Thanks for Reviewing Prd2bAmerican18.
When everyone was comfortably seated in Dumbledore's office they started to discus what had happened in the last few hours and the Death Eater attack earlier in the day. After the attack had been explained Dumbledore told the Order of the Phoenix members what had happened in the Great Hall before they had arrived.
"Well all the students had just arrived and I addressed then as usual and we were half way through the meal when the three heirs appeared in the room. Well you can imagine that we were shocked. No one is meant to be able to apperate into the grounds let alone into the Great Hall, it has the most protection after the house dorms. Well after that the students started to fire curses at them out of shock and when they started to fight back we had to protect the students so we tried to stun them but it didn't work then you arrived and Lara I think it was yelled for Harry to help. Then you know the rest."
"What are we going to do about Harry?" Professor McGonagall asked who had also joined them. "For once I have no idea Minerva. He has changed. I can see it in his eyes." Dumbledore said. "Well I want to know where he got those scars. I." "He has always had them but you were all to blind to see it." It was Erin. "Would you like to explain? I think you have lost all of us." All the wizards nodded to Dumbledore's words, they had all lost the conversation.
"Well if any of you ever bothered to check on Harry when he was younger you would of known." She said, she was trying to make them work for the answer, also to see if they could work it out for themselves. "Known what?" McGonagall asked. "None of you had a reason not check on him except for Sirius who was in Azkaban." She wasn't going to give in easily. "It would of taken you 5 minutes to go to the Dursley's house and work out what was wrong. But because none of you took the effort he is now the scared person he is now." Arthur tried to interrupt but she held up a hand silencing him. "He would have been a completely different person if he had been removed from there but instead he is a silent, shy young man. Didn't any of you ever notice that he never spoke unless spoken to, not even to his closest friends? He never starts a conversation and would certainly never finish one. In his time here didn't you ever notice that he would never ask a question in class unless you asked him to? The only reason that you never noticed to scars on his face was because he wore make-up to hide it, then when he had learnt how he would use charms it hid them."
After a moment Snape spoke out, "How do you know these things?" "Because of the first time we meet." She said. "What happened?" "Why should I tell you?" "So that we understand what you are saying," Dumbledore said. "Fine"
Flashback
"What are we doing here?" Bronwyn asked. "I have no idea what so ever," Ashleigh said "Well don't look at me, I don't have a clue." Lara replied, "Who are you guys anyway?" "Bronwyn but you can call me Bron it's easier" "Ashleigh, everyone calls me Ash though" "Lara, I wonder why we are here." "Yeah, hey are you guys Muggle." Lara asked. "What???" Ash looked very confused "What the hell is a Muggle?" Bron asked "Well then if you don't know what one is then you are one," She replied. "Hey who's that over there."
Erin walked over to the girls and Lara pulled her wand out but kept it at her side so as not the scare the other two. "Now I know that this is very confusing for the three of you and I am going to explain to you what is going on in a minute but there is one more person who should be joining us. But I will explain some things to pass the time. We weren't going to bring you all here for another few years but the situation changed so we had to move the schedule around a bit. So." "Wait. We? There is only one of you who else are you talking about?" Bron asked. "The Elves." She said. "Elves, I thought you were strange from the start but now I know you are defiantly crazy." Ash said. "You have go to be joking you are why to big to be an Elf." Ash and Bron looked at Lara in shock. "I assure you it is possible. We." "And what's more it is illegal to speak about that kind of thing in front of Muggles. Two at that." "I will explain this all when the last one gets here." "When is that?" Lara asked. "At Midnight, which is in about one minute." Erin supplied. "OK. This has been a most fascinating conversation but I better get home my parents will be very worried." Ashleigh said, Bron nodded in agreement. "They already know you are here. And you can't get home by yourself." "Watch me," Ash said as she looked around for a door. "Where is the door?" She said turning to the Elf. "The only way out of this room is by magic," Erin said. "There's no such thing," Bron retorted.
"Ok, We can continue this conversation later but now I need to warn you that, the last person is very suspicious of people he doesn't know so don't take it personally." "Why?" Ash asked, the previous argument completely forgotten. "Well wouldn't you be to if you had a mass-murderer out to get you because you were born." The girls didn't know how to react to this and they didn't have to because a shining light in the centre of the room interrupted them.
The light went out after a few seconds leaving an extremely thin boy in its wake. He shot to his feet and looked around at them. Showing his bruised and battered face. "Who are you and what do you want?" Harry asked. "Don't worry we aren't going to hurt you, and we have nothing to do with Voldemort. Erin said. "Harry? As in Harry Potter?" Lara said. "Who's Harry Potter?" Bron asked. "He's only the most famous wizard in the world." Lara replied in a know-it- all voice. Harry groaned. "If they don't know me as that I would prefer to keep it that way." "Why?" "Do you know what it is like to walk down the street and have random people come up to you and shake your hand or thank you for something that you can't even remember?" The girls shook their heads, "Well then be grateful you are not me! Cause that is the story of my life."
"What happened to you then? You get run over by a mob of screaming fans?" Ash asked sarcastically. "Well actually to exact opposite. I had a miner disagreement with someone." He said in a still eyeing them warily. "Minor? By the looks of you I'd say major." Lara said. "Well its none of you business is it," he snapped, then he started to sway a bit, "I think you should sit down for a minute, Harry." Erin said. "Why should I listen to you?" "Because other wise." Harry collapsed, ".your going to faint. Oh well." She picked him up and placed him on a couch that was in one of the corners of the room. Harry groaned as she tried to remove his shirt.
"Bronwyn will you please go over to that cupboard over there and bring me a bowl of water and a cloth please." When she didn't move Erin continued, "Please he needs some medical attention and I need your help. If you want me to explain everything to you need to help me." With a sigh she complied to the request. "Ash will you please come around here and hold him in an upright position but be careful of his shoulders I think he has a broken collar bone, and no matter what don't let go even if something really strange happens or you will make it worse." Ash nodded and propped him up from behind. "Lara, you know some medical magic don't you?" "Yes but very little," she sounded very nervus. "Well it will have to do because I need your help. Thank you Bronwyn, "she then said taking the bowl of water and cloth.
She finished removing Harry's top and there was a synchronized gasp from the girls that would have been funny if not for the seriousness of the situation. He was almost completely covered in bruises making him look like some random piece of art that only used purples, yellows and blues. He had a bone sticking out of his chest that was meant to be his collarbone and he was so skinny that you could count his ribs and you could also see that some of his ribs were not in the shape that they were meant to be. Erin put the cloth in the bowl the rung it out before lightly trying to clean of the blood that had dried to his skin.
"Who do you think did this to him?" Ashleigh asked. "His Uncle, most likely or his Cousin." Erin said while trying to concentrate on not hurting Harry. "But why don't his parents do something about it," Bron asked. "My parents are dead." Everyone jumped as Harry tried to get up. "Harry lie down you can't walk around in this condition." Erin tried to reason. "Oh yes I can I have sent my life in this condition while doing the gardening I think I can walk around." Harry said. "We want to help you," "Well that's why I am in this condition because my friends brothers thought that if they played a trick on my Cousin that it would make me feel better. Also my Bloody Uncle thinks he is trying to help me by beating the magic out of me." "That's Barbaric!" Lara said, "you can't beat magic out of someone it's in their blood." "Well you try telling him that. Wait no don't tell him that he'll try to bleed it out of me." "Why don't you tell anyone?" Bron asked. "What? And have it all over the front page of the newspaper? No thank you."
"Lets not argue about it. Harry if you don't sit down right this second I am going to get Lara to stun you." Erin snapped, starting to get inpatient. "Why don't you do it?" He asked. "Because I would only need to knock you out for an hour not a month. Now sit. She said.
Finally Harry sat and allowed Erin to fix his injuries. But she couldn't do anything for the scars or the bruises they would have to heal themselves.

"So you mean to tell us that all through his life he has been abused by his Uncle and he hasn't told anyone because he was scared that The Daily Prophet would find out?" Sirius asked. "Yes. Now if you will excuse me I have to go make sure the heirs haven't killed each other." With that, she turned and left leaving the surprised group behind.
