"Sirius you need to leave." Dumbledore said in a voice that you would never try to disagree with.
Sirius opened his mouth quite a few times in the attempt to say something, but nothing came out. Finally, he unclenched his fist and left the room without taking one last look at me.
"Now Harry, what is exactly going on?"
I told Dumbledore about everything Draco told me exactly the same way he had told me. When I had finished though he did not seem the least bit surprised and kept his eyes closed until he knew I was done.
"Thank you Harry. This new development will be very useful." He said as he sat in a chair across from me.
"Don't thank me if it wasn't for Draco we would still wouldn't know anything."
"I wouldn't go that far, but yes you are right. I am sure Draco had to risk everything to even come here in passing."
I suddenly had a sickening feeling in my stomach I could not get rid of and with no warning, my scar started to burn into my head. As though someone was stabbing me with a red-hot poker.
"Dumbledore…"
"Yes Harry?"
"Can you not say a word of this to Sirius?" I suddenly had a flash back to the day Draco asked me not to breath a word of what was coming to Hermione, but I was doing this because he was already working too hard… or was I?
Sometimes I felt that I wanted Sirius to feel as though his heart had been ripped out of his chest just as mine had the night I heard him say my father's name in his sleep.
"Of course, I understand Harry. Now shall we go downstairs to your party? I understand that Nymphadora worked really hard on it. Plus, Snape should be arriving at any moment." I nodded and followed Dumbledore downstairs.
When we entered the new and improved drawing room, that now had blue and red sparks falling down, the atmosphere was quite changed since the last time I had entered in here.
Dumbledore left my side to gaze at the vines on the wall while I stood there in the doorway like a statue just hoping that Sirius had come back… He had not.
I finally moved as I noticed Snape was coming down the hallway. He was the very last person I wanted to see at the moment, but for some reason he was always stuck to Dumbledore like a lost puppy.
I tried to avoid everyone as they all tried to catch my eye so that I would know to come over, but all they really wanted to know was what was going on. They would all have to wait for Dumbledore to announce it.
I found the table with butterbeer and grabbed three bottles as I went to go sit down in the only armchair in the room.
After a while, I found myself trying to catch Hermione's eye, but not once did she even glance within ten feet of me. I needed her at this moment, but she had forsaken me since Draco left her. I was not sure why. After all, I had told her that Draco did in fact love her. Was that not good enough for her? I would think knowing that the person you loved, loved you back would be the greatest news in the world. Whether you could be together or not.
I however, was not so sure that Sirius loved me anymore or even ever had for that matter. I had to know what his relationship had been with my father before ours went any further.
Suddenly the whole room went dark. I searched around for a bit, but to no avail. Then suddenly I felt someone tap my back.
"SIRIUS!" I screamed as I ran into his arms. He had come back to me, but something was off. Instead of his arms, tightening around me his arms hung loose by his side.
I released him and looked into his eyes, but he was not looking at me. Sirius was looking behind me. I turned around slowly to see my father standing there with a smile on his face and his arms out stretched.
I was certain he was there for me so I took a few steps towards him, but Sirius yanked my shoulder back and threw me to the ground. He did not even look back at me as my father and Sirius walked further into the darkness.
"Harry?" it was a very bland voice coming from behind me. I was not too sure who it was, but it was light where they were so I finally got up and stretched out to the light.
I finally had realized that I had been dreaming when I saw the drawing room again and Snape standing directly in front of me, looking annoyed as usual.
"Has anyone ever told you that you talk in your sleep before?" Snape asked as he crossed his arms and sneered down at me.
"I have heard something to that effect. What of it?"
"Next time you want to fall asleep then make sure it isn't in a room full of people." I suddenly realized that it was my birthday and everyone I knew and cared about was in this room at the moment. I looked around Snape to see if everyone was staring at me, but everyone was gone.
"Did everyone leave?"
"No they are sleeping in various places, but Dumbledore did leave. Now if you don't mind could you leave so I could get some sleep." I finally noticed a large bed at the other side of the room and assumed it was Snape's. Why he was staying here tonight, I was not quite sure.
I headed back upstairs rubbing my eyes trying t remember what I had just dreamed, but no matter how hard I tried it felt as though something was blocking it from reentering my mind.
When I finally got to my bedroom door, I wondered if Sirius was back or not. I took a deep breath and opened the lit room. Sirius was laying in one of the chairs with his feet propped up on the bed facing the door.
I walked over to him and kissed him lightly. I knew he needed his rest and we could work out all of the problems later.

A/N: Do you not think that Harry needs to stop putting stuff off and actually deal with his problems for once? I hope that he will learn… one day. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter… IN ADDITION, PLEASE REVIEW!
