Harry Potter and Some Really Bad Luck

Albus went outside quietly and then reentered, not wanting them to think he was spying. As soon as he entered Hermione jumped back into her seat next to Harry's sickbed. Harry abruptly stoped crying, wiped his eyes and blinked rather rapidly, pretending he hadn't just been crying a second ago.

This saddened Albus. Harry though he had to hide his feelings from him. That meant that there was a lack of trust... or trust yet to be gained.

Ron still had that blank wide-eyed stare on his face as he stared at nothing in particular in his absolute shock.

Harry and Hermione just stared at him, waiting for him to speak first. The were both to upset to make a sound. Plus they didn't know if they were capable of talking at the moment.

"Ms. Granger," he said politely, "could you please escort Mr. Weasley and yourself to the Gryffindor common room?"

"Yes, sir," she said, sniffling quietly. She didn't want to leave Harry alone, but she knew she had no choice.

She stood up slowly and turned to Ron, grabbed his arm, and gently pulled him up, leading the dazed 13-year-old outside of the Hospital Wing. She gave Harry one last sorrowful look full of pity and despair before she shut the doors.

"Harry..." Dumbledore began, knowing that Harry probably didn't want to talk at the moment.

"Professor, can I ask you something?" Harry asked, surprising Dumbledore who thought that Harry would be very quiet and not in the mood to talk.

"Yes, of course you may." he said kindly, thankful that Harry hadn't decided to shut out the rest of the world.

"Am I going to have to leave Hogwarts?" Harry asked, fear, stress, and anxiety all etched on his face.

"No, you will not. What makes you think you would have to?" Dumbledore questioned curiously. After he let Remus come to school why would he turn Harry away?

"Well, after what happened tonight I thought you might..." said Harry trailing off as he became deep in thought. What were was he going to go for the summer? Would he be able to stay at Hogwarts?

"No, Harry. You are not going to be expelled for things for out of our control." Dumbledore said sternly. It was ridiculous to think of expelling Harry for something like this!

"Thank you Professor." Harry mumbled quietly. He was still thinking hard.

"Now I have a question I would like to ask you," he said. "Where would you like to live? Your aunt and uncle are already upset enough with me as it is for me sending you to them every summer without the lycanthropy, and I think they would attempt homicide if I sent you there now." he said with that annoying little twinkle in his eye.

"I'd like to stay here at Hogwarts-"

"No students are allowed to stay here over the summer holidays, Harry," Dumbledore reminded him gently. No student under any circumstances had EVER stayed here over the summer holidays because that was when the ministry did their inspections, and they didn't like children running around when they did.

"Well," Harry mumbled, "Then I'd like to stay with Sirius I guess, but under the circumstances..."

"That can be arranged," Dumbledore stated simply. Sirius was a great idea! It would be good for both Harry and Sirius. Sirius would finally feel like he was redeeming himself and Harry would finally have the loving home he never had.

"Really?" said Harry, stunned. "How?" Sirius was an escaped convict and Harry was one of the most famous wizards of their time, and people would notice if he just vanished from the Dursleys' out of thin air. It wouldn't take long for them to figure out he was with Sirius, only they would think that Sirius had kidnapped him and was intending to murder him.

"Simple," Dumbledore explained, "we secretly send you to Sirius in the summer, make a doppleganger of you, send that to your aunt and uncle's, and should the Ministry come knocking for any reason, they will think they are talking to the real Harry Potter."

"That's bloody brilliant!" said Harry in awe. He was going to live with Sirius and there was nothing the Ministry could do about it! Ha!

Dumbledore chuckled,"I have many 'boody brilliant' plans up my sleeves, I just need scenarios to use them in."

Harry smiled faintly, wondering how on earth this man could think of such plans. It just wasn't logical! This guy could figure out anything!

"Professor?" Harry asked, a sudden thought popping into his head.

"Yes, Harry?" said Dumbledore wondering what else was there for Harry to worry about.

"The last thing I remember was Hermione and I being attacked... How exactly did we get out of that mess?" inquired Harry. He really had no idea at all.

"Professor Snape," stated the old man simply. He watched in amusement as 30 different emotions played across Harry's face. It finally settled on disgust.

"Snape?" Harry scoffed. Why would Snape do anything for him? Snape hated his guts!

"Professor Snape, Harry. And yes, he did." Dumbledore said, curious about what would happen the next time Snape and Harry met up.

"But why? He hates me!" Harry exclaimed.

"I think that the reason he saved you and Ms. Granger was because of an old debt he had to settle." Albus said getting more and more amused at how confused and tottally lost the teen was getting.

"Debt, Sir?" Harry asked, wondering how the Hell Snape owed him a debt.

"Yes, debt. When he and your father were in school on a night of the full moon Sirius decided to play a life threatening prank on Severus, not intending any harm mind you... Let's just say that if your father hadn't interfered, Severus would be either dead or just like Remus and yourself. He felt that he owed a debt to your father no matter how much he hated him, and by saving your life, that was his way of settling things, since your father has passed," Dumbledore explained.

"Hmmm... Interesting." Harry mused. He bet that Snape absolutely LOATHED owing his father. HA! He then began to think about his new 'furry little problem' some more.

"Harry?" The headmaster asked, wondering what could be going on in this boy's head.

"Hm?" Harry answered, still wondering how the bloody hell he was going to get through this mess.

"What are you thinking?"

"Oh, nothing much, just thinking about everything that happened. This sucks." said Harry frowning.

The Headmaster chuckled. "Well Harry, I think I must be leaving you. Madam Pomfrey will be quite upset with me for keeping you awake this long. Goodnight Harry." He got up from his seat next to Harry and walked toward the door.

"Professor!" Harry called.

"Yes, Harry?" he answered wondering what else Harry would want to know about.

"Does any one besides the teachers and Ron and Hermione know?" Harry asked terrified that everyone knew.

"No, your secret is safe. Everyone currently thinks you were attacked by an enraged hippogriff," Albus said smiling, his eyes twinkling merrily.

"Goodnight Professor." said Harry relieved. His secret was safe. Thank Merlin for that!

"Goodnight Harry." and with that Albus Dumbledore strode out of the Hospital Wing, trying to figure out how he would contact the notorius mass-murderer, Sirius Black,
