"Come on, Harry, you have to eat something!"
Harry shook his head no.
Sirius sighed. Harry had to be the most stubborn boy in the entire universe. It
had been a week since he had woken up, and the only person he had come close to
listening to was Sirius, even then, he hadn't really.
"Harry, please?" Sirius tried again. "They're going to have to feed you through
needles soon if you won't eat."
Harry shook his head again and tried to bury himself deeper into Sirius' chest.
Sirius had finally had enough. "Harry!" he said. "You ARE going to eat this soup
right now or I'll leave!"
Harry immediately jerked back and started to shake. "No," he whimpered. Sirius
knew he had gone too far then.
"I'm sorry, Harry." He whispered, immediately pulling him back into a tight
embrace. "I won't leave, you know I won't. You have to eat though."
"No."
Sirius sighed. "Fine," he murmured, burying his face in Harry's hair. "You can
starve."
Harry just curled up closer to Sirius.
They lay there for a while, enjoying each others company for the first time in
months.

When Harry woke up the next morning, the first thing he heard other than the
many many machines helping him breathe, were voices.
"We'll do it first thing tomorrow morning then," Dr. McDaniel said.
Sirius just nodded. He was really starting to hate this guy…
"How long will it take?" Remus asked. The full moon was that night and he was
hoping to be back before Harry was done.
"The operation should take a few hours." Dr. McDaniel said.
Operation? What was going on?
"Siri…" he whispered. Sirius was immediately by his side.
"Hey Bud," he whispered. "How you feeling?"
"Horrible."
"Yah, don't worry. You'll feel better soon."
Harry gave him a questioning look and Sirius sighed.
"I know you over heard us talking Harry…"
"Sorry." Harry mumbled, immediately shrinking back into a ball.
"Hey," Sirius whispered, gently cupping Harry's face in his hand and making him
look at him. "It's perfectly alright that you over heard us, ok? You don't have
to be sorry, it's fine."
"But…" Harry froze. He couldn't tell Siri what his uncle had said…
"But what?" Sirius waited for a response, but he didn't get one.
"Harry?"
Still no answer.
Sirius sighed and once again made Harry look at him. "But what?" he asked once
more.
Harry looked down. "one time my uncle caught me eavesdropping and he said that I
was a horrible little freak for eavesdropping…"
"Don't you believe a word he says!" Sirius held Harry tighter. "Harry, listen to
me. All your uncle has ever told you are lies. You're not a freak, Harry. You
never have been, and you never will be. Just forget everything he has ever told
you, alright?"
Harry didn't know what to think. Could Sirius be telling the truth? No, he
couldn't. His uncle was right, he was a freak. He had killed Cedric after all…"
"Harry?" Harry looked up and Sirius immediately caught his eye. He let Harry see
everything he was feeling.
Harry looked away. "But he's right." He whispered.
"What do you mean, Bud?"
"I AM a freak. I killed him, Siri. I killed Cedric…"
"Oh, god, Harry no.!" Sirius held him tight. Harry sighed, this was the one
place he ever felt safe anymore, in Sirius's arms.
"Harry, it wasn't you're fault. You didn't know. There was no way you could have
known! Don't blame yourself."
"But I told him to take the cup with me."
Suddenly Sirius understood exactly where this was coming from. "Harry, you were
just being yourself! Your father would have done the same thing, so would your
mother have… SO would I."
Sirius felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to come face to face with
Remus. "I have to go, Sir. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Ok, be careful, Moony."
Remus smiled. He knew Sirius wanted to be there with him during the full moon,
but Harry needed him more. They had talked about that before.
"Bye Harry." He whispered, bending down next to the small boy and smiled. Harry
still wouldn't let him touch him, only Sirius had been able to get close without
causing Harry to panic. "I'll be back tomorrow, ok?"
Harry gave him a slight nod before burying his face back into Sirius's chest,
but Remus was positive he had seen something in Harry's eyes, possibly
disappointment?
"Nah," Remus told himself. "He doesn't want me here, he just wants Sirius."
He turned and looked back at the two and smiled. They looked so peaceful
together and, if everything went right tomorrow, Harry would be able to go home
in a few weeks.
