Authors note: I do know that how the diagnostic spell isn't usually that descriptive of how the injuries are received and whatnot at least not in anything I've read but for my fic it is.

As Narcissa cast the diagnostic spell I held my breath hoping it wasn't worse than what we could see with a cursory look. Unfortunately my hopes were dashed when a long parchment appeared and started filling with her injuries. I grabbed the parchment and started reading over it:
Broken Rib (Left side 3rd one down)
Dislocated shoulder (Right)
Bruising on her stomach (Indicates someone kicked her)
Bruising on her arms, hands and face (From attempting to protect herself)
Cuts on her face, feet and arms (superficial)
Scarring on her back from old injuries (likely from beatings with a belt of other similar item)
As I read the list aloud Narcissa covered her mouth in horror. As I read the line about the scarring on her back my eyes continued onto the next line but I couldn't bring myself to read it aloud. I reached for the mantle for support I was in utter disbelief with what I was reading. Narcissa stepped toward me and placed her hand on my shoulder
"What is it my love?"
I ran my hand over my face as I steeled myself for what I was going to tell her
"My Love someone has destroyed this poor girls innocence" she gasped "You don't mean!?" I nodded gravely as I placed my hand on her shoulder "We need to get her healed and cleaned up My Love". Narcissa and I got to work giving her the proper potions and healing charms and healed everything that we could. Once she was healed to the best of our ability Narcissa went about casting scourgify on her and her clothes which she altered to the proper size. She used a charm to clean and untangle her hair, by the time we were done caring for her it was almost 2 in the morning. We agreed that we should rest but I didn't want the girl to wake up alone in a strange place so I decided to sleep in my study. As I escorted Narcissa to the stairs she stopped at the doorway and looked back at the girl.
"Lucius, I don't want to return her from where she came...But we can't keep her here My Love" she looked solemnly at me "She's a Muggle child love, she would not be safe here. Not to mention the trouble it would cause you with the ministry should they find out." I looked back at her just as solemnly "I will get her name and speak with the Muggle authorities and find her somewhere safe, it's the least I can do for her." I looked back at the small child sleeping in my study and escorted Narcissa to the stairs and returned to my study to keep watch over the girl should she need anything.
