Something gold was glistening right above him. The Snitch! He tried to catch it but his arms were too heavy. He blinked. It wasn't the Snitch at all, it was a pair of glasses. How strange. Voices too… Which was even more peculiar, as the last thing he remembered was a voice, an angry one yelling 'kill him!' repeatedly. And another one, strained, elderly and concerned, who was yelling his name, also repeatedly.
Harry closed his eyes and tried to make out what the voices were saying.
'Yes, this is most unsettling how You-Know-Who could pretend to be a teacher for a whole year!' One voice said-a man. 'But that's not all! For obvious reasons, I visited Azkaban yesterday, and Black - yes, Sirius Black! – Seemed completely sane! Asked me for the newspaper, in fact! Said he missed doing the crossword puzzles! Oh, but that's not all, I had the Aurors check the prison again this morning, and Black was gone! The newspaper was on the ground, it was an article about Mr Potter's adventure three days ago – He killed the poor boy's parents and now he wants to finish what he started! Potter's only eleven!'
'My dear minister, I would love to continue to speak with you but I'm afraid I've got to go check on young Harry.' Another elderly voice said – Professor Dumbledore!
Harry felt cold metal touch his nose as his vision cleared.
'Headmaster – Quirrell – The Stone!' Harry panickily
'Harry, my dear boy, please calm yourself or Madam Pomfrey will have me throw out.' Dumbledore said
Harry swallowed and looked around. He was lying on a bed with white linen sheets and next to him was a table piled high with what looked like half of a sweet-shop. Harry took a deep breath.
'What happened to the Stone?' Harry asked
'It has been destroyed.' Dumbledore replied calmly
'Oh… Who is Sirius Black?' Harry asked
'A petty criminal who has escaped from prison. No one for you to worry about.' Dumbledore said
'Okay,' Said Harry, recognising that he was still allowed to ask questions. 'Do you know who sent my Invisibility Cloak?'
'Ah, your father left it in my possession before he died, I thought you might like it.' Dumbledore said sadly. 'Now, enough questions, I suggest you make a start on these sweets.'
'When will I be allowed out?' Harry asked restlessly
'You will be allowed out tomorrow evening for the feast.' Dumbledore said. 'Speaking of the feast, I have to go to the kitchens to make sure the preparation is going alright. Good night, Harry.'
And with that, Dumbledore left.
