Twisted
Chapter Three
"Now, can you all remain quiet or should I silence you?" Severus glared around at everyone sitting around him.
When everyone agreed to keep quiet, Severus turned towards Poppy and motioned for her to explain. She glared at the man, but started speaking anyway.
"The easiest way for me to tell you what is wrong is to work my way down his body starting with his head. He has a minor fracture at the back of his head. I believe that it occurred when they first caught him and he fought back. He also has various cuts and bruises on his face, none of them are life threatening. He has knife marks, whip marks, and what appears to be burns on his chest, back, legs, arms, and thighs. He also has some minor internal damage. There was some bruising to some of his organs and he cracked three ribs. He also broke his left leg and right wrist."
Lily started crying and James wrapped his arms around her.
"Will Harry be okay?"
Poppy looked over at the Malfoy heir. "Harry will be just fine, Draco. In fact, if you can be quiet, you may go sit with him. Be sure to get either Severus or myself if he wakes up."
"Yes, Madam Pomfrey."
Draco glanced back at Lily but didn't say anything as he left the room. Once Draco was gone, James spoke up.
"Now that he is gone, can you tell us if you were being truthful? Will Harry be okay?"
Poppy sat in the nearest chair, completely drained. "I did not lie to Draco. Harry will be fine. But it will take several weeks, even with magic, for him to be completely recovered."
Poppy handed Sirius a file. "I am sure you can make sure that this gets into the proper hands. It is a copy of Severus and my findings on Harry's condition. This will be needed when Dumbledore and Pettigrew go to court."
Sirius nodded and stood up. He gave Remus a quick kiss and headed out of the room. He also wanted to find out when the court date would be.

The first thing Harry noticed when he woke up was pain. It was everywhere. Every part of him hurt.
He must have made a sound because he felt someone sit next to him and pick up his hand.
"Harry? Can you hear me?"
Draco. Draco was here. That must mean that he was safe.
"D…dra…co. Whe…re?"
"Don't talk yet, Harry. You are home. This is your bedroom. Wait just a second and I will get Dad to come and take a look at you. Maybe he can give you a pain reliever. Okay?"
Harry squeezed Draco's hand and felt his boyfriend get up to go get the potions master. He kept his eyes closed until he heard the potions master come in and dim the lights.
He squinted up at his boyfriend's father. Severus handed Harry his glasses and helped him lean against the headboard. Once was the young man was as comfortable as possible, Severus pulled out his wand and ran it over Harry.
"You are healing well, Harry. But you will need to remain in bed for at least the rest of the week."
Severus stepped back and let Draco sit next to Harry. He quietly handed Draco a pain reliever for Harry and waited until he had helped Harry drink it before speaking.
"I don't believe you should have too many difficulties with your healing, but you will not be able to return to work for several weeks."
Harry quickly agreed, just happy to be alive and with Draco again.
A/N: It's been a while since I updated so I thought I would give you a little something to hold you over while I work out the next chapter.
