Chapter Three: Sirius

"Sirius!" shouted Harry, running to his side. Sirius lay there, immobile.

"Now Harry," said Dumbledore, "I don't know if he is up to talking yet. But, I was about to fix him up the best I can. If you would like to wait until I do and see if Sirius is up to talking, that would be acceptable."

"Yeah," said Harry, "I want to stay with him."

While Dumbledore was trying to fix Sirius up, many thoughts raced through Harrys head. Sirius was the closest thing to family he had, if Sirius died, there would be no point in living anymore. Harry was planning to move in with Sirius whenever his name got cleared or when Harry graduated from hogwarts, he didnt know which one would come first. Just then, Sirius gave a small groan from on top of the table.

Harry ran to his side, "Sirius! What happened?!"

"Was going to...The Riddle...House,"Sirius struggled to say,"I...heard he might...be there." every breath looked like a struggle. "When I got there... was ambushed by Death Eaters... put cruciatus on me... till I passed out... then knives, whips, chains." At this Harry cringed, for he knew how much it hurt to be hit and cut open. "Just... had enough strength to get back to Hogwarts, apparated into Hogsmeade and walked here. I was coming to see you Harry, how are you?"

Harry couldn't hold it in anymore. He told Sirius everything the Dursleys had been doing to him. When he finished Sirius was looking murderous.

"Damn them!" he shouted, and Dumbledore had to quiet him.

"You should have told me Harry, i would have came and fixed them up right."

"I couldn't, they kept Hedwig in a cage, they were starving her too!"

"Fuck! How could they do this to you!? You just wait until i'm felling a little better! I'm going to kill them all!!"

"SIRIUS! Will you please CALM DOWN! You are going to wake up the whole school!" said Dumbledore.

"Sorry," said Sirius, "I just can't believe it."

"I know, neither could I." said Dumbleore quietly.

"Wait! You knew?" asked Harry, "So thats why every time McGonagall lookes at me she lookes like shes going to cry."

"Yes Harry, and i hate to tell you this, but you were rescued by professor Snape."

"WHAT!?!" said Harry and Sirius together.

"Yes, its true, he is not such a bad person after all, you know, he said he felt sorry for you, now, i must insist that you go back to bed Harry, Dont worry," he added as Harry started to open his mouth, "Sirius will be staying here and you can visit him whenever you want."

"OK" said Harry

He went over and hugged Sirius gently and went up to bed. He was seething, he couldn't believe what had happened. He believed one thing though, tomorrow, he was going after Voldemort. Sirius had told him where Voldemort was. Boy, that was a mistake.
