Well I'm back!! Terribly sorry for the delay I know it has been a very, very, very long time since I updated but my muses were on strike and they had some demands that I could just not meet. Anyway I'll blab more at the end. On with the story!
Bright lights assaulted Harry's eyes as he slowly came back into reality. Sleepily he reached over to the table beside his bed and grabbed his glasses and put them on, and for the first time he realized he was not in his room at the Dursley's house. He had never seen this place before, it looked like the infirmary at Hogwarts but different and much smaller. The room was only occupied by two beds, his and an empty one on his left, and a disheveled looking witch who sat sleeping in a chair by his bed.
After a few moments of trying to figure out where he was he sat up and gently touched the witch's arm. "Excuse me, Miss?" Slowly, the witch woke and when she saw him she became very excited.
"You're awake! Do you need anything, are you hungry, thirsty?"
"No thank you....Um... Excuse me but, where am I?" Harry asked. "St. Mungo's, dear. You've been here for almost a month now."
"A month?" Harry gasped
The nurse had a look on her face that Harry could not quite read. It seemed to be a cross between pity and guilt.
"Do you know what happened, Harry? Do you know what happened to the Dursley's?" The look of pity became much more etched in the old witch's face.
Flashbacks of that night began playing in his head. 'Yeah I destroyed them, cut them up and made the fat little pig watch it all before he got his turn to play in the game.' He thought. But out loud he said "I don't really remember it's all kind of a blur."
"That is probably for the best, I am not the one to explain those things to you... I will leave that to the Minister. Give me a moment child, I must go inform the Minister that you are awake. He will come speak to you."
The old witch hoisted herself out of the chair and walked- rather, she shuffled out of the room, turning back once to look at the boy and give him a smile.
Harry sat by himself for several minutes silently remembering what he had done with satisfaction. He had beaten them, he, Harry Potter, had beaten an enemy that to him was more deadly than Lord Voldemort himself. He sat like this for fifteen minutes simply basking when his visions were interrupted by Cornelius Fudge tapping quietly on the door of his room.
"Harry are you awake?"
"Yes, Yes I am. Oh, hello Minister."
"Hello Harry."
Fudge approached the boy a look of sadness in his eyes and like the old witch a look of pity. Did everyone pity him? Did they think he was a poor little boy who had lost his guardians? Did the even know he was the one who cut the line? If this was the case who was the poor fellow who they thought did it, Harry would just have to wait and find out. Fudge sat in the chair that the old witch had been sitting in and stared at Harry for a moment before beginning. "Harry, do you know what happened to the Dursley's almost a month ago?"
"N..No Sir what happened to them?"
The Minister of Magic shook his head and began to deliver the grim news to the boy. "Harry....the Dursleys... they were brutally murdered in your home." Harry faked a look of shock. "The man who attacked them came after you but the Ministry of Magic arrived at the house before he could succeed." Harry did his best to look shocked and horrified. "Did you catch the man, Minister?" "Yes Harry, we did, and the dementors gave him the kiss three days after he was caught."
Harry's eyes grew wide.
"Minister, just who was the man that you caught?" Harry asked shocked that they had already given such a drastic punishment to someone who was in fact innocent.
Slowly the man replied. "Sirius Black."
Well there is chapter three for ya. Ok I know it is still rather short but at least it is longer than my last chapters. I want to thank all of my reviewers I had basically abandoned this story but the recent reviews I have gotten made me decide to bring this one out of the closet dust it off and work on it. I promise that I will put out longer chapters and I will updated as soon as I can. I also want to thank my lovely beta Meg aka GriffindorGirley for without her this story's grammar would be terrible! And don't forget REVIEW! If you love it TELL ME and if you hate it TELL ME!
Until next Time Tally Daddys-lil-reject
