Will I Lose You Too

Congrats

Harry was getting jittery the day before his trial and his nerves were getting the best of him,he would try to calm down but nothing seemed to work. Sleeping didn't help at all because no matter what time of day or night he would have nightmares or abruptly wake up with his scar hurting. Even when he wasn't sleeping his scar seared and he would have splitting headaches almost every day.

The jitteriness didn't go completely unnoticed by Sirius,he would see Harry bouncing his knee or staring off into space and not paying attention. He would catch him in deep thought sometimes and try to talk to him but Harry wouldn't really give Sirius a straight answer. This was one of those times that he really didn't know what to do. At times like these he would ask Remus for advice but it was a full moon that night so he would try his best on his own.

Harry was sitting on the top of the stairs,he would go for a walk but Lupin wasn't there and he didn't want to risk it with Sirius even if he was in animagus form. But how could anyone be fine at a time like this he felt like punching a wall but he also felt sick to his stomach. He put his head in his hands and rubbed his burning scar with his eyes closed in pain.

He got up and went to his room,he didn't bother turning on the lights,he sat on his bed with his back resting against the backboard. Harry took off his glasses and let out a deep breath,he pushed his head back and looked up at the ceiling in the darkness. The only light coming from the platform outside his room.

Sirius didn't know if his plan was going to work or not but he was willing to try all he knew was he had to calm Harry down a little.

Harry heard Sirius walking upstairs. He didn't want to talk so when he heard him stop at the door Harry said  "Sirius I really don't feel like talking right now" in the most polite voice he could muster.

But Sirius didn't respond,Harry just assumed that he had just left then he felt something jump next to him on his bed. And he felt the cold ,wet tip of a dog's nose pushing on his fingertips,he looked down to see that it was Padfoot.

He lifted his hand and Padfoot turned in a circle to find a comfortable spot next to Harry and rested his head on Harry's leg. He looked up at Harry and with a weak smile,Sirius nudged his hand with his nose so that he could signal that it was ok for Harry to pet him.

Harry ran his Hand along the fur of Padfoot, this made Harry calm down a little,he didn't feel as stressed.

Harry must have fallen asleep because next thing he knew he woke up abruptly and sucked in a heap of air. He could still hear the ringing of the screams in his head from his nightmare and his scar started to burn. He quickly pulled his hand up to his head to rub his burning scar and the other hand traveled to the nightstand to get his glasses.

Harry put his glasses on and looked over at his watch. It was half past five he looked over to find that padfoot wasn't there but his clothes for the trail were lying on the foot of his bed. He headed down stairs to the kitchen,he walked in to find that everyone looked like they were waiting for him.

Harry got back from the trial and was very relieved that he got to go back to Hogwarts but he wasn't the only one. "I knew it!!" yelled Ron pumping his fist into the air "You always get off with stuff like that".

"Why don't you take a seat" said Mrs.Weasley "and i'll get you something to eat". He looked around to see that Fred,George and Ginny were all in a group doing some kind of war dance and chanting "He got off,he got off,he got off".

"Well they were bound to clear you" Hermionie said, still looking kind of anxious. She put a hand over her eyes "There was no case against you..."

"Everyone looks so relieved considering you all knew i would get off" Harry said smiling and walking over to the table and sitting down.

Fred,Goerge and Ginny were still chanting "That's enough,settle down" shouted Mr.Weasley though he too was smiling. "Listen, Sirius,Lucius Malfoy was at the Ministry-"
"What?" said Sirius sharply.
"He got off,He got off-"
"Be quiet you three!,yes we saw him talking to Fudge on level nine,then they went up to Fudges office. Dumbledore ought to know."
"Absolutely" said Sirius "Will tell him"

Mr.Weasley had to go and they all wished him farewell well, Harry couldn't help but smile. He was glad to have this weight lifted off of his chest and now he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Over the next few days Harry couldn't help but notice that one person in number twelve who did not seem as overjoyed that he would be returning to Hogwarts. He put up a great show of happiness at first at hearing the news by hugging Harry and giving him congratulations like the others. But as time grew on Sirius wasn't talking as much as he usually does and he started spending more time in his mother's room with Buckbeak. How could he blame him after spending all that time alone in azkaban wouldn't anyone be unhappy to be alone again.
 
But not everyone agreed with Harry and how he felt when they were cleaning one day Harry, Ron and Hermionie had got into an argument about how Sirius was acting. And Harry felt like Sirius' means were justified but Hermionie did not agree but before they could argue and further Mrs.Weasley had interrupted them.

Further into the week as the new school year was drawing closer they had got their lists for Hogwarts. Harry was excited to see his letter and happy to have the confirmation that he was going back to Hogwarts for real.

Then all of a sudden Hermionie came running in and saw the badge in Harry's hand "Did you get it" she said with excitement almost bouncing up and down.

Harry's smile had dropped from his face and all his excitement had drained from him and he gave a confused look,but Hermione didn't see that she was looking over his shoulder at Ron. Ron was just staring at his letter dumbfounded and he had something in his hand.

"Ron, are you ok" said Hermione with a little concern in her voice and walked across the room. Harry turned around to see what was going on with Ron.

"Yeah I'm fine" Ron said in a high pitched voice.

"What are you looking at then" Hermionie said, trying to see what was in his hand. When she saw what it was her eyes widened and her mouth dropped a little.

"Wow Ron i can't believe you got the other Prefect badge" Hermionie said in disbelief "No offense Ron,i just thought Harry would get it"

"None taken,I didn't think I would get it either" Ron said whipping it off not really caring.

Harry had been standing there the whole time just watching, he was happy of Ron but him getting the badge was very unexpected.

They packed their bags and Harry was bent over his bag listening to the people down stairs coming in. Tomorrow they would be off to Hogwarts Harry was ready to go back and get out of this dark and gloomy house. But he couldn't help but feel a little guilty and sad he would be leaving Sirius he knew he loved the company and this was one of the best summers he has had by far minus the cleaning and Mrs.Weasley.

After Ron had opened his new cleansweep they all went down stairs for dinner, as they walked in they saw a scarlet banner that said congratulations to Ron and Hermionie- new Prefects.

Hope y'all enjoyed just wanting to get past this part so I could set up the next chapter.
I didn't really want to write all the trail stuff because we already know what happens and I didn't want to bore y'all too much with that.
(Plus I got a little stumped)🤫
