Harry returned from the quidditch pitch. They had won the first game of the season a few weeks before ad there was not another game till March but they still had practice two days a week of course. The weather was horrible even though it was only the third Friday in November. He was half frozen. He decided he wanted a proper bath. He did not feel like heading down to the dungeons so he headed to the prefect bathroom instead, the ones in their dorms did not have big tubs. George escorted him to the bathroom. He had kept his promise to his dad to never be alone in the corridors. He knew he could see anyone who had come in.
George kissed him. "Are you sure you can't just take a shower or head down to the dungeons? I don't like leaving you here by yourself."
Harry returned the kiss. "You know you could always join me in the bath. I promise not to look."
Laughing George reminded him that he had to meet with Fred and his transfiguration group in the library for a bit. Harry pouted for a bit but they both laughed. George knew that Harry understood. Molly thought their relationship was the best thing to happen to her son. Harry had helped her son crack down in studying. She did now know much help Harry had been to helping the twins hopefully follow their dreams of buying Zonko's when they graduated.
George looked at the door. "You will keep your head towards the door and your wand near you. You will not take your eyes off from anything."
Harry nodded and pushed his boyfriend off towards the library. "I promise. And I will wait till you come back for me. I promise you."
After turning back for one last kiss George disappeared off towards the library. Harry laughed and shook his head. He loved George. And his boyfriend's concern for him meat the world to him. He was grateful George was so understanding. He knew few seventeen year olds that were not looking for a more physical relationship. But George understood. He knew that Harry was still having trouble facing going all the way. The abuse from his childhood and the dreams were both making it hard. His dad and Uncle Moony both assured him it was normal. After what h had experience. And George had assured him he was willing to be slow and patient with him. Harry knew George was telling the truth. His boyfriend loved him deeply. And before they got together Harry was a member of his family. But he still felt some guilt.
Harry slipped out of his clothes and down into the bath. The water was amazingly warm. He felt his muscles relaxing as the water soaked his muscles. The team really should have had a bath instead of showers in their locker rooms. He definitely enjoyed the perk of being a prefect.
He was a bit surprised when a ghost appeared in the bathroom. "Moaning Myrtle, what are you doing in here? This is the male prefect's bathroom?"
Myrtle smiled. "My bathroom is just down the hall and no one comes and visits any more. I sometimes come and visit you down here."
Of course no one had used her bathroom. She had been killed in it. She was more annoying then Peeves. At least he was funny. She had no sense of humour. And she was easily insulted. You could send her off into on of her tangents by almost saying nothing. The girls would go up or down a floor to avoid from using her bathroom unless thy could not possibly make it to another one. The boys' prefect bathroom, open to prefects to all houses, was the closest to hers. He might have been gay and she might have been a ghost but he still did not like her around when he was naked. He had never bathed in here before as he usually would have gone to the dungeons but he didn't think that he would be coming in there again if he had her company to look forward to.
She floated right above the water. "You know you are one of the best looking ones I have seen in here. I never had a boyfriend you know when I was alive."
Harry made sure the bubbles were covering his parts. "Well that is a pity. But I think my boyfriend would appreciate if you were not looking at my body parts."
Giggling she dived into the water and he hoped she was gone. He did not think that ghosts were that curious. But she reappeared again. Harry was turning as red as his robes. He knew this was stupid. She was a ghost. He should not have been this uncomfortable around her. But he definitely was. He wanted to get out of the bath but for some reason she was bothering him. He knew it had something to do with the dreams. In the dreams someone was always watching him. The ghost had nothing to do with it. He was jut being jumpy and out of sorts from the odd vision he had been having.
He was trying to ignore her and enjoy his bath and ignore her but he realized with time he was starting to grow slightly light headed. He thought he had likely been in the water far too long. He started to think he heard the door open but when he looked up he saw no one.
He looked at the host for the first time on purpose. "Did you hear someone come in here Myrtle?"
The ghost shook her head. "No one came in. You look to be sweating. Maybe you should be getting out of the bath."
Though he knew she was trying to see more of him but she made sense. He had never felt like this after a bath. But he had been in freezing weather all day. He had jumped into a hot bath right after it. He should have been expecting this. And he knew h had been in the bath longer then he had thought. Deciding h needed to simply ignore Moaning Myrtle for she was not going away he climbed out of the bath and reached for one of the towels to dry off. He was getting a bit light headed when he swore once again he saw the bloody lizard off in the corner.
He dried quicker then he normally would have. But he was reaching down for his clothes when the dizzy spell struck him worse and before he knew it he had collapsed to the ground. His head was spinning and he was losing consciousness but he could swear there was someone who was close to him. He could hear their breathing. He had sworn he had heard someone come in but he had not seen them and Moaning Myrtle had said there was no one. He noticed the ghost seemed to be gone.
He saw someone looming over him just before the world went totally black on him. "There you go, off to dream land you go. Make it easier for me."
Harry could not see the face but he could feel the hands pulling the towel wrapped around his waist free. "No. You can't do this to me."
He was shushed as he was lowered down into his back. He did not know what was happening. It felt like the one time he had visited Professor Trewlaney in her class. The incense that she burned always made the room so hot and the perfume choked him. He slipped into oblivion but he felt hands all over him and he knew what was about to happen to him. But he had no idea what would happen to him.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Harry woke up. His body was aching all over and he had no idea what was wrong with him. He had a splitting headache. He remembered feeling light headed from the bath but this time he remembered. He remembered someone being there. He noticed the time and he was surprised. George should have been here for him a half hour ago. Harry knew before he even tried to moving that something had happened. He could barely stand without grimacing. He looked at himself in the mirror and he saw that there was no sperm or blood but he had a sickening feeling he had been cleaned up. He did not know what had happened and what to do, He was shaking. He dressed and headed into the hall. He saw George coming his way.
George bent down and kissed him tenderly. "You were still in there. I thought that you had headed back to the dorms."
Harry was confused. "Why? I promised you that I was going to wait for you to come back for me from the library."
Concern passed over both of their faces. George had thought that it sounded odd. Harry was good about keeping his word. But he had come back for his boyfriend. He was about to go in when one of the Creevey brothers had told him that Harry had gone past him on the way to Gryffindor. Dennis and Collin both idolized Harry and he could not have seen any reason to doubt what they had said to him. He had thought it was odd but he had been a bit late from coming to get him and he wondered if his boyfriend had been worried about something and had headed thinking he might run into George along the way.
George pulled him in. "I saw both of them in the tower. I think we need to have a word with them. I'd like to know why thy told me you were gone."
Harry had flashes of what he remembered but he did not want to worry his boyfriend for he did not know what was going on. "I have no idea. It isn't like them."
He knew that George would freak if h knew what Harry expected. Harry had of course one person on his brain. But would Albus have been crazy enough to rape him? He needed to talk to someone. But it could not be George. Not just yet. He needed to talk to someone else who could help him make sense of it. He wasn't sure who. He knew his dad would flip. And would try to send him away right away. But he needed to talk to someone. Right now he wanted to find out what was going on. He knew both of the Creevey brothers well enough to know that they would not have knowingly done something to cause problems. There had to be something going on.
As he walked in he had a feeling that it would not be so simple. If his attacker had been the headmaster he would not have dirtied his hands. He would not have told the boys himself. He would have found something else. He could see that the boys looked absolutely nervous and pale when they came into the room. George saw too.
George looked at Collin. "Why the hell did you tell me my boyfriend passed you on the way to Gryffindor? He was still in that bathroom?"
When Collin was not answering harry spoke up. "We will get my dad or my Uncle and you will end up in detention for a month. What is going on here?"
Both of them looked ready to bolt but Fred and Angelina had com in from the stairs and they cut off a retreat for the brothers. Harry was starting to panic even more. His mind kept flooding with memories of what had happened to him. And he was scared of what had happened to him. They needed to sort out some of this. And at least the key to what was going on definitely laid with the Creevey brothers and what was going on.
Collin paled. "Your brother and some of his goons. They had Dennis and threatened to hex him if I did not tell you Harry was gone. I swear I thought it was a joke."
George shared a look with Fred. "Ron? What the hell is that little snake up to? I always knew that he definitely belonged in that house and not ours."
Draco had come down the stairs and had over heard some of it. He sent a worried look at Harry. Harry sent him a look that told him he would tell him later. Draco though accompanied him and the twins when they went to see his dad. His dad was not only that as well as a teacher but he was also head of Slytherin. He could definitely get to the bottom of it quicker then any of the other members of staff. And since it was his son of course he had a bested interest in it.
Severus was worried about his son when he found out. Harry shook his head. He assured his dad nothing had happened. He could see his dad ad Draco did not believe him. But for now they let the subject drop. The main concern was to find out why Ron and his little goons had run off George. They found him in the Slytherin common room and they could see that Ron, Crabbe and Goyle were all pale from seeing their head of house come in.
Severus looked at them. "You will explain why you were threatening younger students and what you were up to or you will have detention for the next month."
Ron sneered at Harry. "We knew he was having little bodyguards all of the time. We just wanted to scar him a bit. Thought that it would be a good laugh."
Though Severus like his son had a feeling that they were not alone behind this. But even when they were given a chance to save their skin they insisted that they were the ones who had come up with it. Since Harry had not actually been hurt they only got two weeks worth of detentions for what they had threatened Dennis with. But it was every night and with Filch so that they would be cleaning bathrooms and such.
Severus looked at his son worried when they got back to his rooms. "Are you sure nothing else happened Harry? You know you can tell me anything."
Harry looked at his boyfriend, Fred and Draco ad then back at his dad. "Nothing happened Dad. I was just a bit shocked when he was gone and worried."
Severus definitely did not believe his son. He had a feeling Harry did not want to tell him in front of his boyfriend and friends. He definitely understood that. He let his son go with the others but he stopped him right before he left. He pulled Harry into his arms and quietly reminded his son that he could tell him anything and that he was to come back here if there was something he had not told him. Harry nodded and slipped off with his friends. Severus was pale. He knew something was definitely wrong with his son and he wished that Harry would speak to him. George gave Harry basically the same questioning when they got back to the tower but Harry just did not want to scare his boyfriend until he knew what was going on.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Harry could not sleep that night. He could not close his eyes without remembering what had happened. He knew he needed to talk to someone. He felt bad waking his dad and Dora but he couldn't sleep. He thought about his Uncle Moony but with baby Max, his godfathers' sleep was precious. Knowing he was not going to get any sleep he slipped into his invisibility cloak and headed for the dungeons. He got into his dad's apartments but almost turned to leave. He didn't want to wake them up. He was not sure if this was just another dream of some kind. But his stomach was churning and he could not close his eyes. He needed to tell someone. He needed to talk. But he had no idea how to tell his dad. He was trying to get up the nerve to go and tell his dad when a voice came to him.
His dad was standing in the doorway. "I had a feeling you were going to come. Now Harry you be honest with me. What happened Prince?"
Harry sunk down with his dad on the couch. "I think I was, I think someone......."
Catching his son up into his arms Severus was in panic mode. Harry was just crying. He shared a look with Dora who had come in the door. He nodded towards the fireplace and she understood without being told. She headed through the floo and as he tried desperately to calm his son down and get him to talk, Dora returned with Remus. Sirius had remained behind with the kids. They knew if Harry would feel any more comfortable his Uncle would help him.
Remus sunk down on his other side. "I am here too cub. You know your Dad and I love you. You can tell us anything. We want to help you sweet heart."
Harry looked at them. "I think I was raped."
Shock rung through the three adults. Harry's absolute fear and shaking rung true to them. They had dealt with him being molested but this was different. Severus managed to convince his son to tell him what was going on. They knew what had to be don but they were worried.
Severus helped his son up. "Harry we are going to the infirmary. Madam Pomfrey will run a test to see if you have been raped."
Harry was pale and clung to his dad. "Please stay with me Dad. Please."
Leading his son into the floo he swore he was not going ay where. He knew that if Harry had been raped he had to do something. It was not fair to force his son to change schools. But Harry was not safe here. He knew they needed to find out what was going on. Harry would not likely be the last one and this was not only Harry's school but his home as well. He had lived here since he was five. He deserved to stay put.
Poppy was surprised when she came in. "What are you guys doing her in the middle of the night?"
Severus helped transform his son's clothes into a hospital gown. "Poppy we need you to be discreet about this."
She swore she would not tell anyone. She had of course been helping watch over Harry since he was little. She had hid the fact Harry had been smuggled off to the Malfoys all those Halloweens ago. She cared about Harry more then usual. When she heard they needed her to do a rape test on him she was absolutely pale but she nodded and once again Harry found himself explaining what had been done to him.
Poppy looked up. "There were no traces of semen left but there is a lot of bruising, he has been raped. I'm sorry Harry."
Severus collected his sobbing son into his arms. "I swear Harry we will get who ever did this to you. I swear they will pay for ever laying a hand on you. I swear."
They took him home to the apartments and fed him a sleeping potion. In the morning they spoke to Myrtle but she had left the bathroom before anyone had come in and there was no one who had witnessed. The on painting in the room had a charm used on her to put her to sleep. But thy found evidence of an air born sedative added to the bubble bath he had used which had caused Harry to pass out.
Severus watched his son who was still asleep. "We need to find out what is going on. I will tear him apart if this is Albus"
