I've been reposting my story Digging For The Bones over at Dreamwidth so that I can also include author's notes and FAQ's.

This story was inspired by a Potion's and Snitches challenge called "New Screening Measures" which read as follows:  Summary: It is the beginning of a new school year and unknown to the Professors, one of their students has been badly beaten at home before making it to Hogwarts. This student dies overnight, sending all of the Professors in an uproar at missing the signs of such a terrible incident. As a result, each and every Hogwarts student is to undergo an exam as soon as possible, no exceptions. Harry has been a student at Hogwarts for at least one year. Extra points if he tries to get out of his exam somehow. I really only meant it to be a short story, but it ran away from me. 

59 chapters thus far. 15 chapters are up over on Dreamwidth with notes.

Warnings: Character death in the first chapter. Abused!Harry Snape is Harry's biological father. Mentions homosexuality, but there are no pairings and therefore no slash content. The story deals with many issues that can be triggering including self harm, suicide, child abuse, and neglect.

Summary: Rather than allowing Harry to stay at Diagon Alley after he blew up Aunt Marge, the Ministry sends Harry back to the Dursleys. Harry returns to school after a terrible summer, to find that he's not the only one with a secret. A student has been killed by his family. New screening measures are put into place by the Ministry: Every student must be given a medical exam and interview to look for child abuse. With Dumbledore facing an inquiry, Snape is entrusted with the task of making sure EVERYONE receives one.

There were his primary school records; they spoke of a quiet boy who seemed to lack motivation and was defiant at times.

Severus snorted to himself, he knew that already.

More reports went on to say that he never seemed to put effort into his homework, it often looked as though he'd done it in the few minutes between arriving at school and when the bell rang. Again, nothing new.

Some way down the stack, there was a rather ominous set of correspondence between the school nurse and one of Harry's teachers:

There was one note that speculated that the Dursleys were having money trouble, since the smaller boy was always dressed in the bigger boy's hand me downs.

Then there was a note from the school nurse, complaining that she had to tell Mrs. Dursley several times to get Harry's eyes checked.

A third note in which the teacher commented that Harry often seemed injured in one way or another. When asked, the child merely replied that he was clumsy.

The reply from the nurse said, that since the injuries were very minor, it was likely that they were accidental, and that she'd speak with Mrs. Dursley about it.

There were many things Potter was, but never clumsy. As quickly as he'd taken to his broom, Severus doubted the boy had ever had a clumsy bone in his body.

The other thing to be considered, was the fact that Wizard children were so much harder to injure, and healed so much more quickly than Muggle children.

If Potter was being hurt badly enough to leave visible bruises, he'd have to have been doing something like playing Quidditch, or jumping from second story windows. As a Muggle raised child, it was very unlikely he'd been doing either of those things.

As much Severus wanted to deny it, he couldn't deny that a subtle pattern had begun to emerge.
