A/N Well, after little over two days I have almost 800 hits, only six reviews...That makes me a little sad.

Kat- When writing the last chapter I too cried a little when I was writing it and reviewing it.

outlawgal- I'm glad that you enjoy the story so far. I have a feeling that you will enjoy the creature that I make Harry.

Final part of the note: I will post the next part sometime next week. I am counting on you guys and my wonderful beta Mika, to keep my muse satisfied.
On with the story!!
Snape looked at Harry like the boy had grown two heads before sneering and leaving the room. Moments later Remus burst through the door, "Thank Merlin. Harry how are you feeling?"
Harry looked up at Remus and sighed, "I feel fine. What was Snape doing here?"
Remus took the seat that Snape was sitting in just moments before and took Harry's hand into his giving it a firm squeeze, "Severus was here to help as you were healing. Between him, myself, and Poppy you are going to be alright."
Harry nodded and gave Remus's hand a squeeze back, "Can you help me to the loo?"
Remus chuckled and nodded, "Sure thing." He pulled the blankets back from Harry, sliding his arm behind the young man's back and helped him sit up.
Harry looked down at his legs then back up at Remus. He took a shaky breath as he tried to move his legs off the bed, "Re-Remus...I can't feel my legs." Harry looked at Remus as his eyes filled with tears, pulling the man close to him and burying his face in the man's chest, "Why can't I feel my legs?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remus held onto Harry as the young man cried, his hand making circles on the younger man's back, "Your uncle damaged your spinal cord. Poppy wanted to wait until you were out of the coma before we tried to heal it." The werewolf picked up Harry and carried him to the loo, "Would you like me to help you?" Harry looked up at Remus before dropping his head and nodding. Remus smiled sadly as he helped Harry and held him to keep him steady, "Pup, it will be alright. Would you like to go down stairs and maybe sit in the kitchen? Maybe we can get Ron and Hermione to come over and visit."
At the mention of his two friends Harry shook his head, "No. I don't want them to see me like this. I would like to go to the kitchen, maybe get something to eat."
Remus nodded as he helped Harry finish up and carried him back to the bedroom, "Let's just get you dressed first." Harry nodded as Remus grabbed a pair of jeans, a shirt, socks, and a pair of Harry's shoes. He made quick work of dressing the young man before picking him up and carrying him down the stairs to the kitchen.
As they entered the kitchen Harry was greeted to the sight of Snape, McGonagall, Dumbledore, and Madame Pomfrey all seated around the table talking quietly. As soon as Harry came into view in the arms of Remus, the talking stopped. Harry groaned softly, "When ever people stop talking when people walk into a room it is generally known to the person who walks in the room that they are the object of the conversation." Remus chuckled and gently set Harry down in one of the chairs and pulled it over closer to the table. Harry nodded to Madame Pomfrey, 'Professors, Madame Pomfrey." He greeted them all and sat back in the chair, "Kreacher."
The old elf popped up next to Harry, "Yes master?"
Harry smiled at the elf, "Can you get me some toast and pumpkin juice. If it's not too much trouble."
Kreacher nodded and bowed before Harry, snapping his fingers as the food appeared on the table in front of Harry. He picked up a piece of toast and started to nibble on it. He looked up to see the shocked expressions on every face around the table. He swallowed what food was in his mouth, "What?"
Dumbledore chuckled as his eyes held a twinkle, "Harry it seems that Kreacher has no problem accepting you as his master."
Harry sighed and nodded, "If you treat them with respect they return the respect and will give their lives if necessary to achieve their master's wish." He finished his toast and sipped his pumpkin juice, "So when are we going to address the elephant in the room. I know you are all thinking about it so lets just say it. What are my chances of being able to walk again?" He took his time and looked at everyone around the table except for Remus. The man was already willing to help him with everything that he could need.
Madame Pomfrey took a deep breath, "I am not qualified to do this but Healer Cole at St. Mungos specializes in healing the spine. I have requested that he come and do the surgery at Hogwarts so you can have twenty-four hour care. After the surgery you will have a specialized set of braces that will aid you in walking. They will be glamored if they are still needed when school starts back up. It is all up to you when you wish to set up the surgery."
Harry closed his eyes and sat back against the chair taking a deep breath, pinching the bridge of his nose. As he calmed down and opened his eyes and looked over at Madame Pomfrey, "Schedule it for as soon as possible. Tell him I will double the pay if it can be done tonight." He looked over at Snape, "May I speak with Professor Snape alone for a moment?"
Professors McGonagall and Dumbledore both looked at each other for a brief moment before nodding. Remus bent down and whispered to Harry, "Don't do anything foolish." Madame Pomfrey smiled and nodded as she made her way around the table to floo call Healer Cole, with Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Remus falling in step behind her.
Harry watched them leave and heard the door click closed. He took a deep breath before turning to look Snape in the eyes, "I'm sorry. My words over the years have been cruel and unjust. I have looked into your pensive, without permission and saw that you were only speaking the truth to me about my father." He took a sip of his pumpkin juice before continuing, "As for my words when I woke, they were spoken out of fear. I may be the son of James Potter, but you must have seen some truths yourself. I do not ask for an apology from you. I know that everything you have done every year and every day I was in Hogwarts kept me grounded and kept me from becoming my father. Thank you." Harry pushed down on the arms of the chairs, lifting himself up to resettle himself. He looked over to the side of the chair and nodded seeing that Kreacher was still there, "Kreacher please ask Remus if he wouldn't mind helping me to the library.
Snape looked taken aback at Harry's words. Truly he was not his father, now that he was shown that Harry was able to see his mistakes and take up his own responsibility for his actions. He nodded to Harry, "I accept your apology Potter. You will also not have to fear me attacking you in any way for your temporary disability, but if you are still like this when the term begins I will not make any allowances. You will be on time and I expect better than what you have given in the past in class."
Harry smiled at Snape's words, "That's all I ask Sir."
Remus came down the stairs carefully, "Everything alright? No one needs Poppy to fix them up?"
Harry chuckled, "No Remus we are fine. Professor Snape and I just decided to come to an understanding about our past grievances." He looked up from his seat as the werewolf looked between the two of them, "Alright lets get me to the library and to some books before I start going mad from looking at the walls and counting the tiles." He smiled at Remus and lifted his arm up to wrap it around the werewolf's neck, "Oh and Professor, In my trunk are my potions books from the last couple years. If you have a chance go through them, you might be surprised." Harry winced as he was pulled into Remus's arms and carried from the room.
Remus left Harry to his own devices in the library before going and pulling Harry's potions books. He opened the first one and stared as majority of the pages were filled with different instructions and different ingredient levels. He shook his head and carried them down to Snape, "Severus, it looks like Harry has changed all of the potions in his books and even made suggestions as to how the ingredients should be processed. I didn't know that he was that interested in potions." He handed the books to Snape and sat down across from the man, "You said that he never applies himself in the class. Perhaps there is more to the class than Harry not applying himself. Perhaps some of your snakes are throwing things into his cauldron when you are across the room?"
Snape sneer at the accusation against his house, "I have never noticed any of the Slytherins tossing ingredients into their classmate's cauldron. They wouldn't unless they were trying to kill or seriously injure their classmates."
Madame Pomfrey bustled down the stairs looking for Harry, "Where's Harry? Healer Cole is wanting to do the operation tonight. One of you grab his things and the other grab him, we will portkey directly into the infirmary." Reaching into her pocket she pulled out a small vial, "Just say healing and the portkey will activate. I have to go and make preparations. Albus and Minerva have already left." She pulled a similar vial out of her pocket and disappeared from the home.
Remus looked at Snape, "I'll go and get Harry can you get his trunk?" Remus left the room to tell Harry the news after receiving a nod from Snape. He opened the door to the library, "Well pup, looks like we are going to Hogwarts tonight. Healer Cole said he wanted to do the operation as soon as possible. Don't worry about your things, Severus is taking care of them. I am sure that he would like to have a long chat with you after the operation about your potions books. Why didn't you tell anyone that you were so interested in them?"
Harry shrugged his shoulders, "Who would listen to me when I tell them I just want to play with potions and have nothing to do with Defense? Or even if I just wanted to get a mastery in Transfiguration along with potions? That is not what the world wants of me. Remus I am happiest in the room of requirement around a cauldron or out late at night on the grounds running free as my animagus. Professor McGonagall doesn't even know that I am an animagi. It was supposed to be a surprise for you." Harry straightened himself on the sofa and looked at Remus, "Can we please just go? I promise that we will talk more after."
Remus nodded, "Alright Harry, but I am holding you to that." He carefully picked up Harry and sighed as he took him down the stairs to a waiting Snape. Harry nodded to the professor and held tight to Remus as the portkey was activated.
They landed in the middle of the infirmary Harry held tightly in Remus's arms, "Alright pup?"
Harry nodded as his face had turned slightly green, "Never liked portkeys. they make me feel sick."
Madame Pomfrey came over to them, "Place him in the bed Healer Cole is getting everything ready." She pointed out the bed that Harry always occupied whenever he was in the ward. Harry groaned at the sight of the bed, "None of that now young man. This is going to take time and you should be comfortable with something familiar." She nodded to Remus and left them too it.
The werewolf set Harry on the bed and smiled, "I'll be here when it's done." He turned and left the room trying to calm himself for Harry's sake and not his own.
After a few moments after Remus left he was left alone. He looked down at his legs and sighed mumbling to himself, "Not only are you a freak but now you are a handicapped freak." He hung his head and took a deep breath looking around the room. He slipped off his t-shirt and folded it setting it aside with his glasses. He leaned down to untie is shoes and wasn't paying attention and moved to far forward. A startled yelp came from Harry followed by a heavy thud. He groaned and rolled himself of his back. Snape was on his way over to help Harry when the young man held out his hand to stop him, "I need to do this. What if it doesn't heal?" He pulled his feet to him and pulled off the shoes. Looking up at the bed he grumbled as his hands took the metal bars and pulled himself up onto the bed. He was panting by the time he got up on the bed and looked over at Snape with a nod, "See, I now know that I can do it so it will be easier if I have to continue to do it."
Harry watched Snape leave the infirmary before dropping back against the pillows and sighing. He closed his eyes and must have fallen asleep because he was woken by Madame Pomfrey, "Harry. Healer Cole is here and would like to discuss the operation."
Harry shook his head, "Just do it. If it doesn't work then It doesn't. I am not going into this with the idea that I will be cured as soon as I come out." He sighed and shook his head, "I'm sorry. I'm being rude. I just want it over with."
Madame Pomfrey nodded as a tall man in dark grey robes walked over to the bed, "Good evening Mr. Potter. I am Healer Cole. I am going to be operating on your spinal cord. Now from what Poppy told me that the initial injury was from broken vertebrae?" He watched Harry as the young man looked anywhere but at the healers, "Right. Shall we just get to it?" He nodded and grabbed several vials from inside of his robe and passed them to Harry to drink.
Harry woke to the sun burning his eyelids, grumbling he tried to cover his eyes. His body was locked in place as his eyes snapped open. He spotted Remus in the chair to the side of the bed asleep. Harry smiled and closed his eyes drifting back off to sleep.
A/N2: Please feed the muse.
