Love and War

Chapter One

Chapter One

The Beginning

"Boy get out here now and make breakfast!" His uncle Vernon yelled at him as Vernon unlocked the six locks locking Harry into his "Bedroom". When he finally crawled out of his room he was kicked in the stomach by Vernon. Followed by his leg being stepped on by Dudley, and a slap in the face by Petunia before he was finally able to make his family's breakfast. Which was always a fruit salad for his aunt. Fried eggs, bacon, toast, grits, coffee and orange juice for his cousin and uncle. Once he was done with the eggs, bacon, and grits he started cutting up his aunts' fruit for her salad while toasting the bread, fixing the coffee, and poring Dudley's juice.

"Boy, where is our food! And you better not do anything stupid freak!" Vernon yelled. Harry knew it would do him no good to reply to his uncle so he kept his mouth shut and brought their food to the table then stepped back to his corner.

Breakfast went better than Harry could have ever hoped it would. After breakfast Petunia gave Harry his four-page list of his daily chores. "You better get this all done today boy or your uncle won't be too happy with you," Petunia told him as she wishes she didn't have to do the things she does to her nephew, but it can't be helped. At least in two days, he'll be able to get away to the house that I bought him and at least he knows I love him like a mother should. Petunia thought to herself.

Once Harry got all his chores done it was almost one in the morning. He showered then went to bed so he could get up early the next day to fix them their breakfast. Harry went to bed hoping that tomorrow would be better.

The next day Harry got up before anyone else in the house did so he could fix breakfast. By the time he was done with breakfast everyone was up. As his aunt walked by his corner she handed him his chore list for that day. He noticed that his chore list was a lot smaller than normal and he just knew his aunt had something to do with it.

He ran to get started on his chores as his family started to eat. It had just turned noon when he felt this unbearable pain through his whole body but since he was so used to the pain he just worked through it. When his uncle came outside and walked up to him.

"Boy, we are going to leave for a few weeks. I have placed a chore list on the counter of all the things I want to be done by the time we get back and if everything isn't done you better wish you aren't here when we get back." His uncle told him before turning around and walking to his car where Petunia and Dudley were. Harry could see that his aunt looked sad to be leaving him the day before his birthday but he also knew that this time it couldn't be helped. He watched as they left him at the house for god knows how long.

He only had a few chores left for that day so he quickly got the rest done before he started to write a letter to Hermione Granger, Forge(George), Gred(Fred), Bill and Charlie Weasley, Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom. He didn't worry about writing to the rest of the Weasley's as he had learned the truth about them the last school year. He knew that Arthur had nothing do with what his youngest children and wife were doing. He also knew there was also much more he hasn't found out yet but he knows that in the next few hours he would find out. But he didn't know just how much he would find out or if he was even who everyone thought he was.

When he was done writing the letters to his most trusted he felt a whole new level of pain so he wrote a few more letters one to Draco Malfoy, one to Lucius Malfoy, and the last one to Severus Snape, asking them to get to number four Privet drive as fast as they could with as much healing potions as they could carry. He knew that all three of them would come as fast as possible due to their curiosity.  When he finally sent the letters off he looked down and noticed that he was setting in a pool of blood who's he did not know because as far as he knew he had not been hurt. That more he looked at himself he realized that every wound he had accumulated over the past 17 years was opening up. Even his bones were breaking again. When he heard the floo go off he knew his friends were there. He was startled to hear a knock on the front door just as soon. By that time he was seeing black spots clouding his vision. "HELP!" he called out weakly just before he passed out.

No one knows what was going on they came throw the floo like Harry had told them too and he was nowhere to be found. Then there was a knock on the door and when they opened the door both Malfoy's and Snape were there looking shocked. That's when they all heard it a cry for help. They all raced up the stairs to find Harry glowing and in a pool of his own blood look like he went through the worst beating of his life.
"What was he thinking asking us to come here? Well, I know what he was thinking by looking at him but how did he know you two were trustworthy?" Severus asked the two Malfoys who are currently standing next to him. "I have no clue Severus how he knew but he did. Now let us heal him before he dies because I for one don't want him to die." Lucius said in a flat tone but without his usual sneer.

"I think I might know." Said Luna in her dreamy airy voice. "But I'm not sure this is the right time to get into this. Because if he dies the whole Wizarding World is doomed. You are I've seen it. So once you help save my brother I tell you all I can as a thank you of shorts."

"Now why would you do that miss Lovegood? You don't even know us. How do you know we won't turn on the at the first chance we get?" Asked Lucius Malfoy in a confused bewildered tone of voice.

"That will be discussed later as Luna has already stated. Right now we all need you to save our brothers' life seeing as we know nothing of healing at the moment. So if you could, please?" Neville said in almost bone cold kind of tone that only a few in the room knew he was capable of. He would only use that tone when anyone in the pack was hurt or going to do something stupid without fully knowing anything about it.

"Alright, Mr. Longbottom. Now if you could all leave the room so we can work that would be great" Severus said in the same tone as always but he left the sneer off his face.

"Hermione and I will stay and that's not up for debate. So, Forge, Gred take Luna out back. Bill and Charlie if you could go make use some tea that would be great I'll be down in a moment to call someone to make lunch and dinner for our stay here today. Oh, and could you see if them god awful people left anything behind? And you both know what I'm talking so don't ask." Neville said in a tone that left no room argument. He might not be the Alpha of his group but he was the Beta and at the moment he was in charge. So they all left to do as they were told.

Severus, Lucius, and Draco all set to work healing Harry before anything else could be said. They spend most of the afternoon and part of the night healing Harry of all his injuries. By the time they were done they all ate and past out wondering what they were going to learn tomorrow.

Harry's most trusted or as they like to call themselves Harry's Pack ate lunch and dinner with Neville and Hermione. Neither telling them of what was going on with their Alpha but they know that when the time comes they would know what they needed to. Luna was the one who collected all of Harry Gringotts paperwork when it had arrived. By the time they all went to bed that night they were all sleeping around Harry to make sure nothing would happen while they slept. They all know they had a long few weeks ahead of them and wondered what life would hold for them now that everything was changing.
