Chapter Two
Sirius' POV
I opened my eyes. Boy, did my head hurt. It was as if I was hit by a beaters' bat on my head. The sun was way too bright and everything danced around me. Maybe that's why I thought I saw a head bent over me. I tried to lift myself up, but it was much too painful and I lost conscious again.
When I opened my eyes again, I was surrounded by James, Peter and Remus, all looking worried to death. Apparently they noticed I was conscious again, because the next moment I was flooded with their questions. How did I get here? Why's my head hurt? What happened?
Hang on, my head's hurt? I touched my head and lifted my hand to my face. When I managed to focus my eyes on it I saw it was covered in blood. What the hell happened to me? I had no idea and my friends' rumblings sis nothing to improve the ache that was pounding in my head.
I tried again to lift myself into a sitting position. It was horribly painful, but with Remus' help I managed it, and looked around me.
"Where's that girl?" I asked them, looking around for the curly head I saw before. I was positive it wasn't one of my friends, for that person had long curls and was obviously a girl.
"What?" James asked, looking thoroughly confused.
The worried look on his face was so much unlike him I had to laugh out. Two seconds later I found out it hurts my head so I settled for a few snores.
James, apparently, did not find this just as amusing. "Damn it, Sirius, it's not funny!" he said. "We come here when you're half an hour late to find you lying on the ground with your head bleeding, and you're laughing at me?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," I said. "But you did make a funny face, though." He frowned at me, but I could see he wasn't angry anymore.
"Sirius," Remus cut in, pushing James aside. "What happened to you?" He asked, his face dead serious.
"I honestly don't know," I answered. "I was lying in the water when something hit my head," I touched hurting head again. "And then I woke up here, and there was someone here with me."
"There wasn't anyone here when we came, Sirius," James put in. "that must've been one hard blow you got."
"C'mon James, I know there was. It's not like I was hallucinating or anything!" I said, and added "This person had probably saved my life, otherwise' how did I get here?"
"Erm… right," said Remus, frowning. "Well, it doesn't matter now, does it? He's not here now (she isn't here, I thought), and we should take you to the hospital wing."
"This is the nicest thing someone's said to me today," I said. I was dying from the pain in my head, and the thought of madam Pomfry's painkillers made me want to cheer.
I got up two my feet and managed to stand straight for about to seconds before I fainted again.
