Nightmares Chapter 8
Sirius yelled at Harry, " How dare you?" Harry went up to him. " Why do you care? You left me!" Sirius felt like he was punched in the stomach. " You know i had no choice-" Harry interrupted him," I didn't either. I heard uncle say something. If i stayed, he was going to kill me." Sirius' face changed from anger to panic. " What?" Harry hugged him, crying. " He was going to kill me himself Siri. I was going to die, please don't be angry." Sirius hugged him back. " Harry, you are never going back. Now why don't you eat? You look starving." Turning to Molly, he said," Do you mind if he stays the night? I need to have a word with Albus." Molly agreed, and gave Harry food. Harry was hungry, but he felt scared. What if they sent him back? Molly patted him on the back. " Whats wrong dear? You feel sick?" Harry got up and hugged her, and crying said," My uncle hates me. He hates me. He wanted to kill me." Molly said," Its alright, shh, its alright." Everyone stared, and they all felt bad for Harry. Later, when Harry had went to bed, Molly felt the need to talk to the other kids. " I know you feel for Harry, but i want you all to drop the subject of this killing thing. Harry is awful upset about it, and i don't want any of you making it worse. Understand?"
In the morning, Sirius arrived and took Harry back to his place. Albus talked to the Dursley's, and after a fight, Harry was in Sirius' care. Harry felt a little scared to live with Harry, but he was just glad he didn't have to live with Vernon anymore. Harry felt sick, and hoped he would be okay. Remus was already at the house, but Harry walked in without saying hello and lied on the couch. Sirius sat next to him and said," Harry? You okay? I know you are upset but everything will be okay now." Harry sat up, holding his stomach. " No, i feel sick. I feel scared. What if Vernon comes back? What if i get sent back? And what about Hedwig and my school work? I left it all there. And my broom! I forgot my broom!" Remus got up and looked at Harry." Don't worry, we got that all here, except Hedwig, who we used to send a anything?" Harry shook his head, and lay down,tears trickling down his face. Sirius felt bad for him, but decided Harry could use alone into his bedroom, Remus followed.
Harry's POV
Harry really hoped he wouldn't throw up again. He had just got sick at the beginning of their trip! Harry felt his stomach gurgle, and went into the bathroom. Fortunately, he didn't get sick, but he did have a bad stomach ache. Leaving the bathroom, Harry felt hot. Changing into his pajamas, and even though it was only eleven, went to bed.
Sirius' POV
Sirius and Remus went downstairs to make lunch. Sirius noticed Harry wasn't on the couch anymore. " Remus? Can you see if Harry is in the guest room, well, er, his room?" Remus nodded and went upstairs. Seeing Harry laying in bed, sleeping at one in the afternoon, went and got Sirius. Sirius shook Harry. " Harry, are you okay?" Harry sat up, rubbing his eyes. "Yeah, my stomach just hurts, that's all." Sirius sat next to him and said," Im sorry i left you with your uncle, Harry. We really didnt have any other choice. But now everything is okay. Understand? Harry nodded and walked downstairs with Sirius.
Harry 's POV
Seeing food, Harry felt even worse, but he ate with them so they wouldn't lunch, Mrs. Weasley and the kids stopped by to pick up Harry. Harry was confused. " Why would you do that? You're sending me away?" Sirius said,"Harry, it is just for tonight. I have to spend the night with Moony, remember?" Harry remembered, and got the stuff he needed over at the burrow. Remus felt horrible, and was laying on the couch, shivering. Seeing that Remus needed Sirius, Harry waved and went through the fireplace. Feeling even worse from the trip, Harry sat on the couch. Ron came over. " Hey Harry! The twins and I are going out later, wanna come?"Harry nodded and excused himself.
In the bathroom, he felt the need to cut himself, to relieve the pain. Staring at the piece of glass he always kept in his pocket, he sliced his right wrist. He loved the way it felt when the warm liquid seeped out. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. " Harry?" It was Ron. Of course. " I was just wondering whats taking so long. Are you ill?" Harry wiped the blood with toilet paper. " No Ron, i just got a bloody nose. I'm fine." Ron heard this and said," Oh, okay. When you get out we are going out." Harry sweared to himself. Cleaning the rest of the blood up, he flushed it away and putting a bandage on, he went into the living room. Fred saw him and said," Lets go!" They all went outside. Harry was confused." Where are we going anyway?" Ron whispered to him," We are going to their fort thing they made in the woods. They come here to hang out, and today they have trusted us enough to show us where it is!"
Going into the woods, they walked past a large boulder, a stream, and lots of trees. When Harry thought they would never get there, he saw a treehouse up in a tree. It was huge! Climbing up the ladder, they saw that it was a pretty nice fort. There were windows, and a rug on the floor. Sitting down, Harry looked around. As everyone talked and told funny stories, Harry felt like he was among his own brothers, and he enjoyed himself, laughing and not once thinking about his problems.
