Snogging Pox

Spooks Spooked

Last Time:

In his weakened state he dropped the stone, which hit the floor and rolled a little. Harry winced as he leaned over to pick it up, but once he looked up he was stunned ro see three semi solid ghosts standing near him ... his mother, his father and Sirius!

XXXXXXXXXX

"Harry!" The three ghosts exclaimed as they smiled at him.

"I ... ooooh! I must have a concussion or a reaction to a healing potion." Harry concluded knowing he was badly hurt not long ago and that, though ghosts are real, they don't appear out of nowhere after such a long time.

The ghosts chuckled, "No, honey, we're here ... we never truly left your side." Lily said as she came closer to touch Harry to prove that she was there.

Once it sank in, Harry winced as he thought about what the ghosts might've seen, "and you're alright with it? With the people I'm dating-married to, I mean." Harry quickly corrected, remembering what happened in Gringotts not long ago. Without thinking much of it he spotted Ginny's bra and called Dobby, "I'm alright, Dobby. Could you get that back to Ginny?" He asked not realizing the three ghosts were paying a little too much attention.

"Dobby will do that right away, Master Harry!" Dobby exclaimed happily and popped out with the garment.

Sirius smirked teasingly, "You're like me! A real ladies-"

"Dear Merlin!" Harry was torn between looking at the shocked Weasleys, Neville and Slytherins who were all trying to get in the room until they spotted the specters and staring at the ghosts. (Was Sirius actually going to say 'ladies man'?) He wondered if they had the wrong idea, but did that mean they weren't watching? Sure, that was a relief. After all, there were a lot of intimate moments he preferred going unseen by ghostly parental eyes, but why lie?

James looked straight at Severus and glared at him, "What do you want, Snivellus?"

"Yeah! Doesn't matter what you did to make yourself look young, you're still a snake! Get lost!" Sirius snapped, making many of the other people bristle in anger including Lily, but beyond the growing irritation Harry realized that these ghosts were not as in the loop as they wanted him to think.

"Would you both let this grudge die already?! We're dead so what's the point in continuing it? Bedsides, I'd rather not fight in front of Harry- ... Remus?! Is that you?" Lily blinked ...

XXXXXXXXXX

Remus groaned as he heard frantic talking and scrambling coming from the hallway outside his room or maybe just down the stairs. The voices were all talking at once so he couldn't make out very much. Curiosity made him push his sore body out of bed to see what was going on, but to his surprise he couldn't go very far. In fact, he collapsed to the floor with only one step, but when he heard Harry mentioned he clawed his way across the floor to the door to listen ...

"Stop! Everyone calm down! Ginny, Ron, Severus come with me and we'll heal Harry. Everyone stay here! I mean it!" A tough woman ordered.

"The potion lab is this way. Let's take him there ... it's close and it'll be easier to have any ingredients and potions close by." Severus said, sounding a little less calmer than he usually was. After that the bulk of the talking turned into fast steps and was followed by silence for a few moments, but it didn't last too long ...

"Draco, get back here!" Someone yelled. Remus knew he heard the voice before, but couldn't place it. It kind of sounded like Gregory Goyle...

"After what that bastard did, he deserves to be killed! What will he do next? Harry has broken away, sure, but that won't stop him for long! Someone needs to stop him!" Draco could be heard yelling.
