A/N: Harry Potter is not mine this is a story from a fan.
Thank you all for the reviews. They help me a lot to push myself to do better. I also hope that you can see it in the story.
Enjoy.

(BSC 2 C18) C48 Christmas in Potter castle 3.

Arabella and the others appeared in front of the front desk in St Mungo. Arabella immediately walked up to the front desk and ask where Minerva McGonagall was being held and if Poppy Pomfrey was already whit her.

The receptionist behind the desk pointed her finger in the distance and told them to go through the doors then go to the end of the corridor. At the end of that corridor they have to take a left then a right and they would find Miss. McGonagall in the last room on the left side of that corridor.

Whit out another word Arabella started to walk and was closely followed by the others.

When they came at the end of the last corridor just before they had to take a right Isabella almost screamed. "I found Bella and Daphne, they are right over there by that window there".

What happened just a little bit before this chapter with Bella and Daphne?

Dobby appeared next to her. "Mistress Bella Master Harry needs you and he needs you now" sounded the little voice of Dobby.

Bella was a little startled because she had not seen Dobby appear next to her. "What, Where, Wait I don't care take me and Daphne to him right now".

Dobby grabbed both their hands and disappeared out of Potter castle.

After only a second both Bella and Daphne appeared in a long white hallway. Right in front of their feet was a big puddle of blood and they looked at Dobby.

"I´m sorry mistress but Dobby left Master Dobby here on the floor".

Daphne again looked at the puddle of blood that lie in front of them and put her hand to her mouth.

While both of the girls were looking in discussed at the puddle of blood in front of them, they hadn't seen that they had arrived at St. Mungo and that a nurse was approaching them.

With a look of interest the nurse looked at them while she vanished the puddle of blood. "Are you to young lady's here for the boy who has just arrived and can you tell me why he's in the condition he was when he came in here" she asked friendly but still with a little venom in her voice.

Bella didn't hear the venom but responded right away. "Yes we are here for Harry potter, where is he?"

The nurse looked at Bella with big eyes. "Th.. That w.. was Harry Po.. Potter?" She asked while she took them both by the hand and pulled them along towards a window in one of the corridors of the hospital.

On the other side of the window they could see Harry lying on a bad covered in blood whit his eyes closed. They could see that he was still breathing but they were small gasps like he was fighting for air.

His face was black and blue, his nose was crooked and there was a tear in his right ear. There were three healers walking around the bad but none of them was doing something with or about Harry.

Behind them they heard the voice of Isabella, Daphne immediately ran to her mother and pulled them to where Harry was being held. The rest of the adults followed them and became very quiet when they saw harry lying on the bed.

(A/N: There is one point of view I have not addressed jet.)

Poppy was sitting behind her desk at Hogwarts. In her hand she had a necklace and a little note from Harry and Bella.

To our dearest healer,
without your help we wouldn't have been where we are now.
We have so much to thank you for, that we wouldn't know where to start.

As you know Bella and I do not have much family.
That is also why we stick together so much.
Now in the last year our Family has grown into a big one.
However there is still one member missing from it all.
That one member is you.

It would be an honor for us if you would accept this necklace,
and the title of favourite Aunt and anything that goes whit it.

Bella and Harry.

Ps: The necklace is a Portkey that will take you to Potter castle encase of an emergency.
We will tell you the phrase when we see you after the holidays.

Poppy never heard the door to the infirmary open. When she heard it shut she looked up and around but saw nobody. Then there was a pop in front of her. She looked over and behind her desk to see the Potter house elf standing there.

"I is come here to take you to St. Mungo. Miss Arabella is saying Mistress McGonagall is needing you".

Poppy nodded and grabbed her bag from the floor. She stood and walked over to the house elf, She took his hand and together the disapparated away.

Poppy was left in front of a room. She looked around and walked to the door. As she pushed the door open she could hear Minerva saying something.

"I need to get back home, something is happening with my grandson and I need to be there".

"Minerva pleas sit down" Poppy said from the doorway. "Arabella is handling things. I'm here to check you over and if everything is okay then you can go home".

Minerva looked at Poppy and nodded. She had been friends long enough to know that when you argue with Poppy it would only take longer and longer.

Thirty minutes later Poppy Pomfrey walked out of the room and down the corridor. Just before the corner she saw the family standing near a window. With a smile on her face she walked up to them.

"Minerva will be okay" she said. "There was nothing wrong with her, Have you heard from Harry yet, because Minerva was telling me the strangest story, something about that Harry been taking away and that he was being beaten up". But to her surprise there was no one who responded to her calling.

Poppy walked up to them and looked through the window to see where they were all looking at. Then she saw it.

Harry potter was lying on a bed covered in blood, three healers walking around him who were doing nothing at all. She cursed and walked straight into the room while she was waiving her wand at Harry.

The three healers all looked at her with big eyes, none of them remembered her but they all told her that there was nothing more they could do for the boy.

"This is Harry potter and I decide when there is nothing more we can do for this boy" she snapped at the healers, while she again waived a diagnostic spell over the body of Harry.

One of the healers took a breath to say something, but before he could utter a word he was looking at the tip of the wand from Poppy Pomfrey. "I would be very careful of what you were about to say. This is my nephew and as of now I'm his healer. So do something useful or get the hell out".

Poppy turned her back at the healers and went to work. A minute later she snapped. "Bella, Daphne get in here now, and help me".

And even though Poppy was snapping at them they knew why it was and ran into the room waiting for what it was they had to do".

"Bella just talk to him, I don't care what you say but just keep talking to him. Let him know that you are there. Daphne you take those blood replacing fluid's and keep on feeding him that. Only stop when I tell you to stop. I don't know how much it will take and how much he will need but he will need as much as we can get into his body".

What Poppy didn't know, was that both girls slash there hand palms and the palms of Harry, then they took them in their hands and said in a whisper.

"With our blood we feed you our love.
With our blood we heel you our love.
Let us be one, in love, let us be one in blood".

They whispered on the same time, making a blood bond that was almost as strong as the bond Lily made with her own blood.

What the adults didn't know was that Harry had already done it the day before. and that the ritual had to be finished today. It was a ritual that was described in the book, BLOOD FROM THE SOUL. One that would create a bond that could never be broken by any kind of love potion, or manipulation. It had been something they had talked about for hours. Just so that Dumbledore could do nothing that would tear them apart.

It was not long thereafter that the head of St. Mungo came running into the room with two Aurors right behind him. "What is the meaning of this? You lady, have no authority here and there for you have to be removed from this hospital" he screamed.

Poppy turned her head around with a snap. "Don't let me make it difficult on you. Get out and let me do my work" Poppy screamed back.

"Aurors get her out of here. She has no business in this hospital and take those two girls along with her. That boy is dying and she is making it terrible for him to pass on".

*#*

Okay one more point of view the last one from Amelia.

Amelia was just like the rest of them looking at how Harry was unwrapping his gifts. Then it happened, he just disappeared right in front of their eyes. After that she could see how Minerva grabbed all over her body at the places where Harry was being hit.

When everything was over and Arabella took the lead Amelia hung her head a little to warts David. "I'm going to go to the ministry to see if something is happening there. Maybe Harry will use his wand and we could get a fix on him, if you see him before me sand me a Patronus".

David nodded and Amelia disappeared.

It was have an hour later that David saw Harry through the window and he send a Patronus to Amelia.

"Aurors get her out of here. She has no business in this hospital and take those two girls along with her. That boy is dying and she is making it terrible for him to pass on".

This was the line Amelia heard when she came around the corner. The first thing she saw was the families standing by a window and she knew that something was very wrong. "Stand down aurors or you will be looking for a new job. And tell me what the hell is going on here".

The director of the hospital didn't wait for the aurors and said. "I'm ordering them to remove that lady and those girls from my hospital. They are interfering with the work of my healers".

Amelia looked through the window and saw Poppy working on Harry. "You will stand down and leave healer Pomfrey alone or I will curse you myself. Is that under stood".

Both of the aurors nodded and took off.

"Is that Poppy" the director asked while he himself was looking through the window.

Amelia nodded.

When the director saw the nod he immediately went to work. "Poppy what do you need and what can I do".

"You yourself have done enough, but get me three nurses to clean up this mess, and get me all the potions you have in stock, this boy is going to need a lot of them".

Poppy was working overtime to try and heal Harry as best as she could. All the wounds that were visible were nothing compared with the ones he had internally. There was nothing to do about it but she had to give Harry more and more pain. And because he was in some kind of shock Minerva could not feel a thing and she had no indication about what Harry was going through.

His face suddenly relaxed as if everything was alright to immediately turn back into one of emends pain.

Daphne saw that Poppy was working hard on his body so his facial expression didn't add up. And with worry in her eyes Daphne looked up at Poppy.

"I'm sorry girls but I have to do it. I cannot bring Harry into a coma at this point. If I would do that than it would be fatal for him, only in this way I can keep an eye on him".

Both Bella and Daphne nodded and went on whit what they were doing.

The three nurses who were ordered to help them didn't do nothing else but remove dirty cottons with blood and replacing them with fresh ones.

Every blood replacing potion that Daphne poured into the mouth of Harry seemed to be gushing out of his body from differed places. It was to replace the blood that Harry had lost but it only seemed to make him bleed faster and faster.

Slowly one after the other wounds of Harry stopped bleeding. The hard ones Poppy had to stitch up the Muggle way but it looked like it was working. It was four hours later that Harry was still lying on the table but Poppy was no longer working on him.

Poppy gave each girl a kiss on their forehead and walked outside to the others where she sat down and started to cry while she laid her head into her hands.

Isabella had tears in her eyes from the frustrating feelings Poppy was feeling.

Minerva who was held company by Arabella, because Arabella could just not look at Harry in that way again came walking out of her room, followed closely by Arabella. The first thing she did was to go and look at her grandson. After that she sat down next to Poppy and laid an arm around her shoulder.

Poppy looked at her and sight deeply. "Minerva I'm not going to go back to Hogwarts. Not until Harry is out of danger. At this moment he is fighting for his life in there. I know that I have done all that I can do for now and all that is left is up to him. I just can't shake the feeling that somehow Albus knows about all of this.

Minerva gave a firm nod and looked through the window. "Poppy what is wrong with Harry?"

The question Minerva asked Poppy seemed to hurt her a lot. She stood up and started to walk circles through the hallway.

Everyone looked at her but kept their mouth shut, and just watch her walking around.

Than all of a sudden Poppy started to speak. "Harry has a concussion. His liver is ruptured. One of his longs is collapsed. He has a bruised kidney and his spleen is dying". Poppy took a breath and kept silent for a moment, wondering if she had forgotten something.

"These are the worst of his injuries and also the most troubling. All those injuries have been treated and his spleen is a matter of time but the signs are good". Poppy looked at Minerva and laid her hand on her shoulder. We will let Harry rest for seven days. After those seven days we will be starting on healing his other injuries.

Poppy saw the looks from the others and went on. "Harry has four broken ribs, a broken nose, foot and lower arm. His skull is fracture just like his jaw but that is not so important and will be fixed in a minute. We are only hoping that he will pull through these seven days after that all will be okay".

It was at this point that Poppy looked through the window at Bella and Daphne. "If Harry is going to pull through this, than it will be because of those two girls over there. I have never seen a patient fight as hard as he did today. Too bad that we will wake him up after those girls are back at school" Poppy sighed. "I wished that I could keep one of those girls here for him, I don't know how but he seemed to know that they are with him".

That night, Bella and Daphne staid all night at the side of Harry. It was just one hour ago that he was put into a magically induced coma. They had both kissed him goodnight and saw how he fell asleep. Now however it seemed that already after thirty minutes he was having a nightmare.

Bella was now biting her lower lip, she wanted to help him, now hat he was having one. Harry who always helped her when she had one, something that happened almost twice a month now, bud she herself could do nothing for him.

While Bella was sitting there just watching Harry, she just could not understand why this was happening to him again. After harry had his grandmother back all of this should have stopped. He should have never been beaten again. But again for Harry it was far from it, he wasn't save before school, He wasn't save at school and now he wasn't even save in his own home. She just didn't understand why Harry was not allowed to be happy.

Bella was deep in thought when she felt the hand of Daphne on her shoulder. "We have to find someone to sit with Harry when we are at school" she said.

Bella looked again at Daphne while she was thinking hard. "I can do it Daphne" Bella responded.

Daphne smiled at Bella and said. "Sorry Bella, but we have to go to school so you cannot be here".

Bella put her head to the side and again said. "No I'm Serious Daphne I can do it. My other I in Azkaban can do it. As a prisoner she could be with her intended when his life is in danger. And we both know that Harry is now fighting for his life. And with Amelia here we can keep it a secret from the ministry and in that way Bellatrix can be with Harry when he wakes up".

Daphne slowly began to smile and took her into a hug. "That's a wonderful idea and I will go and tell the others immediately.

Three days later both Bella and Daphne were still sitting at the side of the bed. They knew that there was nothing they could do for Harry but still remained at his side. Hermione who went home a day later returned with Neville and together with Susan they replaced Daphne and Bella just as often as they did the first time when he was in the infirmary at school".

*#*

The plan from Bella to get Bellatrix to St Mungo was received with mix feelings. That Bellatrix had the right to be with her intended that was not the question, but she had to be there in public. Something a lot of people couldn't and wouldn't understand.

Minerva on the other hand had a solution an explained it to them. It was an explanation the all could see happening.

The one thing that was in there favor was that Andromeda was like a twin sister to Bellatrix. It was there for that Bellatrix would be brought to St Mungo under the invisible cloak from Harry and replace Andromeda as herself. Tonks would be the auror to be with Bellatrix 24/7 so that she could still play the daughter of Andromeda while she was keeping an eye on Bellatrix.

*#*

Early on the last day before school, David, Tonks and Daphne stood in front of the gates of Azkaban. Amelia had arranged for them to pick Bellatrix up on the condition that she would cooperate with what they wanted.

Andromeda had said that if Daphne would explain it to Bellatrix then there would be no problems. It was there for that Daphne was the first to walk to the cell Of Bellatrix.

Bellatrix was standing at the bars just waiting for her Harry. She knew that he would come during his holiday and was starting to get impatient. So she especially looked on with distrust when Daphne stepped towards her bars.

"Bellatrix we need your help" Daphne said without any hesitation.

Bellatrix didn't respond and just kept looking at Daphne.

Daphne started to get an unpleasant feeling about it all, took a deep breath and said. "It's about Harry, he has been taking away from us by Port key, he was them mistreated, and it's very bad" she added quickly. Daphne now looked at Bellatrix and waited.

"How is Harry doing now and where is he" were the two questions Bellatrix asked.

Tears immediately sprang into the eyes of Daphne and slowly she started to tell Bellatrix about what had happened.

Bellatrix sank down to her knees and started to sob. She immediately promised to do whatever they wanted just to be able to be there for her Harry.

When David and Tonks had removed her from her cell she asked for a wand.

David hesitated but Daphne immediately gave her, her own wand.

"I Bellatrix Black swear on my life and magic that I will do everything they ask of me, up and until the moment that I'm back in my cell. So mote it be".

David looked at Bellatrix and was astonished by what she had done; He had never expected, that Bellatrix would do something like that.

It was not long after that that they arrived at the hospital. While Bellatrix was hiding under the invisible cloak she walked down the hallways up to the room Harry was in. At the door she was told to wait until the others had left the room.

Daphne had walked inside and told Bella that Bellatrix was waiting outside of the door. Both girls said there goodbye and kissed Harry on his lips.

Bella took one look at Harry before she left the room. "Get better Harry" she mumbled. "We will be waiting for you at school". With little tears she walked down the hallway with Daphne on her arm.

As they left the room they could see David and Tonks standing there. They knew that Bellatrix was standing between them. They didn't say anything because they were afraid that Bellatrix would be startled as she would see herself as a little girl for the first time. And before they knew when Bellatrix would be send beck, they couldn't take a chance.

After taking Bella down the hallway to a waiting room she came back and told David that they were free to go inside.

Just behind the door Bellatrix took off the cloak and looked at the lying form of Harry on the bed.

There was her little Harry covered in bandages. Here and there all over his body there were little spots of blood from wounds that had reopened on his little body.

Poppy who she remembered as the healer of Hogwarts was standing on his bedside and her sister Andy was on the other side.

With a little hesitation Andy stood and took her little sister by the hand. "Everything will be okay; you only have to be here when he wakes up".

Bellatrix nodded and slowly walked to the edge of the bed.

Andy and David looked on as Bellatrix took the small hand of Harry in hers as she kissed the back of it, while she took her place in the chair that stood beside the bed.

David leaned to Andy and whispered."If you would have asked me one year ago that Bellatrix could show so much love, I would have called you crazy".

Andy leaned back and smiled. "This is not showing love David. This is true love at his finest".

David looked at the look in the eyes of Bellatrix and knew that Andy was right. There was love in the eyes of Bellatrix, love that clearly told you not to mess with her Harry. Then he saw how Bellatrix laid her head against that of Harry and whispered something. He didn't know what she had said, but he loved to be able to.

Andy took the cloak, draped it over her head and disappeared from view. Together with David she left the room and went looking for Daphne and Bella to take them home.

*#*

Bellatrix kissed the back of the hand of Harry. She looked at him with love and leaned in while she placed her head against his. "Stay with me Harry, please don't go away and leave me alone. I know that I'm a death eater and that it will take a lot before I can bring most people around, from the way they are thinking. But for you I will try. I really love you Harry Potter, I loved you from the moment you kissed me in Azkaban" she whispered into his ear.

Bellatrix who had heard what people had done to her Harry could not understand that People would do such things. But she had to think about herself at that point. While she herself was under the influents of the dark Lord and her husband, she herself did horrible things. She however never did anything to a child, no matter how much they told her to her mind just didn't listen.

It was more than an hour later when the door opened and a nurse walked into the room.

Bellatrix didn't look up but heard a familiar voice talking to her. "The patient has to be washed and the bandages' has to be changed".

Bellatrix looked up and looked at the nurse. "Narcissa what are you doing here" was her question.

Narcissa was startled when she saw Bellatrix sitting next to a patient. Immediately she looked at the person that was lying in the bad and could see that it was Harry Potter that was lying there. Narcissa walked to the bed side and could see Harry's eyes were closed. She then took the chart and read it over while her eyes grew wide.

With one hand in front of her mouth she read about fractures, bruises, and a lot more. "How did he survived this after all he has been through" Narcissa whispered to no one.

Bellatrix looked at her sister with interest. She had heard the wonder in her voice but didn't understand the thing her sister had said. "What do you mean by ALSO" Bellatrix almost screamed at her sister.

Narcissa however did not look up or responded to her question. She did tell her that she was now a voluntary nurse and was helping out on the weekends. She was now working on becoming a full time nurse like she always wanted to be.

Lucius had told her not to do it but she had told him that it would be a good thing for when there lord would get back.

Narcissa took off his clothes with a wave of her wand and left his boxers in place. She asked Bellatrix if she could get the water and sponge to wash him with, while she herself took of the bandages with another wave of her wand and looked at the new scars that were covering his body.

While Bellatrix poured the water in a bowl she turned around and let everything drop to the floor when she saw her little Harry. She could see scars over his whole body, fresh ones and old ones. They were on his legs arms torso and even on his back.

Bellatrix walked to Harry and looked at his tiny body in front of her.

The last thing Narcissa ever expected were tears in the eyes of Bellatrix, but there they were and it was clear to her that those tears were sincere. But to her amazement she could again see the tears in the eyes of Tonks who had been waiting in the corner of the room.

Bellatrix mumble something like how can this be and why.

Narcissa could not give her an answer.

Tonks could, but didn't know if she should. Then again Bellatrix would someday be his wife and therefore she would have the right to know. While she was thinking it over she could see how Bellatrix touched his scars gently.

While Narcissa and Bellatrix were bathing Harry, she could still see tears flowing down her cheeks.

Narcissa was working on Harry and was glancing sideways at Bellatrix every two seconds. Never in her life had she seen Bellatrix care for someone else like she was doing now and just as they had Harry back in his pajamas Tonks coughed.

It was with some difficulty that Tonks admitted that she knew some of the reasons why harry had the scars he had. Slowly she started to tell them both about what she knew and where the scars had came from. She didn't tell them about the memories she had seen but only the big lines. That he was abused and traded like a house elf.

She knew that they would be mad and it was something she would understand. She herself had also been mad when she had learned about them.

Narcissa was the one to be mad. But Bellatrix had a completely different reaction than her sister had. Whit out a tear she lowered her head near that of Harry, her voice lo and in a whisper, but clearly audible to the others in the room. "Harry the day that I'm a free woman I will go to that so-called Aunt and Uncle of yours. That day will be their last day they will breathe a breath of air. They will be praying for their death when I'm done with then. No one will ever hurt you again as long as I'm with you and I will be with you till the day we die".

The words Bellatrix spoke were no different than the words the others have spoken Tonks thought to herself. No the different was in the hatred that went with those words. It was so cold that it would make the death turn around in their graves and it gave Tonks a shiver of fear running down her spine. If it had been any other than that aunt and uncle, Tonks would have pity with them. But now she only thought they would diverse everything they got.

Later that evening Poppy Pomfrey came in to the room to check on Harry. She had arranged wit Minerva and the director of St. Mungo that she would be the one to take care of Harry. It was only her and nobody else.

Together whit Tonks and Bellatrix she would heal all of his bones and other injuries. It was something that would give him hellish pains all through the night. Only the three of them would do this so that it could be kept quiet for the rest of the magical world.

After two hours she was finished and Harry could start to heal himself for that night.

Bellatrix covered him up with the blanket and kissed his forehead. It was also on that time that the door opened and Minerva came walking into the room. Bellatrix stood and went to stand in her way. "I'm sorry Professor McGonagall but Harry is not allowed to receive visitors" Bellatrix told her while she looked her straight in the eyes.

Minerva, who was not intimidated by that look, looked right back at her. "Bellatrix let's get one thing straight. I know that you will be the wife of Harry when he becomes seventeen or when you are free. When that happens I will give my cub to you, however until that time and there after he is and will remain my grandson, which will make you my granddaughter. Now step aside and let me look at my grandson".

Bellatrix eyes widened when she heard Minerva call Harry her cub. While she nodded hard and fast she stepped aside and went to the corner looking down in shame. It was only a second later when she felt the hand from Minerva pull her in a hug and glided her to the other side of their Harry.

Bellatrix immediately remembered who Minerva was, a loving woman, a caring woman and a damn scary one if you would cross her.

That night the four of them talked until the early hours in the morning. In this way Bellatrix learned a lot about the life of Harry and also how Albus Dumbledork had held a lot of influents over his life over the past years.

She was beyond mad when she heard the stories over the life Harry had had until now. She herself had a hatred towards the dark lord. But those feelings only increased with every story she heard.

The only thing she feared was what she had to do when her Lord would come back and especially how she would get away from him when he did. It was a fear she told the others while she was looking at the floor.

To her amazement Minerva started to chuckle and told her, "Bellatrix, on the day your Lord returns, Harry will be ready for him. You know as well as I do that he will seek out Harry as soon as he can. Only he will not find a baby, but a warrior ready to kill him.

Bellatrix could hear by the sound of her voice that Minerva was raising her grandson to take care of Voldemort. "But Minerva Lord Voldemort is so strong and I don't know if Harry will ever be strong enough".

From out the corner a small chuckle sound sounded through the room. Poppy who was still standing in the room could not hold herself and chuckled.

Bellatrix looked at her and raised an eyebrow at her.

Poppy saw this and walked to wards her. Softly she laid her hands on her shoulders. "Bellatrix, How old do you have to be to hold off a stunner from a pissed off Dumbledore".

Bellatrix looked at her but didn't understand what Poppy was telling her. "I really don't know Poppy. I only know that my Lord has always been afraid of Dumbledore, other than that, I wouldn't know of any other person who would be able the match their power.

Again Bellatrix thought hard. "I really don't know, I think you have to be an adult wizard and then one of extreme power".

It was now that Minerva started to chuckle too.

Poppy again looked at Bellatrix and shook her head with a little smile on her face. "No Bellatrix, I have known Albus Dumbledore for sixty years. I know of one person who could do it, But have only seen one person who has done it. The one who had done it was twelve-years old, and his name is Harry Potter".

Bellatrix looked at Harry with a new found respect. "You said you know of one who could do it but that wasn't Harry was it".

Again Poppy smiled. She could see that Bellatrix was still the curious and very smart witch she had always been. There was not a lot that would escape her perception from what was being told. "No that wasn't Harry, this boy here is strong almost as strong as Albus is now. However there is one person that would put the power of Voldemort and Albus to shame. And that is our Minerva here".

Bellatrix turned her eyes to Minerva and just stared at her, while she continued to listen to Poppy.

"Minerva here is the strongest witch you will ever know. However her dueling skills are laughable. She will only win if she has to defend her cub, otherwise she is nothing with a wand, except for transfiguration then she is a real sorcerer. Not even Merlin himself could hold a candle to her transfiguration skills.

No this boy is only a boy; on the day he becomes an adult he will be stronger than Merlin himself. Until that day we will be teaching him everything he needs to know". It was now that Poppy turned to Minerva and said. "Minerva I still have a feeling that Dumbledore knows about this, I even think he knows where and when it would happen".

Minerva could only nod by those words.

Bellatrix who had been quiet throughout the conversation could no longer control herself. "WHAT. Are you telling me that Albus Dumbledore did this to a kid? Did this to my Harry", Bellatrix waited for an answer but she got none. The only thing she got were glances but those glances told her enough.

The rest of the night they sat quietly and talked softly while they were watching Harry's face go from peace to pain and back.

When Minerva and Poppy left Tonks retook her place on the side of her aunt.

*#*

In the days that followed, Bellatrix sat at one end of the bad talking to anyone that came by and to Harry when she was alone. Nobody thought that it was strange that Bellatrix was sitting there day and night, something that was understandable because the all thought that it was Andromeda Potter who was sitting and his bed side.

For those who knew that it was Bellatrix it was just as normal as it would have been otherwise. They all knew that Bellatrix was innocent and there for they didn't blame her for anything.

The one thing where Bellatrix was anxious for was the meeting with Augusta Longbottom. She could clearly remember how her husband told her to kill little Neville Longbottom. And she also remembered putting him in a closet. But what happened after that she didn't know.

That little fear that she had, had been taken away the minute Augusta walked into the room and hugged her lovingly. It was then that she heard how Neville and Harry were like brothers. It was also on that afternoon the she heard the story of how the five friends minus Bella had taken on the Wizengamot, with her Neville in the lead role.

After the story Bellatrix looked at her Harry and knew that she would have a man that could conker the world together with his friends, a man far better than her Lord could ever hope to be.

*#*

At the end of the week Tonks walked into the room with two small frames in her hand.

Bellatrix looked at the frames and was startled when Lily and James walked into them. She could remember them both from school. Sure they were years higher than her but still she remembered them both. She even had a little crush on James and even one on Lily.

When she saw them waking into the frames she didn't know what to say. They were the parents from her future Husband. But they were killed by her Lord why she was a follower willing or not. Sure she was there because of a contract and an Imperius curse, but would they understand that.

Lily seemed to understand her and she also knew that she had been under the Imperius curse. That was a relief for Bellatrix and it helped in the bonding that took place that afternoon.

They didn't blame her for anything that had happened and even seemed to appreciate the love she had for Harry. The best thing was the conversation she had with both of them in the far corner of the room.

Tonks looked on when Bellatrix was talking to the two frames. "I thing that Bellatrix has the okay to merry you, your parents are talking to her and they are smiling. You know that you are a lucky boy don't you. They all love you, it's just too bad this had to happen to you" Tonks told Harry while she was rubbing his hand with her finger.

Later that night Bellatrix told Tonks that Lilly had asked her about the torture they had given Frank and Alice Longbottom. Unfortunately she could not tell her a lot because she was not the one who had tortured them.

She could however tell them the state they were in when they left. This seemed to make Lily smile. Bellatrix told Tonks that Lily had said that she was positive that she could bring them back.

It was something Bellatrix and Tonks hoped she would be able to do.

After almost two weeks in the hospital it was time for Harry to wake up. Poppy had given him the wake up potion and was now waiting for Harry to wake up. Slowly he started to stir and moan.

Minutes started to pass and it would be any moment the he would wake up.

Bellatrix started to lean over him and was making sure that she would be the first one he would see.

Slowly his eyes opened into slits. He tried to look around but couldn't see a lot. The light from the room was too bright and it made it difficult for him to open his eyes all the way.

Slowly he started to see a silhouette from a person. He didn't know who it was but he waited for his eyes to adjust a little. Now he could see that it was someone's head and the person had black curly hear.

"Hi darling how do you feel".

Harry narrowed his eyes a little. He remembered the voice and was sure he knew the person that went with the voice. Slowly the head became clearer and he could see that it was a woman. Then he saw the two brown eyes he remembered and loved. He saw the smile he had dreamed about. "Hi Bellatrix am I in Azkaban too" He asked with a raspy voice.

Bellatrix smiled. "No sweetheart you are in St Mungo" she said and kissed him on the lips. "I love you Harry Potter" she whispered in his ear.

"I love you too" Harry mumbled.

Bellatrix smiled again and took him in a soft hug.

It was two hours later that Harry understood why he was in the hospital, and also why Bellatrix was there with him.

When Poppy told him six hours later that he still had to stay in st Mungo for a week it was time for Bellatrix to go back. With one last and very intense hug and passionate kiss on the lips Bellatrix said goodbye.

Andromeda retook her place and Tonks and David made sure that Bellatrix went back safely.

The next day was the day the family came by to visit him.

David didn't know what to think. His respect for Harry grew day after day. He had defeated death ones again. And he only seemed to grow stronger each time he did.

Harry on the other hand enjoyed all the attention he was getting. He himself could not remember anything from the attack and if he was honest he didn't care. The others seemed disappointed by this fact but Harry was just happy he was still alive.

Tonks told him that she would be teaching him and his friends more about fighting. And not only magical but also Muggle fighting styles. The same thing was promised by David. They would be teaching him and the others little things and now they were going to step it up.

When everybody was gone Harry was left alone with the frames of his parents.

His mother Lily was Happy that he was still with them.

James on the other hand had mixed feelings. He was happy that Harry was still with his grandmother and friends. But he was also angry, angry at himself that he was not there to help his son with the struggles he would be facing in his life.

Harry assured him that he was happy that he was with his grandmother, but also that he was still able to see his parents in this way and that they would be there to guide him with advice if he needed it.

When Isabella came back to get the frames from Lily and James to bring them back to Potter castle, Lily asked her to give him a motherly hug from her. Isabella nodded and took Harry into a hug and poured all her love into that hug.

It was a feeling he would never forget.

A/N: Next time will be a chapter off for Harry, just so you know.

A/N: That was it for this week. Let me know what you think of it. See you again in two weeks. Gr Winmau.
