Chapter 3

Severus Snape a man who prided himself on his emotional control flew down the halls of Hogwarts being careful not to damage potter any more than he probably already was. When Severus reached the hospital wing he put Harry on a bed and yelled for madam Pomfrey at the top of his lungs.

'POPPY... POPPY! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GET OUT HERE!'

'Severus this is a hospit... dear Merlin what happened to him'

'Mr Weasely pushed him down the stairs'

'Out, out let me look at him.'

Instead of leaving Snape sat on the bed next to Harry's while poppy pulled the privacy curtain. Around so she could look over Harry with out interruption and that's how Minerva found him when she arrived,

'Any news Severus?'

'No none' Snape said monotone

'You care for that boy as much as he does you don't you Severus?'

'Does it matter what I feel for the boy? How do we know that what happened in potions to day wasn't a by product of what ever potion was slipped in to the pumpkin juice?'

'Of course it matters Severus and I'm sure that he meant every word he said today'

'You know if Albus was here he would be reminding me that there's no rule against student teacher relationships. But I'm old enough to be the boy's father his parents would be turning in their graves right about now'

Mean while

The students had been made to re-enter the great hall and were all discussing the incident in the entrance hall when the doors of the great hall opened and stood there was a great bear of a dog the dog started walking forward as it walked in to the hall it transformed becoming a person slowly the figure of Sirius Black was reviled and he started to sing voice crackling from lack of use

Who's lonely now?

Which one of us is suffering?

Who's in his cups? Which one of us recovering?

Who likes to look at pictures and cries, but way too late?

Who doesn't want to change a thing, accepting it was fate?

The entire hall was silent scared of the convicted murder that was now standing in their midst.

The wrong man was convicted

You know I did the deed

I thought that you would wait for me

Your wants I needn't heed

The wrong man lies beside you

And waits for you to wake

And all because I lacked conviction,

The judgment's my mistake

Who's breathless now?

Who only hyperventilates?

Who'd die for you! Who's dying inside anyway?

Which one of us is sunshine and which one's growing dim?

While two men dream of you at night, do you just dream of him?

If any one had dared to look they would have seen tears running down his cheeks.

The wrong man was convicted

You know I did the deed

I thought that you would wait for me

Your wants I needn't heed

The wrong man lies beside you

And waits for you to wake

And all because I lacked conviction,

The judgment's my mistake

Who's lonely now?

Who's reaching out to no one?

Who's lonely now?

It takes one to know one

I changed my mind; you said that I could change it back

I wanted space, and now change has fallen through the cracks

If I'm again beside your body, don't tell me where it's been

It's cruel, unusual punishment to kiss fingerprinted skin

By now Sirius had reached the front of the hall and fell on to his knees in front of the head table.

The wrong man was convicted

You know I did the deed

I thought that you would wait for me

Your wants I needn't heed

The wrong man lies beside you

And waits for you to wake

And all because I lacked conviction,

The judgment's my mistake

It's my mistake

Sirius knelt on the floor and flushed in embarrassment he stood and brushed dust off his knees.

'Uumm hi'

'What are you doing here?' asked professor Lupin (who had come back to teach again)

'Oh come on Mooney you going to tell me that you haven't heard?'

'Heard what?'

'Hold on give me a minute' said Sirius as he dug through his robes 'aha here it is' he exclaimed holding up a copy of the daily prophet

Unfolding it he turned the front page to Remus 'this is a copy of tomorrows daily prophet the head line is really interesting don't you think?'

There in bold letters on the front cover of the paper were the words:

Sirius Black cleared Pettegrew alive

Then Sirius began to read

'It has been realised that Sirius black yesterday (meaning today) entered the ministry of magic dragging with him what people believed to be the body of one peter Pettegrew until black revived him whilst surrounded by aurors'

'You know you could have been killed' interrupted Lupin

'A risk I was willing to take Mooney and don't interrupt its rude where was I... ah yes whilst most ministry officials are baffled by this veritaserum was administered with ministry approval to verify that it was indeed Pettegrew he admitted to being an illegal animagus and to spending twelve years disguised as a pet rat by the name of scabbers and to framing black for his murder and blowing up a street full of muggles'

'So in other words they've let an ex-marauder with time on his hands lose on the world'

'Yepp that about sums it up' said Sirius he turned to look at the Griffindor table and then back up at Remus

'Remus where's Harry?'

'Sirius I think that we need to talk out side the hall'

'Remus what's going on'?

'Sirius out'

Sirius turned and started towards the doors and threw the newspaper he had been carrying down on the hufflepuff table where the closest student snatched it up

'I would suggest that all students go back to your common rooms I dare say that classes will be cancelled for the rest of the day any way.' Said Remus

The other teachers agreed and Trelawney who had made a rare appearance said 'I saw this coming you know whilst I was crystal gazing'

But everyone ignored her and left the hall

Dumbledore's office

Ron sat in a cushy armchair in front of Dumbledore sweating

'I'm very disappointed in you Mr Weasely you will receive two months worth of detentions and Griffindor will lose 500 house points' said Albus his eyes totally devoid of their usual twinkle.

'Your not going to expel me?'

'Not this time you will spend one month detention in the hospital wing with madam Pomfrey and the second month with professor Snape your parents will be contacted tonight now go back to your common room'

'Yes professor' with that Ron got up and walked out of Albus's office

Hospital wing

Poppy was just finishing up when she heard a lot of commotion out side the curtains.

'Sirius calm down'

'CALM? I AM CALM!!'

'Sirius I know your upset but you need to stop shouting'

'WHO'S SHOUTING'

'Sirius sit down'

'No'

'Sit down!'

'No I wont sit down until I know he's alright'

'SIRIUS PHINEAS BLACK SIT YOUR ARSE DOWN NOW' yelled Lupin

With that Sirius sat him self on the end of the same bed as Snape so as to keep the werewolf from getting any angrier.

'What are you doing here any way black? Aren't you still on the run?'

'For your information Snape I was cleared this morning and that's my godson laying in that bad'

'And it's my future lover' mumbles Snape and Sirius glare at each other

'WHAT DID YOU SAY?' yells Sirius.

'I said Mr. Ronald Weasely pushed him down the stairs'

'Why would Ron push Harry down the stairs?'

'Because Ronald does not like the fact that the famous Harry potter is in fact gay that's why Ronald pushed him down the stairs'

'No you're lying'

'No black it's the truth'

Sirius mad throws a punch at Snape but Remus catches the fist and turns to Sirius his amber eyes glowing gold like cats in the dark, which caused a chill to run up Sirius's spine.

'Remie do you have to do that it's creepy'

Remus made a sound like a growl in the back of his throat

'If that is what it takes to stop you from pounding his face in then yes I bloody well do have to' snarled Remus

'If you men are going to fight please do it out side this is a hospital not an arena' said madam Pomfrey

'How is he poppy?' asked Minerva

'Well I have healed the nasty crack in the back of his head he also had a broken wrist a couple of cracked ribs it's a good job that he took to wearing those contact lenses else he would have been blinded by glass in his eyes'

'So he's lucky to be alive and not blinded' said Sirius quietly before wrenching his arm out of Remus' grip and running towards the infirmary doors transforming half way

'SIRIUS!!!!!' yelled Remus

'He's probably gone up to Griffindor tower' said Minerva

I'll go after him god knows what that man will do once he gets up there' said Remus

Well that does it for another chapter this chapter is full of a load of dribble. I must also warn you that most of this chapter was written under the influence of alcohol. Song used in this chapter was the wrong man was convicted, by the barenaked ladies

I don't own any thing if you sue all I can give you is a pitiful twenty- five pounds and twenty pence gomen nasi

Next chapter:

Ron gets a talking to from Sirius.

More singing.

And maybe Harry will find out if Snape returns his feelings.
