A/n: Is the leaky cauldron or the Three Broomsticks in Diagon Alley. I
can't remember which is which. I'm so sorry this is so late. I was planning
to have this up by June 25th but FF.net went all freaky and than I was
attacked by a bunch of different plot bunnies. This doesn't excuse this
being posted in August, except I forgot all about this fic. I have an
update group located at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hp_of_all_kinds/
Madame Poomfrey stared in shock at the boy. She quickly cast a calming charm on herself before proceeding with the evaluation. The injuries she could see were horrendous and there were many hidden injuries. At one time or another, most of the bones in his body had been broken. She walked over to the area where she had placed the healing-aid devices, and pulled out a gold ball. She touched the ball to the boy's forehead and waited for it to give a list of injuries and the condition of the child.
It glowed for several minutes before a bell started to chime and the glow to disappear. Several seconds later, a list started to print. The top sheet had the child's stats, and she gasped in shock.
Name: Harold James Potter
Age: 11
Sex: Male
Address: The Three Broomsticks, Diagon Alley, London, England
Other: Child was mentally, emotionally, and physically abused. Is starting to develop bronchitis and pneumonia.
Condition: Serious and critical, could lapse into coma.
Injuries: Broken wrist, leg, arm, fingers, hand, leg, foot, and ribs, punctured lung, internal bleeding, bruised ribs and bones in the arms and legs dislocated shoulder, both left and right, cracked vertebra in the spinal column, along with cracked ribs and femur bone, concussion, along with possibilities of brain damage, blindness, or paralysis.
She knew that she had the training for this, but she never expected injuries like this in a child. Whoever would do such a thing was pure and utter evil. She started to cast charms for the worst injuries, the punctured lung and the cracked vertebra. She wasn't able to heal some of the injuries as they were too old, and she wouldn't be able to heal pneumonia. He would have a cast on both his legs, and on his left arm, but everything else could be healed. In the end, she had everything except the concussion, the arm, and the legs healed. HE would have to stay in bed for a while, and she would have to come back with potions for the pneumonia, and to make sure he wasn't blind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bill's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bill looked at the poor child, and laughed to himself. 'The other day mum's yelling at me to get married, and now I have two kids placed in my care.'
"Draco, I'm going to have to take you to the aurors' and have them place you in my care due to child abuse," 'Not the only reason to go, but he doesn't need to know how bad shape Harry is in,' "I have another child in my care, though I don't think you know him. His name is Harry Potter, and I rescued him from his aunt and uncle." Draco replied that he had already met the boy at Madame Botts and that he had noticed bruises around the boy's neck.
Bill nodded his head at that then asked "Do you want the bed by the window or the door, and don't be afraid to ask for anything, okay? I'm going to be next door with Harry for a bit." Draco looked confused, but nodded his agreement.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Draco's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'I can't believe that someone actually cares about me. I can see them caring about that other boy. He is Harry Potter, the boy who lived. All I am is Lucius Malfoy's heir.' Draco had been shocked by the kindness shown to him by an almost complete stranger. His father had shown him kindness in an attempt to catch him off guard. If he responded to the kindness, he would find himself punished. His mother had never really had a chance to try to protect him either. It had taken her to just the year before to finally throw off the imperious curse, and than she had to pretend she was under it for a long time.
Draco took the bed by the window, thinking, 'If this is a trap by Lucius, I can at least escape through the window. I hope that I can trust Bill.'
A/n: Don't hurt me *hides* from now on I'll update on a regular basis. The chapters should start getting longer soon.
MissPatriciaPotter: Are you going to post the fic?
devilishly-clever34: This is more, though a tad late.
Lady Russell Holmes: I can't remember and I sort of loaned out all the copies of the books to friends and some weird aunt of mine.
Shinko: One of the best Weasley's.I like Charlie just as much though. Bill just seemed to be a tad more responsible than Charlie is..
Shinigami: Hermione will show up at Hogwarts and Ron in a chapter or two. Bill is going to need a safe place to take the kids, as Lucius knows where he is now.
Harriet: I don't enjoy cliffhangers all that much, unless I'm writing them so.yeah.
