Harry burst out crying after telling Blaise about his Uncle's beatings. Blaise had inspected each wound carefully scaling the level of severity. He paced the abandoned corridor on the 3rd floor. He was trying to get the frightened and upset boy to calm down. He rocked and hummed while patting the boys hair.

"I sowwy. I sowwy I cwy." Harry said wiping his face.

"Shhh munchkin it's okay. Uncle Vernon isn't going to get you. I'll keep you safe. Shhh you can cry whenever you want. Whenever you need to cry just tell me and I will hold you and comfort you." Blaise said.

After a few more minutes Harry calmed down. "You no tewl. I be 'unisht if you tewl."

Blaise rocked Harry. "I wouldn't tell anyone what you showed me. I promise. But I need to take you to get things to make you feel better. Can I do that?"

Harry nodded in Blaise's shoulder. He yawned and Blaise patted his back.

All the Gryffindor's Harry was 'close' to left the class shortly after Blaise but couldn't find him. Neville started chewing on his lip. Ron was merely acting worried. Ginny was crying crocodile tears. Dean and Seamus were debating. Hermione was pacing with a frown. Then she saw Draco and Pansy. She was about to have it out with them when Blaise walked past the corridor carrying Harry. She marched towards them instead and the rest caught on and followed.

"What do you think you're doing!" Hermione said stopping in front of him.

Harry jumped and started to sob. "Shhh munchkin." Blaise said and turned to Hermione. "I'm taking him to madam Pomfrey. You are welcome to join only... I repeat ONLY if you keep quiet and don't do any sudden things."

Draco walked off ahead with Pansy. Neville nodded and followed Blaise who had carried on walking. Hermione, Dean and Seamus soon followed. Then a reluctant Ron and annoyed Ginny.

They got to the hospital wing rather quickly and madam Pomfrey was a bit perplexed about the group. Blaise walked over to a bed and sat down. Harry clutching to his robes forgetting how tired he was.

"Ma'am can you please give me this list of potions." Blaise handed her the parchment.

She looked it over. "What on earth do you need all of this for?" She asked.

Blaise shrugged. "It's for Harry. I promised I wouldn't tell. But that's what he needs. And if you could please run a diagnostic on his health."

She pulled out her wand and Harry whimpered. "Oh Harry don't worry. She won't hurt you. Remember my promise?" Harry nodded. "Can you repeat it?"

"I safe wif you. You no wet anyone huwt me." Harry said softly eyes blurry from tears.

"Exactly munchkin so do you trust me when I say she won't hurt you?" Blaise brushed Harry's hair out of his face and Harry nodded.

He buried his face in Blaise's chest. If he didn't see he would feel better. Blaise realized this and simply nodded for madam Pomfrey to continue.

"Blaise when is the last time he ate?" Madam Pomfrey asked when she was done.

Blaise shifted Harry. "Harry can you tell me when last you ate before today?"

By this time Draco and Pansy had brought Snape and Mcgonagall to the room as well. They all sat in silence waiting for Harry to speak. Harry pulled Blaise down to whisper in his ear. Blaise shook his head.

"For everyone to hear munchkin." He said.

Harry looked around then at Blaise. "Uncwe Vewnon say I no eat unwess I eawn it."

Blaise raised an eyebrow. "You didn't answer my question Harry."

"Twee weeks go."

Blaise's eyes widened. "What!?"

Harry flinched. "I sowwy. I sowwy. Pwease no 'unish."

Blaise pulled Harry against him. "Shhh I'm sorry. Shhh munchkin it's okay I was just surprised. Please calm down. I'm sorry baby boy. Shhh."

When Harry calmed down Blaise turned to madam Pomfrey. "He had three mouth fulls this morning that I fed him. He couldn't eat more."

Harry looked at Blaise. "I in twouble?"

"No munchkin you're not in trouble. Can you drink this for me. Remember I said I was getting you things that will make you better."

By this time Professor Dumbledore and Professor Slughorn had arrived. They stopped and watched.

"I believe we should send him back. For protection if word gets out." Dumbledore said. "The Dursley's won't mind." There was an annoying twinkle in his eyes.

Harry started crying. He couldn't stop he just cried. Blaise instinctively tried to calm him. It wasn't working this time. Harry wouldn't calm down.

"They aren't taking you away from me munchkin. I promised remember." Blaise said staring down Dumbledore who was still smiling. "Harry please it breaks my heart to see you crying. You're going to stay with me. Please. It will be okay."

Harry started to hiccup. "I no weave you pwease."

Dumbledore chuckled and moved to take Harry from Blaise. His hand wrapped around Harry's arm. Then the wizard was thrown back. The silence broken by a thundering sound. Snape eyed Harry and Blaise partly amused. Madam Pomfrey and Professor Mcgonagall went to put the unconscious headmaster on a bed. Pansy was shocked. Draco was smirking.

Blaise looked at everyone. "It wasn't me I swear."

A swirl of magic surrounded Harry and Blaise. Harry was balling his eyes out again. He clutched onto Blaise for dear life. His magic was going out of control. Blaise stood and walked away from the rest. He started pacing and rocking Harry, humming in his ear. Finally the exhaustion got to Harry and he fell asleep. Blaise walked back to the group. And straight to madam Pomfey.

"I'll take those positions with me. And I'll come see you when he's awake." He said then turned to Draco. "I'll be in that place if you need me. Make sure not to be followed. I will see you at lunch."

"No problem Blaise. See you later. Take care of him." Draco waved him off.

He turned on the rest casting an immobilizing spell on all of them. Blaise left and after 5 minutes Draco released the spell. He put his wand away.

"Where is he taking Harry?!" The red heads yelled.

Draco shrugged. "Somewhere safe. Any of you know why Harry is acting like that?"

Ron snorted. "The saviour wants attention as usual."

"He needs to be taken care of by a female." Ginny rolled her eyes at Ron.

Neville was so soft they all almost missed it. "He was abused, beaten and treated worse than a house elf by his muggle family."

Pansy frowned. "How do you know that. He's the saviour. Of course he was treated like..."

Neville looked at her with a frown then turned to madam Pomfrey. "Blaise asked for some healing solve right. A pain relief. And also some burn solve. Perhaps something to heal old scars."

Madam Pomfrey looked wide eyed. "How did you know? I took all the labels off."

Neville sighed. "I've been nagging Harry for years to come to you. In second year I walked in while he was changing. His back was covered in scars. He made me promise not to tell anyone. He allowed me to see his memory of age 5 when his Uncle beat him unconscious for a week. It's the only memory I saw and he said that wasn't even the worst. Please I never told you any of this. If Harry finds out. I don't know when the beatings started but Harry was never allowed to do anything. If he spoke he would get hit. If he was seen out of his cupboard and they didn't call him he would get hit. I think there was more to it than that but I never got him to explain. It seems Blaise is succeeding with that a little. That could also just be his mind set at whatever age he is." Neville heaved a sigh.

"Why didn't he tell me?" Hermione yelled. "Why didn't he tell Dumbledore!"

Neville looked at her sadly and then rest, including the three Professors, who were looking for an answer. "He did tell Dumbledore. In second year. I took him there myself. Dumbledore said they were just teaching him how to behave. That he was supposed to be raised that way. I overheard the conversation. I can show it to you all if you like. I mean I didn't believe it myself. Harry said that was the same thing he was told in first year. And if Blaise is going to look after him then I'm more than happy to allow it. I'll even hex people to keep him safe."
