'Thoughts'

Parseltongue

(Wool's Orphanage)

Harry entered the orphanage with Greengrass. The auror walked up to the woman in the entranceway. He informed her that Harry would be staying there the rest of the summer. Of course he didn't know Harry's plans so he didn't know that he wasn't planning on staying there the whole summer. Once they finished talking Greengrass reluctantly left. The woman sneered at Harry.

"Follow me." She said.

"Yes ma'am." He said respectfully.

He watched her grimace before turning. He followed her to a room. He was disgusted to see the condition it was in. There were two bunk beds on either side of the room. Each had a flat, stained pillow, a ratty blanket, and the mattresses were stained and looked to be in terrible condition. There was only one dresser with four drawers. The top three had names on it.

"This will be your room." She told him.

"Yes ma'am. Thank you for letting me stay here." He said.

She glared at him before leaving. She didn't like how polite he was being. It meant that she couldn't punish him. Once she was gone he took some pictures of the room. He then put them in the journal. Afterward he unpacked his clothing. They were only his hand-me-downs. He wasn't stupid to bring anything new into this place. Luckily the clothes also had heating charms on them so he wasn't going to get cold.

'I can do this.' He thought. 'I learned how to survive at the Dursleys and I can do the same here.'

"Who are you?" A boy asked as he entered the room.

"I'm Harry. This is my new room." He answered.

"Oh. I'm Marcus. This is my room too." Marcus said. "I'm also the boss around here so let me see what you got. I keep anything I want."

'I found a bully so soon.' The emerald eyed boy thought. "Um, okay. I don't really have anything except clothes." He said as he moved to the side.

The boy sneered and began rifling through Harry's clothes. He made a huge mess. He sighed in disappointment when he found nothing. He stood up and glared at Harry.

"If I find out you hid stuff from me I'll make you regret it. Don't get on my bad side." He left after that.

'Of course you will. All that will do is add more to my list. Plus I doubt you can hurt me worse than my uncle.' He thought as he picked up his clothes and put them back.

The rest of the day was uneventful. No matter how rude they were to him he remained polite. It threw them off. The food they served left a lot to be desired. It was grey mush. Luckily he was used to crappy food.

When it was time for bed he waited until everyone was asleep. The green beetle that had come in after the kid Marcus entered the room flew off. Once she was gone and the others were asleep he took out the journal and the pen. He wrote down his day, the condition the orphanage was, and the food. He tapped the photos of the room to the first page. He put it away and fell asleep.

It took a week before anything happened. Harry had been made to clean all the bathrooms. He had been in the last one when the matron entered. She used the same excuse his uncle Vernon liked to use. He didn't clean it fast enough. She had him remove his top and she used a switch to whip him. Harry took note of the beetle flying off.

'Wonder what she is going to do.' He thought.

When his punishment was over he put his shirt back on. He then went back to work. That night he photographed his injuries and wrote them down. He didn't make a sound as he skillfully maneuvered the camera to take them. He then went to bed.

(Hogwarts: Two Days Later)

It had been a long week and two days for Albus Dumbledore. He was worried about his student. Never before had he felt so useless. Since he wasn't Harry's guardian he couldn't go to the bank and request a family tree. He had no idea what to do and vowed to make the minister pay. He just hoped Harry's plan worked. He also hoped his friend responded to his letter.

Minerva barged into his office. She looked to be angry and happy at the same time. She gave him the newspaper and smirked when he read the headline.

Boy-Who-Lived Abused at Orphanage and Minister Refusal to Help

He continued to read and felt angry that his student was hurt, angry that the Minister refused to help, but happy that she wrote the article to help Harry.

"Good work Skeeter." He said.

"I thought so. She did some good research and the article is well written." Minerva said.

"Yes she did and yes it was. Hmm. I wonder what happened in these last few months. She used to write garbage for the views and now her articles are well researched and well written." He said.

"It is. I'm glad though. I wonder how she knew Harry was whipped. I'm glad she knew. How dare that man stop the aurors from investigating it." She hissed. "I can't wait to see how long it will take for the purebloods to get involved." She said.

"Me too. Unfortunately Fudge has already sent that foul woman here." He said with a scowl.

"What foul woman?" She asked.

"Umbridge." Albus answered.

"What?" No one but Fudge liked her.

"She is the new defense teacher." He told her.

"Wonderful." She said sarcastically.

"Indeed. Hopefully, Yen Sid, a friend of mine returns my letter." He said.

After Harry left he wrote to his friend asking for help. He wanted more eyes on his student. He wanted Harry to be trained and he wanted to know why the wards weren't working. They should have kept anyone seeking to hurt his students out. Yet they didn't and when he went to check on them they were perfectly fine. No holes, no tears, no tampering. It infuriated him. Hopefully Yen Sid could help.

"I hope so as well. Now if you'll excuse me I need to stop Poppy from killing the minister." She said.

Albus nodded. "Good luck." He knew how protective she was of her students.

"Thank you. I will need it." Minerva left after that.

"I'll go see Sirius." He knew what the man would do when he saw the newspaper.
