A Family Once More

TWENTY THREE ~ Concious

"Wh-who are you?" Harry asked confused, seeing as Lily and the others were wearing disguises, so even Sirius and Remus were unrecognisable to Harry's eyes. 

Harry looked so small and fragile that Lily almost winced when she heard Harry's voice for the first time. It was so dry and cracked from the lack use over the span of three months. 

Sirius hurried away to Poppy's office to call her so that she could give a check up on Harry to see how he is doing since he is now awake. He had wanted to call out for her at first, but then realised that it would scare the living day lights out of Harry. 

_Harry POV_ 

I woke up to a blinding white light, not knowing where I was. The first thing I could make out of the light were bright worried looking emerald green eyes staring straight into mine. 

The next thing I heard was "Harry?!" in a shocked whisper. 

Another figure came up to me and gently pushed my glasses over my nose, allowing me to finally be able to see the people that were around me. 

I was so confused. I didn't remember what was the last thing that happened to me. Though I realised that I was back in the Hospital Wing, seeing as I have been hear countless times due to Quidditch and Voldemort. 

I noticed that there were four figures standing around my bed, none of them which I knew. I tried sitting up a but more so that I could see their faces more clearly, thinking that that would help me recognise them. 

However, as soon as I tried propping the weight of my torso onto my elbows to push me up slightly, my elbows immediately gave way, causing my body to sink back into the soft mattress. 

The figure that had slipped on my glasses then cam forward again, I think he was trying to assist me in propping myself up. But I freaked out and said "Wh-Who are you?", trying but failing to move further away from the four figures surrounding my bed. 

The female looked like she was in pain or something, maybe she was about to wince? 

Then, one of the other male figures that were next to me left the bed suddenly without saying anything. 

I was really confused at this point. I strained through my memory, trying to recall what had caused me to be confined to this bed again. I have literally been to the Hospital Wing so many times that Madam Pomfrey has assigned a bed just for me. 

However, I nothing seemed to be surfacing. 

Soon after, the man that walked away came back with a familiar looking witch. 

Ahh, Madam Pomfrey. 

"Why didn't I recognise her right away?" 

"Ahh, Mister Potter. Finally awake I see, You gave us all quite a scare." She said before she started  running some tests on me. 

"Mister Lupin, do you mind fetching Dumbledore please. And the rest of you, please leave this ward while I tend to Mister Potter over here." 

Wait. Lupin? As in Remus? I didn't even see him at all. I was beyond confused at this point. 

"Remus?" I whispered, seeing as my throat was still very dry.

One of the male figures turned around upon hearing my voice and said with a smile. "Good to have you back Harry. You gave us all quite a scare. Just to let you know, I'm just in a safety disguise right now." 

He kept his gaze on me for another second before leaving the room with the other three. Though one of them gave me an oddly familiar sad look, as if begging me for something. 

Safety disguise? 

However, before I could let my thoughts wander even further, Madam Pomfrey placed a cup of water in front of me, telling me to drink it. 

Of course, I did as told. 

I gratefully gulped down the water, letting it run through my dry throat. However, I was really weak so Madam Pomfrey had to assist me, holding the cup while I drank. 

I said my thanks and she gave me a small smile before continuing her tests.
