1 1. The Truth

Harrison sat in his dark room crying from yet another beating from his abusive uncle, Victor Darnly. All of a sudden Victor burst through Harrion's bedroom door. "Oh, just shut up FREAK!" Harrison could only nod and whisper "yes sir". Harrison's bright forest green eyes were red and puffy, his uncle only kicked him once more then stalked out of the room leaving Harrison on the cold and darkened room. While Harrison was trying to stop his head from pounding, he could hear his uncle outside of his room putting up many different locks.

He sighed quietly once, no sound could be heard from the outside of his door. Harrison frantically got up, a little too quick, looking for his wand. The whole room was spinning from the little light of what he could see, he picked up his wand from under his pillow and cast a "Lumos". He looked at himself in the mirror, he had bags from no sleep, he had bruises everywhere and where he didn't his skin was deadly pale, he looked down right awful. He felt how tired he was from just standing so he gently took off his glasses and set them aside, with that he fell into a restless sleep.

Meanwhile at Hallaton..................................

A very angry Salvatore Sacchi was making his way to Dunn's office to discuss some new information he had just informed on by Madam Phoebe Phillips.

Earlier, right before school year ended. Harrison was injured in a Quidditch match Gryffindor vs. Slytherin, Phoebe had nursed him back to health yet again and sent him on his way, but when he was in a coma she did a full body scan and found out some very interesting things about one Harrison James Payne.

Salvatore finally arrived at Dunn's office, he whispered the password "Lemon Drop" before stepping into the office. "Headmaster" Salvatore started "we need to discuss some things right now!" he snapped. "My dear boy, what can I do for you?" Dunn asked as he stared at the Daily Prophet before him. Salvatore only glared before continuing "are you aware of what is happening in Payne's home?" Salvatore asked, trying to be civil. "Salvatore, what is wrong? is Harrisone alright?" Dunn finally looked up with concern lacing his every word. Salvatore could only close his eyes and remember how his father used to beat him. He quickly snapped out of it only to stare into blue depths of Albert Dunn's eyes.

"So Phoebe hasn't told you yet? well I was informed just recently that Mr. Payne's household currently at the residents of 4 Privet Drive is unsafe for the child. Albus he's a young boy, a second year at that, he has been abused since he was three years of age......" Salvatore replied sadly. Dunn could only stare back incomplete shock "Salvatore my boy, I'm afraid that I'm aware of this already. It is only safe that he is with fami-" Albert was soon interrupted by Salvatore's uncontrollable temper. "Albert how dare you! He has had way to many near death experiences just in the past two years from his uncle's beatings! If you won't take him out of that damn household I will remove him myself. I am not bluffing. Good evening, Headmaster" and with that Salvatore stormed out of Dunn's office, only to leave behind a very shocked blue eyed man.
