Timeless Escapades

Disclaimer: Harry Potter doesn't belong to me!!!

Quote:

"Did you like question ten, Moony?" asked Sirius as they emerged into the entrance hall.

"Loved it," said Lupin briskly. "'Give five signs that identify the werewolf.' Excellent question.'"

"D'you think that you managed to get all the signs?" said James in mock concern.

Timeless Escapades

Chapter 6

Harry could feel the sweat pouring down his tired face, dampening his Hogwarts robes. A bloody gash was upon his arm, and one of the lenses of his glasses had cracked. His eyes darted to and fro in the damp, dark chamber. Wizards and witches were everywhere, fighting the opposing deatheaters.

Harry was already half way out of the room, climbing up the stony stairs, before he halted and looked over his shoulder. Two figures were duelling on the dais, by an ancient stone arch way, a silvery cloth fluttering in an imaginary breeze. A man with long black hair was duelling freely, a permanent smile on his face. The woman who he was opposing was moving her hands in a blur, wand twisting elegantly. Jets of light came spurring towards both of them, each dodging every time.

The man laughed as he dodged the lights, openly taunting the furious woman. A jet of red light came forth and hit the man in the chest. The smile hadn't even yet left his face. As he fell through the veil, Sirius Black turned his head and pierced his godson with a wounded expression..

"Harry... you failed me..."

"SIRIUS!!!!!" Harry called.

"SIRIUS!!!!!" Harry screamed out into the night air, bolting up from his bed.

Harry struggled with the invisible bonds that seemed to be strapping him to the bed. He could feel the sweat pooling around him, his scar throbbing dimly. He couldn't see, couldn't hear. Sirius... he'd failed him... he'd let him die... his godfather was one simple word.

Dead... dead...

It was therefore a shock when a boy with long black hair and grey blue eyes, started shaking him, calling his name.

"Harry! Harry, mate... are you alright?" he asked him, hands fumbling to free his friend from the twisted sheets. "Here, stop squirming and let me get you out of here."

Harry was shocked. His... his godfather was dead. He couldn't actually be here, could he?

"Sirius!" Harry yelped, completely falling off the bed in order to get away from the imposter who seemed to think it hilarious to pose as his godfather.

Sirius bolted forward and grabbed Harry's arm, dragging him back onto the bed. Sirius took the sheets and covered Harry up again, then turned to his bed stand grabbed his wand with jerky movements. He conjured a glass of water, just as a head of unruly black hair poked through one of the curtains.

"Wh's the matter?" James asked sleepily, glasses sitting lopsided on his nose.

"I think he's sick, or something." Sirius told James vaguely, pouring some of the water into his hand and then resting it on Harry's forehead.

Harry's eyes darted back and forth between the two boys. Why was his dad here, anyway? Wasn't he supposed to be dead?

Oh god... I'm hallucinating.

"You're not real." Harry told himself, missing the raised eyebrows that he was gaining from his younger guardians. "You're not real, you're dead... I'm dreaming."

Remus poked his head inside the curtain, alongside of James. "What's going on?" he asked.

"Harry needs to go to the hospital wing." Sirius told him. "I think he has a fever... but then again he's sweating like a pig, so it's kind of hard to tell."

"Oh shut up, Padfoot!" James told him, rolling his eyes.

Remus frowned and stepped forward. "How did he grab your attention? I didn't hear anything."

Sirius glared at him. "I heard him mumbling something, and then he practically screamed my name! You most be losing your werewolf abilities, Moony."

James came aside Remus and looked down on his reflection. "Let's get him to the hospital wing,"

Harry groaned, catching the attention of the teens. He tried to sit up, but a heavy weight seemed to be weighing down his shoulders.

"Just rest mate." said Sirius. "Your ill."

Harry popped open his emerald eyes and starred at Sirius incredulously. "I am not! What are you all doing, anyway? Go back to bed."

James gapped at Harry. "You mean you don't remember anything?"

"Should I?" Harry shot back at him.

"You were only raving like a lunatic, saying that I was a dead man!" Sirius told him.

Harry blanched. Had he really said that out loud? Geez... why couldn't he just keep his big fat mouth shut for once.

"Listen, guys..." Harry started awkwardly. "I really don't have to go to the hospital wing... it's okay, really."

Sirius shook his head, and Remus gave him a you're sick and don't deny it look, and James sighed.

"Harry, you were screaming bloody murder, just a few minutes ago... I really think that you should go to Pomfrey." Sirius said, scratching his head.

"You really should," said Remus, pulling his pajamas straight. "Come on, lets go."

James and Sirius each took one of Harry's arms and dragged him out of bed. Remus took one of the quilts and draped it over Harry's shoulders.

"Guys! Come on, I don't NEED to see the nurse!" Harry told them resisting the tightening pressure on his arms.

Remus sighed and turned back around, facing the pallid boy. "Harry don't do this... we just want to see if you're okay."

"I'm FINE!" Harry told them, backing up as much as his guards would allow.

"Petrificus Totalus!" Remus cried, swishing his wand.

Harry fell stiff as a board to the ground. Sirius looked up at James, who looked just as shocked.

"Remus just cursed our friend!" James said in disbelief, watching Harry on the ground.

Sirius however, looked impressed. "Well! That's one way to go about doing things! Give a warning and the hex!"

OoOoOoO

Leela74: Howdy! Harry being his own father? Actually, I don't think that would work, because if Harry was to get together with Lily (which he's NOT) then Harry would never be born... because James would have to have his traits in Harry... do you get what I mean? I know I sound confusing, but... that's the only way I can think of to explain! Butterbeer and Chocolate Frogs to you!
