Harry Potters secret pet (discontinued)

~Helping The Broken Boy~

Third person POV
When Harry fell to the floor Asclepius immediately knew something was wrong. When she crawled out of his pocket and she noticed that Remus shot a spell at Harry. She noted that Harry was unconscious and she needed to protect him. Remus began walking to Harry so she slithered on his chest and began to hiss in a protective way as if warning them to come closer. Remus looked taken back and immediately took a step back. Remus said, "I won't hurt him don't worry I want to help him." Asclepius hissed in a disapproving way. Remus knew she was trying to protect him so he said, "Please we just want to help him" Asclepius knew Harry needed all the help he could get even if he didn't admit it.

Asclepius raised her head so she could look into Remus eyes and she nodded her head then curled into herself on Harry's chest. Remus took this as a good sign and with a flick of his wrist Harry elevated into the air and they began to make their way to Harry's room. They gently set Harry down on his bed and Molly left to go call Madam pomfrey. When she arrived madam pomfrey immidietly went to Harry's side and was about to cast a full body diagnosis to see the damage when she noticed the snake on Harry's chest.

"Can someone remove the snake so I can cast the diagnosis," she said. Asclepius heard her and immediately slithered off Harry and laid beside him with her head raised. Madam Pomfrey was not informed on why she was called so when she casted the diagnosis she was rather confused. It showed that the boy has never had one injury in his life but after caring for his quidditch inquires she knew that wasn't true. Maybe she didn't cast the diagnosis right. She casted it again but the same results occurred. She turned to face everyone with confused expressions she held up the empty diagnosis and said, "it should at least contain his quidditch injuries but nothings on here no injuries since he's been born so do you know if he's using a glamour potion." Everyone exchanged glances then Remus spoke up and said, "we're not sure can you check." With a flick of her want she cast the spell that would reverse the affects of a glamour potion if he was wearing one.

At once the boy paled and many bruises began to appear upon his skin. His body became deathly skinny to where you could see his ribs. And a large bruise the shape of a handprint appeared on his neck. (Pretend that since he wore the glamour his body didn't have time to heal) Upon seeing his face she turned to everyone is shock and it seemed as if everyone reacted the same way. She casted the diagnosis afraid of the results. She assumed the boy was abused so when the diagnosis was completed all the color left her face and silent tears flooded her face. "What happened to this poor boy" "we recently got some forced information and we learnt that these boys guardians have been abusing him," Moody said.

     At that moment Dumbledoor walked through the room because he wanted to know why his healer was called here but at the information he froze. 'No they couldn't mean the Dursley's' he thought. Harry couldn't be abused. Mcgonagall noticed Dumbledoor enter the room and her eyes flashed with anger. "I thought you said he was treated like a prince Albus" At these words everyone turned to the man who put Harry in that household and all of the hatred in the room was lashed on Albus leaving the diagnosis forgot on the floor. Albus didn't attempt to fight for himself this time so he hung his head in shame knowing he deserved every word thrown at him.

     A loud hiss reached everyone's ears and they turned to see the white snake with her head held high in the air and her red eyes could make everyone back down in an instant. She turned her head to Harry then turned back to all the people in the room and let a horrible hiss escape her mouth.

Everyone looked down and noticed that Harry was beginning to shift meaning he was becoming conscious. Pomfrey immediately reached in her bag and pulled out a dreamless sleep potion and she began to massage his throat. After he consumed the potion his shoulders relaxed. Mcgonagall was still furious but she reached for the diagnosis because she wanted to help in anyway she could but what the paper showed was not what she was expecting.

Neglection

     Mcgnagall let a sob escape her and she fell to the floor clutching the paper. Everyone knew she was very protective of her lions and Harry had been abused and she hadn't known. She was supposed to be his head of house yet he never came to her then again it's not an abused child's instinct to seek help. She lifted her hand to her face and began to sob. The diagnosis began to be passed around the room and guilt filled everyone. Madam pomfrey gave Harry potions that contained nutritions which would help with the malnourishment and also a his starvation. She also added salve to the infected areas and cuts. Finally she gave him skele-grown for the incorrectly regrown bones. After she finished Asclepius slithered back on his chest and curled into the space in between Harry's neck. The people in the room surrounded the boy by sitting in chairs besides his bed. No one daring to speak. Finally Sirius ended the silence by saying, "Harry is never going back there bloods wards be dammed" dumbledoor nodded in agreement knowing this was not a request but a statement. Slowly the room was filled with voices discussing the best approach to help the boy. Everyone stayed in the room taking turns to watch over the boy in case he woke up and to repeat applying the salve. Morning came and madam pomfrey said he should wake up anytime. After awhile the boy began to shift and he could feel the weight of Asclepius on his neck so he slowly brought his hand up to the snake and began to stroke her scales. Then those emerald green eyes opened.
