Snug as a bug in a rug... Kinda.
-Tear- I heart3 reviews!!!
Harry's shivering had begun to loose a bit of its fierceness as Albus walked with them to the Hospital Wing, where Harry could be looked at by Madam Pomfrey, and changed back to his regular form. When they got there they were surprised when Harry could not be changed back by a general reversal spell. Pompy just went on ahead warming and feeding Harry in puppy form since he needed it badly no matter his form. She also gently cleaned the clotted blood off of Harry's forehead and muzzle, along with some on his paws. (Using it to verify his identity) After that, she worked to get the PJ top off of him without waking him, as he finally just fell into an exhausted sleep in her arms after a small bottle of warm milk and two more warming charms. She cuddled him gently in the crook of her arm as she mussed up the sheets on one of the beds to make a nest of sorts to lay him in, before she covered him with layers of thick warm blankets and comforters as he was quite cold still. When she was done, all you could see was a small black nose and a bit of white muzzle sticking out, and a slight rise and fall of the mound of sheets.
Albus and Severus had been speaking quietly in the corner while Pompy had been working and she now joined them. "Why won't he change back?" she asked, a bit worried. "I believe that Lily did not transfigure Harry." Albus said. Receiving a shocked face from the nurse, and a confused one from Severus. "I need to look in my private library, but sometimes, when I child sees something so traumatic, or has to go through something horrendous for such a long period; their magic actually changes them into a comforting form to help them deal. Voldemort's attack and the deaths must have shocked him badly," Albus guessed. Pompy nodded. "The wolf form would be the most comforting one for the boy." "Harry hates the dark too. and there was no light down there." Severus recalled.
"I do recall one case," Dumbledore added, "It happened to a Magical Creature Breeder's daughter after she was locked in a closet with a bogart for two hours; except she turned into a lion. We'll just have to look into some cures and keep a good eye on Harry in the meantime." Both nodded and Albus headed off for the library. Pompy asked Severus to watch over Harry as she went to dig out any relevant Medical Journal. Severus stood by Harry's bed, and then eventually sat on a chair next to the bed when Pompy took her time returning. Nearly crushing the photos in his pocket. He pulled them out and flipped through them again.
There was a picture of Harry, in human form, with his small arms around Severus' neck as he was in his wolf form. One of Harry riding Sirius as he raced in circles around Remus, and one of James and Lily sitting on the grass, a barely standing on his own Harry holding out a small flower he had picked for them. He had planned to send the photo of Harry, Sirius, and Remus to them. to help with their grief; but the knowledge that Harry was alive would probably be better for them to hear before the next full moon. He made plans to go see them in person as soon as Pompy returned to keep an eye on Harry.

Will have another chapter up tomorrow hopefully. before I drive down to my parents house to celebrate thanksgiving with the family.
