Tainted Chapter 3

-He�s a
stranger to some,

And a
vision to none-

---30
Seconds from Mars

Hermione
and Hagrid stared at the broken vase.
The flowers that it had held fell, the water already pooling on the
floor. Some petals hovered in the air a
little before they too settled around what was left of the ceramic pieces and
the floor.

There eyes
flicked to each other before they fell back to Harry.

Harry
wasn�t paying attention to anything though.
His eyes were still blank, his slight body lifeless. There was no denying that the sudden violent
burst of magic came from Harry though. Waving his wand, Hagrid frowned when nothing
happened to the vase.

�I had
wanted to wait till he was talkin� again,� Hagrid sighed, not quiet looking at
Hermione, focusing instead on Harry.
Everything came back to Harry.
�Maybe you�re right though, maybe the Order can help him.�

Hermione
looked at Harry, who was staring blankly ahead.
Hagrid urged him to stand, finding a cloak amongst his room. Hermione didn�t know anymore, she just wanted
to get back to Ron before she started mourning her best friend.

There had
to be someone out there who could help Harry.

---

The
Headmistress knew what they would say before they even opened their
mouths. Harry was still missing, and had
been for longer then a month. Those who
could make it had met every few days at the school, swapping stories, keeping
her informed. She, in return, would pass
on information to those who couldn�t make it the day before, or had to leave,
following another blind lead.

The group
was congregated in a class room just off the great hall, their combined magic
making a ward against nosy ears. It
should not be necessary, as Hogwarts was empty.
But none had argued when the wards had first gone up. The times made it hard not to be a little
paranoid about ears listening in.

�I don�t
see how a small boy can fall off the map, especially when the whole world is
looking for him,� Alastor Moody, or Mad Eye, muttered angrily, sinking slowly
into his seat. She knew he had a soft
spot for the boy, and had not stopped looking for him since the Dursley�s house
had gone up in smoke.

�He�s not a
boy anymore, Alastor,� Molly Weasley murmured.
�If he wants to hide, no one will find Harry Potter.� She spoke quietly. Everything about Molly Weasley was quite of
late. With the loss of her only daughter
it was to be expected. It was only the
love and support of her family that kept her out of bed every morning. And finding little Harry Potter.

From beside
her Arthur Weasley nodded. �He�s a
resourceful Wizard, he�ll find his way, I�m sure of it.� Charlie and Ron Weasley sat silently next to
their parents, both temporary members of the order.

�The
Prophet isn�t helping any,� Nymphadora Tonks, or Tonks, growled, tossing the
paper to the table between them. Her
normally lively hair was dirty, clinging in chunks around her young face. Her eyes didn�t hold the same spark they
would normally and she looked like much of the rest of the table, exhausted
beyond measure. �Is there anything we can do about them, Headmistress? They�re driving Harry further from us.�

�Unfortunately
there�s nothing I can do,� Minerva McGonagall sighed, �It seems the Minister is
hoping to draw Harry out by letting the public know of his disappearance every
day.� Her lips were thin. �It might be hampering our search, but we have
to keep working around it.�

�The man�s
hoping on the public turning the boy in,� Moody grumbled, �fat lot of good it
will do him if some Death Eater gets a hold of him-�

�Ahem?�

All eyes
turned to the doorway as Hagrid stood there, Hermione by his side. The Groundsmen hadn�t left his hut for days,
his appearance haggard and distraught.
Hermione didn�t look much better, like she was ready to fall to pieces.

Ron moved,
halfway between sitting and standing, a question hovering on his lips. However, Hermione turned slightly, coaxing a
Harry potter out from beneath Hagrid�s coat.

�I�ve found
somethin� you all might be interested in,� Hagrid said quietly.

Stunned
silence met Hagrid�s words. Then it was
like an explosion happened in the room.
They were all standing, falling over themselves to get to Harry. Molly reached him first, pulling him into her
arms, clutching him fiercely to her as he hung limply in her arms. Arthur held his wife a little, smiling hugely
at Charlie who returned the grin. Tonks
bounced delightedly on the balls of her feet and Moody hobbled over, a smile
breaking across his scarred face.
Minerva sagged into her seat, relief flooding her tired face. The boy had been found.

Hagrid�s
face was hard, a few sad tears leaking out, and Hermione clung to his arm,
sobbing desperately.

�Why isn�t
he moving?� Ron stood on the outskirts,
his voice cracking over his mother�s small cries. The smile on Moody�s face stopped and he
looked at the boy. �Why isn�t he saying anything?�

�He just
doesn�t,� Hermione whispered, the noise in the room gone. �He�s just a shell. Harry�s not in there anymore.�

Ron stared
at his best friend. Unseeing eyes looked
back at him. Hermione was in his arms in
seconds, the normally calm girl breaking down in his arms. Harry was gone, in a way that was far worse
then just missing.

Hagrid
gently prized Harry free from Molly�s hands, her deathly grip would leave
bruises later.

�Does
anyon� know where Draco Malfoy is bein� kept?�
He flinched a little as one of the windows splintered, thankfully not
shattering. �It�s the only thing that
gets a reactio�.�

�A violent
one at that,� Moody muttered, staring at the window, �perhaps the little rat
knows where our Harry has gone.�

---

�They�ve
found him.�

Tonks looked
just exhausted as the two men when she entered the Shrieking Shack.

Remus Lupin
always looked older then his years after a full moon. He sat in the middle of the old, dreary room,
his scarred face testament of a few nasty fights his other form had gotten
into. His hairy, almost silver as months
of hardship start to take its toll fall into tawny eyes as he looks up at the
young woman. A smile spreads across his
face at her words.

His
companion, however, did not share his blind relief.

�You don�t
look practically happy about finding Harry,� Bill Weasley said. The oldest of the Weasley children was a
little surly after his first full moon as a werewolf. He sat on an old, broken bed, his elbows
resting on his knees. His red hair fell
into his eyes, one was obscured by an awful scar that ran from his brow to just
beneath his chin. There were others, but this was the most prominent.

�There�s
something wrong with him,� Tonks ran her hand over her face as she sat quietly
besides Remus. The smile had left his
face, a hand resting against her shoulder.
She wished she could offer him a calming smile, but right now it just
seemed impossible. �Moody�s tried all
kinds of spells on him, but they all just wash off him. He glowed a little when Moody tried the
Imperius curse on him. It�s like his
body�s there, it can move and breathe, but his soul�s not there anymore.�

Remus�s
hand gripped her shoulder a little tighter, his own breath stopping. He had lost everyone in his life, everyone
who had been important. James and Lily,
Peter, Sirius and Dumbledore. Now he
would loose Harry, bit by bit. Tonks put
her hand over his, her eyes prickling at the pure anguish on his face.

Bill looked
thoughtful. �Was it gold? The glow I mean?�

Tonks
blinked, �yes. Why? Have you seen it
before?�

�In Egypt,�
Bill nodded, �one of the curses in an old tomb was set off. The witch was like that for days.�

Tonks
sighed, �Hagrid says he�s had Harry for two weeks and he hasn�t changed, maybe
it�s a different curse?�

�Maybe,�
Bill sounded doubtful. �She only
returned to herself when her husband came to her. Her eyes site has never returned though, but
she�s been studying the old magic ever since.�

�Well,
Ginny can�t return to Harry,� Tonks whispered and Bill nodded, his eyes
haunted. �He might be lost for a
while. For now, if you two are up for
it, did you want to accompany me too the Ministry? They want me to go get Mr. Malfoy, and I�ll
be damned if I�m getting him by myself.�

�Why would
the Order want anything to do with him?� Remus hissed.

�Because
apparently it�s the only thing Harry reacts too.� She dragged Remus to his feet, looking to
Bill. �You coming?�

�Just let
me Owl Athena first, she might be able to help a little.�

Hermione
and Ron sat in a big chair that Hermione had transfigured in the
Infirmary. Madam Pomfrey had not been
able to find anything physically wrong with Harry, but had coaxed him into a
cot and closed his eyes for him. They
really couldn�t tell if he was sleeping or not, he had not really changed at
all in the last few hours.

Still, they
watched over him. Harry was still their
best friend, even if he didn�t respond to their voices.

�I miss
him,� Hermione whispered into Ron�s neck, practically asleep.

Ron
squeezed her a little tighter, �this is Harry, and he�ll get through this.�

�I still
miss him.�

�Yeah,� Ron
breathed into her hair as she succumb to sleep.
�Me too.�
