"Out," roared a familiar voice. Harry scrambled to his feet looking around. They had arrived in the gloomy basement kitchen of number 12 Grimmauld Place. In the little light in the kitchen he saw Kreacher moving out into the hallway and then he noticed Sirius.
"What's going on, Phineas Nigellus said that Arthur's been badly injured."
"Ask Harry," said Fred.
"Yeah I want to hear this for myself," said George. Harry explained what he had seen but he left out a few details like the fact that he had been the snake that attacked Mr. Weasley. He had been glade he had because the way they looked at him, their gaze told him that they thought it was his fault and all he did was witness the attack.
After awhile Fred turned to Sirius, "is Mum here yet?"
"No she probably doesn't know yet," Sirius said. And from there everything became much worse Fred George and Ginny started to yell at Sirius for not letting them go see their father but it was Ron who put a stop to the fighting. Sirius quickly summoned butterbears for them all. Harry only took his for something to do. They all seemed to blame him as much as he blamed himself it was all too much to bare.
It seemed like they had been sitting in that dark kitchen for days when Mrs. Weasley finally appeared, she looked warn out, "he will be alright, he is sleeping at the moment so we can go see him later," Mrs. Weasley said.
"That is good to hear, how about breakfast," Sirius said getting up and to cook. He had made bacon, eggs and toast, "Kreacher!"
But there was no respond he call the elf a couple more times before blowing it off, Harry got up to help his Godfather but as he walked back to table with the tray of food it was pulled from his hands by Mrs. Weasley. She sat the tray down and hugged him.
"Thank you. If it wasn't for you they might not have found him for hours and by then it would have been too late," Mrs. Weasley said. Harry wanted to say something but he found himself unable to speak. She let him go and turned to Sirius.
"They don't know how long that Arthur will have to stay there so we might be here thru Christmas I hope that won't be a bother," she told him.
"Not at all, not at all. The more the merrier," he said as he sat down to eat. They all enjoyed their meal in silence but it was a different type of silence everyone seemed to be much happier. Everyone but Harry who did his best to not let it show and it seemed that no one could tell.
After they finished their meals, Mrs. Weasley sent them off to get some sleep before they went to see Mr. Weasley. The second Ron got into his bed he went right off to sleep, Harry wasn't as lucky. By the time they were called down Harry had only managed a small nap but he felt much better.
Down stairs Moody and Tonks were both waiting for them, Harry guessed because he was going they need extra protection. The thought didn't brighten his mood and what made it worse, was all the questions that Tonks kept asking him about what he had seen.
As they walked to St. Mungo's Harry had the feeling that they were being watched, but Harry knew that couldn't have been the case or Moody would have noticed. Then he noticed Moody stop as if he had seen something.
"What is it?" Harry asked Moody quickly.
"I thought I saw… It is nothing just a cat," Moody said, but Harry didn't believe it. Moody had seen something else, had it been a death eater that had been scared off by Moody and Tonks?
Naruko was mentally kicking herself for her slip; the man Moody had seen her even if it had been for a split second. She couldn't wait until they got somewhere safe she hadn't slept since the night before last then all the chakra she had to use didn't help the situation. But on the bright side she at least got ramen out of the deal.
After about twenty minutes of walking she couldn't help but think how slow these people really were. But they finally reached St. Mungo's; she changed her appearance so that she could go inside and not have to worry about someone seeing her. She changed her hair brunette shoulder length she removed her whisker marks and she put a couple inches on her height.
She decided to meet them up at the room since she already knew where it was and would look a little less suspicious than following them thru the hospital. When she was on the right floor she ducked into an empty room and activated her Sharingan Rinnegan mix. She sat watching them from the room until she saw Harry and his friends leave the Mr. Weasley's room without adults. She decided that she would go after them she deactivated the Jubi's eye. She stepped from the room right in front of Harry and the Weasley children.
"Hello," she said smiling.
"Hi," Ginny said while the guys just kind of stared at her.
"Is there something wrong?" she asked. The guys just shock their head's, "then what is it?"
"Nothing," Harry said quickly.
"I am George," one of the twins said.
"I am Fred," the other said.
"I am Ginny and our brother Ron," Ginny said pointing at Ron who still hadn't seemed to find his voice.
"I am Harry," he said.
"My name is…Sakura," she said saying the first name that came to mind, "so what are you doing here?" she asked trying to hide how much she knew about them.
"We are here visiting our father," Fred said.
"You all are related?" she asked looking at Harry.
"No, I am just a friend," Harry said quickly.
"Oh, you must be a good friend I hate being in hospitals," she said looking around as if she expected someone to jump out at her and order her back into bed.
"Why are you here?" Ginny asked.
"A friend asked me to check up on someone," she said, which wasn't a total lie, "I am going to get something to eat would you like to join me?"
"Yes," Ron nearly shouted Ginny placed her face in her hand, Harry and the twins did their best to keep from laughing at Ron. She smiled before grabbing Ron and Harry by the arms.
"To the cafeteria," she declared, but along the way they had gotten lost. They met a strange man who wanted to sign everything who had apparently been there teacher at one point. Then they met up with Neville whose parents were here because they had been tortured into insanity.
Somehow Harry and Naruko got separated from the others, "is there something bothering you Harry?"
"No," he said.
"You can tell me I won't say anything to anyone," she said kindly.
"I told you there is…" Harry said angrily but stopped when he saw her smiling at him.
"You are a bad liar," she said he frowned at her, they stared at each other.
"You wouldn't understand," he finally said.
"Try me," she said sitting down on a bench then patted the seat next to her. He did then he began to tell her everything, he felt tears rolling down his face then someone hugged him.
"Everything will be alright, I promise," she whispered into his ear. He didn't understand why he trusted her he felt safe in her arms. He could have stayed in her arms forever, but all too soon she let him go, "feel better."
He nodded his head, "I am sure your friends you don't blame you. I think they were just worried about their father which is understandable. Time is making fools of us and I think we better go find your friends because the famous Harry Potter can only go missing for so long before people start to worry," she said smiling at him.
"If you knew who I was then why did you act as thou you didn't?" Harry asked.
"Just because I know your name doesn't mean I know who you are," Naruko said reaching her hand out to help him up. He took her hand as he looked into her bright blue eyes, despite her cheer personality he couldn't help but feeling that those eyes hide a dark past, they were full of pain and sorrow. But as she smiled at him he told himself he was imagining things.
When they found the others she turned to leave, "wait will we ever see you again?" Harry called after her.
"I am sure we will but until then, take care," she said as Moody and the others walked out of the room.
"Who was that?" Tonks asked.
"Sakura," Harry said watching her until she was gone from sight.
"I don't trust her," Ginny said.
"Why you don't know her," Harry said.
"Neither do you and what would Cho say if she knew you got lost with her," Ginny said grinning at Harry.
"We just talked," Harry answered avoiding the question.
"Well you seem much happier since the talk mate," Ron said nudging him in his side. They all went back to number 12 Grimmauld place. Once again Harry's head full of thoughts but instead of a giant snake it was of a blue eyed beauty named Sakura.
