Hope Has Returned Chapter 49 (Harry's POV)Rating: PG13

After my 'day of secrets' as my 'family' called it we went to St. Mungo's to help me out. I sat in a dark room with lots of Healers.
"Okay Harry we first need to know how much you weigh to determine what type of disrobed you have" a Healer said standing next to the scale. I stood at its base and refused to get on.
"Can we have Ginevra please" one called out into the hallway. Ginny was taking this week off of school to help with me. Still only the Weasleys, Hermione, Mcgonagal, Hagrid, and I know what is up with me.
"Harry step on it" she said pushing me forward. I stood on it to hear a lot of gasps and lots of scribbling. I looked at the scale and it read '46lbs'. I stepped off as soon as I read it.
"Anorexia" a Healer said. He then gave Molly instructions to make me eat and stay with her in till I weigh at least 100lbs. After that I went to the Burrow.
"Harry you can sleep in Ginny's room when she goes back to Hogwarts tomorrow" Molly said still shocked at my weight.
"K" I said sitting down.
"Okay Harry you know how I feel about one word but one LETTER!" Ginny said slapping me.
"Fine 'Okay'" I said with a smile.

(Ginny's POV)

The day pasted and Harry was sticking to eating and throwing up. I have to go back to Hogwarts today though.
"Hey Gin guess who is your escort to Hogwarts!" Harry said knocking on my door.
"Hmmm you?" I said.
"Yep!" he said excited. We flooed to Hogwarts and walked into the Great Hall because it was dinner time on a Monday.
"HARRY!" Hagrid yelled and pulled him into a gentle hug. Hagrid walked back to the staff table and Harry turned to leave.
"Harry m'boy stay have dinner with us!" Professor Slughorn yelled with his booming voice. Harry then went pale.
"I-" he started but a Slytherin in my year yelled over to him.
"WHY IS POTTER WEARING HIS COUSIN'S CLOTHES?" He yelled with a sneer. The Slytherin table laughed and Harry turned on them.
"Harry-" I started but he put up a hand to shush me.
"OH I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW BUT I'M ANOREXIC YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Harry yelled through the hall and ran out of the school to the gate. The whole room grew quiet taking in what he yelled. The Slytherin he yelled at looked hurt.
"What does he mean when he said he was 'anorexic'?" a first year Ravenclaw asked Mcgonagal.
"It means he has anorexia" she said pale.
"And what's that?" the first year asked again. Ugh Ravenclaws have to know everything.
"It means he is very under weight and can't eat properly without throwing it up" Mcgonagal said very very pale now.
"I'll go get him" I said walking out being followed by the whole school. Harry was sitting with his back against the gate with his knees to his chest smoking. All the teachers gasped seeing the 'Chosen One' like this. He had tears running down his face.
"Accio cigarettes Accio lighter" Hagrid said pointing his umbrella at Harry. The cigarette flew from his mouth and a pack from his pocket and the lighter flew from his hand.
"Your killing yourself Harry!" Slughorn said in shock.
"I know sorry" Harry said raising his hands over his head in surrender but he made a bad choice. His sleeves slipped down and his cuts showed.
"HARRY!" the school yelled.
"You didn't see anything!" he said running through the gate and he dissaperated once outside of the school grounds.
"Ginny did you know about all this!" Slughorn asked. I nodded staring at the spot were Harry vanished from.
"Poor Harry" Professor Qwerty said shaking his head.
"Yes you are exactly right" I said crying quietly.

(Harry's POV)

I dissaperated from there as fast as I could. I stomped through the Burrow and ran to Ginny's room. I slammed the door and locked it then put a bookshelf in front of it so no one could get in.
"Harry what happened!" Hermione called through the door.
"Stupid god damn Slytherins!" I called back.
"What did they do?" Ron asked concerned.
"One asked why I was wearing Dudley's clothes!" I yelled back through the door. These are my clothes not Dudley's.
"And what did you do?" Hermione asked sighing.
"I flipped out called him a 'son of a bitch' might of yelled my condition through the school as I was yelling at him then I ran outta there and started smoking by the gate then Hagrid took my cigarettes and lighter. I then apperated here" I said crying quietly.
"HARRY YOU CANNOT DO THAT!" Molly yelled.
"I know but he was mean and he got all the Slytherins laughing at me!" I yelled back.
"Let's go back downstairs he isn't budging" Ron said to his mother. I opened the door and stomped downstairs. I made a quick sandwich, ate it, threw it up, and stomped back into Ginny's room. I put back the book shelf back in front of the door and collapsed onto her bed.
"Harry" Draco said knocking on the door.
"What" I called back wondering why he came here.
"Are you okay?" he asked me.
"No" I said and started crying hard. Draco opened the door, moved the book shelf, and sat down next to me.
"I know that Slytherins totally suck. I was one." He said patting my shoulder.
"I know they SUCK! I HATE THEM! But not you you're nice." I said slamming a pillow onto my lap. He got up to leave me in my tantrum. Hermione then walked in and hugged me. I stopped slamming the pillow and looked up at her.
"Harry someone is here for you" she said in a soothing voice.
"Okay" I said walking downstairs to see a therapist.
"Hello Harry I'm Mr. Picaro and I'm a therapist" he said putting out his hand for me to shake put I didn't take it.
"Um hi" I said baking up.
"I'm here to help you with your thoughts on dying" he said thrusting his hand toward me forcefully. I noticed that it was his left and there was a tattoo on it. I yanked up his sleeve to see a dark mark on it.
"Sorry I mix well with Death Eaters" I said then punched him in the face. He fell to the floor.
"Harry I'm sorry we didn't know he was a Death Eater we thought he could help you!" Hermione said with a pleading tone. The Weasleys were behind her shocked.
"Harry sorry!" everyone yelled when I didn't respond. The Death Eater sat up so I kicked his face and he was knocked out. I ran up to Ginny's room and slammed the door yet again. I heard handcuffs being clicked into place downstairs so I started packing my stuff. I heard knocking on the door but I ignored it. I wrote a note saying that I had ran. The door slammed open and I just waved with my suitcase in my hand and apperated to Number 12 Grimmald Place. I went inside my other house and started cleaning.
"Kreacher" I called into space. There was a crack and he came running in.
"What can I be of your help" he said bowing.
"Erm can you clean up the place and make some soup for me?" I asked him.
"Yes" he said with a bow again. I went up to Sirius's room and used spells to take down the posters. I fixed it up and then started on the other rooms. Regulas's room was the hardest. I had to break out the knife that Sirius gave me to open the door. I fixed it up but I kept up the Slytherin hangings. I went into the master bedroom and totally changed the layout.
"Harry you should be a house elf this place is amazing!" Kreacher yelled behind me carrying a tray with a bowl of soup. I ate and threw up then I continued cleaning with Kreacher. The doorbell rang so I went to get it. I had put down the spell that made it untraceable so the neighbors must be surprised to see another house. I looked out the hole to see muggles standing there.
"Muggles can you stay upstairs!" I yelled up.
"Sure!" Kreacher yelled down. I opened the door to see people standing there with a plate.
"Hello welcome to the neighborhood!" the sang together.
"Thank you here come in" I said gesturing in. We talked for a bit about how they were shocked to see another house because there hasn't been one all these years. I said I saw it and couldn't help to buy it. They gave me some cookies and left. I placed the cookies under a glass dome and called for Kreacher.
"Hey Kreacher you can come down now" I yelled up to him. We continued cleaning when there was another knock on the door. I looked out the hole to see the Weasleys standing there looking cross. I opened the door slowly and then saw them smiling.
"We aren't idiots Harry!" George said smiling.
"Here come in I cleaned it up and already had a visit from some muggles" I said pointing to the cookies. Ron ran over to the cookies and ate a few.
"Harry this place is spotless!" Molly said shocked.
"Kreacher and I have been working our asses off" I said sitting down a the clean countertop.
"Where is she?" she asked pointing to where Mrs. Black's portrait was.
"I found a spell to take down pertinent sticking charms when I was cleaning-" I had to take a breath because I still hate the fact that my godfather died "-Sirius's room" I said looking down. I gave them all a tour of the house. I loved the 3 guest rooms because I had a house banner over the beds. When we got to the last room where I left the Slytherin banner over the bed.
"I like the Gryffindor banners a lot-" Ron said but stopped when he saw the Slytherin themed room.
"Why?" he said looking at me.
"For Draco. I'm planning on moving here" I said looking around.
"It's bigger and has more happy memories" I said twirling around in the room.
"Okay when are you going to move?" Molly asked.
"ASAP" I said sitting down on the bed. Draco then ran into the room.
"Hey you guys said to meet here and I like the decor in this room" he said smiling.
"Yes I like it too and I plan on moving here so if you still need a place to stay this room is all yours and it is the biggest of the guest rooms" I said looking around the room.
"I'll be at the realtors to sell the Potter House and then be back here with boxes" I said. I then dissaperated to a realtors' office and sold my house to the first person who wanted it. I packed up my boxes and then went back to my new house with them and all mine and Draco's belongings. I walked into the house to see Kreacher cooking a meal. I placed the boxes down and ate a bit. I threw it up and repeated in till I had a whole helping.
"I'm going to hit the-" I started but I was cut off by knocking on the door.
"Hello Mr. Potter I'm the landlord for this neighborhood and I understand the enchantments that were made on this house. I will come around once a month and collect rent in muggle money and it is a honor to have you living here now" he said bowing.
"Erm thanks and I will pay with muggle money once a month" I said.
"Good day Mr. Potter" and he walked away. I walked back into the room.
"Thank god the landlord is a wizard" I said sitting down.
"Like I was saying I'm heading to bed Draco can you lock the door once everyone leaves?" I asked.
"Sure" he said eating a cookie.
"Goodnight" I said and I fell asleep once my head hit the pillow.
