Chapter 5

A/N: I'm sorry. Can you forgive me for the lateness? The plot bunnies struck again. I've started another 3 stories! Go me! Anyway, people should really watch raise Your Voice. It's a brill film. BTW, have people heard that the 7th book is going to be called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?

Disclaimer: Do I look like I own Harry Potter? If I did, Siri would NEVER have died, Harry and Ginny would still be together, they would walk in on Ron and Hermione snogging, Malfoy – both Senior and Junior- would be dead, along with Snape, Bella and He-Who-Ignores-His-Guests-cough-Victims-cough-Because-He's-Far-Too-Busy-Spinning-On-A-Spinny-Chair-comma-And-Also-Eating-Jellie-Beans-As-Well-As-Thinking-Up-Ridiculus-Names-To-Place-Inside-His-Very-Long-Hypenated-Name would be dead. Also, the 7th book would be called Harry Potter and the Final Showdown! And Daisy would rule the world! And every person's name would be Bob!

It was two weeks after Harry was pulled from the Lake. He was still in the Hospital Wing in a coma, as he wasn't breathing by himself. Madam Pomfrey had managed to use a spell to make his heart beat, but he wasn't breathing himself. Sirius Black, although a wanted man, was rarely seen any other place than his Godson's bedside in case he woke up. Remus Lupin was by his best friend's side, and was often heard asking Sirius to get some sleep or eat.

Sirius always refused, until he had no choice in the matter. Remus spiked his drink with a sleeping potion to make him stay sleeping for two days, but make it so it felt like a week. Remus felt mean for doing this, though he knew it was best for his friend. He was only looking out for Sirius.

When Sirius woke up he was angry. Angry at Remus, at Dumbledore, at Harry, (although it wasn't his fault (A/N: Okay it is, as Sirius is by his bedside, but he can't help that, can he!? Blame Dumbledore! Or Crouch! JUST NOT HARRY! gets dragged off by the men in white coats still screaming "Not Harry!" lol)), at Madam Pomfrey and most of all, at himself. For neglecting his own needs. He needed to take care of himself for Harry.

Harry. Sirius turned to look at his Godson. Harry was lying there on a bed unnaturally still. He was deathly pale. Remus was sitting by Harry's bedside looking at Sirius worriedly. Sirius knew he didn't look well, but who would after rarely eating and sleeping for two weeks?

One week later and Harry still hadn't woken up, moved or breathed by his self. Madam Pomfrey said that if he hadn't woken up after being in the coma for a month, another week, it was unlikely he ever would. She also said that if ("WHEN!" said Sirius) Harry woke up, she would do what she had always threatened to do. Place a plaque above 'Harry's bed saying "Reserved for Harry James Potter, The-Boy-Who-Lived". Sirius thought she was only joking, but he wasn't sure.

Madam Pomfrey came over to administer Harry's hourly potion. She got Sirius and Remus to lift him up. She poured the potion down Harry's throat, when his back arched and he started spluttering. Sirius gathered Harry in his arms and started whispering in his hear that it would be alright and that he was fine. Remus started rubbing circles on his back.

Once Harry stopped choking he lay against Sirius' chest breathing heavily.

"Sirius…" he whispered weakly.

"Yeah?"

"Where are the Grindylows?"

"What?" Sirius asked

"Doesn't matter." Harry muttered "I'll tell you later."

"Okay. You just rest. Moony…" Sirius said looking at Remus. "You should as well."

"Only if you do Pads." Answered Remus

"Professor?"

"Harry, its Remus or Moony. You know that." Remus said kindly.

(A/N: Save boring you with any more dialogue)

Before Harry and Sirius could reply Harry had fallen asleep again. Sirius sighed.

"I guess we better let Albus know." He said

"Yeah okay. Come on. It's lunch. We'll go down to the Great Hall and let everyone know…And yes you do have to go as Snuffles," Remus said as Sirius opened his mouth then closed it again. "After all, you are still a wanted man."

"Yeah yeah. Come on then old man!" With that Sirius turned into the grim like dog and started running in the vague direction of the Great Hall. Remus just shook his head, looked back at the sleeping Harry and ran after his friend.

All the students were in the Great Hall eating lunch when the doors burst open and a black dog came running in. Professor Trelawney fainted when she saw 'The Grim'. The conversations stopped when Remus Lupin came running in after the dog. (GO SIRI!! As you can prob tell I don't like Trelawney!)

"Snuffles! Bad dog! Don't you dare go running off!" He shouted. "Get back here! Aww no, don't give me the bloody puppy eyes!" Professor McGonagall creased her brow in surprise and Professor Dumbledore got a twinkle in his eyes. (Damn twinkle! It's so annoying!) 'Snuffles' just barked and then looked around the silent room. As he saw Ron and Hermione he cocked his head to the side, then barked happily and ran towards them. As he got near, he jumped, Ron and Hermione looked at each other, then moved to the sides. 'Snuffles' landed on the table. All the girls looked scared, but he just got up, shook his head and tried to use his paw to un-squish his nose. Ron and Lupin were howling with laughter at this point.

"Ha ha! Hermione, he –ha- looks like –giggle- Crookshanks now!" Hermione cuffed him on the back of the head for saying that. Said cat meowed at Ron and scratched him. "Ow! Stupid cat!" By this point the rest of the school was in hysterics. 'Snuffles' leapt up from where he was sitting and started chasing Crookshanks around the Great Hall. McGonagall had had enough at this point. She leapt up.

"Mr. Lupin. Restrain your dog at once!" She shouted. Said dog stopped running, looked at her and lay on the floor in front of her, wagging his tail and giving her puppy eyes.

"I say! That dog seems more human than other dogs. I wonder if he's Sirius Black in disguise. And he's placed Professor Lupin under the Imperious curse." Whispered one of the seventh year Ravenclaw's. Ron and Hermione looked at each other and burst out laughing again at the fact that one student had figured it out without meaning to.
