Lost and Afraid

Disclaimer: I don't own any of it. (Damn that's depressing...) Just a person, who lives a very boring life, trying to do something with their time.
Author's Notes: hmmm... nothing excruciatingly important to say right now, I'll think of something later... Oh yeah, thanks to every one that reviewed or even just read the last chapter. Special thanks to The Earth Mystic who was the first person to review the last chapter.

Severus was in shock. That boy to a bullet for him. He was the boy's least favorite teacher, he was a Death Eater, and the boy still took a bullet for him. He was probably trying to end his own life, Severus thought morbidly, I can see why, those people.
Severus grabbed the rather light body of Harry Potter and apparated to Hogwarts. This boy is much too small, Severus thought. When he reached Hogwarts, Severus did a quick check on Harry, Shit! he thought, this is not good. Harry's pulse was weak.
Severus did a mad dash for the Hospital Wing. "Pomphrey!" he bellowed. "Get over here!"
"Why Severus, you don't have to yell so loud," she replied, looking into his arm's she gasped, "Who is that?" she asked noticing the blood stained clothes on a heavily bleeding boy.
"Harry Potter." Severus said, flatly.
"WHAT DID YO-"She started.
"It was his uncle, not me you twit." Severus said angrily, "Are you going to do something or just stare at him while he dies?"
"His family?" she said while bustling over to him, picking up Harry and setting him on a bed.
"Yes." Severus said, he began feeling rather uncomfortable, he really did not want to hear the extent of Harry's injuries and he really didn't want to hear her ask about the bullet wound. "Well I'll go alert the Headmaster."
"No need, Severus, I've been here quite awhile, shall we go discuss things in my office?" Albus asked noticing Severus's nervousness.
Severus said nothing, but he walked rather quickly out of the Hospital Wing, he didn't stop until he reached the gargoyle, "Everlasting Gobbstopper" he said quietly. He walked silently up the stairs to Albus Dumbledore's office.
"I figured you'd be showing up here sometime or another," Albus said.
"What? How?" Severus said.
"Secret passageways my dear boy. So, how did Harry come to be in the state he is in now? Were you attacked?"
"No," Severus said, "It was his uncle. He-he abused him, it was terrible. The-the things he did to that boy, it was worse than Voldemort. Knives, torture, and.... And rape. Vernon Dursley raped the poor boy."
"What?" Albus asked, the usually present twinkle completely gone, "He did what? How do you know?"
"I don't know... I just sensed something . It was disgusting, and one more thing, Harry was shot, I was taking him away and Dursley came after me with a gun. Albus the boy jumped in front of it, He took the bullet. He saved my life."
"He did?" Albus asked. He was soon interrupted by a fire call from the Hospital Wing.
"Albus?" Madame Pomphrey asked, "Albus, you should get down here." She said rather worriedly.
A quick trip and a few minutes later, Albus and Severus were found in the Hospital Wing with Madame Pomphrey and an unconscious Harry Potter.
"That Harry is a real trooper," Madame Pomphrey stated, "I-I checked over his injuries; He should make a full recovery... but he was... he was raped Albus, they raped him. When I was examining him... He woke up and he started screaming... I had to knock him out, I was so scared, he was trying to get away from me; he was terrified. I didn't know what to do."
"That's all you could have done, Poppy," Albus said assuredly, "I'm terribly sorry, but I need to go, I have some letters to write. Severus, will you wait by Harry's bedside? He needs someone by him. If he wakes up come and get me."
Severus really wasn't happy about his job, but he had no other option; he got a chair and set it by Harry's bedside. ________________________________________________________________________
A few hours later.....
Harry hurt. Hurt was more of an understatement, actually, he was in a lot of pain, especially around his shoulder. He sat there trying to remember what happened, he couldn't. Cautiously, he opened his eyes. All he could see was a man with black hair. "Sirius?" Harry asked softly.
"No, you fool. It's not poor little Sirius. Since you've decided to wake up and grace us with your presence I shall go get Albus."
"Sorry," Harry said softly. "I didn't mean to make you mad. I couldn't see." Severus began walking away. "I was hoping I was dead." Harry said faintly expecting that Severus couldn't hear him.
"Being dead is a terrible thing," Severus said so quietly that Harry didn't even hear him.
After a few minutes later, Severus reappeared with Albus; it seemed as if he had fallen asleep. "Albus, I'm rather worried about Ha-Potter, when I was waling away he said he wished he was dead. I'm beginning to think that when he jumped in front of the gun it was more of a suicide attempt." Severus said.
"I was beginning to think that too, what those muggles did was inexcusable. Madame Pomphrey said he'd make a full recovery physically, I'm afraid of what will happen to him mentally." Albus replied tiredly, "I don't know what to do. For the first time in all my years I don't know what to do. That boy needs someone he really does."
"I understand that Albus; but who?"
"Would you watch the boy, Severus? He needs someone to care for him."
"I won't do it Albus, I can't. How am I supposed to care for a boy that hates me?" Severus asked.
"I don't hate you." Harry said softly. "I don't hate anyone, except for Voldemort probably."
Severus was aghast, the boy was awake, and probably for the entire time too. "You have to hate someone. You don't even hate your uncle?"
Harry cringed at the mention of his uncle. "I don't hate him, I got what I deserved. I'm just a freak. That's all. A freak."
Severus was about to yell something, but Albus stopped him, "You're not a freak Harry, you're just a boy. A perfectly normal boy." Albus said kindly. Severus coughed at the normal part.
"See!" Harry yelled, "I am a freak. Even he thinks so! That's all I am. Even you think I'm a freak." At this point Harry started crying. Albus tried to put his hand on Harry's shoulder, but Harry jerked it out of his grasp. "Just go, I don't deserve your presence. Just go."

Author's Note: Sorry I didn't get this out yesterday guys, I was writing it but then I was viciously attacked with writer's block. So tell me, how is it? What should happen next? Any suggestions?
I might put another chapter out in a day or two, but then I might not be able to update for awhile. I have like two or three projects due.
