Though it was too late, a very pale Sirius removed the werewolf's jaws from Harry's leg. He dragged the beast down a flight of stone stairs. Dumbledore quickly sat Harry down on the couch. A minute later, Sirius appeared. He shut a very heavy metal door and locked it. All those clicks brought back the memories of the Dursley's. Sirius hurried over. He looked worse than ever. He quickly unraveled the bandage that had been bitten into. Since this cut was already bleeding, they had no way of knowing if Lupin had passed on the poison. "We'll put him on a mixer of pills." Dumbledore said quickly. Sirius nodded. Dumbledore disapparated. Harry was shaking. He didn't want to be a werewolf! "S-Sirius...." Harry's voice shook. Sirius put an arm around Harry. "It'll be okay kiddo...it'll be okay." He said quietly. Sirius made Harry lay down. He wrapped a blanket tightly around him and didn't leave Harry's side.

When Dumbledore appeared again, Harry had his eyes closed tight. Sirius was sitting beside him, talking in a hushed voice. He looked up when he saw Dumbledore. Dumbledore pulled five pill bottles out of a paper bag. He waved his wand and a goblet of pumpkin juice appeared. Sirius gently shook Harry. "Come on son..." He said quietly. Harry reluctantly opened his eyes. Sirius handed him a handful of pills. Harry took them one at a time. They were huge! When he was done, Harry let Sirius rewrap his ribs and such. Harry stood and Sirius took a roll of tensor bandage. He wound it tightly around Harry's ribs. Then, he took another roll of tensor bandage and wrapped Harry's arm and knee. Sirius had conjured a pair of pajama pants for Harry. Harry pulled them on and plopped back down on the couch. Dumbledore pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to Harry. They were his glasses...only different. These glasses weren't really round, they were more oval. Harry liked them. He slipped them on his nose. Harry spread out on the couch. Sirius sat down with him. Dumbledore announced he had to go, and disapparated with a loud pop. Neither Harry or Sirius knew what to say... As Harry drifted off to sleep, Sirius read the pill bottles. He was reading the side effects. Drowsiness Vomiting Weakness Fainting spells Heavy bleeding Pain Sirius read the last side effect over again. Pain? Hadn't Harry been through enough pain? Sirius put the bottles back on the table. He rested a hand on Harry's shoulder. "What would James say if he saw you?" Sirius asked quietly. Sirius knew what he would say, but it's not suitable for a FF. Sirius rested himself in an armchair that was right beside Harry. He heard the growls coming from downstairs. Lupin had built that basement room for the days when there wasn't the wolfsbane potion. It came in handy when he forgot to take the potion though... Sirius closed his eyes. He didn't realize how late in the day it was. He drifted off to sleep. He was quickly woken though. Harry was trying to get up from the couch. "Harry! What's wrong?" Sirius yelled. Harry limped to the bathroom as fast as he could. When Sirius arrived, Harry was bent over the toilet. Sirius sighed. It sounded really painful. He rested a hand on Harry's shoulder as the teenager vomited.

Sirius helped Harry back to the couch. He noticed Harry shudder when they passed the growls coming from the basement. As Harry settled back on the couch, Sirius took a deep breath. "You're gonna be fine Harry." He said quietly. Harry looked at him and sighed. "After everything that's happened this summer, I somehow doubt that." Harry said. He closed his eyes and went back to sleep. Sirius tried to sleep as well, but couldn't. Harry was right. He had been through so much, why should he have hope?
