Barty rushed into St Mungo’s not caring that he didn’t have a good (or any) explanation for how he knew Azkaban escapee Sirius Black even if the DMLE had all but declared him innocent after the attack at the Three Chasers. But after the Dark Lord had summoned him and told him what had happened, he needed to see him, needed to make sure he was alright.
Narcissa Black was seated at his side and speaking to them about things they had got up to as children. She looked up at him in surprise confused as to why he would be. She had been out of the country for awhile so had not been there when they had decided to start seeing one another.
‘Ms Black, how is he?’ asked Barty taking the other seat.
Black frowned but apparently saw something in his eyes, ‘he was almost drowned by some Order members. He was deprived oxygen for some time and is now in a coma. We won’t know how bad it is until he wakes up. You care for him, don’t you?’
‘We began dating a couple of weeks ago,’ admitted Barty softly.
‘Yes, I can see that working,’ murmured Black smiling. ‘Look after him, won’t you, Lucius wanted me to check on the – Heir Slytherin.’
‘He was asleep when the Da-Lord Slytherin informed me about Sirius,’ Barty said. ‘It didn’t look like he was planning on leaving his side anytime soon.’
Black smiled, ‘of course not – I wouldn’t if it was Draco.’
Black left allowing Barty to take Sirius’ other hand which he clutched tightly to. Barty didn’t know where this was going, it was all so new, but he knew he liked the man and enjoyed spending time with him. Barty didn’t want to lose this so soon after finding it.
‘Come on, Sirius, you stubborn bloody fool,’ Barty said. ‘You broke out of Azkaban, you can survive this, please, please, oh Merlin, wake up. You were going to take me to see a film at a cinnamon – whatever that is – when the Ministry officially clears you. Please, wake up. Please. I can’t lose you before I really know you. It’s not fair!’

Harry groaned as he came to, his head hurt and despite just waking up he still felt exhausted. The curtains were shut but there was bright sunlight peeking through the edges. He was in his bed, alone which was unusual for him with that thought came the utter heartbreak.
