He looked around realising that he was in the hospital wing and that it was very early. He remembered vaguely the events that led him here, the killing curse disappearing suddenly, him running to cedrics body as he summond the triwizard cup to him, arriving at school and saying " he's back" before fainting.
He didn't know how much time had passed since then. Hearing a noise, he looked up to see Madame Pomfrey bustling towards him.
" I see you are up Mr. Potter, how do you feel?" She asked
" I feel fine, what happened to Cedric? What about the tournament? Do they know about Voldemort?! I have to tell them!"
"Calm down, calm down Mr. Potter! The headmaster will be here soon to answer all your questions."
"Can you atleast tell me how long have I been unconscious?”
” It has been 2 days since the end of the tournament, now you have to eat and rest, the food will be delivered shortly with the potions you have to take."
She left and a few minutes later a tray apeared infront of him filled with food and a few different colored potions beside them. As he ate he looked back to the screens and realized that Madame Pomfrey didn't comment on them, she likely didn't see them.
"How do I open the messeges", he wondered aloud, as if hearing him a new screen popped up infront of him.

Harry looked in amazment at the rewards he got, they would be very useful. He was begining to like this game. The timer on the daily quest ticked but he gave it no mind, reasoning that he couldn't do the requested things of him in the hospital wing.
The door opened and in came the headmaster, following him were Snape, Remus Lupin and a Grimm. They closed the partitions for privacy and immediately Sirius transformed and hugged Harry.
" Thank merlin you're okay!" He said voice thick with emotion, he was shaking slightly which was shocking, no one had ever cared if he lived that much before.
"Hello Harry, I'm glad your okay" said Remus.
"Now, my boy, why don't you tell us everything" Dumbledore said.
" The cup was a portkey, as soon as we took it we were sent to a graveyard, Wormtail killed Cedric and stunned me. I woke up later tied to a tomestone, he had taken my blood and put it into the cauldron, seconds later Voldemort came out." Harry took a deep breath, he wasn't sure what to tell them about the game and how he escaped. The system sent him a messege then floating in front of him, it said:
Player cannot tell others about the game or the system.
Harry read it and continued as not to act suspicious, " He called his followers and gave me my wand back, said he wanted to defeat me fairly, to prove that my survival was a fluke before. I was finally untied and I took my chance, I ran towards Cedric and summoned the triwizard cup. That is all I remember."
"Well, when you arrived, you said "he's back" I had assumed you were talking about Voldemort. You fainted right away and we brought you here." The headmaster told him.
"Severus, you know what to do." He told Snape.
"Remus I would like to speak to you in my office, come. Harry, you rest and recover, your friends have been asking to see you."
"I'm not going anywhere, I will stay here in my animagus form." Sirius told Dumbledore.
"I will allow it, though only for a few hours and then you must go. The Aurors are going to want to speak to Mr. Potter when they find out that he's awake."
They turned and left, Harry turned to Sirius and hugged him. " I missed you, whats going on? Where are you staying? I thought you were out lf the country."
"Yes, I was. Came back as soon as I could when I heard what happened. I'm staying at my childhood home at the moment, hoping to clean it up and redecorate it."
"That's great, hopefully we can get you cleared soon enough." Harry said.
The door of the infirmary burst open and in came his friend running. Sirius had just enough time to transform before they burst though the partition.
He soon had a mouthfull of curly brown hair and a lapfull of a sobbing girl.
"Oh Harry, I'm so glad your okay! I can't believe what happened, we were so worried about you!" Hermione said through her tears.
"Welcome back mate!" Said Ron cheerfully, although his voice was thick with emotion.
"Tell us everything." Hermione demanded right away.
As he retold what had happend, he saw his friends pale when they knew that Voldemort was back. They talked a bit more then left him to his rest, they would meet the next day at the leaving feast, hopefully Harry would be discharged by then.
Sirius changed back soon after and said goodbye, although he promised to keep on touch.
After having lunch with a couple of potions again, Madame Pomfrey came to give him a checkup.
"Well, your looking better, I will keep you the night here but you can leave in the morning." She told him. Just then the doors opened again and two people walked in. One was a woman with dark hair pulled in a bun and a monocle on her eye, beside her was a tall bald man.
"Hello Harry, my name is Amelia Bones, I am the Director of the DMLE, and this is Kingsley Shaklebolt, one of my Aurors. We are here to speak to you about the third task."
Harry was already tired of repeating the story but he did it anyways, he hoped that the info would help in clearing Sirius.
"You mean to tell me that Peter Petigrew is alive?! And Voldemort is back! This is grave news, we must prepare immediately! I knew I had to speak to you no matter what the minister said. I will look into the matter of Sirius Black personally. If what you are saying is true its going to turn the whole world upside down."
"I'm sure you will find that everything I said is true, if there is anything you need my help with don't hesitate to contact me again." Harry told her.
They left soon after, promising to update him about Sirius. Harry was tired already, so he laid down and fell asleep, not realising that the daily quest timer was running out.
He was jolted out of his sleep a few hours later, the screen infront of him blinking red.
Daily quest failed.
You will now be transported to the penalty zone.
Harry felt the room begin to shake, scared of what was happening he tried getting up but only succeeded at falling to the ground.
Opening his eyes he realized that he wasn't in the infirmary anymore but the forbidden forest, in the middle of Aragogs nest. The whole place around him teaming with spiders of all sizes, their eyes swiveling and focusing on him as soon as they caught his scent. A screen popped up in front of him, it said:
Survive
0/ 3:00
Harry had a second to realise that he was screwed, he didn't have his wand, he took of running. Scared out of his mind, sure he was going to be eaten, he regretted no taking the penalty seriously.Trudging through the forest in pjs and slipping he ran as fast as he could. All he could do was run.
