Chapter 21

2 weeks later:

The number of bruises on just about every part of Harry's body were unnerving Severus. He knew he'd have to schedule an appointment with a Healer soon. Poor Harry was not going to be pleased with that prospect. He thought of a couple of Healers, and finally he settled on Madam Pomfrey. She'd be gentle, that much he knew.

"But why do I have to see a Healer?" Harry asked for what seemed to Severus to be the umpteenth time.

"Because," he replied patiently, "The amount of damage your aunt and uncle inflicted upon you is astounding. I just want to make sure everything's alright with you. Don't worry, Harry, Madam Pomfrey is kind."

Harry sighed, "If you say so, Sev,"

Madam Pomfrey sighed. "He's going to need vaccinations, Severus."

"I thought as much," Severus replied.

"You mean like a shot?" Harry asked, his face paling, "I thought wizards didn't get shots!"

"Whoever told you that had no clue what they were talking about," Madam Pomfrey said, shaking her head sympathetically at Harry.

"Will it hurt much?" Harry asked. He'd never liked needles.

"It'll hurt, but it'll hurt even more if you tense up." She replied.

"How many does he need?" Severus asked.

"At least six different one; three today, three in another week," Madam Pomfrey said.

"Oh, get it over with then," Harry sighed, trying to think of something else.

"Ow," Harry groaned, rubbing his sore arm. "Did she have to stick it in so hard?" he asked.

Severus just smiled and ruffled his hair. He really was getting to fond of the kid.

A/N: yeah my mind is stuck on shots considering I had to get one yesterday…ow.
