't know when Sirius and Remus had arrived but they were there patting Hagrid's big hand. I sighed waiting. That's when Minerva walked in. "Harry has been attacked on school grounds, I also think Ron and Dean have something to do with it." the room fell to silence.
All we could hear is poppy humming to a sleeping harry she walked around to us. "he has multiple broken ribs, a broken cheekbone a broken nose his right eye socket is broken. ill have to call in a specialist. He has 16 stab wounds to his chest. He had the Cruciatus Curse used on him twice. The first time for only seconds, the second one was held for 5 minutes." she sucked in a breath. "at first I thought he had been raped… on further inspection, it was not the case, someone obliviated him. twice"
I looked at the floor. "Obliviated? Twice?" I repeated.
"Yes, twice. The first time on the same day as the feast and the second was this morning."
She let it set in
"this morning?" I asked
Poppy nodded "this morning"
"Why this morning?" I looked at poppy. "you think harry saw his attacker?
Poppy nodded "I think harry saw his attacker twice"
Twice! Wait until I find the bastard or bitch that did this!
poppy begin again. "I didn't understand why Harry's leg didn't show up on the scan until after Severus was seen by harry. I felt Harry's magic relax when you gave him the potions." another pause. "I think Harry's magic was trying to heal him. When his magic couldn't, Harry's magic masked his injuries so harry could find help. Once Harry's magic knew he was safe with his da…" she stopped
I put my hand up "Hagrid knows mine and Harry's relationship poppy"
"once Harry's magic knew harry was safe with his dad. Only then did Harry's magic release him to us."
Silence
"oh and by the way, Harry was attacked off grounds"
silence
"There is no way harry cou-"
Poppy cut me off "yes there is because harry was the one who told me." I sucked in a breath. "the day you brought harry to me our magic… our magic connected… I never thought anything of it till today…when I lost connect-
I almost exploded "so you just let us search the castle all day when we could have been looking for him out there!"
I didn't mean what I said… I'm tiered… and my son almost died … again!
Poppy eyes went wide and angry. "how dare you even think to accuse me of that!" she hissed. "For your information, I only knew this at 11 pm when it disconnected! I thought he was dead!" she cried "I had just gotten the courage to come to tell you! That I think we are now looking for a dead body!"
no one dared to stop her talking.
"That's when harry magic came back to me. It was raw magic! I knew he was hurt! I didn't know where he was! I couldn't help! She sobbed aloud and distraught. "Then Hagrid carried him in! The blood! All of Harry's possession was destroyed! I knew someone had to have used his wand and that someone is still in the school!"
