AN -
This is seriously AU - I have messed with a lot of different aspects of the Harry Potter World, You have been warned.
There is a lot of physical and sexual abuse and HEAVY Light Bashing. I haven't decided on any pairings, yet.
Disclaimer - The World of Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling, WB's and I am sure more. This is for entertainment only and I am making NO money from this.
2 in one day - I have been writing like crazy, but I wanted to make sure you saw how both teens were currently doing. I have decided that this is going to have SLASH in it. No hints as to who yet though :)
Harry was laying in bed, trying to ignore the people sitting next to him. He just wanted to be left alone. He was angry, and bitter, though he didn't want to admit it, jealous of Hermione. It was actually a good thing he mused, he didn't have to worry about her being taken care of. Why didn't they just let him die? There was nothing left for him here anymore. He wasn't going to kill the Dark Lord (as if he could have anyway he nearly snorted out loud). No there was nothing left for him.
Tom was there currently. He wanted to be with his daughter, but she insisted he go to Harry. He had to split his time between them, she reminded him that Harry needed him just as much as she did.
"Harry, why aren't you eating?" The boy sighed.
"I don't want to, you should have just killed me...i gave you the perfect opportunity" He didn't even look up at him.
"Why? You have a chance for a good life now...why throw it away?" The Dark Lord spent way to much time trying to muddle through the angst and anger filled minds of teenagers these days.
There was silence for a while, Tom was determined to get an answer from the boy today.
"Please, please talk to me." Yes, he was begging, he was a bit desperate to fix something, anything at this point...maybe he would break something and fix it.
"Go to your daughter, I am sure she needs you. I heard about what happened..."
"No, she is insisting that I try to help you, please talk to me. No one here wants to loose you, and we feel like you are just slipping away."
Tears fell down the sallow cheeks of the boy. "Please...please just leave me alone. I don't want this anymore..."
"No, I am NOT giving up on you Harry, I refuse, please talk to me."
Nothing but silence answered him.
"Hi Cub" Remus Lupin and Sirius Black entered the room, shocked at the skeletal appearance of their Godson. They only briefly saw him before they had to go and close up some homes to take up permanent residence at Riddle Manor. They just returned.
A small smile actually graced the teens lips, the first in weeks. "It is good to see you both looking so happy. You are doing ok with everything?"
"Of course" answered Sirius, "We are worried about you right now though" Sirius sat and tried to grasp the small boys arm. He flinched away almost violently. Both men were shocked.
"Don't...don't touch me." Harry voiced, almost panicky.
"Ok Harry, we wont, just calm down." Remus responded, trying to keep the teen calm.
"Why aren't you eating Harry? You have lost so much weight..." Sirius redirected the conversation slightly while tamping down the urge to shake the boy, he was so worried.
Silence answered the question, as Harry looked away.
"Harry please, we love you, we are worried. Please talk to us, or eat, just don't give up...you cant." Remus was nearly begging. His wolf was howling in response to the misery and pain that was radiating off his cub.
"Just go...be happy together. Tom has guaranteed me you will always be safe here." Harry was shaking slightly.
"Harry..." Remus tried but was cut off.
"Just leave me alone...please" Harry closed his eyes.
Bella, Rodolphus and Rabastan now sat at Harry's bedside, worried beyond belief. Harry was refusing to eat, and refusing to talk, not even to their Lord. He was completely shut down.
"Harry, you are skin and bones already, you HAVE to eat something." Bella tried again.
"If you don't we are going to have to force potions on you to keep you alive, that is NOT fun Harry. Please!" Rabastan tried, they were already sneaking potions into the drinks Harry was actually taking.
Harry finally looked over, his eyes dead.
"I'm taking a shower, leave." He just wanted peace.
"Do you feel strong enough to do it yourself? I can help you if you want?" Rodolphus offered, though a bit shocked at the sudden declaration.
"No, I'm fine." He slowly moved to get up. His body hurt and he felt utterly defeated. He knew in the shower at least they would leave him alone...he hoped. He made his way to the bathroom, the three adults were standing, but wary of leaving him alone. He walked into the bathroom, slowly, almost shuffling.
The next moment, he wasn't sure what actually happened. He either tripped or slipped, but whichever he landed hard on the floor, he felt something in his back snap. He screamed in agony. Pain lanced through his back and hip. Rabastan and Rodolphus were at his side holding him steady.
"I'm going for Severus" Bella yelled as she ran from the room
"Just breath Harry, slowly, deep breaths, its going to be ok." Tears streamed down his face as he tried to breath through the pain that was gripping him.
Severus and Andromeda exited the room, several hours later, both looking tired and a bit defeated. There was an entire group of adults and two teens standing there waiting for news. Draco had arrived with his parents when they were informed that Iliana had been found.
"How is he?" Tom asked quickly.
"His spinal cord snapped and his hip practically shattered. Between the malnutrition, dehydration and previous injuries they were just too brittle to handle a fall like that." Andromeda answered.
"That's how his ribs broke, when Iliana hugged him. The just cracked under the pressure" Severus added.
"So what now?" Asked Bella.
"Well, he needs to eat, and gain some weight, or there will be nothing we can do. As it stands now, he is paralyzed from the waist down. He can gain the ability to walk back, but its going to take intense physical therapy. Right now, he is not in the mental position to do it. He has given up completely. I am giving him 2 days to start eating or I am starting him on IV nutrition, really I should do it now, but I am hoping he will snap out of this and start eating on his own." Andromeda looked horrified at the young boys present state.
"We gave him a dreamless sleep, he will be out for about 24 hours, I suggest we all get some sleep, we are going to need it." Severus intoned.
They all disbanded to their individual rooms, Iliana went with her father, needing the comfort, utterly shocked at the state of her best friend. No one knew what to do, how do you convince someone who has had such a terrible life, that you cant give it up.
