Harry Potter sat in his cousin's second bedroom as he tended to his wounds from his uncle's "birthday present". With a belt clenched between his teeth, Harry stitched up a particularly deep knife wound. Grunting occasionally at the strange, yet familiar pulling sensation, he allowed his thoughts to wander to the predicament he was in.
Ever since he was left at the doorstep of his maternal aunt's house as a baby, Harry has been treated worse than a house elf by his relatives. By his eighth birthday, Harry became indifferent to the pain and abuse that came with living at the Dursleys'. And by the time he received his Hogwarts letter, he was mending his wounds with conjured medical supplies. Now, he can treat and stich his wounds with the accuracy and steadiness of a fully trained doctor's. No one knows the extent to which the Dursleys abuse him, except maybe Luna Lovegood. Harry knew she had seer blood in her family, and not just distantly, but as close as her mother. Harry would trust Luna with his life and all of its secrets; something he can't say about many people, not even Ron or Hermione. They only know that the Dursleys withhold food and isolate him in the house.
A good thing too, considering what he found out about some of his close "friends".

Harry was sitting on his bed in the Gryffindor boys' dorm drying his hair after having a shower when Ron suddenly barreled into the dorm room. "Ron, what's wrong? You look like you ran into Aragog again." Harry said laughingly. At the mention of what would forever be considered the worst day of his life, Ron paled, flinched, and glared half-heartedly at Harry "One, don't ever mention The Incident again and two," At this, Ron straightened his stance and adopted a serious (A/N: I almost typed in Sirius here. Ha) look "I have news you definitely want to know." Realizing that his best friend was no joking around, Harry frowned "Alright I'll bite, what is it Ron?" "I think it would be best if we talked in the Room. Come on."

"Alright what's so important that we couldn't talk in the dorm, Ron?" Ron cleared his throat and it looked like he was trying to quell his anger. At what, Harry didn't know, but he had a feeling that he was about to find out.
"So, I had been told that the Headmaster wanted to see Hermione and me. But on the way to his office, I had a bad feeling and something told me to get you and I should have listened to that something because it was terrible what they said and-"
"RON! You're rambling." Harry was getting worried. Ron only rambled when he was nervous or scared and other than spiders, Hermione, and McGonagall, not a great many things scared Ron.
"Oh! Sorry. But as I was saying, I had a bad feeling about this meeting but I just passed it off as me being hungry. Actually, I am feeling hungry now. Maybe I could drop by the kitchens, get some shepherd's pie."
If they were in an anime, Harry would have sweat dropped. Ron and his stomach. His best friend would marry food if he could. "Ron, just get on with it." "Oh! Yeah. So when I got to the gargoyle statue, Hermione was already there, talking to the Headmaster. I didn't think anything of it because when Hermione isn't with the two of us she's usually there before me. But then I heard what they were talking about."
"What were they talking about Ron?"
"I didn't hear everything they said but I got the gist of it. Mate, Dumbledore's paying Hermione to be our friend."

So! Here's chapter one. Sorry for making you wait all this time for this super short chapter. But I promise they will get longer.
I have a question for you guys. Do you want me to update more often but with shorter chapters, or have a longer wait for a longer chapter? I'll start a poll soon so you can vote there.
Okay, last chapter, the name of the author whose story this was inspired by was cut off so I'll just say it here. This story was based off of .Xanda's Bound in Servitude.
And this was cut off last chapter too, so can someone tell me how to find a beta?
That is all. So thank you for reading and if you could review and tell me what you thought or maybe give me some advice for my writing that'd be great
