Chapter Six
Previously...........
"Well maybe." Lilly said. "But for know we need to get you check up on by Madam Pomfrey."
They made there out of the office and Harry sat on top of James shoulders smiling in what
seemed like a long time, a true smile.
And on with the story...
If Harry were outside he would have swallowed at least ten flies because his mouth was open from shock. The staircases moved, there were ghosts in the halls, students turned things into bats instead of reciting their multiplication table, and there was a man at least ten feet tall. (An/: Hagrid). Several of the older students greeted Lilly, James, Sirius and Remus who knew them when they were at Hogwarts and asked what they were doing there.
Harry figured they were teachers but James said, "We are aurors Harry, kind of like the pleasemen you have. We catch evil wizards and Dumbledore wanted us to come down for a meeting." Harry looked at him slightly baffled before Lilly explained he was talking about policemen.
They soon arrived at the hospital wing to meet the plump lady Harry saw earlier and guessed was Madam Pompfry. The hospital wing had several students all ready in it. One of them seemed to have sprouted boils all over their face and another could only speak in German and jumped every time you mentioned the word fluffy towels.
"Now Harry, I'm just going to give you a check-up all right?" asked Madam Pompfrey. Harry nodded. "Lift up your shirt sweetie" she said while grabbing her stethoscope. They all gasped and Harry quickly tried pulling his shirt back on but, Lilly had taken it and was once again teary-eyed.
All of Harry's ribs showed and he had several bruises and numerous cuts. "Harry," said James as patiently as he could muster. "Do you get any food at the Dursleys?"
Harry didn't answer. He feared the Dursley's would find out and he would be in more trouble if he had to return. "It's very important you tell us Harry." James continued trying to comfort Lilly. "You can trust us. We are your parents and I want to help you feel better."
"Not much" Harry finally answered.
"About those bruises Harry," Sirius said solemnly. Harry looked at him and answered, "Well sometimes my uncle gets a bit mad or Dudley my cousin, gets kind of bored." Harry didn't want them to feel sorry for him so he said, "Don't worry it's not so bad and I deserved it because I was an orphan."
Lilly stood up outraged, "Who told you that! You didn't deserve any of that!" James look like he would cry and Sirius and Remus seemed bewildered.
"Aunt Petunia," Harry muttered.
"I should have known." She said. "Listen Harry, your Aunt and Uncle are not good people at all and they are wrong okay. Nobody deserves any of the things they put you through!" She continued, "Harry, I love you and we are never going to let any of this happen to you again."
Harry looked up at her nodding and said, "You lo..lov...love me?" He whispered. "Nobody's ever said that to me before."
"O Harry!" She cried. "Of course I love you! We all love you so never forget that allright?" she said as all three marauders nodded in agreement. "Okay Mum" Harry said smiling.
Madam Pompfrey took Harry's blood pressure, weighed him , and did several other procedures before letting Harry go. She gave him a lollipop and told him his parents would only be a minute as she took them into her office and shut the door.
Harry leaned against the door hoping to hear something put sat down with his lollipop in defeat and instead looked out the window at students on broomsticks. He was very eager to try himself.
"Harry is suffering from malnourishment, verbal abuse, and physical abuse." She said solemnly. "Now, I can help the malnourishment is something I can help with." She said handing Lilly a bag with about ten potions in it. "He should have one every night before going to bed and when you get low just owl me and I'll have some delivered once we know what is going on."
"And the verbal and physical abuse Madam Pompfrey?" asked James.
"That my dear I can not help with." She said. "I can only prescribe an heavy dose of love." She answered. "Show him what happened was wrong and don't hold back and letting him know how much you care about him. "O yes, one more thing, Dumbledore suspects there is something special about Harry and had me run some tests on him. I found a small scar in the shape of a lightning bolt on his forehead that was the result of a strong curse."
"What kind of curse Madam Pompfrey?" Lilly asked.
"Now, I not be correct..." Madam Pompfrey started but was cut off by Sirius who said, "When have you ever been wrong?"
This was true. Never could any of them remember Madam Pompfrey being wrong about anything when it came to health issues.
Madam Pomfrey smiled at his compliment and said, "Well it appears that Harry has survive the killing curse though I don't know how."
For the second time that day Lilly fainted into James arms.
Okay... I'm sorry, really I am and I will try to stop with big cliffhangers. Was this chapter too dramatic for the issue? I wasn't sure. Sorry if it's short but the next chapter will be much longer. Review Please!
