Harry spent most of that afternoon visiting with Sirius, Lupin, Ron, and Hermione in the little hospital room. The bright side to the Healers being so put off by Sirius was that they basically had the room to themselves the whole day. No patients were admitted to the room, though Harry could distinctly remember seeing all the rooms he walked past that morning having at least two patients, sometimes even three per room. Healers hardly checked in on them and when they did, the visit was short and simple before they quickly excited the room. Now that Sirius knew he wasn't about to be chucked back into Azkaban he seemed to find this a lot more amusing. In the all too short of time Sirius had been in his life, Harry had never seen him looking happier and at ease than he did now. He could almost look past how awfully thin and weak he was when he burst into his dog like laugh, and a smile stretched across his face that made him look young again.

They told him about what happened at the Department of Mysteries the night he had gone through the veil, and how they had ended up there in the first place with Neville, Luna, and Ginny in tow. How Umbridge had been sacked, along with Cornelius Fudge too, after the whole blunder. This made Sirius laugh, though darkly. Though he was most pleased by the fact that Lucius and some of the other Death Eaters had been taken to Azkaban having been trapped by Dumbledore. Harry was telling them how Voldemort had possessed him, something that greatly fascinated Lupin, Hermione, and Ron as well for they hadn't been present for this part of the night.

"How did you fight him out?" Sirius demanded his eyes full of with curiosity as they bore down on Harry.

"I'm not really sure, Dumbledore says it was love. They pain in my scar made my head feel like it was going to burst, I just wanted it to end. I thought of you falling through the veil and how I'd see you again, and maybe that wasn't so bad, and as soon as that thought hit he was gone." Harry explained kind of in a trance thinking back to that night unsure of how to convey entirely what happened. Sirius's eyes lingered on his own a long time, they said more than words could.

Lupin then told him about meeting Embry and her giving him a tip off to the veil. Ron, Hermione, and Harry popping in places to fill in the gaps of meeting with Mr. Clarkson, going through the veil, and Embry betraying them only to have the Death Eaters show up once again. Harry thought he saw his godfather look a certain way when Embry was mentioned, perhaps uncomfortable. He made a mental note to ask him about this later for the others didn't seem to notice this and Harry didn't want to put him on the spot.

Hermione, Ron, and himself somehow ended up telling Sirius stories from their first and second year at Hogwarts as well. Sirius had heard rumors and bits about what happened those years but never in full detail and was greatly fascinated by their stories.

"James would have been proud of you, putting his old cloak too good use. Though I will say maybe with some better intentions then us Marauder's had when we were using it." Sirius said beaming with pride and sharing a wink with Lupin who shook his head, though with a smile on his face.

Harry wished the day would never end, he hadn't felt so at peace and carefree in quite some time. Having Sirius back was amazing, he had a guardian, someone like a parent. Someone who had insight to his past, to his mum and dad whom he would never know but through other people's stories. Sirius told of his parents in a way that painted a picture of them clearer than he had ever seen before, having known them better than anyone.

"I think I better be off, I need to get some rest." Lupin said standing up and stretching, he did look quite exhausted. "I think you three should get back to The Burrow, Molly will be worried." Ron and Hermione stood up nodding, Ron rubbing his stomach which was growling.

"I'm going to stay here with Sirius for a bit." Harry said while gesturing for the others to head off and get some dinner and in Lupins case, some much needed sleep. Hermione gently hugged Sirius, and Ron grasped his hand saying how glad he was to see him back. Lupin gave Sirius a quick one-armed hug and told him he'd see him soon before they all three excited the room.

"Sirius there's something I need to tell you, something I haven't told Ron and Hermione about yet either." Harry said after they had left, Sirius sat up in his bed looking more alert. He merely nodded his head for Harry to continue.

"You know of the Prophecy that everyone fought so hard over last year. The one Voldemort wanted to get his hands on, while the Order of the Phoenix worked tirelessly to keep his hands off of?" Sirius gave a short nod still looking alert. "Well I've heard and it and I know what it's about, it's about me and why Voldemort tried to kill me. That neither can live, while the other survives." Harry quoted miserably. He quickly told Sirius the rest of what Dumbledore had told him and in the end Sirius looked stressed and wide eyed.

"I can't believe this. I can't believe Dumbledore never told me." He said stunned, his eyes looking troubled now.

"He wants to start private lessons with me this year, I think there is more to it as well based on that." Harry said and Sirius ran a hand through his hair looking thoughtful.

"Look Harry, I'm a free man now and I'm your guardian. I have more opportunity than ever to be there for you and I'm going to use it to the fullest, I will be meeting with Dumbledore immediately when I get released. You won't go through this alone, you've got me now." Sirius said with a fierceness to his voice.
