Chapter Nineteen: St Mungo's.

Three days later Harry woke up in a hospital bed at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. He put his glasses on. Two other beds were in the room, one was empty, the other was occupied by Ron, he was sitting up in the bed holding Hermione's hand, she looked like she'd been crying, and Ron was telling her that he was fine. Harry too sat up. Ginny was sitting in a chair beside his bed asleep, a magazine in her hand.

Harry reached over and touched her face 'hey' he said gently.

Ginny jerked awake 'Harry, you're awake, I was so worried' she said hugging him.

'I'll be fine,' he said. Ron and Hermione looked up at him.

'Welcome back mate' Ron said.

'I'm going to get a healer,' Ginny said kissing Harry and leaving the room.

'Did Sirius make it?' Harry asked.

'Yeah, but so that he isn't permanently scarred Hermione modified his short term memory. He thinks he's been in hiding from death eaters for the last two years and had a bad accident because you and I were in trouble so he had no choice but to come back, he thinks that people were told he was dead so that he wasn't found out by them.' Ron replied.

'Ok then, I'll make sure I stick to that story when we're talking… Ginny doesn't know the truth does she?' Harry asked.

'No, but Harry I really think that you should tell her, she is your fiancé after all' Harry gave her an alarmed look 'Listen Harry, I know you want to protect her but do you really think that she won't start asking questions. You and Ron are both injured, you still have two more to destroy and she's just seen a man come back from the dead'

At that moment Sirius himself came back in to the room, he was waring hospital robes and a smile, he fell on to the vacant bed 'you know I wasn't really dead Hermione' he said. Hermione ignored him and gave Harry a look of daggers.

Harry couldn't believe he had his Godfather back he couldn't say anything 'where's Ginny anyways?' he asked even though he knew full well where she'd gone.

'I'm here,' she said entering the room with a healer in tow. 'Mum and dad just left, so did Lupin and the others. Oh, someone should tell them' Ginny added as the healer started checking Harry all over.

'I'll go' Hermione said casting a nasty look at Harry she Disapparated.

About five minuets later Hermione was back 'They'll come and see you tomorrow. Ginny we have to go, your mother said they need their rest and it's nearly midnight' She said.

'Ok then, bye Harry' Ginny said kissing and hugging him.

'Bye babe, I love you' Harry replied.

'I love you to' Ginny replied.

Hermione said bye to Ron but she didn't kiss or hug him.

'Hermione's annoyed with me, said I shouldn't have gone with you, oh well she can't stay mad at me for to long she's too happy I'm ok,' Ron said after the girls had left.

'So tell me Ron, what's with you and Hermione?' Sirius asked.

'I only woke up today too. They weren't allowed to leave school until Friday evening; you know, the weekend and all. They have to go back tomorrow night, I think we will be to' Ron said to Harry who looked confused.

'So' Sirius said 'come on, I haven't been around for two years, what's the deal?' he added.

'Well she's having a baby,' Ron said.

'Well that's obvious, so it's yours then?' Sirius said.

'Yeah it's mine, we've been together almost a year, she's due on the eighteenth of May, we got married on…' Ron started.

'You're married?' Sirius said.

'Yeah' Ron said lifting up his left hand to show Sirius his wedding ring 'we got married on Christmas day' he added.

'Harry are you and Ginny…' Sirius started.

'Engaged, yeah since Christmas day, right after midnight' Harry said smiling.

'You know your father proposed to your mother…' Sirius said.

'I already know, Remus told us'

'She was waring Lily's engagement ring wasn't she?' Sirius asked.

Harry nodded 'we went to Godric's Hollow over the holidays and found it' He replied.

'Did you find anything else?' Sirius asked.

'Yes, we found a picture of my grandparents, two silver goblets, my grandmothers ruby ring, dad's id bracelet, a locket, my baby blanket and my dad's wand, oh yeah the sign too, the one that Remus gave them' Harry recited.

'You found your fathers wand, in tact?' Sirius said.

'Yes' Harry nodded.

'That could prove to be very useful Harry' Sirius said.

'To do what?' Harry asked.

'Your wand doesn't work against Voldemort's does it? You haven't defeated him yet have you' Sirius said.

'No… But… do you really think?' Harry stammered.

Sirius was nodding.

'Do you really think that I could use my dad's wand against him? But will it work for me?' Harry asked.

'Maybe not as good as your own would work for you, but you have a connection to your father's wand Harry, you're his flesh and blood' Sirius replied.

Harry had never thought about it before, but now that he did it seemed logical to him.

They talked for a while longer before Harry said 'you know Sirius Grimmauld place and everything was left to me when you, went away since everyone thought that you were dead, even me what happens now? Are you going to go back in to hiding?'

'Well the house etc has passed from my hands, that's a good thing it'll let me get on with things and start all over again. Going back in to hiding, well I don't really know, I was cleared of all charges when they saw Wormtail at the ministry, right before I left, but it's been reported that I'm dead so I really don't have a clue' Sirius said truthfully.

'Where are you going to stay? You can go back to Grim…' Harry started.

'No Harry, I really never want to see that place again, I want to start again like I said.'

I'm going to stay with Remus until I can be sure I can go somewhere else' Sirius interrupted.

'Ok then' Harry said.

They fell silent and said goodnight before turning over and falling asleep.
