tilting his head to the side, his cheek digging into the wood. He closed his eyes and focused on his breathing. He didn't know if Dudley's friends would get here in time. He might drown in his own blood before then, the pretty red spilling onto the floor and forever taunting Vernon that he would never be gone, because he knew how hard bloodstains were to get rid of.

He turned back to his magic. He could feel it rolling in fury behind his barrier. The small traces of magic in the environment were swirling around him also but couldn't do anything for him. If he had perhaps been in a more magically soaked place he could do something. He doubted it. He wouldn't know how to begin, or continue, or end. Harry wondered if a sharp knife in his throat would hurt this much. He doubted it.

Harry didn't know how long he had been lying there but when he opened his eyes it was dark and there was a slam down stairs. Harry recognized the sound of a door being thrown open somehow, even through the fuzzy haze that covered him almost like a blanket. His limbs were numb again and while that was nice physically, it hurt inside still, well hurt was the wrong word. It was empty.

Then he heard Petunia's scream. A second later the locks his door was kicked open and a furious looking vampire stalked into the room.

Valentine froze as he saw Harry. His eyes dilated and Harry saw his fangs grow. The rumour that Born-Vampires could go into a bloodlust was both true and untrue. They didn't get any madder then a starving person. But lots of blood was tempting, sinfully so. Harry fancied Valentine's hair rising in an unseen wind as he bared fangs and claws like on a movie. Then the vampire turned and fled.

Harry tried to focus on the second figure and soon his face swam into focus.

"Griphook." He chuckled, blood bubbling from his mouth.

He tried a smile and failed by the forbidding look on the goblin's face.

"We're dealing with the parasites as we speak Lord Potter."

Petunia's scream echoed again along with Vernon. Harry tried to laugh but it came out as a pained cough.

"Medic!" Griphook yelled harshly.

Another goblin came scurrying in and took one look at Harry.

"We need to get him to Gringotts. I need more things then I brought it appears."

Griphook yelled something in the goblin language and two burly goblin guards stalked in, each wearing armour and carrying an axe or a spear. Two other's followed and a quick spell and Harry was on a stretcher, being carried outside.

"Illusions on!" A goblin yelled at the door. "The muggles have gathered outside."

All the goblins swirled and looked like muggle police and paramedics a second later. Harry was carted outside as the guards cleared the gathering neighbours who all gasped or screamed as they saw him. He tried to name each of them as they went by and remember what they had done to him from sneers to yells to subtle stones. He was carted too what like looked to the muggles like an ambulance, to Harry it looked like a carriage drawn by two huge, vicious beasts that looked like a cross between bears, horses, and dogs. Harry was pulled inside the carriage and they took off.

"What?" Harry slurred as Griphook's face appeared again.

"We had to use non-magic transportation. The others are too violent for your condition." He said calmly.

Harry moaned again as another goblin gently prodded him.

"Three broken ribs." The goblin reported. "Two bruised and two cracked also. He had some internal bleeding. One of his ribs pierced his lungs. He also has a slight concussion, a broken wrist and a fractured ankle. He's dehydrated and had no food in the last thirty six hours. Littered with bruises on the skin, some bruised bones, with a few bruised organs. He also bit his tongue badly and a finger is badly sprained."

"I'm a mess." Harry chuckled through the pain, coughing up blood.

"Rest Lord Potter." The medic goblin snapped. "You'll only make it worse by moving."

"We'll make sure you're safe." Griphook added.

"Dumbledore." Harry moaned.

When it had been said he had been found they had hurried to Gringotts. After making sure he was fine, after being healed by the goblins, Santinus had hesitantly left for the Demon Realm once more. Dante had told Harry that the other demon had a role in the Demon Realm that he could not abandon for much longer and had stayed longer then he should have to make sure Harry was fine before leaving. Dante had agreed to stay and look after Harry.

Hermione and Ron had headed home almost as soon as Harry had been nabbed. They'd bought the last of their supplies and then headed home to feign ignorance over if they had seen Harry while shopping. Griphook had written quick messages for the two telling them Harry was fine now.

Valentine hovered in his bedroom doorway, watching with a keen eye, with Harold a ways away with a book in hand and muttering. Loraine was making tea in the kitchen and Dante was fluttering around him worriedly.

A knock at the door had everyone pausing and looking up. Harold reacted first and answered the front door. A goblin and human in robes stepped in.

"We're the magical construction workers." The goblin said. "A Greeva Griphook sent us to add a basement to your home."

Harry blinked and faintly remembered that yes, Griphook had mentioned that since Dudley would be joining him at his house he would need more room. And of course only a magical crew could add a basement under an already built house without having to lift the whole house up and takes weeks. Harold stood next to the men as they started, keeping a sharp wary eye on the. Harry for a moment wondered when Dudley would arrive having gone with a disguised Griphook to take care of some things and get his stuff.
