Chp 2
Draco wrapped his arms around Harry pulling him closer resting his chin on Harry's head. "I can't believe all this time they were abusing you! And what did I do, I made your life even more of a living hell. I'm so sorry Harry I wish I had known better. I wish I was a better person for you."
"Oh Draco, I apologize as well. I never meant to make you feel bad in first year, but Ron was the only friend I had ever had. I didn't want to lose that. He meant so much to me. Although it didn't turn out to do much for me in the end, did it?" Harry laughed, hoping his pathetic life didn't drive them away more. Hoping that they wouldn't leave him like his so called "friends" did. Snape frowned he hadn't heard about a scuffle between Potter and his friends.
"Potter, seeing as nobody can read your mind would you elaborate before I tear all my hair out in frustration."
"Well professor, you see ever since I told them I was… I was… I… I… was… sorry sorry sorry I didn't mean to stutter, don't hit me Uncle Vernon. Please… please…. No… no… stop no more…. Please." Harry curled up into a ball still muttering nonsense. Draco panicked looking to his godfather for help, not knowing what to do in a situation like this.
Snape rushed forwards pulling the small boy into his arms. He cast several diagnostic spells and gasped. "He is severely malnourished, as well as running a terribly high fever. Several of his ribs are broken as well as his left ankle. No wonder he's delirious." Draco looked alarmed. Then confused. Then just plain scared.
"Who did this to him?! How did they get away with it?" Draco demanded an answer for which Severus did not have.
"If I were to guess I would assume it is the same way he acquired the inability to see." Snape sighed, seeing several scars, he would have to see if he could do anything about them. "Draco, he's going to have to stay in my quarters. Now open the door to my guest room and pull back the covers. He will need someone to stay with him at all times in such, fragile a state, when I have class you will watch him. I will make sure you are not punished for missing class. If anything happens when you are watching him get me immediately by patronus." Snape carefully laid Harry Down on the bed, he pointed his wand at him and said a incantation that sounded a lot like "goose octopus" and immediately Harry's clothes were transfigured into green flannel pajamas. Draco looked at his godfather and frowned stating that Harry would not take so kindly to being in Slytherin colors. Snape merely smirked and retorted that what he doesn't know won't hurt him.
"Severus, I know I'm supposed to know how and I really have tried but, I can't cast the patronus spell. I've tried and tried and tried and tried. But I just can't seem to get it right."
"Oh Draco why didn't you tell me before? I think I have something that we can use. Let me go get it." Snape sauntered down the hall into his room he rummaged and searched until he finally found what he was looking for. Bringing it back to Draco he held it up. "This is a communication crystal, you hold it in your hand and say my name it will immediately contact the one I wear and I will be there as fast as I can." He hands the prism to Draco, and turns back to look at Harry. "I hope for all its worth that he wakes up. Now, go try out the crysta,l simply hold onto it and say "Severus" loudly and clearly."
Draco puts the chain around his neck and takes the prism in his hand. "Severus." As soon as he says this he feels a slight vibrating. Looking to his godfather he sees that the crystal around his neck is glowing a vibrant purple, and vibrating much more violently than his. "It works well. If I ever run into problems while watching Harry I will contact you Immediately." Draco was grateful to his godfather for doing so much for him. He had done what his father had not after and during the war. He had loved him, he might seem callous and tough, but Draco knew he loved him. It was why he was staying with Severus during holidays instead of at the Manor.
"Draco! Are you even listening to me?! I must go and gather the necessary potions for Potter. I want you to stay here, if he wakes up don't bother him. Right now all we can do is make sure he is comfortable. I must also go and get Madame Pomfrey as I don't know the proper spell to fix his broken bones. I know you will keep him safe, don't let anyone in until we know exactly what he meant about his friends, unless it's Minerva then I suppose you can let her in." With that Snape exited in a flurry of robes whooshing against the doorframe.
