Chapter two
Harry awoke to Fawks nudging him gently. He could tell he was smaller, but before he could see the rest of his appearance Fawks placed a letter in his hands.
Harry,
I am certain you just found out you are the son of my charms professor and need to talk to the man. He wishes to speak with you also. This letter is a portkey, (I apologize in advance but this is the safest way to get here, I promise it will take you to my office.) just state your real name.
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster of Hogwarts, etc.
He stated, "Fredrick Jon Flitwick" and disappeared with a tug at his navel.
A/N Thought about ending it here but I am not that cruel!
He landed in the headmaster's office but could not see it all he saw was a graveyard as his nightmares took hold.
Albus saw the trembling lad on the floor and his heart broke. He hated to make the child remember such things but at the time he had no other choice. He gathered the child up in his arms and sat behind his desk to wait for Filius to come. He sat there rocking the boy and softly rubbing his bony back trying to calm the boy down. He took this time to observe the changes. His once dark hair was strawberry blonde just like his dad before it turned grey. His eyes were still as green as before and retained the shape of his mum's. The child was very tiny even more so then Filius he had thought he would be slightly taller than his dad due to his mum's stature he was also too skinny for his own good something was definitely wrong.
"Headmaster! Is he here?" asked Flitwick as he rushed in, then paused seeing his son trembling and distraught in the headmaster arms. "Flashback" Dumbledore whispered continuing to rock.
Flitwick scampered to Albus' side and placed a child like hand on his boy's back whispering a calming spell, which worked instantaneously.
Harry lifted his head whispering a soft apology. Both men assured him it was okay and quite understandable.
Dumbledore looked into the eyes of his young protégé lifted him up as he got off his chair " We have to get you to the hospital wing, my boy," he said as he strode out of his office. "Why Albus, did something happen with the charms?" squeaked Flitwick. "No Filius, I just want Poppy to check something out." Albus kept walking. "Sir, does she know?" "Yes the staff already knows, Filius got his letter a week ago but we wanted you to get yours before getting you. Now do not freak out but I have a group of people fighting for the light, all of whom are trustworthy, they were told yesterday to better prepare for the war ahead since you are a major fighter in this war." He replied placing him down on the bed. "Poppy can you come here a sec.?" He called over towards her office.
"Yes?" she came out reading some parchment. "Could you check Harry's over all health including nutrient levels?" He inquired. "No problem" she replied waving her wand at Harry. "Albus what's wrong?" Inquired the new found Father.
"Filius you are 3'6" and Lilly was 5'6", Harry should be a little taller than you are, yet he is approx. 3'2" and as thin as a pole" he replied glancing at the lad in question. "Here's the list, Albus" Poppy stated handing him a sheet of parchment.
Bruise on right side
Fractured rib on right side
Tears on scalp (probably from excessive tugging of the hair)
Malnutrition
Stunted growth due to confined space at early age and malnutrition
He glanced at Harry, handed him the page and asked how each occurred. "Uh, the bruise and rib came from Dudley pushing me into the wall, the tears from my uncle pulling my hair, I was not fed enough and you already knew I grew up in a cupboard my letter of acceptance had it on it," he replied. Albus' eyes blazed "No I did not the letters are magically addressed I never saw it. I cannot believe they would do that! Thank all gods you have a dad to stay with, otherwise I do not know what I would do." His anger was ovious on the normally calm and serene face ashe walked out of the infirmary returning with Professor Snape and a bottle of nutrient potion. "Mr. Flitwick take this once a day for a week, it should help with the vitamins you do not have." Professor Snape advised placing the vile in Harry's hand.
"Harry one other thing I must address," began Albus sitting down. "Harry Potter is going into hiding and Freddie Flitwick is transferring to Hogwarts how does that sound? You will have a normal life like you always wanted." "Sounds okay what of my friends?" "All ready know, you met them before school started due to your need to meet kids your age before coming." Albus smiled as Filius took his newfound son to their quarters.
A/N Auggh! Long chappie! Should Sevie have a soft spot for tiny Freddie? Let me know! Review please! And remember Flitwick loves you!
