Discovering The New Path

Chapter 7 -New Plan Is Set In Motion

Harry landed back in his small old room at pivot drive being greeted with the sound of his aunt petunias shrill voice echoing from downstairs making him realise this was not going to be good.

He looked out of his small bared up window and saw that it was dark compared to the light that was shining through before he left, he was doomed.

Sighing Harry decided that he may as well figure out an excuse to save him from being killed by Uncle Vernon before he would go down and walk himself to his own fate knowing it would be worse if he left it any longer.

Harry finally picked his self-up off of the floor of his room and sat himself down on the edge of his rickety old bed and got to thinking.

It wasn't long before he gave up not finding any excuse that would make his punishment easier and with that, he sighed in resignation knowing that he will not be getting any sleep tonight.

Time skip--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harry groaned as he was thrown through his door landing onto the floor in a heap "that'll teach you boy leaving without permission" the whale said slamming the door shut afterwards.

He waited until he heard the tell-tale sound of the locks clicking shut before even attempting to push his self-off of the hard unforgiving ground.

Harry was Biting back another groan or cry from the pain as he slowly pushed his self-up as he didn't want the whale coming up to teach him another lesson.

After a few minutes of struggling harry had finally pulled his self-up off the ground and started to make his way over to his bed wincing every few seconds as pain continuously pulsed through his body every time he moved any more than an inch.

Once he had finally managed to get his self onto his bed and was laying on his stomach, he contrary to his belief earlier he was out like a light.

Harry woke up the next day determined to go back to Gringotts and work everything out with Griphook if only he wasn't in constant pain "well its not like it had stopped him from doing anything before why stop now" he thought before slowly sitting up.

Once again it took everything in him not to cry out in pain as the lashes on his back pulled and stung making him realise that he probably should of dressed them in one of his old shirts or something to stop them from getting infected.

As he finally got himself into a seating position, he thought it would be best to take stock of his injuries and figure out how bad they are.

So he start to probe and poke at his ribs only feeling 2 broken and a few bruised then he takes stock of the pain radiating from his back and decides that while they hurt like a bitch, they were not infected which came as a relief.

After looking at all of these he decides that they weren't too bad and he could deal with the lashes, bruised and broken ribs and some bruises littered around his body painting him black and blue.

Slowly standing harry started to walk around his room trying to spot the portkey as he didn't remember where he put it down last night.

It took him a second before he saw it laying on the ground in the exact spot, he had landed last night after using it.

Harry groaned realising that he will have to bend down to get the ribbon which would make his back pull irritating the lashes on his back.

Deciding to get it over and done with slowly walked over to the ribbon bent down and picked it up wincing as he does so.

looking down at his clothes harry decided that they would do until his back healed a bit more.

Closing his eyes and whispering treasure ready to go as he didn't undress in any way last night; he was once again whisked off into a mass of swirling colours before landing in front of Gringotts great white doors.
