Chapter 5: St. Mungo's

Sirius returned to Harry about 15 minutes later with good news.

"Well Harry looks like you won't have to stay here much longer."

"What do you mean?" Harry was not paying much attention; he was still wrapped up in his earlier thoughts about telling Sirius the truth of why he was in here.

"I went to go see when they would let you go, remember?" Sirius was starting to if Harry had lost some thinking power with his head wounds.

"Umm…Yeah I do now I was just thinking is all…" Tell him you idiot! Harry's conscious was still trying to get him to tell Sirius, but he had made his decision. No! I can't, I can not worry him with my silly problems.

Sirius walked over to the side of the bed and sat down. "What about?" He could tell something was bothering Harry.

"Nothibg much really just…letting my mind wonder I guess."

"You guess? Shouldn't you know what's going on in your own mind?" Sirius paused here uncertain of how to go on; he decided to talk from the heart. "Harry remember you can tell me anything, anything at all, you're my godson Harry I will always listen to what you have to say."

Harry's heart squeezed at the words, how can I not tell him? He deserves to know. Harry looked back over so that he could tell Sirius everything but his courage faltered and he settled on this. "I know that Sirius, believe me I do but I wasn't lying I was really just letting my mind wonder." Sirius looked as if he was going to object but Harry interrupted him. " Oh! Sirius, you said I would get out of here soon but you never said how soon." Mission accomplished Harry had succeeded in distracting him.

"Oh yeah, I completely forgot. They said you could go home later tonight. Of course I'll take you back to the muggles, but only after our visit to St. Mungo's." At Sirius' words Harry's blood ran cold. So I am going back, I had hoped…of course Sirius wouldn't take me with him why should he? That would be going against Dumbledore, He wouldn't do that. Sirius watched Harry with concern as his face paled.

"Harry? Harry are you all right?" Harry looked over at Sirius trying to suppress the fear plastered onto his face but was unable to speak as his mind brought back vision after vision of the old days…the days before Hogwarts. "Harry? What's going on?" Sirius continued to question the boy as Harry gulped pushing back his emotions and managed to grab his voice as he realized what Sirius was saying. Yet as hard as he tried he failed to stop his stutter while he tried to convince Sirius he was okay.

"No, I'm f-fine." Sirius looked at him full of doubt so Harry took another large gulp of air and tried harder. "Really Sirius, I am not sure what came over me, my wandering thoughts just got a little…off course"

"Mm hmm…Sure I believe that, Harry what are you hiding from me I want to know." He said it gently but Harry heard the demand behind the words, he had to tell him something, and if he couldn't tell the truth then he would have to play into the lie his uncle had already established.

"All right…Sirius… your right you deserve to know the truth." He was stalling as long as he could trying to come up with a good way to put this. "I…umm…I-it's the, the kids that hurt me, I…I err…I don't really want to go back over there where they are." Harry was tripping and stumbling throughout the lie trying to come up with it as he went. Apparently the stutter made it more believable though because Sirius reached over and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Thank you for telling me, but you don't have to worry about those kids if they give you any more problems. Any at all, then just send me an owl and your ex-convict, wizard of a Godfather will come right over and teach them a lesson." They both had to laugh at this, especially since they both knew how that would look, a grown up man waving around what appears to be a small branch, at a bunch of muggle children.

"Umm…Excuse me." A young nurse had appeared in the doorway to Harry's room and waited until they calmed down before she continued. "My name is Ashley and I have come to give you Harry's discharge papers. All you have to do is sign the bottom and then you're free to go."

"Oh, good I was getting awful tired of this place." once he had gotten the papers signed he all but sprinted out of the hospital.

"What's with the rush?" Harry asked as he leaned over put his hands on his knees to try and catch his breath. Thank God for morphine.

He thought as he was sure the heavy breathing would be very painful without the drug.

"I told you I was getting tired of being in there, are you okay?" He asked the question as he looked over at his bent Godson.

"Yeah, just peachy. Could we try not to run?" He asked as he straightened up some and clutched his ribs. Apparently the morphine didn't rid him of all the pain. He thought as he bent back over.

"I'm sorry I wasn't even thinking, I just wanted out, are you going to make it?"

"Yeah, just give me a second."

"Fine with me, I could enjoy this for a very long time." He said as he turned his face up to the sun.

"You have been free for a while now, why are you still so obsessed with being out here?"

"Harry, Even though I have been free a while, I have been captive a lot longer."

He thought about it for a minute before he shrugged it off and succeeded in straightening up all the way and walked up behind Sirius. "All right I'm good, we can go now." He looked over at Sirius and the joy filled look on his face. "That is if you're ready, Sirius?"

Sirius slowly turned his face slowly over towards Harry and smiled. "It's so nice out here would you mind if we walked most of the way?"

Harry smiled back as he judged how much pain he was in, it was not to bad as long as he didn't move wrong, or run, so he nodded and followed off after Sirius at a slow pace, just enjoying the beautiful day.

Sirius was the one who broke the peaceful silence a good ten minutes later. "Harry?"

"Yeah, what is it?"

He watched as Sirius took a large breath and asked in a quiet voice, "Have they ever done anything like this before?"

"They?" Harry was completely confused, who was he talking about?

"Yes they I mean those kids that, that…" He trailed off and settled for a gesture in Harry's direction.

"Oh." Harry tried to think of what to say and settled for a half-truth. "Not really, they never liked me much, they would tease me and chase me around sometimes but this, this was the worst they ever did." Harry figured he would leave Dudley out of these little chases.

"Hmm." It was easy to see he was angry but Harry decided not to bring it up and instead decided upon continuing there walk in silence, well almost silence they kept up with occasional small talk.

It was another hour or so later before they walked up to the front of the hospital, it wasn't a long wait there were very few people there waiting, 4 to be exact all with varying ailments. Two of which Harry had to try very hard not to laugh at. The two people where obviously there together because they were both yelling rather loudly that it was the other persons fault they looked the way they did. There was a man and a woman, the man had an interesting arrangement of pink and magenta polka dots all over his face that matched rather well with the fuzzy pink bow on top of his head that seemed to be made of his hair; not to mention the large fluffy bunny ears that sat on either side of the bow. The woman didn't look any better and was quite fun to look at. Her nose was no longer a nose but a long elephant trunk that made a loud noise every few minutes and was paired rather strangely with the tall giraffes neck covered in green and purple spots and Ears that hung down to her feet with large piercings in the center.

While the Harry may have been able to control his laughter Sirius sure couldn't , well not for long anyway, he held it in for the first couple seconds after seeing them, but it was all downhill from there.

At first Sirius' small laughs went unnoticed by the screaming couple but as soon as the girls trunk raised and let out that loud noise Sirius threw his head back and was simply roaring with laughter, this got the groups attention.

"What are you laughing about?!" The man shouted over at Sirius.

"Want t-the truth?" Sirius tried to control his laughing as he asked the question, but he failed miserably as he continued to rock with laughter.

"Of course I want the truth!"

"W-well then, I am l-laughing at you two! You look hilarious, h-how can you expect me not to laugh? Have you looked at yourself lately?!"

"Well, well still its rude to laug-Hey!" He was interrupted by a smack to the head from the girl next to him.

"Oh shut up! We look ridiculous and you know it! Don't give him a hard time because you look stupid!"

"I look stupid! YOU look stupid!" She ignored him though and instead focused on Sirius. "Sorry about that, he's a little upset about all the pink. I'm Sarah and this is Henry."

"Sirius and this is my Godson Harry."

"Sirius and Harry" She paused for a moment and stole a quick glance at Harry's scar then nodded as if confirming something Harry knew nothing about. "You two make an interesting group seeing as you are both very widely known, for much different reasons I might add."

"I am sure they know that their famous Sarah. They don't need you to tell them." Henry had reduced to pulling his hands over his chest, sticking his lip out and pouting like a two year old. Sarah looked as if she were about to yell at him so Harry turned to Sirius and pulled him away.

"Don't we have to sign in or something?" Harry was tugging nervously at Sirius' sleeve.

"Huh?" Sirius tore his glaze away from the amusing sight to look down at Harry. "Oh, Yeah, over here." He said as he moved reluctantly towards the front desk. However his attention was easily redirected towards the redhead behind the desk . She was medium height with fiery red curls and bright blue eyes.

"Hello there, how may I help you?" She asked as she looked up away from the papers she was shuffling around with on her desk.

"I need to sign in my Godson over there." He gestured over to where he thought Harry was, little did he know Harry had walked over to his other side. It's amazing he sees a cute girl and suddenly he is oblivious to everything else going on.

She looked over to the empty space with a confused look and then turned to where Harry really was and a large grin spread over her face. "I think you mean over here." She said as she pointed over to the spot where Harry was standing. Now it was Sirius' turn to be confused.

"Huh." He looked around at where her finger pointed and began to look embarrassed. "How did you get over there I didn't hear you move?"

"I don't think you would have heard an elephant walk by." He said as he stifled a laugh.

The redhead tried to change the subject by pushing a clipboard towards him. "Here, just fill out these forms and you and Mr.….um what's your name?"

Harry was about to answer but Sirius beat him to it. "Oh! I'm sorry I didn't introduce us my name is Sirius and this is my Godson Harry."

She looked back over at Harry and her eyes flickered up towards his scar. "I'm Chloe, anyway then you and Harry can go sit over there and fill out the forms."

"Sure, here Harry you take these over there I want to talk to Chloe for a little."

"All right." Harry said as he took the forms and walked away chuckling. He walked away from the desk finding him and Sirius a spot among the group of soft green hospital chairs, he wasn't sure if Sirius would even be joining him for the wait but saved him a seat just incase.

Sarah and Henry went back before them their arguments continued as they followed a short man through a pair of double doors at the back of the room.

It was ten more minutes of waiting alone before the man reappeared looking down at parchment in his hand. " ?" The man called out looking up and searching the room with his eyes.

"Here." Harry called out rising from his seat, noting Sirius' absence he looked over towards the front desk and noticed Sirius making a quick goodbye and rushing over to Harry slipping a folded piece of parchment into his pocket. "Glad you could join me." Harry chuckled as they followed the man into the back room walking past several rooms.

"What can I say…" Sirius shrugged as they entered the small room.

"Here you are." The short man gestured around the room before heading towards the door. "The doctor will be here shortly."

They had a male doctor who was almost entirely bald and was fairly tall with a very large gut.

"I am ,If you would just have a seat on the bed over there." he said as he motioned to the large blue bed in the middle of the room "Now Mister. Black, you say he was at a muggle hospital before?"

"Yes, that's right."

"I don't like those places but they do make my job easier, so if you could just give me the discharge papers I can see what all is wrong and fix it right up." He said as he held his hand out expectantly.

"Disch-Oh! Yes, I remember! Hold on…." Sirius paused as he rummaged through his pockets. "Found them! Here you go!"

The doctor looked slightly annoyed as he grabbed the papers and looked them over. He nodded his head as he read, and once he was done he laid the papers down and said, "These are easy fixes we will have you out of here in no time."

He was right all too soon he was headed back to the Dursleys.

So what did you think? Review please! I changed it up some from what it originally was but if this is your first time reading it then it really doesn't matter.
