This Chapter: Harry talks with Sirius.
Now.........on with the story!
Harry begged Madam Pomfrey all day to let him leave the hospital wing. Finally, she said he could leave the next morning, so he should get into bed and rest. Harry got into bed, but did not sleep. He was too afraid that Voldemort would be inside his dreams again.
Early the next morning, he left the hospital wing. He had to sneak past Lupin, who had fallen asleep at his bedside. He walked slowly up the seemingly never-ending staircases that led up to the seventh floor. Hermione had told him the password to Gryffindor Tower when she had visited the previous day.
He gave the password to the Fat Lady, "Flibbertigibbet," and walked into the Common Room.He was about to head upstairs when he was ambushed by Ron, Hermione, and Ginny.
"How did you get out of the hospital wing?" asked Hermione.
"Snuck out." he said with a grin. "She said I could leave in the morning. This is morning."
"You should have waited until she said you could go." said Hermione.
"Oh well. I'm going to have Lupin's wrath too. He was waiting for me to wake up, I guess, but he was asleep when I left. I'm going up to the dormitory to sleep a bit." said Harry. He headed up the stairs to the familiar circular room that now had a plaque on the door that said sixth years. He walked over to his trunk and opened it. He began digging around in it.
"Yes!" he said happily as he found the package that held the remains of the mirror that Sirius had given him last year.
He pulled his wand out, pointed it at the pieces of the mirror, and muttered, "Reparo." The pieces shifted back into place and sealed themselves. He picked up the mirror and said, "Sirius." Sirius appeared in the mirror.
"Hey, Harry. How are you?" asked Sirius
"Fine." replied Harry.
"Don't give me fine. You nearly died a month ago, snuck off to find the Death Eaters, almost got killed again, lied to me about being hurt yesterday, then fell over your trunk and knocked yourself out. No, I don't think you're fine. " said Sirius angrily.
"Sorry." said Harry. "I wanted to come to Hogwarts."
"I know you wanted to, Harry, but you shouldn't risk your health just to go to school and be with your friends." said Sirius in a gentler tone.
"Okay." said Harry.
"What did you want me for." asked Sirius.
"Oh, I just wanted to say hi." said Harry. "and…er… have you talked to Lupin?" Harry asked in what he hoped was a nonchalant voice.
"Um, no." said Sirius. Harry could see Sirius's eyes darting back and forth.
"I promised to be honest with you, so will you be honest with me?" said Harry angrily.
"Fine, I did talk to Remus. He told me about you dream. Harry, you need to work very hard at Occlumency. You must never let Voldemort get into your mind again. I have no idea what he could do to you in a dream." said Sirius.
Harry knew he was thinking about Avada Kedavra. If his body had felt the pain from the Cruciatus Curse as well as his mind, then could Voldemort kill him in his dreams?
Just as he started brooding on the effects of Avada Kedavra in his dreams, he heard Sirius saying, "Harry, you there?"
"Yeah, I'm still here." said Harry. "I'd better get downstairs. Bye Sirius."
"Bye Harry. Remember, I'm Here if you need me. " Sirius vanished from Harry's mirror.
