Four days later Harry was getting pissed with being in the damn bed in the Hospital Wing. Draco was sitting next to him with the Slytherin study group Snape had assigned him to . Theo, Blaise and Pansy. Harry snapped at them more than helped them at this point.

"Enough of that, Harry." Leland chuckled, coming in, "I'm done with your leg." Harry's eyes narrowed, The 'Group' was back to watch . " Yes, yes I know you hate this , Harry , but it's time to put your leg back on."

Harry sighed rolling his eyes then braced himself.

"One..." Harry closed his eyes, "Two..." Harry clutched the sheets. "Three!"

Harry clenched his jaw and tensed as his leg was reattached. Sweat poured off his body and his body shook. His breathing was harsh. After a few more minuets of tinkering with the leg Leland stood back.

"Okay, Harry you know the drill." Harry growled but swung his legs over the side of the bed sitting all the way up on the side of the bed he went through his leg exercises . Leland nodded approvingly as he helped but Harry did it on his own. Two laps around the room he was sitting again. "Very well, you may return to classes while I work on your arm. "

"Good." Harry hissed, " out of this damn place. "

Leland chuckled

"Would you like a pain potion?"

Harry scoffed rolling his eyes. He never took pain potions or anything else. He always just suffered. Severus frowned, at him and gave him a vial.

"I don't need it , sir." Harry replied, in a small voice. "I swear i'm fine i'm used to it."

Harry tried to ignore all the stares as he walked around the school that monday. It was clear that Harry didn't have his left arm but no one was saying anything about it. No one except one red headed Gryffindor. He was loud in his insults. On the way to Potions the damn red head , Ron Weasley, pushed him down the main stair case. Harry moaned as he was rolled over and looked into black eyes.

"Professor?" Harry asked weakly. " I ... think... i ...fell..."

"Shhh..." Severus pulled the small boy in to his arms. He glared at Ron Weasley. " You'll be suspended as soon as I report this Mr. Weasley. Malfoy!"

"He went to get Healer Leland." Pansy cried, "What can we do?"

"You get the Headmaster!" She ran off. "Nott, Get McGonagall! Crabbe, Goyal , Zabini, restrain Mr. Weasley and follow me."

They did.

Severus lay Harry on his couch in his private quarters and began healing the child. The people he wanted soon arrived. Leland took over the healing while Severus went on to rant at the two teachers. Draco stood close to Harry watching. He was holding Leland's bag in his arms one of them anyway. He'd been so worried about his friend when he'd saw the blood he'd went to find the Healer as fast as he could.

Harry moaned as he woke. He opened his eyes to see himself staring into black eyes.

"Professor?"

"Shhh..." Harry felt the man's fingers run through his hair. " It's okay, child. I'm here. I wont let anyone hurt you."

Harry blinked and leaned into the man's touch. That was odd given that he normally shied away from touch.

"You're okay, Harry." He helped Harry sit up and Harry noticed they weren't alone. "Can you tell us what happened?"

"Well, " Harry frowned, "Everyone was staring and whispering but I expected that because I wasn't wearing my arm." He waved that off. " The red haired Gryffindor... uh... Weasel was it? Yeah, that sounds right anyway the youngest Weasel boy was being really loud about how weird I looked and how weak I must be to allow Muggles to do this to me... I remember grabbing Draco by the arm on the way down to Potion's cuze I got a bit dizzy and was un steady you know with out my arm..." Every one nodded, " I was really looking forward to your class... then I felt someone touch me... I don't like people touching me..."

"I remember you telling us that." Draco pipped up, " Harry hates being touched unless he's allowing it, Father."

"Right, then next thing I know I'm falling... I heard my wrist pop and my arm hurt alot... And I ... you... I saw you... and you were yelling at my friends then ...I can't remember you should ask Know-It-All..."

"Know-It-All?" Mrs. Weasley asked, "Who is that?"

"Granger." The students and teachers replied as one.

"I'll call her." McGonagall sighed, rolling her eyes. "Next time get all the witnesses, Severus."

"I was more worried about my snake!" Severus snapped, "Here, Harry , drink this it'll clear your head." Harry happily drank it down. He nodded when it kicked in. "Better?"

"Lots..." he bit his lip "May I have a Potions Book?"

Severus smirked and summoned one for him.

Draco and the other Slytherin's quickly gathered 'round him.

"Oh, POTTER!" Harry jumped as Know-It-All came busting in. "Are you okay? I've been oh, so worried, ..." She spun on Weasel. "HOW DARE YOU! RONALD WEASLEY I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU WOULD LET YOUR HATRED FOR THE SNAKES MAKE YOU ALMOST KILL ANOTHER STUDENT...!"

She kept ranting and raving.

"I think I'm in love." Theo said in shock. Draco hit Theo upside the head gently with his knuckles. " She's brilliant and protective."

The other Snakes nodded at that assessment.

"How do we stop her?" Pansy hissed, after ten minutes "I'm getting a headache."

"You're a girl." Blaise replied, "You do something."

Harry rolled his eyes and flicked is wand. Hermione Granger yelped as she was covered in ice water.

"I'm...d-done..."

McGonagall cast drying and warming charms on the girl.

" I think, Miss. Granger has yelled more than enough for all of us." Molly Weasley said, beaming at the blushing girl. " I am in agreement that he be taken to St. Mungos for therapy and at least be suspended though I will accept if he is expelled, almost killing another student! I would never raise my children like this whatever happened to you Ronald?"

Ron huffed.

"YOU"RE ALL DOING THIS BECAUSE HE IS HARRY BLOODY POTTER!"

Harry flicked his wand absently and bubbles filled Ron's mouth. Draco turned the page of the Potions book for him.

"Thank you, Mr Potter." Molly smirked he wand having been about to cast the same spell." Ronald you should know better than to speak like that!"
