She couldn't begin to imagine the pain Harry was going through. He was covered in bruises and the way he'd been crying…it just broke her heart into a million tiny pieces. He was silent now and his steady breathing was the only sign that told her that he had passed out. She smoothed her hand down his back and pressed another kiss to his forehead. She had missed him… truly missed him…but Harry wasn't safe here. She didn't know where she was supposed to hide him in this castle. The Dark Lord would kill him if he found out that he was alive, and she couldn't endure that.

Greyback cleared his throat and spoke,

"What do you propose we do with these two?"

She glared at the two men and spoke,

"Let me talk to them and then you can have one of them."

She was about to pull away from Harry when he murmured something incoherently and a distressed expression twisted his ravaged features. Greyback spoke,

"Maybe, you ought to take care of him first. He doesn't look good."

She pulled him back to her chest and Harry's body relaxed once again. She couldn't bear to fathom what would have happened if Greyback had gone to Voldemort instead of her. She knew somewhere deep down, Greyback had grown to care for Harry and that was the only reason he'd come to her. She ran her fingers through Harry's unruly matted hair and murmured,

"Yes, he isn't fine."

Greyback stepped closer,

"You do know that the Dark Lord will find out what about him sooner or later."

She knew that and the prospect was terrifying her. There was no place that was actually safe for Harry inside the castle,

"Could you keep him with you?"

Greyback's eyebrows rose,

"Are you serious, Bellatrix? Where will I keep him?"

She held him tighter in her arms and spoke,

"In your den, of course."

Greyback scoffed,

"I won't take responsibility for him in the state he's in. The only reason I called you here is because I knew you could take care of him."

She didn't care if she had to beg Greyback…she was willing to go to any lengths for Harry's safety,

"Please, Fenrir. I'll heal him. Just keep him with you for one day. Tomorrow night, he'll be fine enough to leave this forest again and that'll be the end of it."

Greyback rubbed his chin thoughtfully and then spoke,

"Fine."

She conjured a thick blanket and wrapped Harry up in it,

"Harry…sugar…"

Harry didn't respond and Greyback bent down beside her and pulled Harry's limp form in his arms. Werewolves were known for their immense body heart and that was probably why Harry snuggled against Greyback's warm chest. Greyback looked uncomfortable but she didn't miss the fondness in his eyes as he corrected the blanket,

"Bring these two along, Silas. Make sure that they are secured."

Silas nodded and Greyback began making his way through the forest and she fell in step with him. She'd never been to the wolves' den. Small, loose stones littered the floor as they got closer to the rock face. The entrance of the cave was so small she almost missed it. The cave was built into the muddy brown rock of the cliff, the stone guarding the entrance was jagged and uneven, arranged in such a way, that it would be difficult to spot. The insides of the cave was enveloped and lost in the blackness. She had to move around by following the damp wall of the cave with her hands. All of a sudden, flaming torches sparked to life, lighting up the tunnel ahead and bathing the entire cavern in a flickering orange glow. Greyback led her through the tunnel and she noticed several small alcoves that were probably rooms for werewolves.

Greyback walked straight past them to a point where the tunnel divided into two separate pathways. One of them was lit while the other was pure darkness. The sound of those two yelling and screaming reverberated around the cave. She wanted to torture them into oblivion…she yearned to kill them in the most painful way possible for what they had done to Harry and that boy…Collin… Greyback paused and watched as Silas dragged the two of them down the darker path and shouted after them,

"Gag them. I don't want their noise."

Harry whimpered in his senselessness and Greyback gave her an uncertain look. She assured him with her eyes and he began walking towards the lit tunnel and into an alcove that was larger than all the others she'd seen. A pallet was set up on the floor which was supposed to be a bed. Greyback laid Harry down on it and straightened up,

"You said you would heal him."

She nodded and knelt on the pallet beside Harry's limp body. Pulling the blanket away, she unbuttoned Harry's shirt and growled… behind her she heard Greyback's growl as well. There wasn't an inch of his body that wasn't covered in marks or injuries,

"Oh, Harry…"

Fresh tears slid down her cheeks and a sob escaped her lips,

"Calm yourself, Bellatrix. Clearly this is not the worst state he's been in."

It wasn't. He'd endured worse and survived but the fact that those two swines had done this to her Harry set her insides on fire. No, she would certainly make them pay and Harry would watch it happen. Greyback's voice snapped her out of her thoughts,

"Heal him. It'll be dawn soon."

That was enough to spur her into action. Half an hour later, Harry looked far more alive…far more like the Harry she remembered. She'd changed his clothes and cleaned him up. She pressed a kiss to his forehead as she rose to her feet,

"Feed him when he wakes up, please."

Greyback nodded and she tucked Harry back into the blanket,

"I'll be back tomorrow night, Sugar. Just get better."

And with that she walked away.
