Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I only do in my dreams. Any other time he and his fellow bookmates belong to J.K. Rowling.

A/N: Harry's is going for surgery! Harry's going for surgery! Yay! I've never had surgery before so I don't know about some of the stuff, so please don't complain.

Lol, just joking! That's not it! Here's the real chapter!

"Harry! Harry, wake up!" said a voice.

Hands were placed on Harry's shoulders. They began to shake him.

"Open your eyes, it's time for surgery!"

Harry opened his eyes. Everything was blurry. A disfigured head was looking down at him. He felt a little frightened.

"Ahh!" he screamed.

Harry felt his glasses being placed on his face. As everything cleared out he saw the face of his godfather above him. He had been the monster.

"Sirius? What are you doing here? I thought you left."

"It's time for you to go for your surgery. I told you I'd be here."

"Where's Remus?"

"He's dropping off Hermione at the Weasleys at the moment. He should be here any minute now."

Harry was scared. He didn't want to go for surgery; he had never had one before but he had read about them. They would cut you open and play around with your insides, cutting and twisting things. Harry didn't know what it would feel like. Would it hurt? Could they make a mistake? What scared Harry the most was the thought of the Healers screwing up and killing him. He didn't want to die.

"I don't wanna go!" Harry suddenly yelled.

Sirius sighed.

"Harry, it's going to be okay. It's only for a couple of hours. After that you'll be perfectly fine, even better than you are now. I promise."

"What if I don't go for the surgery, what will happen?"

"Harry, you have a bullet lodged into your stomach. If it weren't for those charms you would be dead right now. They can't keep those charms on forever, Harry."

"But what if they mess up? What if I die?"

"You will not die Harry, they told me themselves. It's a very simple procedure."

Harry looked up at the ceiling, trying to suppress the tears. He was scared. No, not scared; frightened beyond belief. Sirius watched his godson sadly as the boy began to cry.

"No, don't cry, Harry."

Sirius kneeled down by Harry's side.

"Harry, it's going to be okay; you aren't going to die."

He placed his hands on the sides of his godson's face and wiped the tears from his eyes with his thumbs. They were soon replaced by a new set.

"Shh, baby, it's okay."

Harry wiped the tears from his eyes. He looked up at Sirius, a slight smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll do it."

Sirius beamed.

"Great."

Sirius pulled out his wand a conjured a stretcher. He slowly lifted Harry up an placed him on top, making sure to bring Harry's IV and breathing machine along as well. He attached them to the back of the stretcher. (A/N: The machines, not Harry) Once they were ready to go, Sirius began to push Harry out of the room, where they met Janus. Janus took the stretcher from Sirius and began to push him to the OR, while Sirius ran by Harry's side, muttering soft words.

Suddenly the door at the end of the hallway opened and Remus entered. He ran to the room that Harry just left, thinking he was still there.

"Remus, over here!" Sirius shouted, wailing his arms in the air as he seen Remus.

Remus spun around, noticing the three of them. He quickly ran to Harry's side.

"Hey, Harry," he said taking Harry's hand in his.

Harry smiled slightly. He was still scared.

"Scared?" asked Remus.

"Frightened."

Remus laughed and ruffled his hair.

"Don't worry; everything's gonna turn out all right."

That helped Harry a little.

Janus turned Harry's stretcher to the left and into a room labelled "OR9". Operating Room number nine. Harry shut his eyes tight. Now he was even more scared.

Once he was in the room he was placed onto a large bed. The Healers in the room removed his oxygen tubes, and his IV bag was changed to a different fluid.

"You'll have to leave for the surgery," Janus told Sirius and Remus.

The two men ran over to Harry's side.

"We'll see you later," said Remus.

"It's going to be okay," said Sirius.

They each placed a kiss on Harry's cheek and left the room, waving before they closed the door.

Janus turned to Harry, holding a small mask.

"This is going to put you to sleep," he said.

"Why do I have to sleep?" Harry asked, his voice shaking audibly.

Janus chuckled.

"Do you honestly want to be awake while we operate?"

"No."

"Exactly," he laughed. (A/N:Haha, if I were one of the Healers I'd be like, "Dumbass!")

He placed the mask on top of Harry's mouth and nose. Everything became hazy, the room moving in all directions. All voices became distant as Harry fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Sirius and Remus were sitting outside, just across from to OR. Well…Remus was sitting. Sirius was pacing back and forth nervously.

"Sirius, would you calm down!" scolded Remus.

Sirius ran a shaky hand through his hair.

"How calm could I possibly be when there are people in my godson's stomach?!"

"He's going to be fine!"

"What if Harry was right? What if they do make a mistake?"

"They won't."

Sirius dropped into the seat on Remus' side. He buried his head in his hands. Remus sighed in annoyance.

"Oh, for the love of God! Sirius!"

"Okay! I'll stop!"

Sirius sat up straight in his seat, though still shaking slightly.

"I hope he's okay."

Three hours passed and Harry was still in the operating room. Sirius had once again begun pacing nervously as Remus slept in the next chair.

Suddenly the sounds of footsteps were heard and six bodies turned the corner. It was Molly, Arthur, Ron, Hermione, Fred and George. They all ran over to Sirius, anxious looks on all of their faces.

"Is he okay?"

"Where is he?"

"Is he still in surgery?"

Everyone seemed to have something to say. Sirius whistled loudly to shut them up.

"Thank you," he said, "Harry's still in surgery, but it should be over soon. He's just in that room," he pointed at the OR9.

The Weasleys sighed with relief and sat down on the chairs near Remus. Ron found it slightly odd that Remus would be sleeping at a time like this. He poked him slightly on the shoulder.

"Professor Lupin? Professor Lupin, wake up!"

Remus didn't stir. Ron began to shake him as the others began to laugh.

"Wake up!"

Sirius laughed.

"Don't worry Ron, I'll wake him up."

Sirius got closer to Remus. He put his mouth to his ear.

"Viana is here," he whispered.

Remus' eyes shot open and he jumped out of his seat.

"WHERE?" Remus shouted.

The others began to laugh. Remus blushed furiously, and then glared at Sirius.

"I'll get you for that!"

Remus made to jump at Sirius but the door to the OR flew open. Janus entered the hallway, a relieved look on his face.

"The operation was a success," he said with a smile.

"Can we see him?" asked Ron.

"Of course."

All nine of them ran into the room. Harry was lying in the bed, his eyes closed. Sirius put a finger to his lips and walked over to Harry's side on his own. He looked down at his godson. He looked so peaceful.

"Harry? Are you awake?" Sirius whispered.

"Yeah," Harry mumbled.

He opened his eyes and looked up at his godfather. It was obvious that he was very tired.

"How are you feeling?"

"Sick."

Sirius smiled sadly.

"Well, Healer Mortus said the operation was a success! You're going to be just fine!"

Harry smiled slightly and closed his eyes. Sirius turned to the other standing in the doorway. He waved for them to come. They slowly approached Harry's side. Ron took Harry's left hand while Hermione took his right.

"Harry?" whispered Ginny from the edge of the bed.

Harry opened his eyes once again. He blushed slightly as he saw Ginny.

"Hey, guys."

Hermione began running her fingers through Harry's hair.

"Thank god you're going to be okay."

Harry smiled. It felt good to have great friends like them.

A/N: Sorry for the long update. I've been in summer school for the past month and my dad is always yelling at me for being on the computer when I should be studying. I'm not supposed to be on right now, but I'm home alone. Lol!

Feedback:

Opal: There's a movie called "The Perfect Family"? Aw, dammit! I don't like my title anymore! Should I change it? If you can, can you please tell me if I'm doing better or worse at keeping the stories intact? I don't want them to be all jumped around for the rest of the story.

neo-lover72: There won't be any slash. There will be six parts to this story and Ginny and Harry should be getting together in the third part. Part two is already up and done, if you haven't read it yet.

athenakitty: Hermione and Ron will be helping Harry once he's out of the hospital. He's going to need some physical training to learn to walk again, and also some psychological help. Someone will help Harry with that. But Ron and Hermione will help him as well. The Dursleys are in prison at the moment, but they will be a part of one of the sequels.

vampireslugs: I'm glad you liked it. Sirius Black is very sexy! The hottest person on the face of the earth. I get to see him all the time! Remus is my daddy you know? So he's always with Sirius, lol. Sevie is my other daddy. I was made with a ferelity potion.

Eric2: I want Harry to get very mad. Lol! Evil Siri!

Tenshi no Hikaru: I've already finished my second year of high school, but grade nine is my first year of being a senior; that's what I'm afraid of. Lol, we have this big sister, little sister program. Every grade seven gets an older student to show them around the school and get used to everything; they're called big sisters, and the younger are called little sisters. I'm going to be a big sister next year!

Manutjuh: Yay! You like me! You really, really like me! If my stories start shitting up, please tell me so that I know to work harder. This chapter wasn't as good as the rest though; I had no idea what to put, so it's all rushed.

Cat Riddle: I love cute stories and so I wrote them myself. Lol, I wish I was as good as some of the other people's that I read. I love your pen name. Cats RULE! I have a cat named Sammie. I love him.

Hp-Azn: Was there any angst in this chapter? It should be semi-angst for the rest of the story. The sequel to 'Losing Myself" is complete angst. (Cackles) He he ha ha ha!

FroBoy: I'm glad that you liked it. Do you have any stories that you're writing? If you do post a story, I would be happy to read it.

TigerLily Padfoot: I'm sooo happy that people are actually enjoying my stories. I was planning to post my stories and end up with like four reviews. Lol, I wanna become an author when I grow up. Or an actress or singer.

HOBOrules: I should be updating "Gains And Losses" soon. I have chapters twenty-four, through thirty-one written up to now. Sirius is still not back! I want my Sirius! My daddy, Remus misses him. Lol, Romulus is my half brother. His parents are Remus and Adene and my parents are Remus and Severus. Ferelity potions RULE!

Lidea: The bullet is still in him, and they can't fix all wounds with magic. Remember Arthur's snake bite; they didn't fix it with magic, he had to keep the bandages on since it was still open.

ChibiYushiYasha: I didn't grow up listening to the Beatles, sadly, though I wish I did. My dad wasn't the kind of person who would play a lot of music in the house and my mom was more into Elvis Presley and The Rolling Stones. I love them too though. My friends were always talking about the Beatles and got me into doing a project on them. I decided to try listening to them, just to make my friends happy and now I'm obsessed. Hermione is actually younger than Harry, but I decided to make her older, just for this. Her birthday is September 19th 1980. I wanted to make both Ron and Hermione older for this. Ron's birthday is March 1st, I think. My beta told me all this stuff.

Sexy Black: (Blushes furiously as Sexy Black embarrasses her) Britt, stop! SB: I got feedback! I got feedback! Woo hoo! ST: (Buries face in hands) Oh God.

lyss33: I'm glad that you liked it. I read your Degrassi story. I loved it! I reviewed too.

HecateDeMort: Yay! I'm loved!
