" A week?" I ask, disbelievingly.
" Yeah, they told me you were very sick. Something about not eating or sleeping enough. " He said, worry written all over his face.
" Hadrian! Thank Merlin you are awake! I was starting to think you were dead! How do you feel?" Sirius rushes towards us with Tom by his side.
" I am okay. what happened?" I ask Sirius.
" Well, you just blacked out on me and Thomas and I got you here. You have been sleeping for a week now. Merlin and Morgana help me I was so worried! How hard is it for you to take care of yourself?!-- " Sirius scolded.
" Siri, could you get a healer?" Harry comes to my rescue, cutting Sirius off in between his rant.
" Oh yes, let me go and get a healer. " He rushes outside.
" I am so glad you are okay Dri, I was so worried. " Harry says resting his head on my stomach from from where he was sitting beside the bed. I brush my fingers though his hair.
" I am sorry Harry, You must have been so scared." I apologize.
" No don't apologize, just make sure you at least take care of yourself, is that too much to ask? " he says.
" Oh, No, not at all, I am so sorry Harry. I promise I will take better care of myself. " I say.
" You better, or I will hex you. " He says playfully and I chuckle.
" What's taking Siri so long, Let me go check on him " Harry says and walks out the door.
" Are you feeling okay?" Tom says for the first time since being here. I startle almost forgetting he was here.
" Merlin, Don't scare me like that. " I say, holding a hand to my pounding chest.
" I apologize, you know for, everything." He says after a while.
" No You don't have to, I, uh, I over reacted. I shouldn't have done that. I am sorry." I say. Just then Harry and Sirius are back with the healer.
" Mr. Peverell. I am healer Jane Marrows, How are you feeling? " The healer asked.
" A little sore, but good nonetheless. " I reply.
" I see, its to be expected, you had been sleeping for a week. " She says
" I found out. Yeah." I say, feeling a little guilty.
" So, Let me tell you, Mr. Peverell, you had been severely under eating. And not getting enough rest, so your body decided to shut off. It seems to me as you have been quite stressed. Why hadn't you been eating Mr. Peverell?" She asks.
" I..don't know..? I just didn't feel hungry. " I say unsurely.
" Thats concerning, I will prescribe you a few potions that will help you get back your appetite and some sleep potions to help you rest. I will run some tests on you now" She says, before asking everyone to leave and performing a detection spell on me.
" Every thing seems alright but You might have to stay the night for observation. You will be free to go tomorrow. " she says before handing me a couple potions to drink which tasted disgusting might I add.
" Rest up Mr Peverell, I will ask your relatives to leave you alone for the night, you need as much rest as possible. " She says while closing the door behind her.

" That's enough Melony, I cant eat anymore! " I whine. It had been a few days since I was back at the Manor and everyone had started being extra careful towards me. Melony, for one, had taken upon herself to feed me till I was on the verge of puking.
" Master will eats. Melony wants to hears no more of thats " She says and I groan.
Harry has gone back to Hogwarts, I didn't even get to talk to him properly, Sirius was living in the Peverell Manor now, and Tom, Well, he has been avoiding me like I am plague. Which annoys me for some reason, it shouldn't, because I brought this on myself. Melony comes in again with what I assume is a potion. She has been giving me this weird, absolutely disgusting, potion to help with my appetite.
" Melony please " I whine again.
" Master wills have its." She demands
" But-" I start
" No Buts!" Siri cuts in. " Do you have any idea how scared I was when you passed out on me?! It was absolutely terrifying experience which I prefer NOT to experience again. So you better drink it on your own or I will force it down your throat!" He threatens.
There is nothing remotely threatening about Sirius, but I dont tell him that, and simply sigh before gulping that disgusting liquid down. Melony had a glass of water ready at hand which I used to wash down the disgusting taste of that potion.
" Happy?" I ask, with a scowl.
" Very" He replies, very satisfied with himself. I stand up to leave the dreaded dining area which has been source of a new torture chamber, where they torture me with food.
" Now, Now, where are you going to?" Siri asks.
" Um My study?" I reply, I still have so many books I want to read and my list is only getting bigger and I needed to do a little research before I enter the political world.
" What are you gonna do there?"
" Read?"
" What?! How Boring! How can you hole up in this place and be sane? No wonder you got sick. You are coming with me! Tom! Get over here!" Sirius pulls me along with him despite my whining.
" Yeah What happened? Is everything okay?" Tom rushes up to us and his eyes roamed my form worriedly.
" What-What happened?" He asks again.
" Nothing we are going out you want to come along?" Siri asks, Tom does something alike a sigh of relief.
" Okay. Where are we going?" He asks.
" I know just the place. " Siri smirks.
