A/N: thank you very much to those who reviewed (you know who you are!) I promised a fast update and so here is an update (not very fast but never mind) so here you go enjoy and review!!!!

Harry still lay on the bed that he had been placed in, and somewhere within the black of his mind he realised he was safe but he was too far gone to realise that he could come back. His rescuer regularly fed him, washed him and changed his clothes. He cared for Harry very gently but firmly. It wasn't until a month of this caring that he was rewarded for his troubles. Whilst he was changing Harry's clothes, Harry whispered his first word in years.

"Kill…"

"What did they do to you Harry? What did they do?" The tall man said to the small man in his arms as a small tear ran down his cheek.

Chapter four: Arrivals

"Members of the order, I would like to welcome both Miss Granger and Mr Weasley back with us today." the group applauded politely but Ron and Hermione heard none of it they were too focussed on what Dumbledore was saying. "Now we have recently heard news from a reliable source that young Mr Potter is alive." the group began to whisper amongst themselves. Seeing this Dumbledore held up his hands to silence them. "and he has also been rescued from Voldemorts clutches. Now due to the severity of the situation Harry will remain with them until a time where it will become necessary for him to join us in the war effort." the whisperings started up again although they were slightly louder and more cheerful. "Now moving along. Alastor what can you tell us about the death eaters."

Mad-eye moody stood up to address the group. "since Grangers and Weasley's escape Voldemort has put all of his Death Eaters on red alert. They now patrol more thoroughly and in larger numbers. It is now more difficult to get into his complex and virtually impossible to get anywhere near it without being spotted. Attacks on muggles have also been on the increase. It appears that Voldemort is trying to vent out his frustrations. Several wizarding families have also been murdered. The Smithe's, Walcott's and Tracy's were all found dead in their respective homes between the 13th and 17th with the dark mark hovering above them."

"thank you. Remus could you give us an update on the Were pack."

"Yes sir. It appears that the Werewolves have officially decided to side with Voldemort and there has been an increase in Werewolf related deaths. We estimate that approximately 35 more Werewolves have been made, alongside with 109 deaths. One Werewolf has been captured and subsequently shot with a silver bullet. There is nothing else to report."

"Thank you Remus and Alastor. It seems like we will all have to be on higher guard, all of your homes have been placed under the fiddilus charm but I recommend that you stay with another order member if you live alone. Try to avoid known Death Eater areas and remain on your guard at all times. If you see something suspicious report it immediately and then wait for further instructions or back-up. Meeting adjourned." and Dumbledore stood up and made his way upstairs with Hermione, Ron, Madame Pomfrey and Professor Mcgonnagal following behind him. They arrived at the top of the house and silently Dumbledore placed a silence charm around the room.

"Right now Harry will be arriving in a couple of minutes Via portkey that is set for this room. You two will be in charge of looking after him. His arrival has to be kept a secret at all times, is that understood?"

"yes sir." Ron and Hermione chorused.

"Minerva you are to ensure that no one knows of his whereabouts and you are also to ensure that he is protected 110. Poppy please ensure that he receives your usual excellent medical care and that any potions that he is required to take are taken. Now they should be arriving in 5...4...3...2...1..." They turned around in time to see a large bulky man land in the centre of the room carrying a small and thin man and lay him down on the bed. Almost immediately Madame Pomfrey ran over to him and began running diagnostic checks with her wand, and tutting frequently under her breath.

"Your verdict Poppy?"

"He is suffering from severe malnutrition and dehydration. He has several broken bones and most if not all of his bones in his right foot have been crushed. He is Deaf, blind and there is the possibility of mental illness though I cannot determine that fully until I have run some more extensive checks. There is severe bruising in the abdominal area and all of his nails have been pulled out and are showing signs of severe infection. There are scars on his left arm but they are very week and show possible signs of self harm. There is also evidence of internal bleeding and possible bruising." Madame Pomfrey finished standing up straight and looking at Harry with tears in his eyes.

"How long has he been like this?" Dumbledore asked swiftly."

"it's impossible to say but judging by the bruising I would say approximately 5-6 months if not longer."

"Can he hear us?" Ron asked fearfully.

"No. He is in a coma and he is deaf. He might know that we're here but as I said before I do not know his mental state as this moment in time. Hagrid what did you do with him when you got him safely out."

"I put him to bed and fed him what I could liquid foods, I washed him and I changed his clothes."

"What did you do with the clothes that he was originally wearing?"

"I kept them, there in this bag."

"Right I see. Thank you Hagrid for getting him out."

"it wasn't me that saved him, it was Snape. I just took him off Snapes hands and looked after him."

"but Snapes dead!"

"no he isn't he went into hiding so no one could find him."

"Albus!" Madame Pomfrey said urgently.

"Yes?!"

"He's gone into heart failure!"

A/N: and that is where I shall leave it, aren't I cruel…he he. Well I bet you didn't realise that it was Hagrid now did you? The clue was 'The tall man said to the small man' Snape and Sirius aren't that tall and Remus is only just taller than Harry so they couldn't have been the tall man. Well I hope you enjoyed this little chapter there will be more soon but please be aware that I am doing my A levels right now and so will need to put more effort into work than this. Anyways Review and tell me what you think!
