Abused Harry Potter

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

"Harry......."

"Yeah?" I turned my head to look at her.

"Why were you not on the train?" Her soft voice was full of curiosity.

"Um...... Dumbledore decided that it would be best if didn't ride the train this year." I told her, as I started to eat the delicious food. She nodded, and went back to her own dinner. I took this as a chance to look around, seeing what was new. Nothing had changed much, but it was great to see everybody again. This was one of my favorite nights of the year, it was the night that everything went back to normal. I was back with my family, and this year it consisted of more than just friends.

By the time dinner was done, I was exhausted. All I wanted to do was lay down, in my own bed. Dad had told me that if I wanted I could still sleep in our chambers, warning me to just make sure no one followed me there. I bid Ron and Hermione goodnight while I got up to walk out of the noisy, and lively room.

I started taking the familiar twists and turns, on my way down to my room.

"And where do you think your going, Potter?" I looked up just in time to stop myself from running into Draco and his sidekicks.

"I don't think it's any of your business, Malfoy." I sneered back at him, while I watched him take a defensive stance.

"And I think that it is, seeing that you're down here."

"I was going to ask Professor Snape a question, if you must know."

"Oh did Potter turn into a teacher's pet over the summer?"

"And did you turn into an even bigger prat?" I shout back at him, while holding my ground.

"Oh wait, I know, you just need to annoy other people to make up for your non-existent personality." I said as I looked him dead in the eyes.

"Just you wait Potter, you won't be talking like that soon!"

"That's nice, now if you would excuse me, I have better things to do than listen to you talk." I shoved past him to continue my way down the hallway. I didn't hear what spell he whispered, but the next thing I knew I was slammed up against the cold stone wall. My head hit the wall with a hard thud, everything turned black.

Snape's POV

I was on my way down to my personal quarters when I heard voices around the corner, I stopped to see what was going on. I heard the last bit of the conversation, then the soft steps as the person walked away. I turned and rounded the corner, only to see Draco send a spell towards Harry. I saw Harry slammed against the wall, and heard his head thud hard against the cold stone wall. Then he fell to the floor in a heap.

"Mr. Malfoy, to the Headmaster's office now!" He turned with a look of disbelief on his face.

"But-"

"No buts, I said now!" I almost yelled. His face turned pasty white, as he all but ran off.

"Harry!" I called as I rushed over to him. His eyes fluttered open, to reveal his emerald green eyes. The same color was his mother, even after his real appearance was revealed he still had his mother's eyes.

"Wha..... what happened?" His voice was soft, and uncertain.

"You were thrown into the wall, you hit your head." I told him as I searched the back of his head for a bump.

"Oh yah...... Malfoy, where did he go?"

"Headmaster's office, are you okay?" I asked as I gently prodded the rapidly growing lump. He looked up at me as his answer came.

"Yeah, my head just hurts." I gently helped him stand up, and helped him walk the rest of the way to our chambers.

"You don't have a concussion, but you have a horrible lump. You might have a headache for the next couple of days." Harry just nodded his head, as I helped him sit on the couch. I gave him a headache relieving potion, and made sure he was asleep in his own bed before I headed up to the Headmaster's office.

When I entered the office, I was surprised to see only Albus in the room.

"Where is Draco?" I asked him. Yes I was furious at what he did, but he was still my godson.

"I sent him back to his common room."

"And what did you give him as a punishment?"

"I.........
