A/N : Ok guys I'm posting twice in the same week to apologise for the lack in posting these last few weeks. Unfortunately because I wrote this quickly it is not terribly long, but its better than nothing!

Summary: Post OotP Harry receives a 'what if' stone for his birthday and gets thrown into an alternate reality where Sirius was the potter's secret keeper imagine a world with an alive Lily, James and Sirius, and a rather confused Harry. (As usual this will not be slash…I don't write it.)

What if

Chapter Ten

Broken

Harry was semi-conscious lying on a hard, uncomfortable bed. He couldn't move and didn't really feel like he cared. Then he heard someone talking not too far away. He strained his ears and managed to catch most of what was said.

"…Have you got the results yet?"

"Really…but that's not possible…it can't…he can't be for real, he was nothing like himself. Completely out of sorts."

"You must have missed something, he was just so awful, he must have been cursed. Are you completely sure he wasn't?"

"Remarkable, we all have bad days but…"

Harry heard the voices slowly fade and a door close. He slowly regained feeling in his body, he didn't feel brilliant, like he'd tried to take on the Whomping willow…and lost.

He opened his eyes, without his glasses he could only make out a blurry room, which looked like the hospital wing. 'Why am I in this hell hole?' He thought angrily. The memories then trickled back to him. He had been stunned by his old friends and teachers…half of which he'd killed three years prior.

"Damn," He muttered.

Harry groaned and closed his eyes again, He slowly went through the side effects of all the potions and drugs he could remember, so he could pin down what he had taken to cause such a bad hallucination. 'There's no way that really happened, dead people don't just come back to life, I wish they bloody did,' He thought.

His mind wouldn't concentrate though; he kept seeing Hermione's worried face, she looked so different and old like she had continued to live these past three years. They all looked so happy, so carefree. Harry felt his stomach turn like he wanted to be sick. 'Ok Harry don't think about it. Forget…' He thought, banishing the damaging emotions away.

"Come on now Harry, you wouldn't want to thaw your frozen heart now would you?" He muttered to himself.

He opened his eyes again; time to figure out what really happened. He reached around blindly for his glasses, found them on the side table and put them on, weird they were a different shape to the ones he usually wore.

The world came into focus; Harry was annoyed to find he was right. He was in the hospital wing at Hogwarts. This meant he would have to find out what really happened, this probably meant he was in trouble. 'Dad will be so mad when he finds out.' He thought.

'Perhaps I'll just run away, instead.' Harry thought. He'd done it before, when in trouble he would just leave for a few nights. 'Mum and dad get so worried that I've topped myself that they forget about what I've done…those idiots it works every time.' He thought smirking to himself.

Suddenly Harry realised he was not alone in the room, there was someone sitting up in a bed across from him. Professor Snape's black eyes were cold staring straight at him.

"Well hello, Sunshine." Harry said sarcastically.

"It's worth you knowing that if the headmaster had not told me I would get fired, I would kill you." Snape had no hint of humour in his voice which surprised Harry, Snape was never that aggressive to him, even when he pushed him too far.

"That's a shame I would love to have seen you try. What did I do this time? Turn your defence office into a brothel?" Harry said mockingly.

"I see you have not lost your insolence, and you will pay dearly for it, the very least you will get, Potter, is a Quidditch life ban, the most is expulsion. I am hoping for expulsion so I do not have so see you sorry face around here again."

Harry was completely shocked and enraged by Snape's attitude; no one spoke that way to him anymore. They always learnt to keep their mouth shut. Harry's anger radiated from him but the hospital doors slammed open before he could even open his mouth to send a curse.

"Good Mr Potter you are awake, how are you feeling?" Dumbledore said.

"Like the head of the Slytherin house should be publicly executed," Harry said fiercely.

Dumbledore chuckled lightly. "Why are you laughing?" Harry had not meant it as a joke, Albus should know better than to laugh at a threat.

Sensing the pure anger coming from Harry, Dumbledore said "Severus" in a commanding voice, who got out of bed. (Harry happily noticed he was covered in bandages.) Then limped out of the room, not before muttering 'watch your back potter'. Harry just growled in return.

Harry turned back to the Minister of magic (*or so he thought*) and said. "What?" harshly.

"Harry, I came here to apologise, for allowing you to be stunned. We were all convinced you were not Harry Potter. Moody said your essence, or aura if you like, looked completely different. He thought you were dark. Well he still does, but I need to hear you are not. I also need to know why you harmed a professor."

Harry looked angrily at Albus. "So you're telling me all that really happened?"

Dumbledore looked slightly confused. "Well, yes of course."

"Then what explanation do you have for the Griffindor students being there, when I killed them three years ago? They're all dead, don't you dare sit there and tell me they are not." Harry's voice got louder as he spoke.

"Harry what are you talking about? You haven't killed anyone. I know you feel responsible for Sirius' death, but. -"

"Sirius is not dead, nothing can kill a werewolf other than silver, and you know that. Or has the 'infallible mighty Minister of magic' forgotten something?" Harry cut aggressively across Albus' sentence.

"Harry, I want to believe you, but you are not making sense. Help me understand why you are acting so oddly." Dumbledore remained calm.

"For God's sake what don't you understand, old man?! Why don't you just punish me, then go bitch to my parents as usual?" Harry said bitterly, he was growing tired of this.

"Harry, what happened to your memory? Your parents died a long time ago. I think I better get Madame Pomfrey you seem to be unwell."

Dumbledore rose as if to get the nurse, but Harry had, had enough. His extremely short patience had been pushed to its limits while talking to this fool. He stood up on the bed and allowed his anger to build. Despite Dumbledore's protests. After a moment the air was thick with magic, crackling. All a sudden was an almighty explosion, and the windows shattered inwards covering him and Albus with shards of glass.

Harry grinned in his creepy lopsided way. He stretched and the fatigue in his muscles from being stunned repeatedly diminished. Despite all the glass Harry remarkably did not have a scratch.

He hoped over to where Dumbledore was slowly standing and brushing the glass off his robes. He looked at Harry. "You shouldn't have done that," he said tiredly.

"No," said Harry shaking the sparkling glass out of his thick black hair, "You shouldn't have said that." And with that Harry transformed into his Animagus form, a beautiful scarlet phoenix, he spread his giant wings and soared out of the broken window. He flew over the school ground and over the forbidden forest, the direction southeast. The destination, home.

'I'll prove that fool wrong when I get back home and my parents are there.' Harry thought as he followed the learnt route back to the Order Headquarters, soaring high above the treetops, flitting smoothly in and out of the clouds.

A/N : Reviews…

Drusilla() : He he, read the next chapter to find out what happens.

Saxistwriterchick : Cool chant *joins in* MORE! MORE!

Silvercrystal77 : Yeah that was pretty hard on ol' Harry, especially when in the other world Molly is so motherly to him. Its worth bearing in mind how ridiculously overprotective she is of her children. Also Harry has no reputation to keep up in this world, he never defeated the dark lord at one year old. So Molly has no reason to think Harry is good and is innocent.

deranged black kitten of doom : Here you go! Nice and speedy!

Padfootlet : *smiles* did someone say cookie? *Drools* I like cookies!

eruve tinwen : Yeah everyone seems quite taken with my idea of random pieces of armour attacking Harry. Cruel people! Yes yet another cliffy! Cliffiemania humm yes I like that description.

Gilthas : Ello, sorry bout the lack of response to review, I explained in the e-mail why! It's weird; I'm not so fond of evil pieces of armour, which start to attack me for no reason either! I'm not sure why though! Sirius would be useful at a time like this. I'm not saying anything though! Yep you were right about the whole leaving him hanging for a chapter, so I could write a chapter on the other Harry. Lol I'm so evil mwhahahahahahaha!!!!

Erm *looks embarrassed* so yeah, Update 'HRI' please! Or I may be forced to not update for ages again! Joking…I think.

chocoliciouz() : Sorry, please don't be in a huff! I'm only human. (Well I do wonder sometimes…)

SetsunaFanGirl() : Thank you very much! More dark Harry in this chapter.

BabyBlu4 : Horray another chapter!

Authoress : Thanks.

KatFay : I'm evil! I'm not the one calling poor little Harry a creep! Lol no your right I am evil, the Dr keeps trying to make me take 'Good' pills but I just hide them…

Juniper Kiayla : Evil people like an evil Harry. I say the word evil a lot…

Limegreenlion() : Nice name. I am trying hard to get more written. Bear with me.

Snowman1400 : Umm I don't know where the armour idea came from, weird. Sorry I'm writing as fast as I can manage, I just don't have the time at the moment.

A/N : Hey sorry for leaving you (and Harry) hanging in the last chapter, but that's the way I write! We're back with normal Harry in the next chapter. Oh and don't worry there is a reason Harry's an Animagus, but I'm not sure when it will be, probably next chapter, you may remember ages ago, Sirius said to Harry "I thought birds were supposed to be faster than dogs" but I guess no one picked up on that! Anyway, Please review; I appreciate your comments, ideas and anything else!
