Remus apparated to the gate to Hogwarts. Looking up at the castle, he felt a sudden urge
to hurt the headmaster, make him feel all the pain he had put Harry through. "But he
didn't do it!" a voice inside his head screamed. "He didn't hit Harry, it wasn't his fault!"
'But he put Harry with them. He was the one who had said Harry was safer with Them
than with Remus, surely he couldn't have known something like this would happen, could
he?" Remus sighed and took off towards the castle, the only thing on his mind was
getting back to Harry as fast as possible. Something told him that something had
happened.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
"Ah, Remus, you're back. Perhaps you would be kind enough to inform me why Harry is
no longer with his family." Dumbledore said, indicating to the usually green but now red
globe on his desk.
Remus felt the anger boiling up inside him once again. "WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME!"
he shouted. " Oh, wait, I forgot. You couldn't tell me because you obviously don't care
enough about Harry to protect him enough! Oh, sure you can tell if any dark magic is
going on there, there are wards everywhere! Things Harry CAN protect himself against,
you have protected him from, but what about the one thing he can't? What about the one
thing he can't protect himself from? What about his own 'family'?"
"Remus! Slow down! What are you talking about?"
Remus took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Harry is currently in the
hospital fighting for his life because YOU sent him to live with those muggles! YOU
promised he would be all right there. YOU promised there was no way he could be hurt.
YOU said he'd be safer there than with me! YOU promised! Now, if you would excuse
me, I have to get back t Harry and Sirius." And with that, Remus left a very shocked and
confused headmaster wondering what had just happened.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
Remus walked through the hospital back to Harry's room. Something didn't feel right.
"Sirius?" he asked, seeing Sirius standing outside Harry's room watching through the
window. This definitely wasn't good. "Sirius what happened?"
"His heart stopped. Oh, God, Moony, he's not gonna make it!"
"Sirius! Slow down and explain!"
Sirius took a deep and shaky breath. "I was just sitting there, holding his hand, and, and,
it just stopped…"
"What stopped?"
"His heart, oh god, Moony, they couldn't get it going again…"
Remus glanced through the window. "It's beating now, Sir."
"No, that's the machine, the machine is keeping him alive…"
"Sirius? Sirius, he's gonna be okay."
Sirius didn't answer, he just returned to watching the doctors insert tubes into his
godson's body.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
A few hours later, Dr. McDaniel finally came out. Sirius looked up.
Dr. McDaniel sighed. "It will take a miracle to keep him alive."
Sirius just sat there as if he hadn't heard a thing the doctor said.
"Sirius?" Remus asked, putting his hand on his friend's shoulder.
Suddenly, Sirius snapped back into life. "I have to see him!" he said, bolting through the
open door.
"Mr. Black!" Dr. McDaniel called. "You are not allowed in there!"
"Wait," Remus said. "You said it would take a miracle for Harry to survive?"
Dr. McDaniel nodded.
"Then let Sirius stay. He's the miracle Harry needs. I'm sure of it."
Dr. McDaniel hesitated, not really sure of what Remus meant, but finally agreed, and left
telling Remus to call him if anything happened.
Remus sighed and collapsed onto the chair outside Harry's room, and buried his face in
his hands.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
Sirius slowed dramatically when he reached Harry's side. "Harry?" he whispered,
dropping to his knees beside him. "Harry, please get better. Please. Don't keep doing this
to me, it isn't funny. It isn't funny at all! Come on, Harry, just wake up! Wake up and tell
me that this is one big joke to get back at me for not being around. Tell me anything! Just
please wake up!" Sirius was crying freely now.
"I've never gotten to tell you how much you mean to me, Bud. I know how much you
don't like being compared to your father every single thing you do, and I don't blame
you. You are not your father, Harry, and you never will be. And I know you hate being
'The-Boy-Who-Lived' also. Don't think I haven't been listening, Har, because I have.
I've listened to everything you've ever said and I've read between the lines. But, can I let
you in on a little secret?
"To me, you have never been 'The-Boy-Who-Lived', never. And you never will be…"
Sirius paused. "But I have to admit something to you. When I first escaped Azkaban, I
had only one thing on my mind. To protect you. To protect 'James's son'. Nothing else.
But know I know you, Harry. I know Harry, my godson, the one person in this world that
I can't live without."
"I need you, Harry. I need only you. If I am never proven innocent, then that will be
okay, as long as I have you. Please, don't leave me, Buddy. I need you… I love you,
Harry…" Sirius crawled carefully onto the bed and lay down next to Harry, burying his
face in Harry's hair and sobbed.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
Harry walked through the golden mist. "Where am I?" he asked himself. He couldn't
remember anything that had happened in the past 72 hours. Harry kept walking until he
came upon a small log house. He saw a face glance out the window, then heard some
yelling, and a woman with red hair came running out towards him followed closely by a
man who looked a lot like Harry.
"Harry!" the woman cried.
"It can't be." Harry whispered as he sank to his knees. "Mom? Dad?"
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
A/N: Good? Bad? How was the scene with Sirius? Very soppy huh? Can't talk anymore,
at school and gotta update in the next 2 minutes!
