Prompt (The If You Dare Challenge): 9: Blankly

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Harry groaned as his eyes fluttered open and he saw nothing but white surrounding him. He knew then that he was in a hospital of some sort but wasn't sure which hospital or if it was a Magical or Muggle hospital. When he felt someone put a hand on his harm he turned his head slightly and was surprise to find one Severus Snape sitting by his bedside. "Where am I? What happened?"

Severus sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "You are at St. Mungos, Mr. Potter. As for what happened to you I was hoping that you could tell me and the Healers on your case. What is the last thing that you remember, Mr. Potter?"

Harry stared at Severus blankly for several minutes. Even as he finally started to remember what apparently had landed him in St. Mungos he made sure to keep his face blank until he no longer could. He closed his eyes for a minute and then opened them back up letting his Potions Professor see all the pain, anger, and hurt that he felt shining through his eyes. "I remember now but I didn't at first. My uncle went too far again. How did I come to be here though? Can I get a drink please? My throat is dry."

Severus' eyes hardened as he stood up and poured Harry a glass of water. He then held the cup up to Harry's mouth and helped him to drink his fill. "You have a house elf that is completely loyal to you, Mr. Potter. When you hadn't responded to Miss Granger's letter for three days straight she called Dobby and asked him to check on you. From what I got out of the elf once he was calmed down enough he found you in the cupboard under the stairs bleeding and unconscious so he brought you right here. He then came straight to me because for some reason he thought I was the best person to help you. I finally figured out that it was because he trusted my potions and wasn't letting anyone give you any of the potions that you needed. Mr. Potter, why have you told nobody that your uncle abuses you?"

Harry frowned. "I tried to tell Dumbledore but he told me I had to return to the house because of blood wards or something like that. He also pretty much told me that I must be exaggerating what happens to me so after that I never told him or anyone else because I thought they would just say the same thing that he did. So what exactly is the damage? And why am I not in pain? Also could you please call me Harry, Professor? When you call me Mr. Potter it makes me think that I'm in trouble and I don't think I need to stress about that possibility right now."

Severus nodded his head. "Dumbledore will be dealt with, Harry. He never should have spoken to you like that especially since abuse was the subject that he said it about. Your aunt and uncle have been arrested by the DMLE and they even brought your cousin in so that they could question him. We weren't exactly sure what happened to put you in the state that you were in but Hermione and Dobby were both sure that your relatives had done something to you which is why they were picked up. You have been in a coma for the last five days and there for a while it was touch and go. You had a fractured skull, fractured neck, your back was broken, both of your collar bones were broken, your right leg was broken in three places, your left leg was broken in two place, both of your feet were broken, your right wrist and hand was broken, your left shoulder was dislocated, your left arm was broken, and you had two cuts on your stomach. The Healers were able to heal you but even now your recovery will take a while. You are also very malnourished and will be on nutrition potions as well as a couple others for several months if not a year or longer. You don't feel any pain because I have been spelling the highest dosage of a pain reliever potion straight into your stomach every four hours."

Harry sighed. "I knew that the injuries were bad but I didn't realize that they were that bad. I owe Hermione a life debt since she thought to send Dobby to check on me."

Severus shook his head. "You don't owe anyone a life debt, Harry. Besides even if you did owe her a life debt it would be cancelled out with the fact that you saved her in first year from the troll that was in the castle. Your aunt and uncle are looking at hard time for what they did to you, Harry. They were already looking at hard time but the fact that you are now Lord Potter since you just turned seventeen they will be facing even more charges. I need to alert the Healers and Madam Bones know that you are awake. After I send them a message I will help you to the bathroom so that you can clean up some but I cannot leave you in the bathroom alone I'm afraid. The head Healer whose name is Savannah Malfoy went ahead and vanished and then regrew all of the bones in both of your legs and both of your arms because it showed up on her scan that they were weak. She thought it best to go ahead and have you start from scratch on all of your bones so that there isn't a chance that they will break so easily this time. So for the next couple of weeks you are going to be weak but that will quickly fade as you get up and moving around. You will need to take it easy for the next three months since your neck and back were both seriously injured."

Harry smiled slightly at the concern he could hear in Severus' voice as well as see in his eyes. "I promise that I will take it easy, Professor. But now that you have said something I really do need to use the bathroom. Oh and is the head Healer any relation to Draco and Lucius?"

Severus chuckled slightly. "Savannah is Lucius' niece. Lucius is the one who requested that she be put on your case because we know how you are with people you don't know. I guess I should send word to Lucius as well when I send word to Amelia. Let me get these messages sent and I'll help you." He pulled his wand out and then quickly cast his patronus. "To Amelia Bones, Savannah Malfoy, and Lucius Malfoy. Harry is awake and talking if you need to come and see him. He didn't remember at first what happened but after several minutes it came to him." He waited until his patronus disappeared before he stood up and helped Harry off of the hospital bed and walk slowly to the bathroom.

After he went to the bathroom and started doing a quick wash up with Severus' help Harry finally asked "Why hasn't anyone tried to come into the room since I woke up, Professor? Surely with this being Mungos there are spells on the bed letting Healers and Medi Witches or Medi Wizards know that a patient is awake or out of their bed."

Severus nodded in appreciation for Harry's question. "First off you may call me Severus, Harry. Now when school is in session you will have to call me Professor when there are other students around but when we're alone you may call me by my first name. Now to answer your question the only ones allowed in this room are Savannah, Lucius, Amelia, Kingsley, Miss Granger, Draco, Mister Longbottom, Miss Lovegood, Arthur, Remus, Moody, Tonks, Andromeda, Minerva, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, and George Weasley. There is an Auror posted outside your hospital room because Dumbledore, Molly, Ginevra, and Ronald Weasley all came here and made one hell of a scene and said some things that they shouldn't which resulted in the guards beings posted. Well that and the fact that Dumbledore tried to take you away and return you to your aunt's house. Needless to say Dumbledore is being questioned by the DMLE for his part in everything including theft of money from your family vault. Now we should get you back to your bed because you look like you're about to collapse. I am going to carry you back because I think you have been on your feet too long. Okay?"

Harry sighed in resignation but nodded. He waited until he was back in his hospital bed before he said "Griphook and Ragnok were going to send the files to Madam Bones about the fact that Dumbledore, Molly, Ronald, and Ginny were taking my money and other items. I only found out two weeks ago that I was even a Lord and that I was named as Sirius' heir. Actually I think that is what set Vernon and Petunia off. Vernon found some papers that I had from Gringotts telling me about the money they were receiving since I lived with them. He also took the letter I had on me from Ragnok stating that they were stopping the payments and taking all the money back since the Dursley's never spent a penny of it on me. Vernon didn't like the fact that his money well was about to dry up."

Severus' eyes flashed. "I will make sure that Amelia knows about that, Harry. Is there anything else that you remember?"

Harry let his eyes close and missed Amelia, Lucius, and Savannah coming in as he said "When Vernon demanded that I write back and tell Ragnok that I wanted them to keep giving money to the Dursley's I told him no way in hell and the next thing I know I'm on the floor from where Petunia hit me upside the head with a cast iron skillet. Everything after that is kind of a blur but I remember Vernon using a rifle to beat on me with and Dudley using a baseball bat. I know that I kept fading in and out. I really can't say for sure how long they beat on me for. I know that Vernon stomped on my back repeatedly while I was laid out on the floor and I think that Dudley actually jumped on my back at one point with both of his feet. I'm sorry that I can't remember much more than that."

Amelia cleared her throat and gently said "You shouldn't push yourself to remember, Lord Potter-Black. Everything will come back to you as you continue to heal. Now while Healer Malfoy checks you over I have a couple of questions for you if you feel like answering them."

Harry's eyes flew open and he smiled sheepishly at the three new people in his room. "That is alright by me, Madam Bones, as long it is fine by Healer Malfoy. And please continue calling me Harry."

Amelia smiled slightly at Harry. "Call me Amelia, Harry. Just because I have to ask you some questions doesn't mean you can't call me by my first name since I told you to a year ago." She turned her head slightly to look at Savannah. "Savannah, will it be alright if I ask Harry some questions while you check him over."

Savannah nodded as she walked to Harry's hospital bed. "That is fine by me, Amelia. Hello, Harry, it is nice to meet you now that you're awake. I am Healer Savannah Malfoy and I'm the head Healer on your case but you can just call me Savannah. I am going to run several scans on you to check your progress. I know that right about now you are probably needing a pain reliever potion but just hold on for a few minutes and you can have one. Unfortunately some of the ingredients in the pain reliever potion can cause false readings on some of the scans that I will be doing. If you have any questions be sure to ask me. Alright, Harry? I promise you that I will not lie to you nor will I keep anything from you. Now talk to Severus, Amelia, and uncle Lucius while I do my scans and check you over with my own eyes and hands as well."

Harry nodded slightly. "Yes, Savannah. Amelia, what do you need to know?"

Amelia smiled and walked over to stand beside Harry's bed on the side that Savannah wasn't on. She wasn't surprised to see Lucius join her and Severus who was still seated at Harry's bedside. "Who hurt you, Harry?"

Harry took in a deep breath and let it out. "Vernon, Petunia, and Dudley Dursley are the ones who hurt me. They found out that I was stopping payments that they were receiving from me and taking the money that they had received over the years back since none of it was spent on me. When I flat out told Vernon that I wouldn't stop Director Ragnok or Griphook the Potter account manager from doing it that is when they started beating on me."

Amelia nodded. "How long have they been abusing you, Harry? And have you ever told anyone about it before?"

Harry sighed. "They have been abusing me for as long as I can remember. The first memory I have of the abuse is from where I was five and I burnt their dinner. Since I burnt their dinner Petunia put my right hand on the stove burner with it on and burnt my hand and the lower part of my arm. She thought that was the perfect punishment since I had burnt their food it was only fair that I got burnt too. After that I never burnt their food again. I did tell Dumbledore that my aunt and uncle abused me at the end of my first year and he told me that surely I was exaggerating and sent me back to them again. After that I never told anyone else ever again because I thought they would give me the same response that Dumbledore did."

Amelia swore and shook her head. "I am so sorry that you had to go through this, Harry. It very well could have been prevented if Dumbledore would have done what he should have which was let the DMLE know. I can tell you that the Wizengamot is making Dumbledore answer for what he has done. It was somehow leaked that you had been hurt and that Dumbledore had his hands in your vaults when he didn't have permission too. I can also tell you that he will be answering questions about what went on your first five years of school since it has come to the DMLE's attention that you have been in danger every year. I just have a couple more questions and then you can get some rest. When did you become aware that you are Lord Potter-Black?"

Harry smirked slightly at that because he knew what she was doing. "I became aware a couple of weeks ago that I am Lord Potter-Black. Up until then I didn't even know that I was a Lord of any house. I didn't even know that I had more than my trust vault until a couple weeks ago when Ragnok sent me a letter that acted as a portkey because he suspected that I had, had my heritage withheld from me. Ragnok and Griphook explained everything to me and also informed me that Sirius had named me his heir. I knew nothing of my heritage or family and while I'm learning some about my heritage I still don't know much about my family. Hardly anybody ever talks to me about my parents or grandparents. Bloody hell I didn't even know what my mum and dad looked like until Hagrid gave me a picture album of them for Christmas."

Amelia's eyes hardened that that. "We will get that rectified, Harry. Okay my last question is this. Do you wish to press charges against Dumbledore, Molly Weasley, Ronald Weasley, and Ginevra Weasley? I won't ask you about pressing charges against your uncle, aunt, and cousin because that will be done regardless. Dumbledore will also have charges against him but if you give the go ahead on pressing charges against him the charges will be more numerous."

Harry thought for a minute and then looked straight into Amelia's eyes. "I, Lord Harry James Potter, do formally want to press charges against the ones named Albus Dumbledore, Molly Weasley, Ronald Weasley, and Ginevra Weasley. Furthermore I want to add the charges attempted line theft, poisoning of a Lord of an Ancient and Noble House, and theft of Potter heirlooms to all of the named persons above. So mote it be." When a light flashed he knew that it was noted. "Does that answer your question, Amelia? For the proof of the poisoning charge talk to Ragnok and Griphook they have the test results of all potions that were found in my system up to and including loyalty potions, love potions, and a potion that drops all of my inhibitions hence my reckless exploits at Hogwarts."

Amelia smirked. "That it does, Harry. I will make sure that those charges are added to the ones we are already charging them with. Now on a personal note I hope that you get better soon, Harry. If you need a place to stay when you are finally released you are more than welcome to come to mine and Susan's home. We would love to have you. Also Susan asked that I pass on her get well wishes for her."

Harry smiled at that. "Tell Susan I said thank you, Amelia. As for staying with you I will think on it."

Amelia nodded but didn't get the chance to respond because Savannah said "You are healing nicely, Harry, if a little slow. With all the bones that we had to regrow you are going to feel extremely weak and tired if you are up too much or if you try to use your hands or arms too much. You are not allowed to do magic for the next month at least because you're core needs time to heal since it pretty much exhausted itself trying to keep you alive until help got to you. Magic being done on you will need to be monitored. If you have to move your head I want you to do it slowly because you had a fractured skull and neck and while I healed them you still need time for them to be one hundred percent. Now that you are awake I want to start you on some bland food just until you get use to eating again. You are way too underweight for someone your age so you need to put on some serious weight. To that end you will be taking nutrition potions, appetite enhancing potions, and vitamin potions. You had some internal damage when you were brought in but I am happy to say that your liver and kidneys have all healed completely. Now do you have any questions for me, Harry?"

Harry thought for a minute or two before he finally asked "Am I allowed to play Quidditch when school starts back up? Am I allowed to fly recreationally? When can I get out of here?"

Savannah laughed. "I was told that you are house quidditch team and that you love to fly. You may be able to play quidditch but we will have to see how your health is when it is time for your first game. You are allowed to fly but only if you have someone else flying with you in case you need help for some reason. As for when you can get out of here that won't be for at least another two weeks. I know that you want out of here sooner but I need to make sure that everything is on the right track. Besides in a couple of days we will start you on physical therapy to help you get some strength back in all of your body parts and not just for the bones but for your muscles as well. Any other questions?"

Harry nodded slightly. "May I have a pain relief potion now?"

Savannah nodded but it was Severus who said "Here you are, Harry."

Harry shot a grateful smile at Severus and took the potion that he was holding out to him. He quickly downed the potion and let his eyes fall close after he gave the empty vial back to Severus. "I'm tired now so I'm going to try to sleep. Thank you all for everything you have done."

Lucius who had been quiet up until then smiled as he softly replied. "Get some sleep, Harry. Severus and I will be here when you wake up again. And I'm sure that Amelia will come back to see you again and you will be seeing Savannah often."

Harry smiled and swiftly fell asleep. He didn't even hear Amelia or Savannah leave and he definitely didn't hear Lucius and Severus talking to one another.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Lucius waited ten minutes to make sure that Harry was in a deep sleep before he finally asked what was on his mind. "How was he when he first woke up, Severus?"

Severus sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "It took him almost a half an hour before he remembered what happened to him. When he finally did speak of what happened to him his tone of voice was pretty much dead like it didn't matter what happened to him. It was only when I told him that Dumbledore and his relatives would be dealt with that he perked up in his tone of voice when talking. I helped him to the bathroom and to clean up some but even after just five to seven minutes he was exhausted. Merlin, Lucius, I can't get how he looked when I got here out of my head. He didn't even look anywhere near that bad when he killed Riddle. His body was so broken that there for the first eight hours I wasn't even sure if he would make it. It didn't help that Dobby wasn't letting anyone give him potions without me checking them first. I swear that house elf would kill anyone who dared to hurt his Harry Potter. It took me ordering him and saying that Harry wouldn't want him to do anything that got him into trouble to keep him from going after Dursley. I have never seen a house elf that blood thirsty before."

Lucius chuckled lightly at that. "Dobby is very protective of Harry. So whose place is he going to once he is released? I know that you're not going to let him out of your sight before school resumes and that is if you even let him out of sight then."

Severus pursed his lips. "I think that Harry and I should come to your house because it is warded heavily. The last thing he needs right now is to be hounded by the press. As it is any and all correspondence to Harry is getting routed to Gringotts. Speaking of letters I really should let Granger, Lovegood, Longbottom, Remus, Minerva, and the older Weasley's know that Harry is awake and that they can come and see him tomorrow or the day after. Right now he doesn't need to be riled up."

Lucius smirked. "When I got your patronus I told Draco and asked him to let the others know. He will tell them that Harry is awake and can receive visitors tomorrow."

Severus let out a sigh of relief. "That is good then. Would you mind staying here with Harry while I go shower and get me something to eat other than cafeteria food? I shouldn't be more than two hours."

Lucius nodded and smiled. "I will sit with our boy, Severus. I will send word if he wakes back up before you get back."

Severus smirked this time. "I spelled a dreamless sleep into his stomach so he should be out until tomorrow morning at the earliest. Even though he needs to eat he needs some restful sleep as well that isn't a coma."

Lucius sighed. "Go and get a shower and something to eat. I'm not going to go anywhere and nobody but those on the approved list will get in here while you're gone. The only ones I can see stopping by are Minerva, Remus, Arthur, Kingsley, and Moody. They will be relieved just seeing him and I will make sure that they keep quiet if they talk. Now go." He watched Severus leave before he turned back to Harry and looked him over with narrowed eyes. He sighed again and sat back in his seat once he was finished with his perusal. He had no doubt that Harry would get back to one hundred percent because him and Severus along with everyone else would make sure of it. With that thought in mind he just watched Harry with a smile on his face.


A/N 2: This was originally going to be a oneshot but I decided after seeing how long it was getting that I would make it into at least a two shot... I hope that you all liked this one... Click the button and let me know what you think!
