Harry opened his eyes, he was staring up at a willow tree. Where was he? The last thing he could remember was fighting Bellatrix Lestrange and Remus had picked him up to go to the Burrow and he couldn't remember anything else. He stood up and when he looked ahead he saw 4 people. James Potter his father, Lily Potter his mother, Sirius Black his godfather and Cedric Diggory fellow triwizard tournament competitor.

"Mum, Dad, Sirius, Cedric?"

The four standing in front of him all nodded their heads he ran up to them and gave them all a hug. He was so happy. He couldn't ever remember being this happy except for being with his friends and the Weasleys.

"Why am I hear, am I dead?"

"No sweetie, you are in a coma, you tried to run after Bellatrix Lestrange at the burrow and you were quite badly injured"

"Oh, so this I how I can see all of you now, right in front of me"

They all nodded

"Can I stay here forever?"

"Son, you have to go back to the world, however much you hate it you have to go back, your friends need you and don't worry because we'll be here the whole way, one day the time will be right for you to come and join us in this world but for now you have to go back to the world."

"However, before you mum and my dear old friend James along with Cedric send you back to the world I suppose we could tell you a few marauders stories whilst your body takes time to recover."

"That would be great Sirius, or should I say padfoot"

He had had the most wonderful day. Hearing all of his father's stories from the days when they were at Hogwarts. His favourite story was the one where they had really annoyed filch by setting up 4 different pranks and poor old filch couldn't actually keep up with the amount of pranks that were going off. He had laughed and told the story of when Fred and George had left Hogwarts and how little tiny professor Flitwick had kept the swamp just to annoy Umbridge! Sirius and James had roared with laughter, Lily had chuckled and Cedric had snorted because he knew what filch was like in his older ages.

"Mum, when do I have to go back to the real world and leave you 4 behind?"

"Whenever you like sweetheart but just so that you know, the whole weasley family including Bill and Charlie who have come from their work are at this moment crowded around you bed in St Mungo's. I do believe that Miss Granger is on her way now and Remus is currently talking to Dumbledore about things and then he too will be returning to your bedside. You may stay here for a little longer though as I don't think your injuries are healed as much as they should be before you are conscious. I suggest that you spend the night here and then depart tomorrow in the afternoon when everybody has had time to sleep. When you go back to the real world however you will be in a lot of pain sweetheart because you were stabbed and tortured by Bellatrix."

"Ok, thanks mum but when I return will I be, will I be mad? Like Neville's parents?"

"No, fortunately Remus and Arthur managed to rescue you in time, a minute longer and you would have gone mad but no-one would have seen it because you would have been dead had they waited any longer!"

Harry sat there stunned. When he went back to the real world he would have to say a huge thank you to Remus and Mr Weasley as they saved his life
