Chapter 6: Arguments with Anne

Sirius and Dumbledore watched Anne walk out the room in shock. She wouldn't take Harry away, would she? Sirius understood why Anne felt like she needed to protect Harry, he felt the same way, but taking Harry away from the wizarding world wasn't the answer.

Dumbledore started making the arrangements to transfer Harry, it wasn't a difficult job, all he had to do was make sure that Poppy was still there. True, she had been to Grimmauld Place to care for Harry, but he didn't know where she went when she left. Once everything was ready, they would transfer Harry. Molly Weasley was beside herself with worry. How could Sirius and Dumbledore give in to Anne so easily? She understood that Anne was worried about Harry, but, she didn't have to take him anywhere. No Death Eaters can find Harry here, Grimmauld Place is unplottable. He was perfectly safe.

Anne was sitting with Harry, begging him to wake up, when Ron and Hermione came into the room. Anne looked up and frowned. " I thought that I told you two to never come in here, you all have done enough to Harry!" she said.

"Look," said Ron, "I know that you think that we did this to Harry, but we didn't have anything to do with it. It was the Death Eaters. THEY kidnapped him, not us! THEY tortured him, not us! So get over yourself already! He's our best friend! We want to see how he is!"

"Besides," said Hermione," we could tell you about Harry."

Anne looked up and realized how much of a bitch she was being. Ron and Hermione were Harry's best friends, they deserved to be here. "Alright, come sit down. Maybe you can get Harry to wake up." Said Anne.

Ron and Hermione immediately sat down next to Anne." How is he?" asked Hermione.

"Not good," said Anne. "He hasn't shown any signs that he's about to wake and I'm really getting worried. He needs to be in a hospital, not a bedroom. Sirius and Dumbledore just won't listen to me. At least, they wouldn't until I threatened to take Harry to California."

Ron and Hermione looked up. "What!" screamed Ron. "You can't take Harry to America! We need him here!" Anne looked shocked that Ron was screaming, but Hermione thought that Ron was justified.

"Why would you do that?" asked Hermione.

"Look at what's happened to him Hermione! And I'm not just talking about this time! I know all about Quirrell, the basilisk, the Dementors, and the Triwizard Tournament! I know what Harry went through when he had to watch his friend get murdered right in front of him! I know the pain that Harry was in when Voldemort returned! So don't go acting like this is a first time occurrence!" screamed Anne.

Hermione was shocked. How does she know about all of that? "But, how do you know? Harry's unconscious, so he didn't tell you. And Sirius hasn't told you, so how on earth do you know about all of that?"

"I've been having nightmares for years, I just didn't know that they were real. I didn't know that it was happening to my brother! All I knew was that they were scary, I couldn't go back to sleep after I had those dreams, I had to get a sleeping pill just to sleep. After I started having the nightmares again, I was about to start taking them again. But then Sirius and Dumbledore showed up and informed me of what happened to Harry. I knew that I was seeing was what was happening to Harry. So, I had to come. But make no mistake, if anything like this happens to him again, I'll take him so far away that you'll never see him again!"

"I'm sorry," said Hermione, "I didn't realize that you knew about everything. You're really having dreams like that?"

"Yes, I didn't know what they meant at first. I thought that I was just having normal dreams, I didn't know that this stuff was happening to my little brother. If I had, I would have come sooner." Said Anne.

They sat in silence while Ron and Hermione processed what Anne had just said. She had seen everything that Harry has been through in dreams. It's just like the visions that Harry has about Voldemort. If Voldemort ever got a hold of this information, he would use it against Harry.

Sirius could hear all the screaming coming from Harry's room. Anne was arguing with Ron and Hermione. He wished them luck, Anne has proven to be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to Harry. He saw Ron come down the stairs shaking his head. "What's going on up there Ron?" asked Sirius.

"Anne and Hermione are having it out over Harry. Did you know that Anne wants to take Harry to California?" said Ron.

"Yes I did. But, I think we've talked her out of it so far." Said Sirius.

"Don't count on it. From what I can gather, she still hasn't given up on the idea. But, she can't take him, can she? I mean, isn't Harry safest here, with us?" said Ron.

"He is safest here, but if Anne wants to take him, I don't think that there's much we can do about it." Said Sirius.

Please let Harry be okay thought Sirius. If he's not, then Anne will take him away and we'll never see him again. Sirius went upstairs to see what was happening between Anne and Hermione. When he walked in the room, he saw that Anne and Hermione were talking quietly. It seemed that the argument was over, for now. Anne looked up and saw Sirius enter, he smile faded. She knew she shouldn't be mad at Sirius, but if he had protected Harry better, he wouldn't be in the shape that he's in now.

"How is he Anne?" asked Sirius.

"No change. I don't know what else to do for him." Said Anne.

"Just being here helps." Said Hermione. "He'll be okay. He's been through worse and bounced right back."

"Anne," said Sirius," we're going to transfer Harry tomorrow morning. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes, he needs to be in a hospital. I'm sure Madam Pomphrey would be more comfortable at Hogwarts then having to come here everyday." Said Anne.

Sirius nodded and left the room. Anne was right, of course. Harry did need to be in a hospital, and since he couldn't go to St.Mungo's, Hogwarts was the best bet. He just hoped that Harry would come back to them soon. He needed Harry. Harry's friends needed him, hell, the whole world needs him to be okay. And most importantly of all, his sister needs him to be okay. You could see that in her eyes. She was worried sick that Harry was going to die. If he did, she would be destroyed. She didn't even know Harry that well, but she loved him. He is her little brother. Hopefully Harry would recover completely and they could get to know each other.

Suddenly he was ripped out of his thoughts by a scream. He looked up to see Anne and Hermione were trying to coax Harry awake. It seemed that Harry's fingers had moved. Sirius ran to the other side of the bed and started trying to coax Harry awake.

"Harry! Come on kiddo, you need to wake up now." Said Sirius as he grasped Harry's hand. To his surprise, Harry squeezed his hand weakly. "Hermione! Go get Poppy quickly!" Hermione ran out of the door screaming for Poppy to come upstairs. Anne was excited. After several days, Harry was starting to wake up!
