When You Kill Angels

A Harry Potter FanFiction

As soon as they had arrived from Azkaban Poppy had performed several diagnostic spells to tell what state Harry was in and then gave him several potions to take. One of the potions was a Dreamless Sleep Potion so Harry was currently fast asleep in the Hospital Wing. Albus, however, is meeting with the Order.

"Albus, let him stay at the Burrow with us. You know how well protected it is. And Harry needs to be around old friends right now," said a tearful Molly Weasley. Harry had to be extremely underfed, she thought while making plans to stuff him with food.

"You vile woman," said Tonks," You called him a murderer! He had been nothing, but kind to the Weasley family and yet you threw him away! And you think he'd want to stay with you?"

Molly replied with a slightly dismissive tone,"Harry is a forgiving creature. He understands we all make mistakes. I was distraught over my daughter's death. Plus I didn't exactly see you defending him. You were just as against him as I was."

Tonks stood and started towards Molly, before Remus pulled her back and spoke to Molly,"I don't think you understand, Molly. Harry isn't Harry anymore. You know what Dementors do to him. He's been surrounded by them constantly for 10 years. For all we know, he doesn't even remember us."

Dumbledore shook his head,"I'm fairly sure he remembers us. Poppy says his mind is fully intact, though we don't know how. But Remus is right, Molly. Harry won't be the same. I propose we have him stay at Hogwarts over the summer and decide where he'll stay after that." Everyone nodded in agreement, except Molly who stared angrily at the floor.

"Albus, when can we see him?" Hermione asked.

Albus sighed. "After he wakes up Poppy will allow two people in at a time. I suggest, however, that if you do visit him, be careful, as he is most likely angry with all of us." Hermione nodded before grasping Ronald's hand tightly.

Albus sighed, before standing and declared the meeting over before heading down to the hospital wing to check on Harry. When he arrived he was suprised to see Harry was actually awake. Albus looked around for Poppy, but she was no where to be seen.

"She is currently on her way to Snape's office for some more potions."

Albus looked at Harry in suprise. He was sure, after the fiasco at Azkaban, that Harry wasn't speaking to him at all. "I must say I am suprised to see you awake, Harry."

Harry laughed, an odd sort of sound, as his voice was rather hoarse from lack of use. "And I am suprised that I wound up in Azkaban."

Dumbledore winced, before looking away. "I know it doesn't help much, but I am sorry."

Harry laughed again. "Just let me go, Albus."

Albus sighed, "I am sorry, again, but I can not do that. We have no idea what toll Azkaban took on your body."

Harry rolled his eyes at the old coot. "So, you released me from one prison, only to lock me in another? No matter, I shall let myself out." And with that Harry stood up, wobbling for a second, before strolling out of the Hospital Wing. Albus was frozen with shock. Poppy had put a multitude of spells on Harry to prevent him from standing and escaping. This was not good. Certainly not good.
