Chapter Five - Taking Charge

Harry didn't sleep during the night, screaming out with each pound of thunder, watching as the lighting made monsters dance around the walls of his room. He screamed for his Daddy to come and take him home, to come and protect him from the monsters.

Harry let out a small moan as the sunrise poked through the top window, sending a beam of light over his bed, he watched as the doorknob jiggled as one of the Healers came in.

"Look at this mess you made."The Healer scolded picking up the pillow and blankets that Harry tossed on the floor last night.

"No one got any sleep last night because of you, up all night screaming." The Healer said tossing the blankets and pillow back on the bed before she started to change Harry for the day.

Harry gave out a moan, kicking his legs a little and rolling over on his side, wanting the woman to leave him alone.

"Stop fussing." The Healer told, pushing Harry back onto his back and yanking off his pants along with the two diapers, not even bothering to clean Harry up before she placed two clean diapers under him and tightly did the up. Delivering a hard smack to Harry's bottom after she was done.

"I said stop fussing!" The Healer yelled before yanking off Harry's top and getting him dressed for the day.

Harry screamed out in pain as the slap was delivered, with the diaper rash it felt like he was being stabbed, a sharp pain traveling down his right leg.

Harry reached up and grabbed the stuffed owl that Minerva brought him yesterday. He couldn't understand why his Daddy wouldn't come back, why he wouldn't take him back home. Harry kept thinking that he must have done something wrong for his Daddy to send him away. He kept trying to think what was so bad that his Daddy would send him away.

Perhaps that bad man was right, he was too much trouble, he should be grateful that he wasn't put back in the cage in the cold dark room.

Harry let out a small moan as he was picked up and placed in the wheelchair and tightly buckled up, yesterday he was forced to spend all day in his chair. He tried and tried to get Minerva to take him out but a woman sent her away and put him to bed.

"Come on you don't need this." The Healer said, trying to take the owl away.

Harry moaned, pulling the owl away from her, this was the only thing he had left of his home and he was going to keep it.

"Fine." The Healer snapped. "You know what's going to happen to you today? You're going to get your stomach cut open since you won't eat, you know how that is going to feel?" The Healer said before pushing Harry out of the room and down the hall.

Meanwhile, back at Hogwarts, Severus was fuming, he was doing everything he could not to go down to St Mungo's and kill all the Healers on sight.

"Severus?" Minerva said cautiously never seeing Severus this angry before not even when that first year burned off his eyebrows. She still couldn't believe that Severus charmed the owl in the first place, they were supposed to do this by the book, she didn't even know if a judge would even except the charmed owl since it wasn't approved and she was sure that Severus broke some kind of law.

"No!" Severus yelled "No, I don't care. We are going to the Ministry of Magic and we are showing them this. I don't care what happens to me. I just want Harry home, safe and sound. He needs to be home where he belongs." Severus cried, grabbing the crystal before heading to the floo with Minerva following right behind.

Severus was right, they needed to get Harry out of that place as soon as possible.

It was now nine o'clock at night when Harry was put to bed by one of the Healers. Harry couldn't help but let out a small whimper as the movement made the ouchie in his stomach come back full force. Harry didn't understand what had happened today, all he knew was that the tube that was placed in his nose was removed and something was placed inside of his tummy with something being placed over it so he couldn't touch or pull it out.

It left a redness around the skin, making the skin itch like crazy. Harry did everything he could to make it stop in the end when he couldn't get it to stop he started to scream, pulling at the bandage that wrapped around it to stop him from pulling it out. It ended when the Healers gave him something to drink that made his ouchie go away but was making him kinda sleepy.

Harry couldn't understand why these people were doing this. His head, bottom, and now stomach hurt, and no one was making it better, his daddy always made it better. All Harry wanted to be his daddy to make everything better.

A tear fell down Harry's face as he laid in the bed. Turning his head to the side to look up at the window, squinting a little when he saw a little stick figure lined out by the moonlight.

At first, he thought it was a monster and let out a small whimper before he remembered something that Hagrid told him. There was a creature that looked like a stick from a tree, another thing that Hagrid told him that these creatures could open doors.

Harry bit his bottom lip a little before he pulled the blankets off, grabbed his stuff owl, and stood up. Crying out as he felt like his legs were going to break at any moment. Harry got down on his hands and knees and pulled out his leg braces that were under the bed. Placing them on and doing them up the best that he could before standing back up again and going to the window picking up the small creature.

Harry made his way over to the door and watched for footsteps through the crack of the door before he held his hand out flat so the small creature could open the door for him. He gave a small smile when he heard the click of the door with the door slowly opening up and with that Harry was out.
