HARRY POTTER WHEN SECRETS COME OUT
I DON'T OWN ANYTHING
Chapter 7
When they saw Harry, their surprise turned into anger. Snape was shocked. He always thought that Harry's muggle relatives treated him like royalty. He expected to see them waiting on Harry hand and foot. Never in a million years would he have guessed that they beat him.
Harry had a black eye that looked like it had been there a while, a split lip, a broken nose and what looked like a knife wound on his side. Who knew what other bruises would show up in an hour. They would have to have to get help. Snape quickly stunned the Dursleys.
Dumbledore told Snape to got back to Hogworts and bring back Madam Pomfrey back. Dumbledore lead Harry to a chair so he could sit down. He turned to Draco and asked the shocked boy to get some rags from the kitchen. When Draco came back, they quickly put some pressure on the cut on his side. Then he asked.
"Harry are you all right?" when Harry nodded. "Do you think you can tell me what happened?"
He was getting ready to answered then Madam Pomfrey rushed in the room with a flick of her wand his shirt was gone. She checked him over and turned to the headmaster and said.
"I will have him patched in a couple minutes. Madam Pomfrey turned to Harry and said. I see you enough during the school year. I don't want to see you until the start of term."
While the nurse worked on Harry Albus and Snape was talking about what to do about the Dursleys. Draco was watching the telly with interest. He never saw one before.
After patching up Harry the nurse left. Everyone attention was turned to Harry.
"Harry can. You tell me what happened?" The Headmaster asked.
"The Dursleys found out that I had you come over yesterday. They knew you had to be wizards because I have never had muggle friends." Harry explained.
"Is this the first time that they physically hurt you?"
"No, They have always been like this for as long as I can remember. "This is only the second time they hit me this summer because Mad-eye Moody threatened them at Kings cross. Yesterday afternoon Dudley broke his telly and told Uncle Verenon that I kicked it. That is when got the black eye.
"I see is that all they do?" Dumbledore asked.
"Since I have started Hogwarts, they haven't been that bad. I now get to stay in Dudley's second room. This summer they have been feeding me more. So it has been that bad lately." Harry said.
"Where did you sleep before Hogwarts?" Asked Professor Snape.
"Until I was eleven, I slept in the cupboard under the stairs." Harry answered.
"Harry, I will talk with your family about their behavior but, I need you to stay with them until your birthday. I will find another place for you to stay next year. "
When Harry agreed, Albus asked Severus to talk with Harry about the portkey while he talked to Harry's family.
After Albus was in the kitchen with the Dursleys. Professor Snape talked to Harry. Harry agreed to have Draco portkey to his room in case of an emergency. Harry showed them to his room so the portkey could be set up. Once they were in the room, Harry informed them that he was going to get cleaned up and left the room.
Draco was looking around the room wondering how anyone could stand sleeping in this room. He never would have thought that Harry would be living like this.
Professor Snape was thinking the same thing but, he could do something about it. He pulled out his wand and set about fixing the room. When he was done instead of a tattered twin bed there was a new queen size bed. The bed had a green comforter with lots of pillows. He also got rid of Dudley's broken toys. He knew he had been wrong about Harry's life at home and he would have to rethink his opinion of Harry.
He never got to know Harry he just assumed he was like his father. 'Wait Harry wasn't James's. Great I have been punishing him for looking like James Potter. Then he remembered Harry was not a boy. They were beating a girl. They need to get her out of this house as soon as possible. If this was how they treated a boy he didn't want to think about how they might treat a girl.
Dumbledore joined everyone back in the living room. "Harry. I had a talk with your family. "There agreed to leave you alone for the next few days. I have also contacted the Ministry of Magic. Fudge has agreed to let you use magic during the summer. So you can defend yourself. I will not leave you here any longer than necessary. I will have Tonks and Remus pick you up at 8:00 on your birthday so please have all your things together you will not be returning.
With that said everyone left.
