Chapter 3

Rescue from Near Death

Back at Privet Drive- 10am

Harry blearily opened his eyes. His head was throbbing really badly. He moved his hand to touch his scar. It throbbed even worse and Harry felt like he was going to pass out. He removed his hand and saw blood. My Scars Bleeding? Thought Harry. He turned his head to look at the clock. It was 10am and Uncle Vernon hadn't shown up for his daily beating. Harry laid on his bed listening to the sounds around him. There weren't really any at all. There was no footsteps, no snores, no talking, and no nothing. It's was silent except for the birds and people outside.

Weird! Thought Harry. Where is everyone? Harry pushed his glasses back up his nose. They were quite cracked but Harry could still use them- Just Barely. He strained to see the piece of paper taped to the beside table. The day was circled. It was the day to send a note to the order. Harry tried to get out of bed but it was no use. All he felt was pain. He collapsed back on the bed.


Crawfield House at 10am

Brooke awoke and sat up in bed. She immediately had to lie back down- she had a major headache. The sun was steaming in through her windows. My head hurts! Who was the boy called Harry I kept seeing! Oh No! He needs my help! He is pain! Thought Brooke. She sat up and gingerly slipped out of bed. She could hear Josh and Maria running around in the Hall, laughing about something. She slowly pulled on a dressing gown hanging from her bedpost and put on her slippers. She had to sit back down to stop her head from spinning. What is going on? Brooke looked over to her clock. It read 10:05am.

Brooke slowly got up and moved towards the bathroom. Every couple of steps she had to stop, her head wouldn't stop spinning. She had reached the bathroom door and turned the knob. Suddenly she doubled up in pain. It lasted a second and than left. She shakily got off the floor. She stepped into the bathroom and ran a hot bath. As she sat in the bath she felt little spasms of pain. What is going on? She thought as she lowered herself further into the water. Letting the warm water relax her muscles.


At Grimmuald Place: 11am

Ginny's eyes fluttered open. She felt two warm bodies on her sides. One was Fred and the other was George. Ron was asleep next the Fred and had one arm over the side of the bed. The twins each had one arm flung protectively across Ginny. Ginny smiled. It felt nice to have brothers that cared about you this much. It reminded her of when she was very little. When there were big thunderstorms in the summer Ginny always got frightened. All her brothers would come in to her room. The bed would magically expand and they'd all hop in to the bed with her so she wouldn't be frightened.

Those were the mornings she loved waking up to. Having her six brothers all asleep with their tongues out the side of their mouths. Bill and Charlie used to always sleep right next to her. When they got older, the twins took over sleeping next to her.

Ginny moved and Fred stirred. He raised his hand and pulled her hair out of her eyes. "You alright Gin" he asked sleepily. "Ginny moved over to him a little and hugged him "Thankyou for staying with me." She whispered. "Its alright. We are your brothers. Its our job" came George's voice as he hugged her from behind. "Yeah, ditto" mumbled Ron. Fred moved to lay on his back. "When do you think they'll get Harry out of there?" Ginny's eyes widen "Oh No! Harry! I have to go with them. I have to go to Harry."

"Easy sis!" I heard mum talking to dad a little while earlier as they watched us from the doorway. It was really early in the morning and they were talking. Harry's being picked up by Remus, Charlie, Tonks and Moody at around 3pm." Said George stretching. Ron yawned and sat up. He rubbed his eyes "Don't worry Ginny. Harry will be here in no time and Mum will make him good as new". Fred grunted "You make it sound like he's a doll who has a ripped arm and mum's going to go sew his arm back together". Ginny sat up and drew up here knees. George sat up and hugged her.

"You really like him don't you?" George whispered loud enough for all of them to hear." Ginny nodded. "Don't worry. We'll make sure he sees you as a potential girlfriend. I have a feeling he likes you but doesn't have enough guts to tell you. After all he did yell out to you for help. Didn't He?" said Fred Wisely which surprised everyone. "Fred's right. We'll help you guys get together!" mumbled Ron.

Ginny smiled "Thanks".

"Can we get some breaky now? I'm STARVING," groaned Ron. Everyone laughed, jumped out of bed and went down to the kitchen.


Privet Drive: 2pm

Harry had laid in bed all day. He was having trouble breathing and kept seeing black spots. He'd figured no one was home and suspected that the Dursley's had gone on Holidays somewhere. I'm just glad I don't have to be beaten today! I feel like I'm going to die! He thought. The next hour came very slowly. The black spots in front of his eyes were growing bigger and bigger by the minute. Harry's eyes began to flutter closed when he heard a door being opened. He was slipping unconscious when he felt him self being picked up.


Last Part from the Orders P.O.V

Remus, Tonks, Charlie and Moody found themselves In the Dursley's backyard after portakeying to fetch Harry. Remus was very worried. He hoped Ginny's visions weren't real. They walked up to the backdoor and Moody unlocked it with Alohamora. They walked in through the dining room. It was quite. There was nobody home and a quick look out the front confirmed that the car was gone. They made their way upstairs to Harry's bedroom. Tonks reached out and turned the handle. The door swung open to reveal Harry's room. Tonks gave a small gasp and fell to the floor. Charlie, Moody and Remus stared horrified around the room. There was blood and dirt everywhere. There was food rotting, dirty clothes, letters and utter chaos in the room.

The worst thing was Harry. Remus and the others cautiously moved towards the bed. "Tonks and Charlie. You guys start packing Harry's things and cleaning up this room. Than leave the note to the Dursley's on Harry's desk." Ordered Moody. Tonks and Charlie nodded and began to use magic to clean Harry's room and to pack his trunk. Moody and Remus stood at Harry's bed, staring at the boy who they cared for. He appeared to be unconscious. His face was bruised and his eyes had great big black circles under them. He was deathly pale and a look under his shirt made the fear for the worst. He was so thin you could see all his bones. His rib caged looked red and inflamed. There were infected bruises on his stomach and chest. His arm and ribs seemed to be broken and he may have had a fractured leg.

There were big long deep cuts on his stomach, arms, back, legs and face. On his stomach was a particularly nasty deep cut. It was open and spelled out Freak. "Oh Harry what did they do to you?" Whispered Remus. Moody was examining Harry and had actual tears running down his face. "I'll kill those fucking Dursley's. I know that Fucking Vernon did it. I know it." Growled Moody. Tonks and Charlie appeared on the other side of the bed. "Were done," whispered Tonks. Tonks was crying as she watched Harry and Charlie looked like he was going to be sick. Remus gently bent down and picked up Harry. Tonks, Charlie and Moody picked up Harry's stuff and than grabbed on to the portakey Remus was holding. There was the familiar whoosh and than they appeared in the Hallway of Grimmuald Place.

When they arrived Mrs Weasley, Albus and Madame Pomphrey were already waiting. When they saw Harry, some of their worsts fears were realised.
