A.N.: We changed the twins to Percy because we couldn't make them bad.

Vernon continued to stare at the note for a few minutes and as he did he was thinking of how to respond to Dumbledore. He then had an idea and went over to his desk and wrote the following letter,

Dear Professor Dumbledore,

Harry is currently unconscious. He is covered in welts, bruises, and blood. He also has the word 'stupid' carved into his back. He will probably be out for a couple of days. Therefore you coming to visit and talk with him at this point would be pointless. I will let you know when he wakes up if he wakes up. I am also leaving to visit my parents tomorrow after I get off work and will be gone for the weekend. Harry will be left some food and he will be just fine. He will not be able to do anything or escape. He will get a good beating as soon as I get home. I guarantee it!

Sincerely,

V. Dursley

Vernon placed the letter in an envelope and sent it of off with an owl. He breathed a sigh of relief. He then finished his dinner, cleaned up the kitchen, and went upstairs to bed. As he lay in bed Vernon wondered where his nephew could have gotten off too. After about 30 minutes, Vernon fell asleep.

On the other side of London, Harry was tossing and turning in a lot of pain. Sirius was trying very hard to keep Harry calm and he was also trying to stay calm for his godson. The sun was coming up and Harry's wrist was almost healed and this is when Sirius noticed blood on the sheets.

"Sev there is blood on the sheets."

"Of course there is blood on the sheets. Harry was covered in blood when he got here yesterday and he lost a lot of blood during the surgery yesterday. It's okay."

"I know that but there is fresh blood on the sheets." Severus walked back over to the bed from his desk. He got to the bed and saw what Sirius was talking about.

"His back is bleeding. I need you to help me roll him over." Severus and Sirius then rolled Harry over onto his stomach. Severus immediately found the sources of the bleeding. A few of the cuts on Harry's back had popped open. Severus quickly grabbed some gauze and began to clean up the blood. After a few minutes the bleeding stopped, Severus then stitched up the cuts. Harry began to stir. Severus and Sirius rolled Harry onto his back. Harry opened it eyes, and looked at Sirius and smiled. Then Harry said,

"Ow!"

"How are you feeling?"

"Fine" Severus looked at Harry. Harry whimpered and said,

"My wrist still hurts and my back hurts."

"Your wrist will be a little sore for a few days. Several of the cuts on your back popped open and I had to stitch them back up." Remus and Tonks walked into Severus' room. Remus saw that Harry was awake he walked over to the bed got down on his knees and looked at Harry and said,

"Hey buddy. How are you feeling?" Harry smiled at Remus and said,

"Other than my wrist and my back being sore I am good." Remus smiled and then turned to face the other people in the room and asked,

"Is anyone other than me hungry?" Everyone but Harry nodded in argument. Tonks looked at Harry and said,

"Harry do you want something to eat?" Harry shook his head no. He knew better than to ask for food, accept food, or acknowledge that he was hungry. That would get him beaten. So Harry did what he normally did, opt out of food. Tonks looked at him and said,

"Harry you can eat it's okay." Harry just looked down at his hands. Remus took Harry's hand and said,

"Harry when was the last time you ate?" Harry thought for a few minutes and then said,
