Sirius grimaced, "Is that when he threw you down the stairs?" Harry started to say no but Sirius said, "I heard him threaten you, I know he threw you down the stairs. You will not get in any trouble. Harry what your Uncle did to you was very bad. He is the bad person not you. We'll talk more when you feel better but for now you need to know magic is real, and you are one of the people who can use it."

Harry looked like he was going to cry, "So I am a freak, and I do freaky things."

Sirius said, "Do these kids look like freaks to you?" Harry shook his head and Sirius said, "They can do magic too, and so can I. Your Aunt and Uncle can't and it scares them that you can. They hurt you because they are scared of you."

Harry thought for a moment then said, "Can I see some magic?"

Sirius said, "How do you feel about big dogs?"

Harry said, "I like dogs."

So Sirius transformed into his dog and trotted over to the bed. He put his front paws on the bed and lay his head on them. Harry reached over and scratched his ears and smiled.

From the door Remus smiled, "I always knew he was just a big kid."

Albus laughed and clapped him on the back, "I think a big kid is what will do Harry the most good right now."

Healer O'Neal stepped into the room, "Hello Harry, how are you today?"

Harry froze up and didn't speak. Sirius had moved back to a chair, transformed and said, "It's ok Harry, he's a healer. He makes people better when they're sick or hurt. He's already fixed your injuries."

Harry whispered, "Is a Healer like a doctor?"

Healer O'Neal said, "Yes in many ways I'm like a doctor only instead of needles and pills we use magic and potions."

Sirius asked, "You know about Muggle medicine?"

Healer O'Neal said, "I'm Muggle born."

Sirius said, "Harry's Mum was Muggle born."

Harry said rather loudly for him, "You knew my Mum?"

Sirius said, "Of course I did, she and your Dad were two of my best friends in the world. They made me your Godfather."

Harry said, "Oh, I thought you were like Cinderella's godmother."

Everyone but the Healer looked confused so he said, "Muggle fairy tale."

Sirius said, "I don't know that story can you tell me."

Harry said, "Well Cinderella's Dad died. And she was raised by her evil step mother that made her work like a servant. But her Fairy Godmother used magic and changed her dress so she could go to the ball in a pumpkin and meet the prince. The prince fell in love with her and had only a shoe to find her with. But the evil stepsister broke the shoe before Cinderella could try it on. But it was ok because she had the other one. Then he took her to the palace to be a princess and saved her from her evil step mother and step sisters."

The Healer was chuckling as everyone tried to follow Harry's story. The distraction worked well because he could run his diagnostic spells without scaring Harry.

Sirius said, "Well it sounds like you and that girl have a lot in common."

Harry said, "Does that mean you're going to save me from my Aunt and Uncle?"

Sirius said, "I'm going to try my best to do that."

Harry asked, "I don't have to dance at a ball do I?"

Sirius laughed, "No I won't make you dance at a ball."

Ginny said, "I wanna dance at a ball. I like your stowy."

Harry smiled at Ginny, "I guess I could dance at a ball with you. But nobody else."

Ginny said, "Will dat make me a pwincess?"

Percy said, "No princess' are very pretty."

Harry said, "She's prettier than the princess in the story book."

Ginny said, "So I can be a pwincess." She stuck her tongue out at Percy.

Healer O'Neal was trying hard not to laugh at the kids, "Harry there are four more adults that would like to see you. Can I bring them in?"

Harry hesitated and Fred said, "It's our Mum and Dad, Professor Dumbledore and Mr. Lupin, who is Sirius' friend."

Harry said, "Can my friends stay too?"

The Healer said, "Yes, no problem."

So the four other adults walked into the room and sat behind the kids like Sirius had done. Harry was looking very nervous so Sirius changed into his dog form again and jumped up on the bed behind Harry. Harry relaxed some and leaned against Sirius.

Molly said, "Hi, I'm Molly Weasley and this is my husband Arthur. You've already met all our kids."

Harry said quietly, "Very nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Weasley." Mr. Weasley nodded at him.

Molly smiled, "This gentleman is Professor Dumbledore, and that one is Remus Lupin."

Harry said, "Very nice to meet you sirs." The two men nodded at him too.

Everyone was chatting comfortably when Harry cocked his head, "Professor Dumbledore?"

Albus looked at him, "Yes Harry."

Harry asked, "What does professor mean?"

Albus said, "A professor is someone who teaches students."

Harry grimaced, "What grade do you teach?"

Albus said, "I don't teach a grade like your school. I actually run a school for wizards. You'll be able to go when you're old enough."

Harry was confused, "A wizard school? What would I have to learn?"

Albus smiled, "We teach you how to use your magic. So you don't use it on accident anymore, that's what is happening when weird things happen around you."

Harry said, "Then I need to go now. I have a lot of weird things that happen around me."

Albus said, "What kinds of things?"

Harry scratched his head, "My teachers hair turned blue. Once when I was running from Dudley I ended up on the roof. When my Aunt cuts my hair its always back to normal by the time I wake up. And sometimes when my Uncle hits me the hurts are all gone over night. When Dudley breaks a toy and gives it to me it sometimes gets repaired while it's in my cupboard."

Albus was struggling to hide a smile when he said, "Yes those are all instances of accidental magic. This cupboard is that where you keep your toys?"

Harry nodded, "Everything is in the cupboard, toys, clothes and bed."

Albus sobered, "Oh so it's your bedroom? Well Harry I hate to leave such splendid company but I have some business to attend to. I will come by and visit again alright?"

Harry said, "Yes sir that would be nice. I've enjoyed talking to you too."

Albus said, "Healer O'Neal, I give my permission for Harry to go with Sirius when he is released."

Sirius jumped off the bed and changed back to his human form, "Harry I'm just going to see the Professor out, I'll be right back."
