Part/Chapter: 11

Dumbledore went came home around seven the next morning. He walked into the house and sat in the common room. He thought he would greet everyone as they walked in to the dinning room. He waited an hour and no one had yet to come through the room and he hadn't heard any noises. So he got p when to the library picked up a book he was reading and went back into the common room. At eight thirty Herms walked into the house. He greeted Albus and proceeded to the dinning room.

At eight forty-five Jets came in. He again greeted Albus and went in to the dinning room. At nine Dumbledore was hungry and tired of waiting for everyone got and also went into the dinning room. He called Coco to get breakfast out for them. Coco agreed eagerly. The three of them sat and talked about the day before events and what was going on today. After twenty minutes Tonks came in. Then five after she came in Remus. They both looked refreshed and awake. Finally at nine eighteen Serverus came in. He said hi and went into the kitchen. He came out with some food and walked out the way he first came in. Albus not knowing Harry wasn't aloud to leave bed was very confused and worried about Harry. Jets and Herms were also confused. Rumus and Tonks kept eating in a normal fashion. After they were done the said they had to go see some friends. Jets and Herms were also going to go see some friends (not together) and left.

Dumbledore got up and walked up to Serverus's room. He walked in and found no one in it. He walked to the next door because he heard movement and knocked. He heard Serverus say come in and proceed to.

"Hi grandfather. How are you?" Serverus asked.

"Fine. You?"

"Good."

"Hi grandpa." Harry said.

"Hello Harry. How are you?"

"I'm fine."

"And why are you in here?"

"He's in here because he's sick and not aloud out of bed. Best place for him is next to my room and lab wouldn't you say?" Snape answered.

"Yes, I agree completely. So Harry you decided to tell?"

"Not really. But my lovely uncle did a scan and here I am."

"I see."

"Yes good. If you'll excuse me I have a potion to brew. Your welcome to come along grandpa if want. Harry work on your books or try to sleep. Your choice. If you feel like you're going to vomit call. Or call if you start to feel worse." Snape said sternly.

"Ok." Harry answered.

Albus decided to talk more with Snape he was curious as to what he was making. He found out that he was making a new sleeping potion. His own kind. But had yet to come up with a name. He was glad. Harry needs sleep and they really didn't need him to become dependent on the dreamless potion. "I have been looking in all my books to get the ingredients." Snape said.

"So what are you putting in it?"

"I have some very small amounts of dreamless. Then I took proportions from other sleeping agents. And I also decided to use a pill of the muggle drug to help them sleep, although it's not dreamless."

"Very creative. Do you think it'll work?"

"Very much so. I hope anyway."

"Me too. He needs sleep."

"That he does."

"His friends will be over in two days. Think he'll be ready?"

"I don't know what you mean by that. I don't know if he'll be healthy by then. But if you mean will he want to see them and that then yes I believe he is ready."

"It didn't matter. Well I have to get going it's almost lunch time and I'm going to meet with Fudge. Also everyone will be here for dinner. I believe that a couple we know just might come out and say they are together again too." With that Albus walked out of the room with his eyes twinkling.

Serverus put the potion on simmer because it had five hours to do that. Then he went and got food from himself and Harry. He then went back up the stairs to Harry's new room. He went the door and saw Harry sleeping fitfully. He really needs to teach him occulmency. Although to do that he would have to get over Sirius death. That could propose a challenge. But he seemed ok with him being his uncle and Albus his grandfather. He wondered if it was just an act. Or if he was truly happy he had a family and that it was them. Or if he was happy he had family and could careless who it was as long as it wasn't the Dursleys. He wondered whatever could have happened to him there to make him not care. It was a puzzle that would in time come together.

He walked over to the bed a softly touched Harry's arm to wake him. Harry in the meantime was back in fourth year and watching the third task. He felt someone touch him arm and jumped off the bed. "Harry it's only me. Serverus" it took a moment for Harry to catch on but he did and calmed down.

"Sorry." Harry mumbled.

"It ok. Want to share what you were dreaming about?"

"Not really but thanks."

"Ok. Why don't you get back into bed and off the floor. You are still sick."

Harry proceeded to get into bed covered back up. He was only in his pj's after all. Then Snape and him ate their lunch. Well Serverus did and Harry ate a little. But he hadn't taken the potion so it was a good start.

"Do you want to play chess or anything Harry I still have four hours for that potion to simmer."

"Okay sure." And chess they played.

Ron and Hermione decided if they were leaving in two days they could start to pack. Which they did in the morning. After lunch they went out side and played tag with Ginny and Ron's brothers. They were going to tell Harry they were together at dinner the first night with him. They hoped that he wouldn't mind. They were having so much fun together. After they tired of tag around three they went inside and sat on the sofa and read. Ron had changed and although he wasn't Hermione or Harry he did like to learn new things and the books really could be interesting if you made it into more of a story.

At six they had dinner in the garden because it was nice and cool out with no rain. Fred and George kept the conversation around the table joking. Everyone had a very fun time. Anytime with Fred and George was fun. Even when serious even if no one really paid attention. Fred and George would be the ones they needed when times weren't looking good because they could be serious but keep the matter light. After dinner the whole family played hot potato.

Back at the manner it was six. Serverus went and took the potion off the fire and added two more ingredients. Then he went to see what Harry was up to. Harry was in his room reading. He decided he would let Harry down to dinner for that night because everyone was coming. So he told Harry he could take a shower only if he kept the water cool and he yelled if he felt faint. Then he told him to dress nice for dinner. While he did the same thing.

They also had a guest Albus forget to tell earlier and that was Professor McGonagall. The dinner conversation was light. Jets and Herms told how their friends were and what they were up to. Dumbledore said he had a good day and they school was good. Minerva told Harry to call her that during the summer or she wouldn't help him at all during the school year. She really wasn't all prim and proper. Harry was tired and felt hot but sat there looking around at everyone and laughed when others did. Serverus knew Harry was feeling good it wasn't hard to tell. It worried him that Harry could act so well. He wondered who Harry really was under the mask.

Near the end of dinner the announcement came. Tonks and Lupin stood and said they were going out again. Which, in turn made Harry burst with a lot of questions? He was happy for them. Plus they made a cute couple. After dinner everyone went into the common room. After half and hour Serverus told Harry to go upstairs and followed him. It was time for Harry to lay down again. He also needed to check his temperature.

Once into Harry's room Serverus told Harry to change while he went and got a few things from his storage room. When we came back in Harry was at his desk looking at a book.

"You need to be in bed not reading at a desk. So go crawl in please." Snape said softly. He should have know Harry would have thought dinner meant he could be out of bed.

"You are to stay in bed unless I tell you that it's alright. I only let you for dinner and that was because everyone was here. Understood?"

"Yes. Will I still have to be in bed in Ron and Hermione come?"

"If your not better yes. Now let me check you. Stay still."

"Ok."

"Your fever is up again. Does your head or stomach hurt?" Serverus asked and Harry looked down.

"Yes" Harry whispered.

"Did it at dinner?"

"Yes."

"Were you faint or dizzy?"

"Yes" again a whisper."

"Okay. Your going to bed. Take this. (holding a goblet out) it's a fever reducer. I'll be right back. That potion is done and I want you to try it tonight."

"Okay."

A few minutes later he came in and gave it to Harry. Harry then layed down and bed and fell asleep. Serverus then went back to the common room to wish everyone a goodnight. He was in for a long one. He needed to monitor Harry to see if the potion worked.

After midnight everyone (but Serverus) was in bed. Minerva, Jets, and Herms all stayed in a guest room. Remus and Tonks were in his rooms. It was a peaceful night for everyone everywhere.

Wow. It is the end of my first nine weeks which is why I haven't been able to update. I had a lot of projects and homework. But now I'm done for awhile anyway. But swimming is started it intense so I don't know.

If you can think of a potion name I would be thankful. Also some people call the dreamless sleep potion something else right? What is it? I can't remember what it is.

That's all for now hopefully you liked it.

Thanks to all that reviewed.
