Hidden Horrors

Mr Miller had then tried to get abuse charges to stick to the Dursleys, but Harry already knew that they wouldn't work.

He had told his teacher that somehow no charges ever were really investigated or if somebody came out Vernon always managed to convince them that things were a huge misunderstanding.

On top the people that wanted to help him always vanished and Harry would rather have a teacher at school that could really help him, than have an attempt for charges being pressed stop before it really began and the person to help away.

He rather wanted to have the small visible improvements than trying for the bigger ones that couldn't be achieved anyway.

Mr Miller had after Harry had told him some stories agreed to do things Harry's way as he could remember Ms Burton being transferred after only two months and suspiciously she had gone after treating Harry for injuries Dudley had caused.

Concerning others not noticing or not wanting to notice, the large clothes from Dudley hid much.

In the area of Little Whinging Vernon Dursley was an important man.

Many people worked for Grunnings under him and as long as they could tell themselves that the boy was a delinquent and the Dursleys were only really strict to the boy as he needed it to behave they could ignore the blatantly obvious.

Now Healer Ickings had the same expression on his face as Mr Miller first.

He signalled Professor McGonagall to follow him into a neighbouring room to discuss some thing with her.

Harry was sure he would tell her exactly what needed to be done.

Harry would wait and hope that he really could leave the Dursleys' house.

Healer Ickings closed the door and activated a privacy charm.

"Professor McGonagall, before I tell you what the diagnosis charm told me, I would like to know what you know about Harry's home situation." He asked.

"I know he has been abused in the past. He told me today when we were having a late lunch while I took him for a first visit to Diagon Alley."

" He wanted to get reading material on the magical world before he decided if he accepted his place at Hogwarts. "

"He also has offers from renowned muggle schools including scholarships. He obviously is a very gifted and physically active boy."

" He told me he was offered the scholarships for his talent at football, from what I know its popularity equals that of Quidditch in the wizarding world, and his high grades."

" He was top student of his year in primary school and should already be at secondary school if the Dursleys, his relatives on his mother's side, hadn't refused for him to be moved up a year."

"From what he told me, he was locked in a cupboard without food for periods of time as punishments and before he turned nine and paralysed his uncle in a bout of accidental magic they also punished him physically, he said his uncle beat him with a belt."

"That's one of the reasons I took him here. I want to get him out of there, but without backing from a healer that will be hard to do." She told him.

"I see. Well, your reports correspond with the results of the charm."

That boy was subject to malnutrition until late into his eighth year of life, has had several broken bones, from what the charts say, his magic healed them out of sheer necessity, he has some scars on his back from getting hit with a flexible object, a belt falls into that category, he had two concussions, also healed by his magic, then there are the usual infects, which also his magic took care to heal, which is concerning."

" Normally the body is taking care of that and

building up anti-bodies against

that infect."

" Harry doesn't have many anti-bodies against common germs and viruses in the muggle world and none of the magical world."

" While the magical ones are normal with muggleborn and muggle raised children, they all have gone through those periods and built anti-bodies. "

Which means their bodies can adept to building up immunities in the magical world faster as their bodies know how to do it.

"The results indicate that his magic was trained to keep his body working no matter the circumstances."

"I will have to keep him here for two days to start correcting those problems with potions. I will also prescribe some salves to reduce the scarring on his back."

"I have to inform the Children Services Department of the Ministry as well."

" This will lead to an investigation of his former caregivers and probably prison time for them. But the most pressing issue is that from his scar on his forehead dark magic is still emanating."

" I don't know enough about curse scars, but I have seen the effects of dark magic with aurors that came in for treatment."

"I will include Healer Reggam, our leading expert for treatment of curses and their after-effects, in this case."

"Oh my god, there are still effects from ten years ago? I wouldn't have thought that was possible. Do you need anything I have to get for Mr Potter's stay?" She asked.

"A few changes of clothes, but I would advise you to not get them at his caregivers."

" Just get him some in a muggle shop, there is one only a street away, or if you prefer to buy them in the wizarding world, you can always just apparate to Diagon Alley. "

"He will need a set of pyjamas, some undergarments and a few toiletries." Ickings informed her. "And I will make sure the press doesn't find out about him staying here."

"Thanks, I only informed him today about his history and how his parents died. I don't think he could cope with the circus the Prophet would start if this got out." She gratefully answered.
