As Harry stepped through the veil he felt a sensation like he was spinning very fast in circles. He landed with a thud on the hard stone floor. He sat up and rubbed his head.

"Ow."

"My sentiments exactly." Harry heard a familiar voice from behind him.

"Sirus?" He snapped around to see his God-father smiling and rubbing his chest.

"In the flesh, or at least I think I am." He laughed.

Harry ran to hug him, tears rolling down his cheek. He wasn't dead after all.

"Whoa, Harry, why are you crying?"

"I thought you were dead." He said, explaining everything. When he was done Sirus rubbed his head.

"So, you came back from the future, and your mother's ring had powers, and…oh, this is too much to comprehend."

"That's okay Sirus, we can talk about it later, but now we need to figure out how to get out of here." Harry looked around at where they were. It was like a stone dungeon with a window toward the top but the top was about 50 feet up. The window was draped with the same fabric as the veil. The rest of the room was just stone walls, no way out besides that window.

"Sirus, that has got to be the way out." Harry pointed to the window.

"Probably, but we can't get up there, its too high." Sirus sighed, sitting on the cold floor.

Harry sat down beside him. "There's got to be another way. There just has to."

On the other side of the veil Ron and Hermione had returned awestruck from watching Dumbledore and Voldemort battling it out. It was over now, and their time was almost up. As they walked back into the room Hermione noticed that Harry wasn't there.

"Ron, he's not here. He has to be! He has to come back." She ran to Ron and began heaving sobs into his chest. He stroked her hair and talked to her softly.

"Hermione, he'll be fine. Dumbledore will know what to do. Don't worry about it." Ron reassured her, although inside, he was very worried about his best friend as well.

He put the chain around their necks as the last of the sand ran out and they left the room behind only to appear in Dumbledore's office as they were before, only this time, they were without the Boy Who Lived. They explained to a silent Dumbledore, his eyes glimmering under half-moon spectacles.

"We shall deal with this problem tomorrow, but now I ask that you return to your rooms, Harry will be safe, I assure you."

5 Days Later

"Sirus, I don't know how much longer I can make it." Harry whispered. His body was beginning to give out from lack of food or water but he refused to give up.

"Harry, don't worry, everything will turn out okay in the end." Sirus gave a reassuring smile and laid back with a sigh on the hard stone floor, drifting off to sleep. Sleep was their only escape from the pain that plagued their bodies. Harry laid back and tried to do the same. His stomach growled loudly and he began to cry. His body was so dehydrated that all that came out was a few dry sobs.

"Sirus, there has got to be a way out, I just wish I had my wand." Harry sighed. There was no answer from his God-Father so he realized he must had fallen asleep. He laid back again and instead of just falling to sleep, he fell into an unconscious sleep.

Sirus woke up and tried to wake Harry when he heard noises from the window above. Harry would not wake up so Sirus slapped him hard on the cheek, this did it.

"Ow, what was that for?" He said quietly but irritably rubbing his cheek.

Sirus pushed himself up and pointed toward the window at the ceiling. "There's something going on up there." He whispered.

Harry looked up and listened hard, he heard voices! They were saved. A rope ladder came though the window and Harry and Sirus used all their strength they had left to climb the ladder. The fresh air both made them faint.

"Oh Merlin Ron, look at them." Hermione cried. She was right, they looked horrible. Their faces were sunken in from the lack of food and water, and their skin was a pale yellow color.

The two were transported to the Hospital Wing at Hogwarts where Madam Pomfrey was beside herself. Ginny sat up in bed when they came in with them, a worrisome smile crossing her face. At least they were alive. She got up out of bed and walked over to where Harry lay. His eyes were closed tightly and he looked like something out of a horror movie. Tears began streaming down her cheeks as she looked at the one she loved laying unconscious on the bed.

She removed the golden snitch necklace from her neck and placed it around Harry's and kissed his forehead then walked over to Sirus. He looked like he had just gotten out of Azkaban, it scared her so much she had to look away. Madam Pomfrey came out of her office and ushered her back to her own bed. She lay down and said a small prayer for the two of them before falling asleep, her body still wasn't back to normal yet.
