Chapter 3: Distrust

When Harry Potter woke the next morning, he was surprised to find out his wasn't locked under the stairs anymore. He started to wonder if this was another dream, but then he realized there were several people around his bed, like Madam Pomfrey and Professor Dumbledore. He suddenly realized where he was. The last place in the world he would ever want to go. Grimmauld Place. Flashes of his godfather went through his mind. Sirius singing to Christmas carols, Helping Mrs Weasley with dinner, Arguing with Snape, The jet of red light hitting Sirius as his body curved and fell into the veil. Harry couldn't stay here.

He suddenly realized someone was talking to him.

'Harry? How are you feeling?' It was Dumbledore.

Harry didn't even respond.

'Do you care to tell us how you got these injuries? We have suspicions but please tell us.'

Harry looked into the somber blue eyes. He still didn't utter a word.

'Please Harry we need to know. I know it's been hard lately but we really need to know.' It was Lupin.

But Harry didn't want to tell them. He deserved what he got. It was his fault Sirius died. He didn't want their sympathy. He didn't deserve it. So instead of the truth he replied

'I fell down the stairs.'

This was half true, as Dudley had pushed him down the stairs several times.

'Harry, we know that's not the truth. It was something or someone else, wasn't it.'

Harry just shrugged ' Who cares? I'm fine.'

'You are not fine! Please Harry! Tell us, or we will have to find out another way.' Lupin begged.

Harry just ignored him. Then the next minute his nose was being blocked and something was being poured down his throat. He coughed and spluttered.

'Harry, how did you get these injuries?' Lupin asked.

It was then that the realization hit Harry. They had just forced him to drink Verusitisum (AN: spelling?).

'My Uncle and cousin beat me.' The words just came tumbling out of his mouth. 'I also fell of the roof.'

Dumbledore nodded sadly, looking older than ever before.

'I'm sorry Harry. I put you there. I thought it would protect you but obviously not. Please tell us what your uncle and cousin did to get you this way.'

Harry bit his lip so hard it bled. He wasn't going to answer him, no matter what.

'Harry? What did they do?'

The words spilled from Harry's lips uncontrollably

'They starved me, kicked me, hit me, and pushed me and anything they could think of.'

Harry managed not to add anything else.

'How often Harry? Lupin asked

'Since I was 4.'

Shocked gasps were heard around the room. Harry no longer cared. He wanted to get out of here. He did the only thing he could think of – he ran.

Obviously he didn't get far as he realized his injuries were not fully healed and he collapsed into a heap beside his bed.

'Let me out! I hate it here! I hate you! I hate you all! No wonder I don't trust anyone! Look what happens when I almost trusted you guys? You force me to talk about things I don't want to! Things I hate! You all think I'm supposed to be perfect but I'm not!' Harry screamed.

He felt strong hands push him back into bed and he felt a cool potion slide down his throat. 30 seconds later he had fallen into a deep, dreamless sleep.

Was that ok? Hope so! Sorry 'bout the wait! My dad finally got word installed again so the spellings probably better!

Please review!

Next chap – Hermione and Ron come to see Harry. Harry gets angry. Stuff gets broken! Warning- Don't get Harry pissed off!

I'll try get it up whenever I can!
