Cries of Pain Chapter 2

Harry awoke with a bad headache. Rolling over, he realized he was on a couch. How did he get here? Groaning, he opened his eyes. Unfortunately, he couldn't find his glasses. Getting up, he realized he was very dizzy, but he wanted to know where he was, so he went through the nearest door.

Seeing Harry walk through the door was a surprise for Sirius. He almost died yesterday! Shouldn't he be in pain? "Harry! What are you doing up?" Harry was surprised to hear Sirius' voice. '' Sirius? Is that you?" Sirius walked over to Harry and felt his forehead. ''Harry, you are burning up! You need to go lie down on the couch!" Pushing Harry onto the couch, Harry asked Sirius, "What happened? How did you find me?" Sirius sighed. "That doesn't matter now, what matters is you're safe. Thirsty? Need anything?" Harry shook his head. "I just have a headache", he said," Can you stay with me?" Sirius lied down next to him, and they fell asleep together.

The next day, Molly came by along with all the kids. Ron, Fred, and George sat with Harry. "Why didn't you tell anyone mate?" asked Ron. Harry looked at his hands. "If I told anyone, he was going to kill me." Feeling embarrassed, Ron apologized for his question. "It's okay Ron, you didn't know." replied Harry. That night, Harry felt dizzy and tired. Not wanting to eat dinner in fear of upsetting his stomach, Harry went up to his room and lied on his bed. Sirius came up and sat next to him. "Feeling okay Harry?" Harry shook his head. "I don't feel good Sirius. I feel dizzy and confused. It's like my mind is all fogged up. "Sirius was worried about him. "I will contact Madame Promfrey tomorrow okay? Right now I think you should rest." Harry soon fell into an uneasy sleep.

Waking up, Harry realized he had another nightmare. He felt confused and didn't know where he was. Getting up, he fell onto the floor from the dizziness. How did he get on the floor again? Holding his head, Harry lay on the floor, confused and falling unconscious.

Sirius was going up to check on Harry, but first he kissed Remus and said, "I love you Moony. Will you join me upstairs while I check on Harry?" Getting Sirius' humor, he went up the stairs to Harry's room, Sirius' hand in his. When they entered the room, Harry was on the ground, hardly alive. Picking Harry up, Sirius yelled for Remus to get the Floo Powder ready. "I am taking him to St. Mungo's!" At the hospital, they waited to hear from the healers. Twenty minutes later, a nurse came out and let them into a private room. A man in his late thirties entered behind them. "Are you the guardians of Harry?" After receiving a nod from Sirius and Remus, he continued. "Harry is in critical condition. It seems as though he hit his head pretty hard on something. This caused bleeding in his brain. We did all we can, and now all we can do is wait and see if he wakes up. He may, or he may not. This I cannot tell. I am sorry." Leaving the room, the healer felt bad for them. Sirius went into Harry's room, and almost cried when he saw him. Remus sat in a chair, head in his hands. Harry was connected to many machines, and he had breathing and feeding tubes in. Many wires were hanging off the side of the bed. Sirius sat with Harry, talking to him. "Come on, Harry. I need you, Remus needs you. You cannot leave now!"

Throughout the day, many people stopped by. Albus and many members stopped by to see Harry; afraid they would never see him again. The Weasley's had picked up Hermoine, and they all went to visit Harry in the hospital. Hermoine and Ron never left Harry's side. Everyone talked to Harry, hoping he would open his eyes and talk back. But he never did.

Three weeks later, the healer asked if they were ready to pull the cord. Sirius shouted," No! I haven't given up hop! Not yet! Harry is James' son, and I promised James I would protect him!" Sirius couldn't stand to sit and watch Harry waste away. He wanted Harry to come back so he could see his brilliant green eyes again.

The next day, everyone was saying their goodbyes to Harry. It was expensive to keep him on the machines, and his organs were not going to last much longer anyways. After everyone left, Sirius, Remus, Harry, and the healer were the only people in the room. The healer pulled the plug, and Harry was considered dead. After Remus and Sirius held each other, crying. They had failed James and Lily. They felt as if they failed as parents, which made them reconsider adoption in the future.

Right before Harry's body was to be removed; Sirius got on the bed and lied down next to him, crying.

Harry was in heaven, with his parents. He was happier than he had ever been, but after seeing Sirius and Remus so upset, he knew what he had to do. After death, you had exactly ten hours to go back if your body was still stable, depending on your choice. Harry hugged his parents one more time, and went back to Earth, back to his body.

Harry woke up, and heard voices of people talking, and of course, Sirius crying. Opening his eyes, he tried to call out to Sirius. Unfortunately, his mouth was blocked by the feeding tube. He tried moving his arms to get someone's attention. Seeing this, the nurse screamed. Startled, Remus and Sirius looked at what she was pointing at, and saw Harry. Amazed, Sirius ran over and kissed him on the head. Remus and Sirius knew James had forgiven them, and sent Harry back.

I understand wizards would not use machines, but i like to think they do. Its fanfiction, i can do what i want. :)
