"What're you doing here, Sirius?" he said.
"Fulfilling my duty as a godfather," said Sirius, gnawing on the chicken bone in a very doglike way. "Don't worry about it, I'm pretending to be a lovable stray."

Timeless Escapades
Chapter 7
Harry was beginning to regret his ability to dream almost every night. He was now being hovered all the way to the hospital wing by three of the four Marauders. He felt so embarrassed! As he lay there, looking up at the moving ceiling, he wondered if he should just fall back asleep and let the boys think that he really was sick with a flu or something like that. He was about to do just that when Lupin immediately stopped the hovering spell, and floated Harry gently to the floor.
"Harry, I'm going to let you out of the spell so that we can help you into the wing, 'kay?" Lupin asked him, wand at the ready.
Harry was un-petrified and slowly sat up. His head felt like it has been rolled over by a steam train. Sirius and James knelt down and helped him off the ground, lifting him into a standing position. He swayed a bit as the four boys made their way into the hospital wing. Sirius helped Harry onto a bed while James and Remus went to get Madame Pomfrey.
Harry looked over at his future godfather. He looked so carefree and young... it was amazing how much Azkaban must have changed him, really. Harry was pulled from his thoughts as Sirius decided to give Harry a cup of water.
"What were you dreaming about, anyway?" he asked.
Harry felt the pit drop out of his stomach, and he nearly dropped the glass in shock as he replaced it on the counter. How was he supposed to answer that question? "I... err, don't remember..."
Sirius looked at him incredously, but Harry was sparred the oncoming questions by Madame Pomfrey's timely arrival, James and Remus trailing her. Harry had never been so happy to see the medi-witch in his life.
"Mister Prowner! What seems to be the problem?" Madame Pomfrey came to the side of his bed, pulling back his fringe and feeling his forehead.
"There is no problem!" Harry told her heatedly. "I don't know what they were talking about, they dragged me out of bed to bring me down here!"
"It was NOT nothing!" Sirius and James roared, at the same time.
Remus glared at Harry. "What do you mean 'there is no problem!' If you woke Sirius up, then there MUST have been something wrong!"
Sirius rounded on Remus. "And what is that supposed to mean!?"
"It means that you could sleep through the Quidditch Cup if you really wanted to!" Remus replied, meeting Sirius's scowl head on.
"I would NOT!" Sirius yelled, he rounded on James. "Isn't that right, James?"
James seemed to shrink away as he replied. "I hate to break it to you, mate, but you defiantly could. Seeing as you snore like a whale..."
"I do not!" he told him, "And even if I did, WHALES DON'T SNORE!"
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"Too!"
"Not!"
"Too, too, too, too!"
"Not, not, not, NOT, N — "
"FIFTY POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR, FOR YELLING AT ONE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING!"
All four boys looked over to where Madame Pomfrey stood, hands on her hips and lips pursed. She didn't look too happy.
"Sorry..." James and Sirius muttered, moving closer to the bed.
Seemingly satisfied, Pomfrey turned back to Harry while addressing Remus. "What is the problem, Mister Lupin?"
Remus drew himself up to his full height, and replied. "Well, I woke up and saw that Sirius wasn't in his bed, and that both him and James were on the inside of Harry's curtains. I peeked in, and Sirius told me that Harry had been screaming in his sleep and that he was feverish,"
"And sweating like a pig!" James piped up, winking at Sirius who had now flushed a dark colour of magenta.
Harry glared at James and watched Madame Pomfrey fuss over him. "Well, I don't think that there's anything physically wrong... I'll have to keep you over night though."
Sirius, James, and Remus shook their heads. They seemed to know how bad you got fussed over when Pomfrey told you you had to stay the night.
"Dreamless sleep for you, Mister Prowner." Madame Pomfrey handed Harry a silver goblet, filled to the brim with a dark purple potion. "Drink all of it!"
Harry took the goblet and drained it. He leaned back against the fluffed up pillows and watched as the Marauders wished him good night, and then walk over to a another bed on the other side of the room, occupied by a small, heavy set boy with watery blue eyes.
Wormtail.
Harry didn't know why he was feeling so angry. The boy didn't have anything to do with his present predicament, and he hadn't joined Voldemort yet. But there it was, a feeling of rage... so great that it was bubbling and withering like great snake inside him, waiting to strike if needed.
"How're you doing, Peter?" Remus asked him, sitting down in one of the chairs beside the bed and pulling his robe tighter.
The traitor smiled at them timidly, "Okay... Madame Pomfrey says that the poison still isn't out of my system yet, so I have to stay for a while."
Sirius sighed, and took an apple from the fruit bowl on the night stand. "Man... you're so lucky! A perfect excuse from homework! Not even McGonnagal can get you for that one, Wormtail."
James, who was currently wiping off his glasses, seemed to second the notion. "Yeah! Wish I could skive off classes... Remus, how's that potion coming?"
Harry was beginning to feel very tired... his eyes were drooping shut on their own accord, and he felt strangely warm and fuzzy all over. Harry really wanted to hear the conversation... what was the potion that they were talking about?
"Well... if the potion fails, I guess that we could all just eat some of James's cooking and..."
Sirius stated, taking another hunk of the apple.
"No," Remus said, smirking, "We'd all be dead from food poisoning... that defeats the whole purpose!"
Harry grinned beneath the covers as he heard his father cry out in offense.
James watched as Harry Prowner sank beneath the covers of the hospital bed. That kid was strange.... he arrived by way of the Hogwarts Supplies cabinet, for crying out loud! James turned to Sirius, who was now doing an impression of Professor McGonnagal asking for their homework.
"Now really, Mister Black!" Sirius imitated in a high pitched voice, "I am quite sure that a dog did NOT in fact eat your homework! Seeing as they aren't allowed at Hogwarts!"
"Sirius!" James said, over the noise of both Remus and Peter's giggles. "The Prowner kids asleep."
Sirius peered over at the still form of the bed, "So?"
"So don't you think it's a bit odd?" James asked him. "I mean he only met you and already he's screaming out your name in his sleep."
"It could have been from fear!" Remus butted in, completely ignoring the death glare that was sent his way.
James glanced towards the bed one last time before motioning to his friends that he had to go, "I think that there's more to Harry Prowner than meets the eye..."
