What if Harry was seriously injured in the Department of Mysteries (DOM) and Sirius blamed himself?
The man was pressing so tightly on Harry's windpipe that he could not breathe. Through watering eyes he saw Sirius duelling with a Death Eater some ten feet away; Kingsley was fighting two at once; Tonks, still halfway up the tiered seats, was firing spells down at Bellatrix-nobody seemed to realise that Harry was dying. He turned his wand backwards towards the man's side, but had no breath to utter an incantation, and the man's free hand was groping towards the hand in which Harry was grasping the prophecy
It felt like he was squeezing harder onto Harry's windpipe-if that was possible as seconds turned into minutes. The man snatched the prophecy from his bloodless hands with a triumphant grin, he felt himself being thrown onto the floor- darkness closing in on him with one last look he looked at the fierce duelling of the aurors and Neville who seemed to be looking for someone while dodging spells in the process.
"HARRY!" A familiar voice yelled
Sirius dashed down to Harry, ignoring the chaos around him to help his godson who was lying on the floor far too still. 'Please be okay' Sirius thought desperately as he checked for a pulse, their was one- slightly faster then usual but relieving. He stirred and Lily's eyes snapped onto Sirius'.
"Thank goodness your alive" Sirius sighed then peered around for any approaching Death Eaters. He helped Harry up who smiled in appreciation.
"I thought I was dead as well" Harry muttered under his breath and shot a spell behind his back and the approaching Death Eater fell back.
"Nice one Ja- Harry!" Sirius grinned as he stunned the Death Eater who attempted to hurt them and Harry grinned back. Neville limped towards them looking suddenly nervous as he saw Sirius but got through.
"Harry Ib wab lokkbin forb youb!" Neville said relieved
"I noticed... kind of" Harry replied while stunning a Death Eater over Neville who looked back and nodded in appreciation. Sirius wiped out another Death Eater over Neville.
"Thebs sirb"
"No problem uh-"
"Nebill Lobngblottom"
"Neville Longbottom?"Sirius corrected with a knowing Neville nodded-
"OI-THIS IS NOT A GET TOGETHER WITH SOME TEA AND BISCUITS!" Moody roared hobbling towards the trio who began helping the others. Neville got called from a Order Member and he raced to them.
"Oh well look who it is,"
"itty bitty Potter and Sirius Black" Bellatrix cackled and Sirius looked furious and began to throw any spell that came into his head at her. They played a taunting game at each other making sarcastic snide's when either missed.
"You would like this one especially!" Bellatrix cackled and a deep purple spell rushed towards Sirius but it hit Harry who was back to back with Sirius shooting spells at Death Eaters who didn't seem to notice it hit his arm. Bellatrix laughed crazily.
"Harry!" He turned around facing Sirius in response to his name but as he did he was hit straight in the chest by a white light. He staggered backwards and collapsed as blood spurted from his face and through his school robes- obviously extremely deep his wand dropped to the floor. Before Sirius could react, his cousin mad cackle echoed the walls and she Disaparated.
Sirius dropped in front of Harry who was panting and gasping deeply as if he came back up from underwater.
"No no no..." He muttered under his breath as he looked forlorn searching for someone and he did.
"REMUS!" Sirius yelled- Harry's thick messy hair so much like James' was soaked in blood and his fringe covered his eyes completely as it stick to the blood. The fluid spilled all over the floor at a alarming speed and his hands shook firmly. Remus with Dumbledore charged down across the remaining people of the battle- Sirius brushed Harry's hair out of his eyes and held his blood caked hand which soothed him a bit from the look of his eyes. The pair gasped looking suddenly pale.
"Help-PLEASE!" Sirius sobbed, Dumbledore got out a portkey which would take Harry to the Hospital Wing immediately, Sirius and Harry left in a whirlpool. Dumbledore got out another portkey which would escort he and Remus to the closest room to the Hospital.
Harry and Sirius landed inside the Hospital Wing at the front door and as soon as Harry landed his knees gave out and blood dripped from his face steadily. Before Madam Pomfrey could come back from her office, Sirius turned into Padfoot to keep his identity hidden. Ginny, Ron, Luna and Neville heard a crack and found a shaggy dog known as 'Padfoot' and someone in school robes who was completely battered- Ginny, Luna and Neville got up past Hermione who was still unconscious and a clueless Ron who stared at the trio as they walked up to the badly injured person and the familiar dog. The student became unusually limp and his body lay on the floor, Padfoot whined and they came closer and went wide eyed as they noticed it was Harry who looked so unfamiliar covered in blood. Padfoot whined desperately staring at Ginny with a pleading look in his eyes before they could react, a door creaked and-
"What are you three doing out of-" Madam Pomfrey gasped as they moved to the side to reveal a battered Harry. The nurse shooed them out of the way to their bed and gave them a Calming Potion which didn't help, Ginny had tears in her eyes which she didn't hide well, Neville and Luna stood wide eyed and frightened for their friend. Just then Dumbledore and Remus came in looking grave as they studied all their young faces.
"Will he be okay?" Neville whispered to Ginny.
"Yes, of course he will, he's a fighter" Ginny replied, she was still shocked at so much blood he lost and almost vomited at he gashes that littered his face.
"How is he Poppy?" Remus said a while later, he and Dumbledore were waiting outside looking anxious like the teenagers.
She sighed looking at her hands which had Harry's blood on them, "Not well to be honest," Padfoot whined "I slowed down the bleeding slightly and gave him a dose of pain killing extract, many doses of blood replenishing potion I can't think of anything else to do I'm afraid"
"Thank you Poppy, I'll best be going now" Dumbledore replied with a thoughtful face.
Hermione stirred and got up with difficulty, noticed everyone grave faces and saw a screen covering a bed on her left.
"W-what happened?" Hermione asked, bracing herself. Ginny broke down into tears which was so rare for someone so feisty and fierce like herself.
"H-he might not make it" Ginny muffled.
"Who and why?"
"Big, long gashes, blood everywhere, unstable" Ginny continued, Hermione held in her breath-
"Who?" she asked higher than usual
"Harry" Luna answered looking shocked as well as permanently surprised.
Ooooh! cliffhanger! I actually might make a fanfiction just on this!
