lolA/N – Insanity level rising

The Door

It had been 3 weeks since the attack in the Forbidden Forest. One or two of the deatheaters had been caught. But it wasn't enough. Harry had refused to go to classes, saying that it had been his fault that Alias was now in a coma. McGonagall had excused him from all classes. Every now and then Alias would scream in her sleep. Madam Pomfrey did everything she could to make Alias comfortable but it seemed to do little. Only when Harry would hold her hand while she screamed would she seem to calm down some. "The door, I can't….open….NO!" Alias started to thrash again.

Harry held her hand but this time it did little to help her. She sobbed softly and shook as if in pain. Ron came into the room when she screamed and sat beside Harry who himself looked almost as bad as Alias did. "She keeps screaming about a door. Ron is she going to be okay?" Subconsciously Harry knew that Ron couldn't give him an answer but Ron nodded and put a hand on his friend's shoulder. "She'll be up in no time and ready to fight again." Harry nodded and drifted off to an uneasy sleep. Ron only hoped that what he had said was right.

Alias's World

Alias walked slowly, in a trance like state, towards a door. She had seen the door so many times before that it was almost familiar to her. She looked to her left and saw a clock. On it in big red numbers it showed midnight. But the numbers looked to be written in blood. She wasn't sure how long she had been in here, wandering along paths only to find dead ends. It was like being in a maze that tried to persuade you to scream in terror. Fear washed over her as she shuddered and looked at the door. Her hand rested on the handle, all she had to do was open the door and she could be free.

She turned the knob and she found it looked. "The door, I can't…open…NO!" She screamed and shook in fear and ran for her life. Behind her was Sirius, his eyes red with rage as he tried to kill her. She felt her heart beating horribly fast, fast enough she thought it might burst. Even if it burst it would keep beating. She felt cold, there was snow around her but when she touched the snow with her hand or the snow touched her bare skin it burned and she couldn't help but flinch away but the snow followed her as she ran.

Wands flew at her, all flashing a green light before a flag popped out of the end that said "Ha you're dead!" She flinched away from them as they tried to impale her. She felt something grip her hand. But nothing was there. It felt warm and comforting. But even the comfort of that something couldn't kill the fear in her at this moment. She turned and that was a fatal mistake for her, she saw Sirius killing Harry, but Harry was killing Sirius. The door flashed before her eyes again as she ran.

Rocks flew before her and a good few hit her in the head. She fell to the ground twisting in agony as they continued to hit her. "Harry…please save me." She knew he couldn't hear her. Tears fell down her cheeks, running new courses and following old ones. Since she had gotten here she knew that she had cried more than she ever would in her life. Her face was tear stained and she couldn't help but wonder if she would ever see Harry again. "Harry, I love you."

The Real World

Alias was crying again. Ron sat and watched the girl, nay woman; he had come to think of as a sister. "Harry, I love you." He heard her say it, but Harry didn't stir and after that Alias was still. Her hand fell limply from Harry's. Harry woke up and looked at her. She shot up, her eyes wide with fear. She screamed once and then fell back. Her eyes wide before they closed; her head fell to the side and stayed that way. Harry gently felt her forehead, it was cold. "Ron, get Madam Pomfrey!" He felt for a pulse, she didn't have one.

Madam Pomfrey came running in and started to try and revive her. Although the poor nurse wasn't strong enough. "Harry do you know CPR?" Harry nodded and pushed on Alias' chest, trying to keep her hear beating. He stopped, breathing into her mouth to keep her alive. He kept going, only stopping to breath into her mouth.

Alias' World

'Its time for me to let go.' That's just what Alias did. She let go and felt herself lifting free of the confinement in her mind. It was then as if she could see it all. McGonagall in her office working over random papers. Mione in her room crying. "Why do you cry Mione? I'm right here." Mione looked up as if she had heard it. But shaking her head Mione curled up on her bed. Alias could see her body, her own body laying limply on the bed in the Hospital Wing. Harry was giving her CPR, trying to keep her alive. Ron stood their shocked as if not believe it could happen.

Madam Pomfrey pulled Harry away from her body. Madam Pomfrey's word came as if from a great distance when she felt she was right there. "She's dead Harry, she's dead." Alias shook her head. "I'm not dead. I'm right here!" Tears fell down her cheeks once more as she felt herself lifting. As if in a dream she saw Sirius. He wrapped her into a fatherly embrace. "Alias, you're not done yet. You've got to much to do. Now you go down there and do as you used to do. Use force." Alias shook her head.

"I can't Daddy, I just can't." He pulled her out of the hug. "Do it Sass, do it for me you mangy kitty." She growled at him but found herself back in the nightmarish world that she had been in for so long. She saw the door again. She reached it and felt the door knob refuse to turn. She did just as her father had told her.

The Real World

Harry turned back to Alias' body when she opened her eyes. She sat up and looked at him. "Alias? You're alive?" She blinked a few times, letting her eyes adjust to the light around her. "Heaven is like a fire hydrant, its been pissed on by dogs." Harry laughed and enveloped her in a hug. She hugged him back, glad to be able to feel the warmth of his touch.
