Now.........on with the story!


"Can one of you please just explain what the hell happened?" asked Harry. His temper was starting to rise.

"Voldemort had you poisoned. It was a very slow poison, so that you would suffer. Fortunately, the truth was discovered. Parvati Patil was spying for Voldemort and is the one that gave you the poison. She also stole the antidote Professor Snape had made and switched it with full-strength poison. Luckily, Professor Snape managed to make a partial antidote and is now making the full antidote." said Dumbledore.

The events of the past few days now rushed back into his mind. He remembered everything now. He was stunned. He had nearly died. Hogwarts wasn't as safe as he had thought it was, if even Gryffindors were turning into spies.

"When can I get out of here?" he asked.

"After Professor Snape has made the antidote." said Dumbledore. He turned and left the room.

"You need to get some sleep, Harry." said Sirius.

Harry couldn't say another word as sleep overcame him. He awoke the next morning feeling refreshed. He'd had no dreams. He looked over and saw that Sirius was still asleep.

He started to get out of bed, but heard Madam Pomfrey screech, "Oh no you don't, Mr. Potter!"

He hurriedly climbed back into bed. It was going to be a long day. Ron and Hermione couldn't stay with him because they had to go to classes.

An idea suddenly hit him. He could experiment with his new power. He traced a path idly with his finger in the air. A thin purple line appeared where his finger had been. He traced his name in the air and it appeared in green.

He looked at Sirius. He was still asleep. The chair he was in looked uncomfortable, so Harry waved his hand and the chair turned into a squashy armchair. The new chair was considerable lower than the original one, so Sirius fell onto it with a thud.

"What the hell!" said Sirius groggily.

"Sorry Sirius. I thought a different chair would be more comfortable." said Harry.

"That's all right." said Sirius as he sat up in the chair. Sirius's eyes suddenly widened as he saw what Harry had been doing.

"Cool. Can you do my name too?" asked Sirius.

"Sure." said Harry. He traced Sirius's name with red lines. He drew a gold oval around Sirius's name and added a few embellishments. With a wave of his hand, he froze the name and handed it to Sirius.

"Thanks." said Sirius. Harry thought his friends might like to have them too, so he created ones for Ron, Hermione, and Ginny.

He made Ron's red and bronze, Hermione's blue and silver, and Ginny's purple and gold.

He handed the names to Sirius and said, "Give these to Ron, Hermione, and Ginny."

"I will as soon as I see them." promised Sirius.

"Thanks." whispered Harry. He closed his eyes. The pain was coming back. He clenched his teeth and tried not to cry out.

Sirius's POV

"Harry, are you okay?" asked Sirius. Harry nodded his head, but Sirius could see he was in pain. Harry's face had paled, and he was clenching his teeth.

"Madam Pomfrey!" yelled Sirius.

"What?" she asked.

"Harry needs more antidote." said Sirius. She immediately came out of her office holding a vial.

"Here, give him this." she said, thrusting the vial into his hands. Sirius had to pry Harry's mouth open to get him to drink the contents of the vial. After a few minutes, he saw that Harry had relaxed and was asleep.

"Thank Merlin." he whispered as he sank back into the armchair.

Harry's POV

Harry heard Sirius call for Madam Pomfrey. Then he felt someone trying to open his mouth. They eventually succeeded, and he felt something cool trickle down his throat. The pain slowly went away and Harry relaxed. He opened his eyes and found himself in a dark room.

He pulled out his wand and whispered, "Lumos." The spell didn't work, and Harry started to get panicky. He scar began to burn. He sank to his knees just as he heard a voice.

"Harry Potter. I may have failed to kill you this time, but rest assured, I WILL NOT QUIT! I know the prophecy and I will not rest until you are dead." Harry started screaming. When he opened his eyes he was still screaming with and anxious-looking Sirius hovering over him. He finally calmed down and managed to tell Sirius about his dream.

Sirius looked grave and said, "I'll be right back." Harry nodded and Sirius left the room. Minutes later, Snape walked into the room.

"Here, Potter. Drink all of this." said Snape as he handed a vial to Harry. He took the vial and looked at it suspiciously.

"Don't worry Potter. No one has had a chance to touch this one." said Snape. Harry, still feeling doubtful, drank the potion. He instantly felt better.

"I shall go inform the headmaster that I gave you the antidote." said Snape and turned to leave. About ten minutes later, Sirius came back into the hospital wing looking happy.

"What's up?" asked Harry.

"You can go back tomorrow." said Sirius.

"What day is tomorrow?" asked Harry.

"Saturday." replied Sirius.

"Good, no classes." said Harry.

"Wanna play chess?" asked Sirius.

"Yeah." said Harry.

He spent the rest of the day playing chess with Sirius. At six o'clock Ron, Hermione, and Ginny came to visit, but they said that they couldn't stay for very long because they had homework to do.

After they left, Harry flopped down on his bed and said, "I'm sooo bored. Wanna sneak out, Sirius?"

"Umm, sorry Harry, but you have to stay here until tomorrow." said Sirius.

"Aww, Sirius, you're no fun. I'm going to sleep." said Harry. He rolled over and fell asleep.
