That night when Nagini went to meet the boy the dark lord went along with her, he was very surprised to see potter on the floor of the forest unconscious, he wanted to figure out what had happened so he took the boy with him to his manor and called a healer.
Narcissa Malfoy née Black was a very talented and intelligent woman who could survey any situation quickly and understand when to ask questions and when to keep quiet, he had a very understanding relationship with her so he knew that he could trust her in this situation "Narcissa a word" he called her on the floo "yes my lord" she said as she came through the floo in his study, she was usually called for healing after a big raid so she was curious as to why she was called to her lord's study, she set down in front of him eyeing him curiously "I am in a need of your assistance but I expect you to keep quiet about it until further orders" he said "yes my lord" she replied as he made to stand and made his way to the door she followed him out through the manor to his bedroom her eyes widen before regaining her composer to see Harry potter laying covered in injuries on her lords bed.
"I want you to heal him and find out how much damage has been done" he told her making her look at him with a start "my lord with all due respect that is harry potter" pointing at the bed "I am aware of his identity Narsissa I was the one to get him here" she looked at him like he was crazy but started working on the boy, he watch as she started to get more and more angry as she continue healing him, by the time she finished she was furious and turn to him "how could anyone do such a thing to a child" she said making him looking at her weirdly, he have never seen her this furious and worried before even when Lucius has came back covered in blood from his raids and giving him his report as he read the report he himself got angry.
"Five broken ribs, his whole torso and back is covered in multiple cuts and bruises and second degree burns, bones of his arms and Legs are joined in a wrong angle, his hand have a injury of a blood quill" she said angrily "and all this was done by hand I cannot trace any magic signature from any injury except for the blood quill" making him wonder who did it. "I have healed him as much as I could and wrote the potions that he will need to take once he wakes up and put a monitering charm on him to alert me when he wakes up, for now all we can do is wait"she said.
"I expect you to keep this meeting to yourself until my permission, you will not talk about it even to Lucius" the dark lord ordered "certainly my lord" she said before leaving.
"Augustus" Voldemort called as he sit-down on his throne, Rookwood was one of the few death eaters who was living in his manor, "yes, my lord"the man said "I need you to polyjuice as potter and stay at his Muggle house until I tell you to come back and you are not to speak of it with anyone" he could see surprise and confusion on the man's face but he obeyed.
"Little hatchling is awake Tom" comes Nagini's voice as she comes into the throne room. He followed her into his bedroom to see potter sitting up in the middle of the bed curled up in a tight ball rocking back and forth mumbling something under his breath, he moved closer to hear him say "they will kill me, they will kill me" repeatedly. He heard the floo come to life and Narcissa stepped into to his room, as soon as she saw the boy she moved closer to him and pulled him into a hug saying he was alright and nothing will hurt him, after sometime the boy calm down enough to see that he was not alone in the room, as soon as he saw the dark lord the boy reached for his wand only to remember that it was locked in his trunk back home.
"Where am I, and why am I here" the boy asked gathering up his courage, he thought if he was going to die he will not die a coward, "you are in the dark lord's manor Harry, he found you unconscious in the woods and brought you here for me to heal you" Narcissa said in a soothing voice "then why didn't you kill me and be done with it" he asked turning towards the older man "because I promised Nagini I wouldn't" he said truthfully, he didn't know why he explained himself to the boy but the boy always brings out something in him that made him do things he normaly didn't do. Harry looked at him skeptically but nodded.
"Harry dear, can you please tell us who did this to you" Narcissa asked carefully "we have see your medical report and the injuries you have are from physical abuse not spells" and see as the boy shivered "I have my suspicions but I need you to confirm it and if you don't I will kill anyone I suspect" the dark lord says "I can't they will kill me if they find out I told anyone, I shouldn't even be here if they find out I am out of the house without their permission..." the boy trailed of while moving to get up "they wouldn't find anything I already send Rockwood polyjuiced as you " the dark lord said putting the boy back on the bed "you will not be leaving this bed until you tell us everything" the dark lord said in a 'its final' tone "I want to know why you have basilisk venom and Phoenix tears in your blood as well " Narcissa said making the dark lord look at the boy as he sighs in defeat.
