Chapter 6.


Harry lay on his side with his hands bound behind his back. He couldn’t tell how long exactly he had been waiting but he knew it would not be long now. Just as that thought crossed his mind he heard the lock of the cell door open. He looked up with emotionless and dull eyes as non-other then his godfather walked in.

“Sirius?” He croaked out. Sirius knelt next to him making hushing noises, telling him that they were there to rescue him and that he shouldn’t talk but safe his energy. All Harry did was nod.

The trip out of the dungeon and to headquarters was fairly simple since Severus had, according to the plan, made sure that they would not be bothered. As soon as they entered the house Harry was taken upstairs so Madame Pomfrey could see if anything was wrong with him. Having anticipated this Tom had placed several spells on Harry to make it seem that certain things had been done to him. After all the tests Harry was given a dreamless sleep potion and was sent to the land of nod.


Harry awoke the next day to find that Sirius was sitting in a chair next to his bed. From the look of him he hadn’t sleep for days. When he made a move to sit up the older man was by his side in a flash.

“Harry are you all right?” Al Harry did was nod. “You shouldn’t try to sit up. You’re still very weak and need to rest.”

“Siri what happened?” Harry asked in a weak voice. “How did I get here?”

“We found you and brought you here. Merlin Harry I’ve been so worried. When I heard you weren’t at the Dursley’s and no one knew where you were I just felt so helpless. I didn’t know what to do and
Dumbledor kept saying that I should stay calm and not do anything rash and when I did he confined me to my room and oh Merlin Harry I’m sorry.”

Harry smiled a small smile at his godfather’s ramblings. “It’s ok Siri. I don’t blame you.”

“Thanks you don’t know what that means to me.” Sirius said taking the boy into his arms in a light hug.

“Am I disturbing something?” Snape’s voice asked from the door. “If not I need to see Mr Potter alone to see what potion’s I might need to administer.” Nodding Sirius got up to leave. Once the door shut Harry sighed in relief as he stretched.

“So?” He asked the potion’s master.

“So what?”

“What’s happening?”

“Oh well the old coot is still in the bad books especially Black and Lupin who seem outraged at the fact that it seems that the headmaster knew where you were and did nothing. The order is still in trouble of collapsing. I believe that all you have to do is tell them the story of how you were treated and scared and stuff. That should do it but don’t forget to act really depressed and traumatised.” Snape looked at the door. “Are you going to tell him?”

“I think so. I’m just scared he won’t be that accepting. I don’t want to loose him.”

“I know. I’ll see what I can get from him to see how he may take it. Now if I’m not mistaken there are some red haired people wishing to see you.”

“Send them in.” As soon as Snape was out the door Ron, Ginny, the twins, Hermione, Neville, Bill and Charlie came into the room. Harry shivered as he saw that Ginny still seemed to want to eat him. “Hey guys.”

“Oh Harry we were so worried.” Ginny said throwing herself at him. Harry grimaced not from pain but from the fact that she was touching him. Looking over her he nearly laughed as he saw Neville roll his eyes and mouth slut.

“Ginny get off him I think he’s in pain.” Bill said taking the grimace as one of pain. Ginny reluctantly got off the body beneath her.

“So what did Snape want?” Hermione asked.

“He was giving me some potions.” Harry replied leaning back into his pillows.

“Careful he might be poisoning you.” Ron warned. He wouldn’t dare Harry thought Tom would kill him.

The rest of the visit went quickly and soon Sirius was back with food and Snape not far behind. As Harry started to eat he looked at Snape who gave a nod toward Sirius and a thumbs up. Setting his food to the side Harry turned to his godfather.

“Siri I have something to tell you.” Harry said in a voice much stronger then it should be.

“Of course Harry. You can tell me anything.”

“Well you know the past few months I’ve been gone. Well it’s not what you think.”


Cliffy!!! So how is Sirius going to take the news?
I’m not going to tell you unless I get some reviews.
