Azkaban's Youngest Prisoner

Ch. 29

Chapter 29:

"Tessa, I'm sorry I was so quick to accuse you. I shouldn't have said that stuff without giving you a chance to explain yourself," Ron said to me with his arm over my shoulder as we led him to the hospital wing. 

"Understandable Ron, no worries," I replied simply. I watched as Sirius put his hand on Harry's shoulder as they discussed. I smiled knowing that Harry finally knew the truth about him, he deserved him. The moment was perfect. Until the clouds shifted and the full moon was revealed.

"Pads," I said as soon as I saw the moon. "Padfoot!" Sirius whipped around and noticed the moon and headed over to Remus, grasping his shoulders firmly.

"Moony, mate have you taken your potion tonight?" Remus didn't have the chance to answer, he already started transforming. "Tessa, get them behind me!"

"Pettigrew, no!" Harry shouted, reaching for the man, but it was too late, the man had already transformed and scampered away. The trio watched in horror as they watched their professor transform from a man to a vicious werewolf. I quickly shoved them behind me, wanting to protect them. Sirius became a shaggy black dog quickly tackling the lycanthrope to the ground, wrestling him like he used to 14 years ago. Unfortunately, Sirius wasn't strong enough to handle him on his own, the werewolf easily flung him off to the side. We backed up as the werewolves eyes were set on me, baring his sharp teeth and letting out a deep growl. Suddenly, a howl is heard by the wolf, distracting him from advancing forward on us. He runs away to investigate the noise. My eyes glance to the side to see Sirius, in his human form, laying on the ground as dementors above begin to approach him.

"No!" I run over to Sirius' body, watching the dementors near us. What I didn't notice was the large rock to my right, I slipped on the pavement as my arm reached out to break my fall, but I still ended up hitting my head. My head was pounding now, but nonetheless I hurriedly pulled out my wand and tried to think of a happy memory. Harry notices immediately and does the same. But no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't. Next thing I know, a patronus of a stag comes running across the lake, driving the dementors away. This was the last thing I saw before the room went black.

I opened my eyes slowly, and realized where I was. Lying down in the hospital wing, I quickly sat up only to be pushed down gently by a pair of hands.

"Hey hey Tessa careful, you hit your head, you gotta rest," Harry said in a calm voice. I frantically looked around and saw Hermione sitting in the chair on the other side of me, and Ron sleeping in the bed across.

"Harry what about Sirius? What happened?" Harry shared a look with Hermione before he began explaining. Somehow, the Ministry found out about Sirius. No one knows how, but our suspicions got us thinking somehow Pettigrew spread the news discreetly. The Ministry ordered Sirius to be given the dementors' kiss. Luckily, Harry and Hermione had used a time turner to go back and save his life, along with Buckbeak's. What I was completely unaware of was that Draco had told our father about his encounter with Buckbeak and our father had gone to the Ministry to get him executed. I had learned that it was Harry who casted the patronus from across the lake and Hermione who howled to prevent the werewolf from attacking us. Thankfully, Harry and Hermione successfully helped Sirius escape on Buckbeak and were able to get back unnoticed. They had also mentioned that I can't tell anyone about what happened, not that I was going to anyway. The pair had been ushered out by Madam Pomfrey to go back to their dorms, but Harry lingered back while Hermione slowly made her way out.

"Thank you," he said simply.

"For what?"

"Everything."

a/n: wowie POA is almost done. I have figured out the plot and what's going to happen and I'm so excited for what's to come. Sorry it takes me so long to update this story, you see with my other story I have the script out and most of the dialogue and plot is written out for me so it's a lot easier to update that one. Unlike this one where I have my own original plot and oc so it takes a bit. Thank you for your patience. Don't forget to comment Q and A's to get answers from the characters, comment, vote, and check out my other story: Love, Lexi Jade.
