Chapter one

Harry sat waiting for Neville to make his move, it was the fifth game of chess that he and Neville had played that morning and Neville was once again winning. It made Harry smile that he could be happy losing to someone for a change. Neville moved his queen and checked Harry's king.

"Check Mate." Neville said happily.

"Oh man. I didn't see that coming at all!" Harry said laughing.

"You have to watch your opponent more closely Harry, look for their weakest point and use it against them." Neville said resetting the board. "Should we move to something else." he asked looking around at the free game tables around the lunch room.

"Nah, I like chess." Harry said rubbing at his temples.

"Harry you alright?" Neville questioned fixing the last of the pawns on the broad.

"Yeah I'm fine Neville."

"I heard you screaming last night." Neville said softly. "I was a bit worried about you."

"I just had another dream no big deal." Harry said shrugging it off. He'd been in therapy for the last six months, with people telling him that his whole life was a lie, and he was acting as though he believed them. He was taking his meds and he was acting normal he didn't talk to the people he knew, he didn't even try and tell Neville anymore. He would make them believe he was fine and he would get out of here.

"So when is Luna coming today?" Harry asked changing the subject. While the Neville he remembered from his school days would have blushed at the mention of his girlfriend, this Neville just smiled.

"She should be here soon; she had a day off from school."

"That's nice; do you want me to leave when she gets here?" Harry asked feeling a little out of place around the happy couple.

"When who gets here?" Luna asked walking up to the two and smiling at Harry. "Hi Harry." She said before leaning down to give Neville a quick kiss.

"Luna." Harry said. "How's life been?"

"Didn't you see me just yesterday, and ask the same question?" she said laughing. She took the seat next to Neville and looked down at the chess broad. "I should bring you some cards tomorrow." She said half to herself.

"Don't worry we have fun with this." Neville said giving her a charming smile.

"But you'll get bored after a while won't you?"

"Yes."

"No." Neville and Harry looked at each other and shared a smile, before Harry added. "There are tons of things to do in here; we just like this table best." He was now trying to make up for what he'd answered; feeling horrible that he'd made her sad.

"Are you sure? It's not that big of a deal you know?" Luna said gripping Neville's hand.

"You don't have to worry about us; we'll both be out of here in no time." Neville said nudging Harry's shin under the table.

"Yeah that's right I should be released at the end of the month."

"Really! So soon I would think that they would want to keep you at least another year." Luna said honestly surprised.

"Yeah they're coming to see me tonight." Harry said a smile creeping into his eyes. "They said they have something important to tell me, so I'm a little nervous." Harry had two reasons for shutting up about his real life one: was Ginny, she had started to work as his nurse six months ago and he knew that if he could get out of here he could get her back. Second: was his parents were still alive here, (wherever here was), and he was just two happy with that to stay in here any longer.

"They must be so happy!" Luna said while Harry and Neville started a new game of chess.

"Yeah I think they are." Harry said moving his castle four spaces.

Neville countered by moving his rook and blocking Harry from his king. "Want me to come along to this meeting too?" Neville asked looking up at him.

"No, I think I'll be alright on my own tonight." Harry said. "Thanks Neville."

"No problem."

Luna sighed flopping over onto Neville's lap. He looked down at her smiling. "Sorry I know this is boring for you."

"Nope I like watching you play." Luna said smiling sweetly.

Neville blushed while Harry made a gagging sound; he regretted it almost instantly when Luna leaned up and demanded of Neville. "Kiss me..." who complied without hesitation.

Harry looked away from the couple a red tint coloring his cheeks. He spotted Ginny standing in the doorway looking around the room for a free table. Harry was about to wave her over when Ron and Hermione came and sat in the two free seats.

"Harry." Ron said in a slurred voice smiling happily at him. Hermione was staring at Luna and Neville who were still snuggling, with a kiss every now and then.

"Ron, it's nice to see you out of solitary." Harry said feeling a deep depression start to settle in his stomach. Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, Harry's best friends were nothing like he'd remembered. They were both easily the most insane out of all the patients in the whole hospital.

Ron smiled at Harry who smiled back not wanting to upset the metal person sitting next to him. Hermione looked over and smiled devilishly at Harry making his skin crawl.

"Hermione..."

"Harry you look amazing as always." Hermione said leaning across the table.

Harry backed up feeling like there wasn't enough space in the whole room to let him be far enough away from her. Ron looked back and forth between the two and started to cry loudly hitting his hands against the table and kicking everyone's legs.

"Ow!" Luna yelled getting up from the table and dragging Neville out of his seat. "Sorry Harry we're going to go for a walk."

Harry looked at her pleadingly but she just smiled, waving over her shoulder at him as they walked farther away from the table. 'How could you just leave me here?' He thought plotting revenge against his ex-friends.

Hermione was in the middle of soothing Ron when Harry declared that he had to leave.

"What?" Ron asked tears running down his red face. "Hairy you can't leave me!" Ron grabbed at Harry shirt stopping him from walking away from the table. "Please! Don't leave me with this woman!"

Hermione snapped her face getting that dark shadow that she was going to do something crazy, when suddenly she grabbed Ron by his shirt collar. "You stupid man!" she said before she mashed her lips over his.

Harry gagged, ripping his shirt out of Ron grip and running for the hallway.

A minute later he was standing in the hall looking for Neville and Luna when he spotted Dumbledore, the crazy old man from across the hall. He smiled walking over to him and his 'brother'.

"Albus how are you and your brother doing today?" Harry asked smiling at the painting on the wall. It was still picture of a Billy goat eating grass in the mountain hill of Iceland.

"Hello Harry!" Dumbledore said brightly smiling a toothless smile at Harry. "Cottage Cheese..." Dumbledore said

in a high pitched voice, pulling at his hair and patting the wall.

"Sorry what was that?" asked Harry unfazed by his craziness.

"Harry my dear boy. When did you get here?" he asked eyes widening.

"Oh, just now, I'm sorry I have to get going I have an appointment." Harry said smiling and waving to the brothers.

Harry was waiting for his parents in the lunch room late that day when Severus Snape walked into the room and spotted Harry sitting alone, Snape started to wave franticly at Harry. 'Oh crap.' Harry thought sighing.

It had been nerve-raking the first time he'd seen Snape again. After Harry had watched him die and found out the truth about him and his mother, he'd been at a loss that first day. Now though it was normal for Snape to come and find him in the evenings.

"Harry I have a new potion I want you to try!" Snape said plopping down a cross from Harry and slapping two cups on the polished surface. "It's for transforming into girls!" he said giggling insanely while Harry stared at him feeling uneasy about drinking another one of his concoctions, last time it had made him sick for a week. Which he had to admit was impressive since all he had were juices and salad dressings to use.

"Really? Have you tried it out yet?" Harry asked smiling which he fingered the cool cup, with its yellowish brown liquid.

"Not yet I was waiting for you." Snape said taking his own glass. "Shall we?"

Harry thought for a moment and decided that it was better to help him out rather than make him unhappy. "Sure."

"Bottoms up!" Snape said smiling a crocked grin.

Harry gulped down the mixture keeping it off his tongue as much as possible. He slapped the cup down at the same time as Snape and they looked at each other waiting for the reaction.

Harry started to feel sick, his stomach twisted and he felt the bile rise in his throat, he was about to heave up his lunch when he heard his name being called.

"Harry? Harry Potter?"

Harry turned in his seat looking up at Ginny who was standing in front of his parents he stood and waved them over. Snape looked up and thank Harry before excuse himself to the bathroom, most likely to vomit up his 'potion'.

"See you later." Harry called after him.

"Harry?" Lily Potter said coming to hug him.

"Hi mum." Harry said feeling tear prickle at his eyes. "Dad."

James Potter smiled hugging his son and wife.
