Harry sighed as he gently ran a hand thru his hare walking out of the chamber and back into the hall. He hadn't noticed the fact that his uniform was covered in blood, or that his hair was a mess.
"Harry! what happened to you!" Harry quickly turned hearing the distraught yell of his father.
"Pupa! I'm sorry! I had to!" Harry said taking a deep breath and nodding. "It's done. Lockheart, Tom, the basilisk, all of them are dead."
"Let's get you cleaned up and then we can talk about it alright." Sirius' voice trembled as he leads Harry into the teacher's bath. Quickly he charmed up some spare clothes and towels for the boy, before helping him out of his blood-stained outfit. Harry took a few deep breaths and dropped the sword, allowing himself to relax. it wasn't long before he was brought to the oversized bathtub that only the teachers, normally had access to. Admittedly the tub being the size of a swimming pool didn't surprise the young boy, having seen the size of the Perfect bathtub.
"Harry please, tell me what you did." Sirius gently pleaded as he helped Harry wash, seeing the sore movements of his son.
"I snuck into Dumbledore's office and took the sword of Gryphandoor, then I headed back to the door with the intention of taking Riddle's diary from Ginny. But once I re-entered the dorm I ran into Minny, and she tried to talk me out of it. When she realised that I would find a way to do it, either way, she handed me Tom's diary. I wrote Tom informing him that I would come for him, and then told him he had permission to kill Lockheart. He agreed and I went to the DADA classroom when I got there I stopped Lockheart' packing and cut his wand hand off as he reached for it. Then I brought him to the chamber and entered it with him, and lead him to Tom. Tom ordered the basilisk to kill Lockheart then me, but I was able to avoid being killed. Then I used my tongue to convince it not to attack long enough to kill it and I killed the diary with the sword." Harry whispered voice trembling lightly. "Before I did Tom said that Greyback would be ordered to attack Draco if I did. I told him we would deal with it when it happened and now, I'm worried about him."
"It's going to be alright Harry, I promise that we will keep him safe." Sirius nodded pulling Harry out of the tub drying his hair with a spell. Once Harry was completely dried off, Sirius helped him into the spare clothes and brought him to the hospital wing. When they arrived Harry re-explained what had happened to Dumbledore who smiled, a sparkle entering his eyes.
"Well done Harry my boy. You did something no one else would have been capable of doing. You saved the day once again, and for that, I am going to award one hundred points to Griphandoor for bravery." Dumbledore smiled and Harry curtly nodded. "However was it necessary to involve Locheart in this, he was being dealt with by myself."
"He wasn't being handled to the full extent that he should have been. It was unpreventable. One way or another he was going to end up in the chamber, I just punished him a bit more, finally." Harry shook his head lightly in disappointment. " There was nothing else that could be done."
"Alright Harry, rest up. You still have classes you know." Dumbledore nodded as Madame Pomfrey escorted Harry to a bed. Pomfery had a dark look in her eyes, but Harry could tell she was merely upset that he had put his safety at risk. Harry quickly lay in the bed and took the potion that she handed him.
"You should be better in a week, you will be dismissed from classes but expected to make up any work that you missed." Pomfrey sighed lightly pinching the bridge of her nose. "You saved a lot of people Mr Black, but you also put your own life at risk. Please don't keep hurting yourself like this, or one of these days you won't be able to heal."
"I know Poppy, and I'm so sorry. I didn't want to risk anyone getting killed." Harry sighed lightly leaning into the pillows. "And yet I just put Draco at risk."
"Why don't I bring him in tomorrow and you can talk it out," Pomfery suggested and Harry nodded.
"Alright, Draco isn't a bad kid, he was just raised by bad people. I want to give him a chance to make a change before something bad happens to him." Harry nodded drifting off into a deep slumber.
Draco had been walking along the winding path that circled around the castle, trying to figure out what was going on. He could tell that something was wrong, something just felt off to him, but he couldn't tell what. Taking a deep breath he sat against one of the walls, curling himself into a small ball and forcing himself to calm down, small trembles ran down his spine as his head was filled with fear and sadness.
"What the hell was that!" Drasco whimpered jumping to his feet as a howl sounded in the distance. Tears entered his eyes as a large grey wold slowly appeared from the Forbidden Forest. His breath quickened and he stumbled back, trying to figure out the fastest way to safety. The wolf quickly approached, showing it's full form.
"Greyback." Draco whimpered voice trembling as he realised what was happening. He was being attacked due to someone else's actions, but he didn't know who's. He had a feeling his father had done something to anger the Dark Lord, and he was being punished for it. Draco felt his boy freeze as the fear overtook his snarled darkly as he lunged, latching his jaw onto Draco's arm shaking it viciously. Draco let out a scream as the pain traveled up his arn and thru his entire being. His eyes rolled back and he quickly felt his body fall limp as he lost contiusness, not before hearing a second snarl.
