Harry Potter and the Abusive Dursleys
Chapter 9
"What has Potter got himself into this time?" Snape sneered.
"Get out the way Snape" Sirius hissed, walking passed him.
"My my, be like that then." Snape said, before walking off to the dungeons.
"If I had my way he would have been sacked years ago." Sirius said.
"MADAM POMFREY!" Sirius shouted, after Remus' knocking in the door had no effect.
"What in goodness name is goin-" She stopped when she saw the frail body in Sirius' arms. "What happened?"
"He's damn relatives is what happened." Sirius said, fuming.
"Put him on a bed here." She said strictly.
Sirius walked over and gently lay Harry down. After that she shooed Remus and Sirius away from the bed whilst she did some tests.
"Okay, he's lost a large amount of blood aswell as broken bones and cracked ribs. But I think i've got him stable for now." She said sadly, looking over at Harry.
"When can he get out of here?" Sirius asked. He had never like hospital wings, even considering he spent alot of time in them from school.
"Please Mr.Black, when he's ready I'll let him go" She said sternly.
"Yeah yeah" Sirius waved it of and sat in the seat next to Harry's bed.
"Sirius?" Remus said, shaking his friend.
"Hmmm" Sirius moaned, tiredly. He opened his eyes a bit and sat forward in his...chair?!
"Sirius, you've been in that chair for 8 hours...your back's got to be killing you" Remus said, slightly amused.
"Yep, it is a little." Sirius agreed.
"Well, it just proves that your becoming an old man" Remus said, laughing a bit.
"I am not an old man!" Sirius said seriously. (no pun! Lol!)
"Oooh...I beg to differ"
"Well, at least I'm not the one with grey hair!" Sirius said, slightly triumphant.
"Suppose. So how's Harry doing?" Remus asked.
"No difference. He's been like this for 3 days Remus! 3 days!" Sirius exclaimed.
"I know, which reminds me. You haven't left his side in 3 days either..."
"Come on Remus, I'm not about to lose him once more." Sirius said sternly.
"You haven't eaten anything for goodness knows how long!" Remus said. "Come to the dinning hall with me and have supper.
"No, Harry could wake up." Sirius said, eyes not leaving his Godson.
"We'll only be gone for 5, 10 minutes at the most" Remus said, trying to convince him.
"I don't know..." Sirius pondered, unsurely.
"If he does wake, then Madam Pomfrey will call you anyway." Remus reasoned.
"Er...I guess." Sirius agreed sadly. Very reluctant to leave his ill Godson.
"Don't worry Sirius. He'll get better." Remus said, looking sadly down at Harry.
"I hope so Remus, I hope so."
Less than 5 minutes later Sirius was aleady fidgeting in his seat, having hardly eaten a thing.
"Sirius, come on. You really need to eat something. Your not doing Harry any good, you starving yourself."
"...What?" Sirius asked. "Lets go back. I'll eat there...Promise" Sirius added, after Remus' gaze.
"Fine" Remus said, taking the last sip of pumpkin juice and standing up.
"Ahh, Mr.Black, just the person I wanted to see." Madam Pomfrey said, when she noticed Sirius walking into the Hospital wing.
"Yes?"
"Harry is awake" She said, smiling.
"Really?" Sirius asks, bewildered.
"Yes, now go and see him" Madam Pomfrey said, shooing him towards the far end bed.
"Harry?" Sirius asks.
"Sirius?" A weak voice replies. Sirius quickly opened up the curtains and stepped inside. He smiled sadly.
"Harry, I'm so sorry." Sirius said, breaking down slightly. Harry had several large bruises covering his arms and one on his left cheek. A few cuts littered his neck. He really did look a sight.
"Why?" Harry asked timidly, not knowing why Sirius was sorry.
"Because...I should have come earlier. I should have known. Your my Godson!" Sirius said. "Why didn;t you tell anyone before Harry??" Sirius asked wildly. If truth be told, the whole situation was getting a bit out of control. Why Harry a tad scared and Sirius being loud.
"Sirius?" Remus asked, coming into the small area which the curtain made. "Whats going on?"
"Look Moony!" Sirius said.
"Sirius, you've seen Harry like this for 3 days...this shouldn't come as a shock to you now" Remus said gently. He thought it was probably the fact that here Harry was, alive and acting well when he had been physically abused.
"Yes but...but..." Sirius said, struggling for words. He then sat down in his usual seat and put his head in his hands.
"How are you feeling Harry?" Remus asked kindly, trying to make sirius come out of his momentary shock.
"Erm...Okay, I guess." Harry lied.
"Honestly" Remus said.
"I suppose, not to good then." Harry said, raising a cut hand to his head.
"Does your head hurt?" Remus asked, concerned.
"No" Harry said quickly.
"It's not a weakness to feel pain Harry" Remus said softly.
"No, It doesn't hurt." Harry said.
"Remus, how can you act like Harry's himself?" Sirius asks.
"What? Harry is himself Sirius." Remus said, looking at his friend.
"No...he's not. He should have told someone!" Sirius said, looking angry.
"Wha-"
"He should have told us that Dursley was abusing him!" Sirius said.
Harry looked wide eyed at Sirius. He hadn't seen him get angry like this, with Harry.
"Mr.Black! Why on earth are you shouting? Anymore from you and you'll be removed." Madam Pomfrey said sternly. This seemed to make Sirius snape out of it...a bit.
"Sirius, I really think you should calm down...None of this is Harry's fault okay?" Remus said truthfully.
"How can I calm down. When we were playing chess and what not, he was getting beaten and didn't think to tell anyone. No one at all!" Sirius hissed.
"Thats it! Mr.Black out of here now!" Madam Pomfrey fumed. "I will not let you disturb my patients, thank you very much"
Sirius just stalked out of the Hospital wing. Remus, to say at the least, was a little shell shocked. Only 10 minutes ago Sirius was fretting whether Harry would wake up or not and now he was shouting at him? The poor kid must be scared, having just woken up.
"Harry?" Remus asked, realising he had been silent for a while.
"Yes?" Harry asked in a small voice.
"Don't listen to what Sirius said. He was just scared. He's not himself right now." Remus said, turning round to face Harry.
"Erm...yeah" Harry said, dismissively.
Remus sat in Sirius' old place. And they sat there for what felt like hours, when really a few minutes.
"Remus?" Harry suddenly asks.
"Yeah?"
"I did send for help though...I sent a letter to Ron" Harry said quietly. "He didn't come..."He added.
"Don't worry Harry. We, me and Sirius, saw Arthur that night when we came to collect you." Remus said quickly.
"Oh" Harry only said, before settling down into a fitful sleep.
Remus looked over at harry sadly, before standing up to go and find Sirius. He had to have a word with him...
