Chapter 32: Healing Harry
She uncorked both vials and poured both of them in at the same time. Harry started choking so she rubbed his throat to allow the potion to go down. She sat back as she needed to give the potions time to work before she could do anything else. She talked to him because she felt it calmed her and comforted him.
"Those potions were to counteract the poison that was on the trident. It has a magic inhibiter that was not allowing your magic to repair what it could. I'm going to be doing a lot of things to you baby but I will do everything I can to put you back together."
She waited about ten minutes and then and a brown bottle flew into it. She levitated Harry up for a second as she laid a towel underneath him. When he was settled again, she rolled him on his side and began pouring the liquid from the brown bottle over the wound. When his body reacted to what she was doing, she softly said "Good old muggle hydrogen peroxide Harry. It works as good as a wand and doesn't interfere with the potions."
She took out her wand after the wound stopped foaming and sprayed water on it to rinse it clean. She repeated this five more times before the infection had been cleaned enough that the wound stopped bubbling under the effects of the peroxide.
After the last rinsing, she saw that the wound was bleeding normally and started working to correct that problem. The damage was severe and during the attack, Harry had lost most of the muscle on that side of his chest along with his nipple and on his back, the shoulder blade was so damaged that she thought it best to vanish it and start over but that would have to wait for now.
It took her longer than expected to stop the bleeding but she soon had a salve patch in place that would allow new skin to grow quickly. If things went right, she should be able to rebuild his muscles but she would need something stronger than what she brought with her. As she examined him closer, she realized that the loss of the nipple was probably permanent which wouldn't be as tragic for him as it would have been for a girl.
There would also be a permanent jagged scar where the teeth bit down and tore. If that was the worst of it, she thought they would both find the results acceptable. She wrapped a clean bandage around his torso and then forced a blood replenishing potion down his throat.
Knowing he had been without food for at least three days, she pulled out a nutrient potion and forced it down his throat as well. She looked at her watch and realized that she had been working on him for almost four hours and she could feel it. She smiled down at her charge and said "You know this is the easiest time I've ever had in giving you potions. I usually have to either chase you down or brow beat you into submission."
She looked down at the leg and noticed the darkened color had started fading but that wasn't good enough and those wounds were still left to be dealt with. Dobby appeared and handed her a glass of water. She thanked him and continued to work on Harry. It took her another three hours to be satisfied with the wound on his leg.
As she examined it, it was obvious to her that if left uncorrected, the wounds would cause Harry problems for the rest of his life. She then did something she only did on rare occasions. She pulled out a scalpel and began to cut the damaged tissue out of his leg. She was amazed that he didn't move during the whole thing but she could see his eyes squeezed tightly shut. She softly said "It won't be much longer Harry. I'm almost done."
Once she was finished cutting, she poured a potion directly into the wounds. She said "This is a potion of my own creation. It'll work to repair the damage and hopefully give you full use of your leg. If it doesn't work then we will come up with other options. I can't have you not coming to see me because you can't ride your broom."
She worked on the leg for a bit longer before she wrapped it up in a bandage. When she was finished, she looked at her watch again and sighed. "I haven't had to work on someone that long in quite a while. We're done for now Harry but I promise you we will talk later about you not letting me help you in the first place. If your little friend had not came and got me, you would have been dead within two days. I won't have that ever again so you're going to explain everything to me so that I can help."
Dobby appeared in the room and led Poppy into the dining area where he had prepared a meal for her. "Dobby thanks you for helping Harry. Dobby sorry Dobby couldn't do better."
"You did what you needed to do Dobby and then you did an even braver thing by going against Harry's wishes and bringing me here. I want to thank you for doing that. I…I wasn't sleeping from worry for him."
"Dobby prepared a room for Nurse Poppy so she could stay close by. Dobby watch Harry while Nurse Poppy rests."
She ate her meal and then went to clean up. Once she was ready for bed, she checked Harry one last time and went to lie down for the night.
