Chapter Text

Harry felt a cold cloth being placed over his forehead, and someone draping a warm blanket over his chest. Then he heard a voice, a sweet melodious voice, from his long and almost forgotten past.

"Harry? Harry? It's time to wake up dear."

Harry's eyes fluttered open and he looked up. Above him, wearing the smile he always cherished.

It was

 Mrs. McFinn.

"M-Mrs.-Mrs. McFinn?" said Harry.

"Are you okay sweetheart?" said Mrs. McFinn her eyes brimming with tears.

"I'm fine now." said Harry, his voice choked. He sat up quickly and threw his arms around her neck.

"I still can't get over how big you are!" said Mrs. McFinn crying into Harry's messy white locks.

"I'm sorry I didn't come and visit you when you came back." said Harry, tears falling down his face.

"It's okay honey, I understand." she whispered to him.

"Oh hey! Dr. Clark is back look!'" said Harry pulling his head back and smiling at her.

"I know dear, I was briefed before I came here by a very nice man." said Mrs. McFinn.

"That would be the chief." said Nightstrike with a smirk.

"I think Harry's had a long day, we'd better let him get some sleep." said Madam Pomfrey. She wiped her eyes, she hated happy moments, they always made her cry.

"He hasn't eaten yet though, Poppy." said Professor McGonagall.

"I'll just give him a nutritional potion, and then a sleeping potion." said Madam Pomfrey taking out two phials.

"But, I want to..." said Harry.

"We can talk in the morning sweetheart." said Mrs. McFinn. Harry stood up, finding out that they had placed him back in the bowl. "I want to talk to Dr. Clark for a bit." said Mrs. McFinn. She kissed the top of his head. "You get some sleep dear."

"Okay," said Harry with a smile. He and Ginny left with Madame Pomfrey.

"Hey...Holly." said Dr. Clark with a smile.

"Sam." said Mrs. McFinn with a small smile, she gave him a hug. "Where were you?"

"I don't know, I really don't know." said Dr. Clark. "But, you, how have you been?"

"Holding up. Trying to deal with my mother, she's still trying to get me to remarry." said Holly with small laugh. "I tried to save your apartment, and your things, but..."

"It's okay, I don’t mind. I missed you, and Harry. Harry missed you something awful though." said Sam.

"I missed him too, you as well." said Holly. She looked around. "I still can't believe all this is real, and that Harry, 

my 

Harry..."

"I know, I have a hard time almost every other second, but I'm learning." said Dr. Clark.

Sirius cleared his throat loudly, Remus groaned and rolled his eyes.

"Oh, this is Sirius Black and..." said Sam.
