Harry was limping rather inelegantly, but at least he was still alive.
He'd had the unfortunate luck to be passing a flaming house when its structural support gave way, and had gotten hit by a large piece of the crumbling facade. Three broken ribs, a broken ankle, and several gashes had removed any chance of him getting past the raiders and into the safe house. He'd had no choice but to Apparate away from Godric's Hollow.
He made a stop at a very small outpost type town where no questions were asked to send an owl to Grimmauld Place saying nothing more than that he was fine and would make further contact when it was safe, then continued on his way.
Now it had been three days, and the healing spells and potions had mostly done their work. He was walking again and had no chest pain, and though a gash or two had scarred in the healing he was otherwise fine as he made his way into the kitchen where Henri was. He had gone to the only person he knew outside of the Order, and thus the only person he knew the Death Eaters weren't watching.
The former Auror was reading the newspaper at the table, already wide awake and put together where Harry was still in his boxers and t-shirt. He made it to the table with only a slight limp, lowering himself into a seat.
"...thanks," he said after a moment, when Henri finished the article he was reading and looked up. "For letting me stay, I mean. I know it's dangerous. I'll be out of your hair quick, I'll see if it's safe to go back to my place and if not I'll find a flat somewhere."
