Third pov:
Severus Snape maintained his usual cold demeanour as he sat in the inner circle meeting, listening attentively as Tom addressed him about the Potter boy.
"I was conducting my usual rounds, checking on my students' medical records during the yearly examination," Severus began, his voice low and controlled. "When I arrived at the infirmary, I found Poppy under the Imperius Curse, attempting to conceal certain documents. I had to stun her to retrieve them."
Severus paused, handing a copy of Potter's medical records to each member of the circle. The room fell silent as they scanned through the shocking list.
"HARRY'S MEDICAL RECORDS:
1 YEAR:
Small fever
Diaper rash
Made an Horcrux
2 YEAR:
Broken arm
Slight malnourishment
Common cold
3 YEAR:
Broken wrist
Fever
Bruised torso
Hypothermia
Malnourished
4 YEAR:
Broken wrist
Broken arm
Fractured leg
Fever
Malnourishment
Burnt hands
Concussion
And the list continued, each year detailing a litany of injuries and illnesses, painting a harrowing picture of Harry Potter's upbringing.
Tom Riddle, visibly affected despite his usual composure, demanded proof. Severus had anticipated this and provided irrefutable evidence.
The Death Eaters and Tom were stunned into silence by the extent of Harry's suffering. Tom, feeling a pang of guilt, realized he had pursued a boy who sought only love and was being manipulated.
Regaining control of the room, Tom commanded decisively, "Prepare yourselves. We will retrieve the boy."
Turning to Narcissa and Severus, he instructed, "Prepare your medical supplies."
The inner circle, shaken by the revelation, braced themselves for what was to come.
