A note to my readers: Just got back from Six Flags

A note to my readers: Just got back from Six Flags. I went on Dark Night. It's not worth a 45 minute wait. This story, though, is worth the (insert number of days you've waited for an update here) you've waited. Here it is.

Warnings: Fluff and language. Violence.

Chapter 7-Awakening

"Harry?" There was no reply. Ron looked towards his mother. She too was looking towards Harry hopefully. Ron realized that he couldn't have imagined it.

Harry gave a soft groan before slowly opening his eyes. He quickly shut his eyes before saying in a strangled voice, "Could you turn off those lights. They're too bright."

"Harry! SIRIUS! SIRIUS GET IN HERE!" Sirius was followed by about two or three mediwitches.

"What? Is Harry hurt? He didn't die did he? He-," Sirius stopped abruptly. He was staring into Harry's now open green eyes. He took three strides to the bed and picked Harry up in a bone crushing hug. The mediwitches and Harry protested, but Sirius held firmly onto Harry.

"Sirius, you're hurting him," Mrs. Weasley said. Sirius let go and smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry, Harry."

"S' okay." With that, Harry drifted off back to sleep.

It was a few hours later when the news finally came out that Harry Potter had woken up. The reporters and photographers had made it within the first few minutes of the news. They scrambled up to the bed Harry was in. Harry was sleeping peacefully, or at least on the outside. Harry was actually having his most violent nightmare yet. One that Voldemort had forced him to see.

Curses were flying everywhere. He heard people screaming, crying; some of those people were begging for death. It was a torture chamber near Stalingrad. Ron was locked in there, as well as Hermione. They were being tortured at the moment. Ron was being thrown to the ceiling, hitting each time with a sickening crunch. They would release him and he would fall like a rag doll. They would catch him as he fell, inches above the stone surface and repeat their process multiple times. Hermione was being forced to watch the sickening display. When it was over, Ron and Hermione were placed under the imperious curse. They were told to kill each other in the most sickening way they could.

Harry awoke to a flash of white light and brilliant purple smoke. He rolled out of bed and quickly reached into his pocket, only to realize that his wand was not there. That was when he remembered where he was. He looked around at the gathered reporters and photographers. They all had a quill in hand and were asking questions. Harry's eyes became very dark as he listened to the accusations implied in the questions.

"Harry, did someone attack you and try to cover it up as a Death Eater attack?"

"Mr. Potter, Rita Skeeter from the Daily Prophet. Is it true that the notorious mass murderer Sirius Black is now after your head to finish the job his master couldn't?

"EVERYONE SHUT UP! Sirius was already proven innocent. There really were Death Eaters. Sirius would never do anything to hurt me and neither would the Weasleys. I do not wish to discuss why I was in a coma at this time. I would thank you all to now leave or else I might call the Aurors." Harry watched as several of the people immediately left, most of them photographers. Harry turned to the remaining people and waved his hand. The small group that was accumulated had blown back several feet, plowing back into the glass behind them. The glass shattered and the group of people fell through. They continued to be pushed back until they were all crammed in the elevator. One of them stuck out a finger and pressed the button for the first floor.

When Sirius walked in, he found Harry doubled over on the floor laughing hysterically. When asked why he was laughing so hard Harry replied with a half-hearted shrug. Harry spent the next few days within the confines of St. Mungo's recovery ward. He was let out only a week before his birthday.

Ending note to my readers: I tried to get 1000 words but I just couldn't (I sat staring at the last paragraph for a half hour). Next chapter will have all the way up to, but not including, the Hogwarts Express.
