Finding New Means
Chapter 4: Found
When Sirius finally received the news that Harry had returned to Hogwarts and was in the hospital wing he was overjoyed. He got to Hogwarts as fast as he could, which was now full of students since school had started three days ago, and run up to the hospital wing.
What he saw when he reached it shocked him beyond belief. There were already twelve people in the room crowding around Harry's bed. There was Dumbledore, McGonagall, Trelawney, who was trying to convince everyone that she had seen this coming, Snape who was looking exceptionally scornful at having to be in the same room as Harry, Remus, Madame Pomfrey who was yelling at them to keep quiet, Mrs. and Mr. Weasley, Ron, Hermione, Katie and Christine.
What shocked him more was the state that Harry was in. He had scratches and bruises all over his bare arms and face. Furthermore, he had a cast on his left leg and he was unconscious. Everyone turned when they heard him walk in and gave him a sad look.
"Madame Pomfrey, what is the meaning of this? Why aren't his injuries healed yet?" Sirius asked quietly, clearly shocked.
Dumbledore answered this question for him. "Sirius, usually your body helps injuries heal instead of just relying on magic to do the healing. Harry is so weak from doing this for the past two weeks that he can not help the magic anymore so we can not heal his leg completely. Madame Pomfrey has somewhat healed it and within two weeks his leg should be back to normal."
Sirius fell silent. His godson was in pain and they couldn't help him. This was just too much to take in and Sirius broke down. Katie and Christine came over and led him to a chair. Hermione and Ron also came over to help to try and comfort him.
"Hey come on Sirius, Harry's strong; he's not going to give up that easily." Ron said.
"Yeah" Hermione piped up, catching Ron's drift. "Remember that time he feel fifty feet from his broom."
"Fifty feet?!" Christine asked amazed.
"Yeah and he was in the hospital wing for two days." Ron replied.
"Wow." Katie said shocked.
"You guys are right; he's just not going to give up after he escaped." Sirius replied, brightening a little.
"Sirius, can I talk to you in my office for a couple of minutes?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yeah." Sirius replied. "Keep an eye on him, Christine." He whispered as he passed her. She nodded and he followed Dumbledore out of the room.
When they had reached his office and taken their seats Dumbledore started the conversation the conversation.
"Sirius, Harry may need to be on crutches for two weeks since we can't fully heal his leg. That is going to create a problem as you can't very well get around the school on crutches so I have decided that I want him to leave the school and come home and live with you for about two weeks or until he gets better." Dumbledore said. "Also, if Christine and Katie would like to go home for a couple of days and help you with Harry and get to know him better they are welcome to."
Sirius was overjoyed. "You mean it?" he asked
"Yes." Dumbledore replied. "Although I want him to remain here until he regains consciousness just so we can make sure he is okay."
"Great!" Sirius replied. "I'll go tell Christine and Katie." With that he ran out of the room.
Dumbledore found himself laughing for the first time in two weeks.
