Born From Madness (Harry Potter Fanfic)

133

After Dumbledore had given the orders to Snape and McGonagall of what he wanted them to do, he took Hermione and Harry up towards his office where he claimed Sirius was waiting for them. Upon entering, Sirius came running up towards them as he hug tightly to Harry. 

"Harry, are you all right? I knew it-- I knew something like this-- what happened?" he asked as he gently cupped his face before leading him towards the chair. As Hermione was about to take her seat, she saw her Grandma walking around the corner. 

"Oh Hermione!" she cried out as she wrapped her arms around Hermione's shoulder. Hermione hugged back, tears streaming down her face. As their hug broke, Dumbledore came walking by cause Grandma Elka to shift her demeanor. 

"I told you, Dumbledore, allowing them to enter into the tournament was a bad idea! You should have listened to me! And McGonagall! She needs a raise! A big one dealing with you!" Grandma Elka shouted at him, waving her hand at him. Dumbledore gently grabbed hold of it before lightly patting his hand on top of hers. 

"Elka, I must insist that you calm down. There are more important things to deal at this moment," he told Grandma Elka, "I need to know what happened after Hermione and Harry touched the Portkey in the maze." 

"We can leave that till morning, can't we, Dumbledore? Let them sleep. Let them rest, please." Sirius asked harshly. 

"If I thought it could help, I would. But numbing the pain will only make it worse when you finally feel it," Dumbledore said as he requested them to tell him everything. So they did. From entering the graveyard to the potion to the Death Eaters apparating there and the duel. When they mentioned about Wormtail cutting Hermione's hair and Harry's arm, Sirius and Elka flipped out entirely till Dumbledore reached out to calm them down. Then they mentioned the duel where Dumbledore didn't seem surprise to hear when the wands didn't hurt each other. 

"Priori Incantatem." He mumbled, "The Reverse Spell effect. You see, Harry, your wnad and Voldemort's wand share cores. Each of them contains a feather from the tail of the same phoenix. This phoenix in fat," Dumbledore claimed as he pointed to Fawkes, "Because of that, they won't be able to kill each other." 

When they finished telling the story, Dumbledore stood up as he told them he didn't want them to return to the dormitory tonight and to have a sleeping potion and some peace. He asked if Elka and Sirius would want to go with them. After Sirius turned into a dog again, they proceeded to make their way down to the hospital wing. Upon entering, they found Mrs. Weasley, Bill, Ron and Hermione's parents encircling Madam Pomfrey and were demanding answers. Soon they finally turned around to see them, Mrs. Weasley let out a kind of muffled scream. 

"Harry! Hermione! Oh Harry and Hermione!" 

They began rushing over when Dumbledore stepped in between them. 

"Please listen to me for a moment, all of you. Hermione and Harry have been through a terrible ordeal tonight and had to relive it for me. They need their sleep and peace and some quiet. If they would like you all to stay with them, you may do so. But I must ask you not to question them until they are ready to answer." Dumbledore asked them. They all nodded their heads in agreement. 

"Headmaster, May I ask what--" Madam Pomfrey started as she pointed towards Sirius when Dumbledore spot up.

"This dog will be remaining with Harry for a while. I assure you, he is extremely well trained." Dumbledore assure as Hermione and Harry were led to their beds, "Hermione, Harry, I will be back to see you as soon as I have met with Fudge. I will like you two to remain here tomorrow until I have spoken to the school." 

Soon he turned to leave just as Madam Pomfrey gave them a potion to allow them to sleep without dreaming.
