We get to find out what's wrong with Harry in this one folks. Aren't you so looking forward to it! Anyway. Here it is. I hope it meets with your expectations-or doesn't as the case may be.

The Other Way

I knew the psychiatric ward. This was where George had been for months after Fred's death, kicking and screaming. It had been the most frightening experience of my life, after seeing Percy take that spell for me. I didn't like this ward-sure, they were here to help as much as our unit was, but it was different here. In our unit there were problems we could deal with. Here, well, some people just couldn't be helped. Like George. He still wasn't better, but taking him out of England had helped.

"Hi." I said to the medi witch behind the admissions desk. "I'm here for Harry Potter."

"Fourth door on your right." She smiled.

"Thanks." I made my way to the door, but I never got a chance to go in. a medi wizard stepped out, frowned at me, then smiled.

"Yes?"

"Hi, I'm here for Harry Potter." I told him.

"Mr. Potter is speaking to a specialist right now. I'll tell him you were here, he won't be having visitors I'm afraid. Your name?" he asked.

"Oh, sorry. Ronald Weasely."

"From the trauma unit?" he asked.

I nodded.

"I didn't know they were sending someone down. I was just about to send up the analysis to you."

I shrugged. "I actually came down to see Harry, but I can take the notes up if I can't see him. Could you maybe explain what's wrong with him?" I was pushing the line here, but these psychiatrists never made any sense when they wrote things down.

He took my arm and led me to their staff room and ushered me to a seat. "Actually, there's a few peculiarities, perhaps you could help me, as you seem to know the patient. Mr. Potter has…. Well, for lack of a better way to describe it-he craves complete control over something. We feel that the thing just happened to be your victim. But the interesting thing is, that Mr. Potter had developed a complete other personality for this controlling urge. He actually cannot remember." He gave me a long look. "Has Mr. Potter normally had control in his life?"

I blinked at the question. "What-oh-no, not really. Harry's always had all these things thrown at him-like being the boy who lived, the slayer of the dark lord. He never really had the chance to say no."

"Ah yes, we do tend to forget that our hero's might not want to be."

"But what made him so… so physically abusive?" The Harry I know isn't like that."

"The only reason someone with a controlling personality will get violent is when the person or thing they are controlling doesn't act accordingly."

I nodded, it made sense. "Draco was always strong willed, he never stood for anything like that, he would have fought it all the way." It explained a lot as well, it had to have taken some amount of damage to make Draco Malfoy that submissive.

"But." The man said, drawing my attention back to him. "Mr. Potter's primary personality, your Harry Potter, obviously dislikes this kind of thing. He pushed it back, pretended it wasn't happening, pretending it would go away and because of this he developed a secondary personality. The one who would do all the things he didn't like. Then he could forget it-it was someone else, and move on with his life. So to your Harry Potter, after the first few times, there was no abuse going on, and as your victim became easier to control the secondary personality receded slightly. But it is not uncommon for the secondary personality to re-emerge because it enjoys what it does so much."

So Draco's inability to react, or his certain reactions to things came from not knowing which side of Harry he was dealing with. "So what you're saying is that on minute Harry could be nice and kind, and the next he could be beating the living hell out of someone?"

"Crudely put, Mr. Weasely, but yes, basically that's it."

I took the file and left the ward, my head spinning. So technically Harry and victimised and controlled Draco through whatever means he thought he should. But it wasn't Harry, not really, just the really sadistic and violent part of him.

Merlin I didn't know what to do.

I decided that visiting Percy would probably help, it always did. Just being near him always made me sure things would work out ok. I don't know why, maybe it was because he had always been so sure of everything.

Yes, visiting Percy was a very good idea.#
