The last thing Sarina remembered was a flash of green light. ~It wasn't just green; it had a tint of purple in front of it. ~
Sarina opened her eyes to find that it completely dark around her. She blinked as her eyes adjusted to the darkness. She saw outlines of beds on one side of her. On the other side of her was just blackness. Something was blocking her vision. Sarina sat up for she had been on her back the whole time. She saw the outline of a huge dog. It was sleeping peacefully in a chair by her bed.
She just stared at the dog until it clicked. She was in the hospital wing. The dog was Sirius, and he had been sitting here watching her for who knows how long. Sarina leaned over her bed and placed a simple kiss upon the black dog's head.
The dog twitched his nose and opened one emerald eye. He closed it again. Then both eyes opened in a flurry.
"Well it's good to know someone has the decency to wake up."
Suddenly there was a small pop and a man sat in the chair before her.
"Well at least I wasn't asleep for almost a full week."
Both of them glared at each other and then burst into laughter at the same time.
"I was asleep for almost a week?"
"You were, but I don't blame you. Snape felt guilty that he had hid in his room, so just stood next to your bed, and watched you. The only time he would leave was to teach, eat, and sleep. That was until yesterday anyway. I think he thought you would sleep for at least a month, but he was wrong.
Sirius added, "I'd sleep as long as he stood over me. Even if I did wake up, I'd go back to sleep because of the shock of seeing his face."
He shuddered.
Sarina stared at Sirius for a moment, thinking, and then she asked, "What happened after I blacked out?"
"Well I wasn't there, but from what I heard from Harry and Dumbledore nothing happened. Everyone just stared at the place where You-Know-Who disappeared. Then Dumbledore arrived with Mcgonagall just after that. The first thing he did was check your pulse. You were still alive but just barely, so, he told Mcgonagall and Snape to carry you up to the hospital wing. With the other teachers gone, he asked the students to tell him what happened. After a while, he got most of the details, so he left and told the students to go to their dorms and stay there."
"I have one question for you, Padfoot. When did you come into this mess?"
"I got here 21 minuets and 32 seconds after you went to the hospital wing."
"Funny" Sarina was a bout to say more when she heard footsteps. Sirius changed back into a dog just as a very tired Madame Pomfrey rounded the corner.
"Oh, you're up, Professor. I'll go get Professor Dumbledore, right away."
She was about to leave when a voice sounded through the room.
"No need Poppy," came a voice behind her, "I'm already here."
Dumbledore emerged from the doorway he had been standing in. He chuckled as he looked around the room to see a dog sitting in a chair.
"I do think," Dumbledore, said as he glanced at the dog, " that you should leave, Poppy. I need to talk to Professor Fain alone for a bit."
"Fine with me. I do need a bit of sleep." Madame Pomfrey sounded as if she was offended that Dumbledore wouldn't tell her, but she wouldn't show that. So, Poppy left without another word on the subject.
After waiting for Madame Pomfrey to leave, Sirius changed back into a man.
"Albus, why did Voldemort try and kill Sarina after she pushed Harry out of the way?" he asked.
"I'm not sure, but I believe that he wanted to save face when Sarina realized it had been a trick. He did make it clear that he wanted to capture Harry, or he would have used another form as a disguise. My guess is that if Harry had touched Voldemort, the pain would have overwhelmed him and causing him to faint. Then Voldemort could have removed him without any problems. I also believe that with Harry imprisoned, Voldemort could have harnessed his power and used it to conquer the wizarding world."
