Bloodred

NINE

They sit in the living room for another few hours. Around 12:30pm Molly calls for lunch. They all go to the dining room and sit at the table. Molly and Remus set the food at the table.
"This is for you" Remus says while giving him a bowl of soup.
"Thanks" Harry says.

When they all are done eating Sirius and Remus take Harry, Hermione and Molly upstairs. Harry knows where this is going and tries to go another way, but Hermione takes his hand: "Harry please".
"I can't do this Hermione" he answers.
"Yes you can, do it for me" she says.
Harry sights "Fine, but it's your fault if something goes wrong".
"Okay" Hermione says.

"Can you take your shirt off?" Molly asks when they are in Sirius' room. Harry gets a bit nervous while taking his shirt off.
"Now without the spell" Remus says when he sees a less hurt body then this night.
"Fine" Harry sighs and he mutters a few words to reveal a body full with scars, cuts and bruises, some of the cuts have opened again and are bleeding. Everyone in the room gasps. Harry turns around so they could see his back which was even worse. They can see burns, scars and cuts. The word 'Freak' was carved diagonal over his back.

When Harry sees all their looks and the tears of Mrs Weasley and Hermione it gets to much for him.
"Look, I know this looks bad, but I'm fine so leave it!" Harry almost shouts at them while putting his shirt back on.
"Harry, we all know you aren't fine at all" Sirius tries.
"NO, I'M FINE!" he shouts while tears are forming in his eyes. He runs out to his own room and hears Remus shout his name multiple times but ignores it. He slams the door shut and locks it. Then he begins shouting at the wall: "Why can't they just leave it. I've been trough this for almost fourteen years and look I'm still here, alive. They don't even know how it feels." He punches the wall hard, "All they're going to do now is pity me. I don't want bloody pity." He hits the wall again. "I just want a bloody normal live." He falls to the ground crying hysterically.

When Harry runs out Hermione is the first to follow him. "Please leave him alone for some time" she says while running towards Harry's room. She hears Harry shout and listens carefully. BANG, she gets scared that Harry's going to hurt himself, another bang could be heard. After his last sentence she hears him crying hysterically. "Alohomora" she says quiet and the door unlocks. She runs into the room and rushes towards her best friend. She kneels down next to him and takes him into a big hug.

But she doesn't feel him hug back, all she feels is a crying, broken boy fall into her arms. "Where's the boy who could always make her laugh and feel safe?" she asks herself, but she knows too well that he is gone and that he isn't coming back in the next few weeks. All she could do now is be there for him and make sure he doesn't do something stupid or isolates himself from everyone and everything. They sit like that for the next few hours, Harry crying his eyes out in Hermione's shoulder and Hermione comforting him by hugging him.

After Hermione had left to Harry, Sirius, Remus and Molly are going back to the living room. When going down the stairs they hear two loud bangs and some shouting, they know it's Harry, but they can't hear what he's shouting.

"What were those two bangs?" Fred asks when they come into the living room.
"We had a little problem upstairs" Molly says.
"But it isn't our job to tell you what's going on" Remus says.
"It's Harry, isn't it? -" George asks.
"Is he all right? -" Fred adds.
"Cause it doesn't sound-" George says again.
"Like he is" Fred finishes the sentence.
"Bloody hell. Don't you guys get it? He just misses the attention he got when he was one of the Hogwarts champions" Ron shouts, but they all ignore him.
"Personally I think you can call him broken" Sirius says with much sadness in his voice.
"Sirius!" Molly shouts.
"He has a point Molly" Remus says very sad.
"I know, but it's just hard to believe. He's always been so strong." she says sad.
Fred and George stand up and give their mum a hug.
"He's going to be okay mum" Fred says.
"But how?" Mrs Weasley asks.
"I know he's completely broken right now-" George starts.
"But he'll get trough this, -" Fred adds.
"Like he always does." George finishes.
"I know" Mrs Weasley says.

"Is it okay if we go try and talk to him?" Fred asks looking at Sirius and Remus.
"Maybe, you can go look how he's doing but maybe it's better if you talk to him later today or even tomorrow" Remus answers and Sirius nods after he said that.
"Okay" Fred and George answer at the same time. They go up the stairs and hear someone cry hard, they look at eachother. When they walk to the door of Harry and Ron's room they see Harry crying hard in Hermione's arms.
"We'll talk later to him" Fred says, George nods and they walk further to their own room.
