" Well you better get some sleep. So you'll feel better in the morning." James said softly. He bent down and kissed Harry's forehead. Harry closed his eyes. After a little while Harry fell asleep and his grip on James hand lightened. Sirius watched James put his hand on Harry's face.
" James, he's going to be okay." Sirius said looking at Harry's back.
" I know." James said," I'm just so happy to get him back knowing he'll be okay within time."

Twenty minutes later the nurse called Rachel came in.
" Hello, I just have to give him his shots. He's asleep? That's good." Rachel said. Rachel was getting something on her cart two minutes later she had three shots in her hand and walked over to Harry. Sirius moved out of her way and went over by James. Rachel pulled back Harry's blankets then untied his gown so she could see his lower back. She gave him the shot and Harry stirred a little bit. Then she did that back up and put the blankets as they were and went to his shoulder he wasn't laying on and gave him another one. Sirius flinched he hated watching but couldn't keep from it. Then both James and Sirius had to move. James let go of Harry's hand and put it gently on the bed. Rachel came around to where they just left and pulled up Harry's gown and gave him a shot right in the stomach.
" AW!" Harry yelled. Rachel pulled back down Harry's gown. James came back around and saw Harry's eyes open brimming with tears.
"Harry, it's okay. It's okay." James said gently. James gripped Harry's hand again and sat back down , as did Sirius. James put his other hand around Harry's head. Harry relaxed a little. After a bit he fell back to sleep.

The next day Dumbledore came by to see how Harry was doing but couldn't stay. Harry didn't wake up till ten to four that afternoon.
" Harry?" James asked. Harry mumbled and put his free hand up by his face and turned on his back.
"OW!" Harry shouted and turned back to his side.
" Harry are you okay?" James asked. Harry shook his head yes but James didn't even see it, Harry was not okay. The doctor came in and said he had to make sure Harry was healing okay and James stood up and watched in the corner and Sirius left to go get something to eat. James saw the pain on Harry's face and felt so bad for him. He wanted to go over and give him a hug but he couldn't interfere in anyway with what the doctor was doing. When he was done and left Harry didn't really talk at all, he barley ate anything and spent most of his time sleeping, James had to be right next to him and holding his hand or he wouldn't sleep, he didn't feel safe. The next day Rachel came in and asked to speak to James. James got up and followed her from the room.
" James Harry's healing okay physically but not mentally. You might was to consider taking him to a children social worker. It might help, or you could try talking to him otherwise it would build up inside of him and it'll make him go crazy. Most adults can't handle it with out talking to someone and children are worse. Harry was kidnapped and beat he needs to talk to someone." Rachel said seriously. James flinched but shook his head saying he understood. He didn't want Harry going to a social worker so said,
" I'd prefer to be the one he talks to, so I'll talk to him once he gets home." James said. Rachel nodded,
" Yeah that's usually the best." then she walked away. James went back into Harry's room and saw him and Sirius watching a movie on television. Then Harry slept the rest of the day.

The next morning around noon James woke up, he was lying next to Harry on his bed. Sirius had gone home to get some sleep and would be back as soon as he woke up. Then the doctor came in and smiled when he saw James lying next to Harry.
" Mr. Potter, sorry to bother you, but I was going to tell you that, if you went home and got some clothes for Harry he could go home today, but come back with regular check ups. Rachel if going to take everything out of him in a hour. Then he's free to go." he said smiling. James nodded and got up, he was so happy Harry could finally come home.
" Wait, What about the kidnappers? It's not safe for him at home with them on the loose." James said
" Oh didn't anyone tell you? They caught them yesterday and got all your money back. You can go get it whenever you want." the doctor said then he left . James turned to Harry. Just then Sirius came in to the room.
" James! I got your money back! It's in your vault! All of it!" Sirius said smiling.
" I know, and we get to take Harry home today. I'm going to go get him some clothes. Could you stay here with him while I'm gone?"James asked
" Of course." Sirius said. Then James left a sleeping Harry with Sirius to go get some clothes for him. James appearated into Harry's bedroom. He walked over to Harry's dresser and opened the top drawer and pulled out a pair of boxer shorts and some socks. Then he opened the third one down and got a pair of jeans. He walked over to the closet and opened the door and walked in. He chose a blue shirt with a name brand on the front. He walked from the room and went downstairs. He got a old grocery bag and put Harry's close inside. Then grabbed a pair of Harry's shoes and appearated back to the hospital. Harry was still asleep and Sirius was just sitting look at him.
" Hey that was fast." Sirius said. James nodded and put the bag down.

Thirty minutes later Rachel came in.
" Well, I'm going to have to ask you to leave for a minute while I disconnect him. Then you could let him get dressed and come back in here. Then he can leave if he wants." she said with a smile. James and Sirius said "okay" and left. Five minutes later James went back in and saw Harry was awake. Even though he slept all the time he had bags under his eyes and he was pale, but he smiled weakly when he saw James. James handed him his clothes and helped him get dressed since he couldn't really do it on his own. A half hour later Harry found himself in a car driving home from the hospital like a muggle, just like his mom would have wanted. Harry felt his eyes sting as he thought about her, but shook it off and looked out the window. The car ride home was a silent one for the most then James broke the silence when they were just about home.
" Harry can I ask you a question?" James asked. Harry looked over at him.
" shoot." Harry said and looked back out the window
" How are you doing?" James asked, he didn't really think bringing up what happened to Harry was such a good idea, but not for long.
" I don't know." Harry said
"Do you want to talk about it?" James asked. Harry said nothing.
" Harry just talk to me, or I'll, I'll send you to a social worker." James said firmly
" I'm not going to a social worker!" Harry yelled in protest.
" Well then your going to talk to me about it or you will." James said
" No! I don't need to talk to nobody! I just need to be left alone!" Harry yelled.
" Harry you were kidnapped and beat! You do to need to talk to someone! Or I'll give you a truth potion so you'll be forced to whether you like it or not!" James said just before they pulled into the drive way. Harry jumped out and ran inside before James had even parked. Sirius was standing in the living room when Harry ran in. Harry ran right past him and up to his room and slammed the door. He turned on his radio really loud.

Sirius stared after him wondering what happened. When James ran in.
" James what happened?" Sirius asked. James ignored him and ran up to Harry's door and knocked with his fist over the music.
" HARRY! Open this door! If you don't I will!" James said. No answer from Harry just his radio. James pulled out his wand but Sirius stopped him and James looked at him.
" I have to talk to him." James said. Sirius shook his head no.
" Come tell me what happened first." Sirius said. James gave in and followed Sirius downstairs and sat down at the table. James explained what happened.
" Well, obviously he doesn't want to talk about it." Sirius said
" Yeah, but he has to, otherwise it'll build inside of him till he can't take it anymore and does something stupid. So I'm going to go talk to him." James said. Sirius nodded and let James go upstairs. James knocked on Harry's door, no answer.
" Harry I need to talk to you." James said through the door.
" Well I don't need to talk to you!" Harry yelled through the door. James groaned and grabbed his wand, " alohamora" and the door unlocked. James walked in and saw Harry laying on his bed, James shut the door behind him and walked over to the stereo and turned it off.
" Harry." James said. Harry didn't respond.
" Harry, come on just talk to me." James said and went over to sit on Harry's bed. Harry shifted uncomfortably. James put a hand on his back.
" About what?" Harry asked
" About what happened." James said
" Well, go ahead talk to me about it." Harry said after a pause.
" I need you to tell me what happened." James said
" Why should I tell you?" Harry said.
" Because I'm your father and if you don't tell me you'll be sitting in a office with a stranger talking about it." James said. They sat in silence for a minute or two then Harry sat up and faced James.

"Fine. Can I tell you without feeling stupid?" Harry asked himself. " no." he answered himself. Harry started telling James everything that happened after he was kidnapped everything in detail. but after a little while he couldn't anymore and he started crying. James put his hands on both of Harry's shoulders and pulled him into a hug. Harry just cried, he was so miserable and embarrassed he didn't know what to do.
James held onto Harry, he had no idea what had really happened and now he had forced Harry into telling him and it made him feel bad but knew it was for the best. They stayed like that for awhile. Harry had stopped crying and was slowly falling asleep in James arms. James looked down at Harry fast asleep. James smiled and held onto Harry not wanting to let go. After a while it started getting dark outside and James was really tired being he hadn't slept much in the last couple weeks. He laid Harry down onto the bed and got up he used his wand and pulled back the covers and set him down again. Then James magically changed Harry into some pajama pants and laid down next to him and pulled the covers around both of them and fell asleep.

The next morning James woke up and looked down to see Harry and saw he was gone. James ran downstairs. He heard the treadmill going and went down another flight of stairs. James saw Harry running at a very fast speed/ James rolled his eyes and went back upstairs. Sirius was sitting at the table,
" Do you live here?" James asked joking
" yup." Sirius said eating breakfast. Two hours later Harry was still running.
"How long has he been running?" Sirius asked
" Well longer then two hours, I'll go get him." James said, just then they heard a "thud" come from downstairs. James got up fast and ran down to the family room Sirius at his heals. They saw Harry lying on his back with his knees up and his hands over his face. James ran over and pressed the stop button on the treadmill and bent down to Harry's level.
"Harry are you alright?" James asked.
" Yeah, yeah I'm fine." Harry stuttered trying to get up. James grabbed his arm and felt Harry shaking but didn't say anything about it.
"Well no more running for the next couple of days, you better go take a shower." James said. Harry started up the stairs and out sight.
" Sirius he was shaking, he needs help." James said.
" Yeah I could tell, he exercises to much for his age." Sirius said.
" Yeah I know." James said and they headed up the stairs.
Harry spent the rest of the day in his room for the most. He only came out for lunch and dinner. James was getting really worried.
The next morning James woke up around 7:30 am and got up to get dressed when his foot hit something. He looked down and smiled. Harry was lying on the floor in juts his pajama pants curled up in a ball. James bent down and picked him up and set him down on his bed and rapped the covers around him. Harry shifted and rolled onto his side with his face in James pillow. James smiled and got dressed before heading downstairs and leaving the door open a crack. Harry didn't wake up all day so around four James went up to see what was wrong. Harry was still fast asleep though.
" Harry?" James asked going over to him.
" Harry wake up." James said . Harry stirred a little and rolled over.
" Harry are you okay? You've been sleeping all day." James asked
" I'm tired." Harry mumbled and rolled back over.
" Why are you so tired?" James asked. Harry shrugged his shoulder to answer he didn't know. James sat there and watched Harry fall back asleep. James sighed and left the room. Sirius was sitting at the table when James got down there.

" Is he still asleep?" Sirius asked. James nodded yes and sat down. Harry woke up for dinner then went running for a half in hour since James had made a time limit then went back up to his room. James and Sirius went to bed dumbfounded about the way Harry was acting. Sirius woke up in the middle of the night and went down to get some water. There was a lamp on in the living room and Sirius saw Harry sitting on the couch watching a movie on TV. He glanced at the clock it read 2:24 am. Sirius went into the kitchen and got some water and went back into the living room. Harry heard someone behind him and jumped when he saw Sirius standing there.
" SIRIUS! You scared me half to death! Don't do that!" Harry shouted a bit louder then he intended too. Sirius smiled
" Sorry, I was just getting some water. What are you doing up anyway? No wonder you sleep all day." Sirius asked
" I'm watching a muggle movie on TV, It's pretty creepy." Harry said.
" What's it called?" Sirius asked
" Thirteen Ghosts, " Harry said.
" Okay, I'm going back up to bed, Don't stay up to long okay?" Sirius said seriously which was weird cause Sirius is barley ever serious.
" Yeah, yeah." Harry said and went back to watching the movie. Sirius rubbed Harry's head before going upstairs. Harry went to bed a hour later.
