Back from the veil

Chapter 21 : St Mungo

The next morning Harry woke up from a night of nightmares with a strange feeling that something was off. He tried to contact Sirius again with the mirror but still nothing. He decided to keep it with him in case he tried to contact him and thought he would try again later. Something was off it was clear. Ignoring him like that wasn't like Sirius at least not anymore and last time Harry did not responded multiple times he was worried, so it was quite normal that the opposite was true two wasn't it? Still maybe it was nothing, maybe he just wasn't carrying the mirror yesterday and that he was still asleep now.

He finally decided that he will write him a letter during breakfast just to be sure everything was alright and that he was just being paranoid. Ron and Hermione noticed right away that something was off with Harry this morning.

Harry what is it? You are barely eating again and you spend all breakfast scribbling and throwing parchements away" asked Hermione

"Oh hum? Yeah well bad dream again" responded Harry who indeed was scribbling on another piece of parchment before throwing it away.

"Don't lie to us mate we know something is off. Don't tell me it's about Draco again and what happened to Katie" Asked Ron.

"Draco? No, well yes but"

"Come on Harry, even Mc Gonagall seems to think there is no way he did it" said Hermione

Neville came by them running really fast "Harry ! Harry ! Mc Gonagall is looking for you, she says you have to go to her office now and that it's urgent"

"Only me? Why? What did I do again?" Asked Harry clueless

"Yes only you but I don't know anything else, come on she is waiting for you. She seemed very serious" replied Neville

"Okay, we'll see you later guys !" Said Harry while going straight to professor Mc Gonagall's office. He knocked two times and went in when her voice told him to.

"Goodmorning Potter, please have a sit" greeted MC Gonagall looking serious and somehow sad?

"Goodmorning Professor. If it's about my assumptions about Malfoy yesterday. I just had to tell someone I.."

"No Potter, this is not about Mister Malfoy. I have some more urgent and serious matters to discuss with you. Yesterday some members of the order including your godfather went on a mission in which werewolves were involved and..."

"No, no ! what happened professor, please tell me eveything?" Harry cutted. His stomach felt like he just ate a bag full of stones. He knew from the beginning something was off. Sirius couldn't be? No it wasn't possible. Surely there was a less awful explanation.

" He was severely injured. I can't tell you any details as I don't know them myself but he has been transferred in St Mungo yesterday. Healers are quite positive about his quick recovery but he has to stay there for some days for safety measures" explained Mc Gonagall.

Harry let out a deep sight of relief. It was bad but not as bad as his brain went. "Professor, can I go there and see him please?"

"I thought you would ask that Potter. It is normally professor's Dumbledore décision but as he is away I am able to give you that permission myself. You can use the floo network here in my office".

"Thanks Professor" said Harry while walking to the chimney

"Wait Potter I need to change your appearance first for safety matters" said Mc Gonagall and performed a spell

"And Potter? Please tell Sirius that I wish him a quick recovery" added Mc Gonagall before Harry disappeared in the flames.

He arrived in St Mungo and went straight up to the reception.
