Harry didn't want to wake up. Not at all.
'Harry! Please... You've been crying yourself to sleep for more than a-week, you haven't been eating and you've been avoiding us!Please, just get up.' Hermione said. Harry rolled on the other side where he couldn't see them.
'Harry! If you don't get up... We're getting Sirius and Remus!-Please!Tell us what's wrong!' Ron pleaded. Grimmauld Place was no longer home to Harry... It was... A Nightmare territory, Harry was stubborn which made things difficult at this moment.
'That's it!-SIRIUS!REMUS! HARRY'S NOT WAKING UP!' The shouting set off Mrs Black's bloody annoying shrieks 'NEVER!IN MY HOUSE! I SWEAR I SHALL-'
Sirius closed the curtains.
Then ... Silence.
Footsteps neared the doorway... Sirius and Remus entered the bedroom 'where are his glasses?' Remus asked. 'We put them on Harry to see if that'd wake him up-No, didn't work.' Ron replied, Sirius sat on the bed. Harry twitched.
'Prongslet... Tell us what's up...' Sirius said, stroking Harry's arm. 'No-I-won't.Never.' Harry said stiffly. Harry didn't want to tell them... Especially Remus and Sirius. Tears leaked from his eyes.
Sirius said 'Listen, Harry, if your father was here I bet he'd cheer you up but, now...We're concerned for you. If you could just-'
'Shut up!' Harry groaned.
'Please don't say that to me... Please just tell us-'
'I said... SHUT!UP!LISTEN- I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU, EVER AGAIN!' Harry shouted. So much anger was built up inside him... He didn't even know he hurt Sirius' feelings. But after Sirius left the room with a SLAM, with Remus after him... Harry realised what he had done. More tears came from his eyes. Ron pulled Hermione out of the room, probably giving up hope to help him.

Harry was left in his room, for over an hour now... Just thinking, also crying. This was what he was afraid of: Hurting Sirius Remus or anyone else he loved.
He'd have nightmares. Bad ones. About hurting his family and friends. Or just his friends shouting at him saying it was "his fault" someone died...
This was why harry cried himself to sleep.
Harry rarely let Ron into the room, only to collect a possession or to cheer him up, but he has to do it quickly or Harry'll hex him.(This happened twice during the week, when Ron was rummaging through his trunk for Owl Snacks for Pigwidgeon... He took so long, Harry eventually got so mad: He put a leg-locking jinx on him. The second time was because Ron was trying to tickle Harry. Nope. Harry put a body-bind curse, on him.)
'HARRY! OPEN! UP!' Ron shouted, banging on the door rapidly. That just reminded Harry of his nightmares. Thanks a lot Ronald. But, Ron will eventually end up with Fred and George. He didn't want his "Best Mate" to come into the room and see Harry crying like a little wuss, over some stupid Nightmares. Harry avoided Sirius mainly because, the memory of him shouting at Sirius stuck to him like an impossible-to-heal wound. Avoiding him will be harder at night.
Remus and Sirius will go in Harry's room, and finding him either:
-Awake, looking outside the window.
-Moaning in his sleep.
-Sleep/Moaning/Crying.
-Crying.
-Crying in his sleep.
But Moaning was more common.
'Please... Don't... Don't leave me... It-it wasn't my fault he's dead. Please, spare me.'
Harry moaned.
'Mooney... Should we leave him?'
'Sirius... Let's go. Give up.'

After lunch everyone would usually come to check on Harry. He was lying on the bed. Staring at the ceiling. Thinking...
Sirius is ticked at me. I can't talk to him. Have to avoid him...
'Harry, dear, I can make you a meal later.' Mrs Weasley would say.
Ginny visited Harry often, she'd always cheer him up. He didn't know what he like so much about her.
'H-Harry?' Sirius asked he's probably ticked that I screamed at him. I feel so guilty...
'Talk to me mate. Please.'
'...No,'
Harry silently burst into tears. That was a sign to leave him alone. As they left and closed the door, almost all of them pressed their ears against the door. Fred and George had Extendable Ears. So Hermione Remus Ron and Sirius can hear.
Harry got out of bed. Harry kicked a chair frustration 'I'M-SUCH-AN-IDIOT!' He shouted to himself.
'Sirius probably thinks-I'm such a-' Sirius didn't want to hear any more... He hated seeing Harry like this. After a few hours... Harry's bedroom was trashed by anger.
Sirius wanted to go in... But what will he say?
Harry broke into loud sobs...
Sirius slightly opened the door...
'Padfoot! No!' Hermione cried. But, it was too late, Sirius stepped into Harry's room and shut the door behind him.
Harry stopped crying. He looked at his godfather in pain, 'S-Sirius... I'm so sorry... I was such an idiot, that I shouted at you!'
'Come here, cub.' Sirius hugged Harry tightly. Harry started crying, into Sirius' arms, 'I-I'm s-so s-sorry! I was so s-scared! I didn't know what-what to think... I was scared you'd get mad at me, I was such an idiot hiding away from you!' Harry sobbed. Sirius hugged tighter...
'You, are not a bad person... We've all got both light and dark inside of us.What matters is the part we choose to act on, that's who we really are.' Harry sniffed. Then smiled in what seemed like days. 'You said that before...'
'I know, but, isn't it a good quote?'
'You'll be with me-right?'
'Until the end.'
'Always?'
'Always, Harry.'
Harry didn't want Sirius to leave him. Not now. Not ever... Harry smiled widely. They walked out of the room, Harry felt like a ton of weight just lifted from his shoulders. He was grateful to be himself again, but will never forget what happened.
