A/N: I'm not even going to attempt to write Hagrid's speech like J.K.R would so you'll just have to use your imagination.
Chapter Five
As Harry and Severus approached the doors to Hogwarts school they swung open to reveal Hagrid, who looked surprised to see Severus standing there, and even more surprised to see Harry standing behind him. (A/N: I need to get some women into this, the pronouns are soooo confusing)
"Professor Snape I didn't expect to see you back so soon. I thought that you were going to be staying with Harry for a few days.then again I also thought that you were sent to check that he was okay, not to bring him to Hogwarts." Hagrid paused and was about to say something to Harry when Severus started talking.
"I was supposed to check on Harry but I decided it would be best to bring him back to Hogwarts and I saw no point in waiting to return if I was bringing him with me." Once that was said Severus swept past Hagrid and into the castle.
"Sorry about that he's not in the best of moods" Harry said smiling up at his large friend.
"Don't you worry about it, I'm used to it, after all, he is usually like that isn't he?" Hagrid said smiling back at Harry, "Anyway, how are you, you're not looking so good."
"I'm fine Hagrid. I just tripped over some of Dudley's junk and fell down the stairs, hence all the bruises, I'll be fine in a couple of days." Harry paused and looked past Hagrid to the castle where Severus had disappeared minutes before "I'd better go and catch up with him, he'll be angry if he has to come and get me. I'll talk to you later, bye." He said, waving to Hagrid as he walked into the castle.
"There you are Harry, I was beginning to wonder if you were ever going to appear. We are going to go and see Professor Dumbledore to inform him that I have removed you from the Dursley's "care", and to arrange where you will be staying for the rest of the summer." Severus said when Harry finally caught up with him.
Severus led the way through Hogwarts' many corridors to Professor Dumbledore's office until they reached a statue of a gargoyle, which marked the entrance to Professor Dumbledore's abode. They paused outside and Severus hesitated before giving the password "Fizzing Whizzbee." The gargoyle sprang to life and jumped aside, revealing a gap in the ways and a corridor beyond it. Severus led Harry into the gap and up the spiral, stone staircase and the gargoyle jumped back into place, closing the gap as if it had never been there. They continued up the stairs until they reached a polished oak door with a brass doorknocker. Severus raised his hand and banged the knocker against the door three times.
There was a pause as they waited for Professor Dumbledore to answer the door "Ah Severus do come in" he said once he had opened the door, "I didn't expect . " his words trailed off as he noted Harry standing behind Severus, "Good God Harry what happened to you?" "Erm . I tripped?" Harry was cut off as Severus butted in, "Potter you should know better than to lie to the Headmaster. Albus, Harry is here because when I arrived at his house I discovered that his uncle abuses him. The bruises and other injuries that you see were inflicted by the muggles, so I decided that Harry would be safer here. " While Severus had been talking his face had contorted with the anger that he still felt for the Dursleys and Dumbledore now looked shocked. "I had no idea . Harry why didn't you mention this before, I'm assuming this isn't the first time that your uncle has done this to you?" "I didn't think that it was important and anyway he ahs never done anything this bad before but he was mad at me because of what happened last summer"
//Flashback to the beginning of the summer//
Uncle Vernon was waiting beyond the barrier. Mrs Weasley was close by him. She hugged me very tightly when she saw me, and whispered in my ear, "I think Dumbledore will let you come to us later in the summer. Keep in touch, Harry" "See you, Harry," said Ron, clapping me on the back. "Bye, Harry!" said Hermione, and did something she had never done before, and kissed me on the cheek. "Harry - thanks," George muttered, while Fred nodded fervently at his side. I winked at them, turned to Uncle Vernon, and followed him silently from the station. There was no point in worrying yet, I told myself, as I got into the back of the Dursleys' car. As Hagrid said, what would come, would come . and I would have to meet it when it did . and 'it' came much sooner than I expected.

When I arrived back at the Dursleys' house Uncle Vernon grabbed me and flung me into the house, barley closing the door before he started to yell at me. "BOY you should have know better than to come back here after that stunt you pulled last summer. What you did to my Dudley was unforgivable and you will have to be punished for it. Get upstairs to your room now!" he finished and pushed me towards the stairs.
Later that night I heard a banging coming from downstairs and went to investigate but when I reached my door I found that it was locked, so I sat back down on my bed. Not long after that I heard Dudley and Aunt Petunia go to bed but Uncle Vernon stayed downstairs. A few hours later he too came upstairs but instead of going into his room I heard my bedroom door being unlocked and he came into my room. He was obviously drunk as he walked into the room and started yelling abuse at me, not caring who he woke up, and then he grabbed me and flung me up against the wall and started punching me, telling me that I deserved it for what I had done to Dudley, and that it was my fault that his company wasn't doing well. He let me go and I dropped to the floor and curled up into a ball as he started kicking me. One of the blows connected with my arm and I felt it break, and had to bite back a scream of pain. He kept punching and kicking me for what seemed like hours and the pain was becoming unbearable when blackness finally took over and I passed out.

Harry's POV
"Harry, Harry" Dumbledore called and I felt myself being shaken. I blinked and looked up at him "What is it?" I asked still feeling a little lost. "You zoned out for a minute there, are you all right Harry?" "I'm fine I just . " my word trailed off and I noticed Dumbledore looking at me curiously, "Okay Harry, shall we leave the rest of our discussion for another time and take you to the hospital wing to get you patched up?" "Alright Professor," I said quietly and stood up and followed Professor Dumbledore and Professor Snape to the hospital wing where Madame Pomfrey was waiting for me.

A/N: I know the ending to the last chapter was crap and this chapter isn't much better but I couldn't get the chapters to flow properly. All and any reviews/comments are welcome so please review and if I come up with anything better I will reload the chapters. Sorry about the wait and I'll try and get the next chapter up soon. Thanx for all the reviews, they make me happy.
Btw Hary is 15 in this fic and it is set in the summer after GoF.
