A/N: Hello all! I'm baaaaaaack!!!! How are you all doing? It's so hot here

today! It has to be at least 85º… maybe more. Anyways, here's more!

"Thank you," Remus said as the waiter handed him his dinner. He was thoroughly

enjoying his night out with Christina. Things had been so crazy lately with

Harry that they hadn't been able to get out for a while.

"So anyways," Christina continued. "When I was four my family moved from New

York to California because my dad got a better job offering. I don't remember it

really that much, but I know my sister, Mandy, was pretty upset. She was nine at

the time and she didn't want to leave her friends…"

Remus smiled. He was getting to know Christina better and better each day. 'But

is she more than a friend?' the question came up often in his mind, but h knew

there was no way… He couldn't… He was a wizard, a werewolf. And she was a

muggle, wasn't she?

'She has to be,' he thought. 'She studies muggle medicine. If she were a witch

then she wouldn't be. And her family is all muggles. 'She could be muggle born.'

Remus sighed. He wasn't sure what to think about Christina anymore. He went back

to listening to her talk.

"Will you tell them for me?" Harry asked.

"Of course, but are you sure this is what you want to do?"

"Yes."

"You can't change your mind…"

"I know, this is what I want to do, I need this."

"Okay, good luck, Harry."

Harry was surrounded by thick purple smoke and felt himself being taken away.

"This is it," he told himself. "I can't turn back now."

~*~ ~*~ ~*~

Harry felt as if his body was on fire. Dimly through the fog, he heard voices

talking.

"Come on, Sirius," someone said. "You have barely left this room in three

months! Just come with us for once. Harry will be fine."

"No."

"Don't start this again, Sirius…"

'Sirius?' Harry thought, not really comprehending what was going on.

"I'm not leaving, Remus."

"Fine, we won't go out then. Just come down to the cafeteria with us. Get some

fresh air."

Sirius was silent.

"It'll only take a few minutes. Please Sir?"

Sirius sighed and nodded reluctantly. He really didn't want to leave Harry, but

Remus would not leave him alone.

"Only for a few minutes." He said, getting up. "I'll be right back, Harry." He

whispered, bending down and kissing his forehead softly.

'No!' Harry wanted to scream out. 'Don't leave me! Don't go, Siri!'

"Come, on."Sirius said. "Let's get this over with."

Harry heard his footsteps moving away and fought to regain his voice. All he

could manage was a soft cry but it was enough.

"Harry?" Sirius asked, rushing back to his side. "Harry, can you hear me?"

Harry whimpered softly.

"Oh Harry!" Sirius whispered, pulling him into a gently hug. "Oh, god, Harry!"

Harry felt something roll down his cheeks. 'I'm crying.' He thought.

"Shh. It's okay, Harry. I'm here. Shh. you're okay, Buddy. Everything's going to

be alright. You're safe. I'm not leaving."

Harry tried to talk, but found he couldn't. There was something in his throat

and he started to panic.

"Easy Harry," Sirius whispered. "Calm down. You're fine. Just calm down, Bud."

"Everyone please leave," Dr. McDaniel said, entering the room. "I must check on

Harry."

"No."

"Mr. Black! We have been through this many times already! Now I must insist that

you leave this time!"

"Dr.," Christina started. "What if he moved to the end of the bed? He surely

wouldn't be in your way there, and that way you won't have him banging the door

down…"

Dr. McDaniel looked at her like she was insane, but agreed.

Sirius moved to the end of the bed. "I'm still here, Harry." He said.

"Now let's see what we've got here," Dr. McDaniel took charge once again.

"You guys go on ahead." Sirius said. "I'm staying with Harry. Go have a good

time."

"Are you sure, Sirius?" Remus asked. "Don't you want some company?"

"Go on, Moony, I'll be fine, I have Harry."

"Fine, I'll come back as soon as I can."

"Take as long as you want."

Sirius sighed and turned back to the sleeping boy in his arms. The past few

hours had been horrible on him. Watching Harry panic and not being able to do

anything had hurt him so much. But Harry had calmed down, eventually, after the

tube had been taken out of his throat, and the doctors had stopped poking and

probing him. Now he lay sleeping contently in Sirius' arms.

"Welcome back, Harry." He whispered. "I've missed you." Sirius gathered the

small boy in his arms tighter and fell into a long needed, deep sleep.

A/N: Sorry this is short; I'm once again having a hard time writing…

I've been pretty stressed out lately. At school, no reviews. Bye! Later!
