Amor Vincit Omnia
Chapter 2
Albus watched Severus and Harry apparate back to Hogwarts. He stayed by the shed door for a few moments composing himself after what he had just seen. Never in all his years had he seen a child so badly beaten, Albus knew the Dursleys would never love Harry like he was their own child but never did he think that they would abuse the boy to this extreme.
One Albus had composed himself he made his way back inside. He looked at the two older Dursleys in disgust, Petunia looked back at Albus with fear in her eyes and rightly so. Vernon on the other hand looked back at Albus with a smug smile on his face. Albus drew out his wand and placed a silencing ward around the house.
" four years ago I left your orphaned nephew in your care, instead of caring for him like a family should. You abused that little boy"
Vernon interrupted Albus " the pathetic freak deserved everything he got"
"silence" Albus whispered anger clearly in his voice
"you have both disgusted me, you are nothing but disgusting human beings, you shall both feel the pain that you inflicted on Harry. For the next four years, every pain you inflicted on this child you shall feel the same pain he felt. Once the four years are up you shall spend the rest of your lives in Azkaban. You shall never see your son again, I will take him with me tonight and find a new family for him"
At this point Petunia started to cry " please not my son, not my son" Petunia begged over and over again.
" Silence Petunia it is too late for you two, you are nothing but disgusting monsters"
Vernon stood up at this point "you have not right to talk to me and my wife this way, get out of my you freak"
The next minute Vernons legs snapped together and his feet were stuck to the floor.
"What have you done to me freak, I demand you undo this at once"
" Langlock" Albus muttered underneath his breath.
Vernon tried to talk again but noticed that he couldn't, his face going to a disgusting shade of purple. That really made him look even uglier that he already did
"now as I was saying before you rudely interrupted me Dursley, it will not just be me who punishes you. I will not give you the safety you need. I shall not allow anyone to kill you. But I shall not stop anyone who wishes to cause you harm. Now for the first bit of your punishment whatever you did Harry you shall feel, every cut, bruise, brake you will feel it. But as it will show no physical sign you won't be able to get it treated and the pain will never get any better."
Albus started to wave his wand around setting in the wards for his punishment to work. "this here will stop you from trying to escape. You shall spend the next four years in this house. Once your four years are over, you shall be taken to the ministry where you will be sentenced to the rest of your life in Azkaban"
Once the wards were set in place Albus started the next part of the punishment putting the complex spell in place. This was much more difficult that putting the wards in place, the spell was difficult and was rarely used as it was uncommon for wizard families to abuse their own children. Even death eaters never treated their children to this extreme. After a few minutes the spell was set in place, Albus could already see that his spell was starting to work as the pain was clearly written on both Petunia and Vernon faces.
Albus smiled at the both and clapped his hands together "well everything is in working order, I shall just go, and grab Dudley and we will both be on our way.
Albus left Vernon whose tongue was still stuck to the roof of his mouth and his feet still stuck to the ground, the spell was likely to wear off in a few hours, Albus didn't fancy placing the counter curse on him, the man was a disgusting pig and deserved everything he got. Albus hadn't placed any curses on Petunia as there was no need to she was lying on the floor sobbing about her son.
Walking up the stairs to Dudley's bedroom Albus placed his wand away, the boy may have also harmed Harry, but he was a young child, who hand been brainwashed by his parents. Albus also wasn't going to punish a five-year-old child, he may be angry at the boy's parents, but he would never harm a child.
"Hello Dudley, my name his Albus can I come"
The overweight five year old nodded his head "why are you here" Dudley asked
"well Dudley I'm here to take you away to another family"
Dudley's eyes started to water with tears "w-w-w-why"
"I'm sorry Dudley but the way they treated your cousin Harry was wrong and is against the law, they have to be punished and go to prison"
"will I go to prison as well?" Dudley asked his voice shaking
"why would you go to prison dear boy"
"because I was mean to Harry, I beat him up. Daddy said it was okay to do it and told me too"
"it was mean to hurt Harry Dudley, you should never hurt anyone. But you shall not be punished like your parents are getting punished. Now child if you could help me pack your things, I shall take you back to my office and I shall find a new family for you"
Half an hour later Dudley was all packed up and ready to go, Dudley looked up at Albus "how are we going to get to your office Albus"
Albus bent down on one knee "want to know a secret Dudley"
Dudley nodded his head "I'm a wizard, so I have magic"
Dudley frowned "daddy said magic doesn't exist, was he lying"
"he was dear boy, let me show you"
Albus removed his wand and tapped on all of Dudley's belongings and they shrunk "I shall unshrink them for you later"
"wicked" Dudley smiled
Albus grabbed on to Dudley's apparating them away from privet drive and in to his office at Hogwarts.
Severus walked in to the infirmary with Harry still unconscious in his arms "Poppy are you there? I need your help"
"what's the matter Severus?" as soon as Poppy saw Harry in Severus arm she knew what the problem was. "place him here Severus" Poppy said pointing at an empty bed.
Severus carefully laid Harry down on to the bed, looking at the beaten child on the bed Severus would say he looked no older that 3. "Poppy we need to do a diagnoses charm on him, some of his injuries are obvious, but I can't tell all of them and can here that he has some problems with his breathing"
"of course, Severus, but if you don't mind me asking who is this poor child?"
"its Harry Potter Poppy, as you can see his relatives have abused him"
Poppy's hand went straight to her mouth, she remembered holding Harry when he was a few days old she never thought she would see Harry in such a state. Taking out her wand Poppy moved her wand up and down chanting a spell, so she could get a list of Harrys injuries. It took five minutes for Poppy to get a list of all his injuries and what she saw shocked her. She had never seen someone with so many injuries, especially not someone as young as Harry.
"what are his injuries Poppy?" Severus asked
"it's a long list Severus, Harry has the early stages of pneumonia, his body has started to go in to a hypothermia shock, all of his ribs are broken and one his dangerously close to puncturing his lung, his feet have severe bruising, he has a shattered ankle, his right hand his broken, his right hand also has infection from where it has been held against hot oil, his cheekbones are broken. All of fingers have been broken, his kidneys are bruised. His body is covered in scars from where he has been hit with the belt. He also has old injuries. His left arm has been broken 3 times and they've healed in the wrong angle. There's a hairline fracture on his skull. His jaw has dislocated twice. He is seriously underweight, with both iron and vitamin D deficiency"
Severus stood there in shock as Poppy read all of Harrys injuries to him, his hatred for the Dursleys increasing every second. "we must get to work Poppy, I don't want him to wake whiles were doing this, so I shall put him to sleep"
Poppy nodded her head "that's a good idea Severus, I'm worried about the early stages of pneumonia, so we'll work on that first. Please go grab all the potions we need"
Severus made his way to Poppys cupboard and took out all the potions they needed, placing a light warming charm on Harry so his body doesn't go in to shock both Severus and Poppy started to work on the child. As Harry was unconscious they had to spell in all of the potions Harry needed to take. There was a number of potions Harry had to take, this worried Severus, so he made sure he had a stomach soother as it would prevent Harry from throwing up and choking on his own vomit. The healing of Harrys bones was a difficult one as Severus and Poppy had to break some of his bones just to heal them. Thankfully Harry wouldn't have to feel any of this. Although he would be sore once he had awoken, Severus would make sure the child had enough pain potions to help with it. After a long 3 hours of working on the Child Poppy and Severus had nearly finished, all that was left was the cream for the infection for Harrys burnt hand. Severus would add a potion to Harrys baths to help with the scars on his back. Due to the fact Harry was so underweight Harry would have to go a strict diet, taking a nutrient potion with every meal. Once the duo had finally finished Severus removed the spell on Harry keeping asleep, and sat by his bed so he would be there when the child woke up. Looking at the small child with concern written all over his face, Severus gently stroked Harrys forehead.
Back in his office Albus sat with the youngest Dursley "I know of a lovely family that would take you in, I shall write them a letter now and see if tonight we be possible for them"
Dudley just nodded his head, he was still shocked about everything that had happened today, he was terrified at the thought of having a new family. What if they hated him? What if they treated him the same way his parents treated Harry"
"how about some nice calming tea Dudley, does that sound good"
"that would be nice Albus"
"Mipsy" Albus called out to his house elf
"what can Mipsy be doing for Master?"
"hello Mipsy, could you please bring me and Dudley here a nice pot of tea and a plate of chocolate chip cookies"
"Mipsy be doing that now master"
Dudley mouth dropped open, in all his life he had never seen anything like that. "that was my house elf Mipsy Dudley. Here in the wizarding we have house elf's"
A few moments later Mipsy returned bring a pot of tea and a plate of cookies. "thank you Mipsy, that will be all for now thank you"
Noticing how nervous Dudley was Albus laced his team with a light calming draught, and past the tea over to Dudley and put the plate of cookies in the middle of the two. After taking a sip of his tea Dudley instantly calmed down, and took one od the cookies from the plate and started to eat it.
Albus removed a piece of parchment from his draw and started to write a letter explain the situation of Dudley and if it was possible for them to take the young child. Once finished Albus gave the letter to Fawkes "please wait until they give you their reply Fawkes and the bring the letter back to me" the smart bird nodded his head and in a flash disappeared. It was only 15 minutes later when Fawkes returned bring back the reply.
"ah Dudley child those friends of mine are happy to take you, if you're ready now we shall leave"
"yes Albus, do they have magic like you"
"yes, they do Dudley, they both have magic like me and they have an older daughter who also has magic who will be your new sister"
Making sure Dudley had everything, Albus apparated himself and Dudley to his new home.
"hello Dudley, dear how about you can come in and we can get you all settled in to your room. Its rather late now so we'll get you all ready for bed and we can have a nice long chat tomorrow"
Dudley nodded his head and walked in to his new home holding on to Albus's hand.
Back at Hogwarts Harry Potter and finally woke up, his bright green eyes full of fear.
