The stars (Harry Potter fanfiction)

Chapter Fourteen

I wake up and I'm in the Hospital Wing. How did I get here what happened, I turn to my right and see mum passed out on a bed. Her hand is super bloody you can see it from the bandages.

She has dried up tears on her face, and her hair is the biggest mess I've ever seen.

I look across from me and there is Ron, I wave to him and he waves back. I look to the left of me and see Harry. Hermione is sitting on his bed twiddling her thumbs waiting for him to wake up I guess.

I get up and walk towards Hermione. I touch Hermione's shoulder, she jumps and turns around quickly. Her scared face now turning into a happy face, she runs up to me and picks me up in the biggest bear hug.

"Oh good. You're awake, I was worried for you." She tells me, I smile back at her and let go of the hug. I sit next to Harry on the bed and run my hands through his hair.

"Worried for your boyfriend. I see." Hermione teases me, I nod and cuddle next to him.

"Yes, I am worried for him. And I wish he was my boyfriend."

"I wish Ron was mine," Hermione whispers to me not trying to let Ron hear, I laugh and make a kissy face to her and then point to Ron and do the face again.

"Hey, Ron! Guess what Hermione said. She sai-." I was cut off by Hermione's hand, she was blushing super hard. Probably embarrassed she looks at me and says.

"Be quiet. Or I will tell Harry all about your dream. The one with him and you, and the thing your mouth does to him."

Curse me for telling Hermione about this dream. She removes her hand from my mouth, and we just stare at each other. We hear groaning from behind us. It's Harry he is waking up.

"Harry?" Hermione asks, he is now fully up and smiling. Weird for someone who just woke up in the Hospital Wing. Before anyone can talk Harry says something.

"I saw my dad."

Me and Hermione look at him like he's crazy.

"And it was someone else. A girl too."

"Harry, sweetie. Baby. Maybe something hit your head because you know your dad isn't exactly here." I say to Harry running my fingers through his hair.

"No. I know what I saw! He sent the dementors away."

I and Hermione just stare at him, Hermione shakes her head before explaining what happened.

"Listen Harry, Athena. They've captured Sirius. Any minute the dementors are going to perform the Kiss."

"Wait no. They're going to kill him?" I ask

"No. It's worse. Much worse. They're going to suck out his soul." Hermione tells us, and with that Dumbledore comes in slamming the doors open. I get up and yell out.

"Headmaster, you've got to stop them! They've got the wrong man!"

"It's true. Sirius is innocent." Harry chimes in. Soon a new voice joins the conversation, It's Ron and he's saying

"It's Scabbers who did it." Honestly, I forgot Ron was here. Dumbledore looks confused and asks.

"Scabbers?"

"He's my rat, sir. He's not a rat. He was a rat. He was my brother Percy's rat. But then they gave him an owl..." Ron goes on about this rat. I roll my eyes and cut him off saying

"The point is, we know the truth. Please believe us."

"I do, Miss Black. But the word of four 13-year-old wizards will convince few others. A child's voice, however honest and true... is meaningless to those who have forgotten how to listen. Mysterious thing, time. Powerful... and when meddled with, dangerous."

Dumbledore goes on about time and stuff I block him out. But then I hear my dad's name and I start listening again.

"Sirius Black is in the topmost cell of the Dark Tower. You know the laws, Miss Granger. You must not be seen. And you would do well, I feel, to return before this last chime. If not, the consequences are too ghastly to discuss. If you succeed tonight... More than one innocent life may be spared. Three turns should do it, I think."

Dumbledore tells Hermione. Walking to the door, he is about to leave, before he does he opens the door again. Telling us some, more information.

"Oh, and by the way. When in doubt, I find retracing my steps to be a wise place to begin. Good luck."

I realize what Dumbledore is talking about. Hermione's time turner! Oh my Merlin this is amazing.

"Here take it. I'm going to stay with Ron. Be careful. Athena, I'm putting all my trust in you." Hermione tells me handing me her time turner. I nod and grab it and grab Harry.

"What are you doing?"

"Just shush."

I wrap the time turner around both of us. And spin it three times. Watching as it spins. It finally spins enough for my liking and I stop it. Pulling it off of Harry and me.

"What just happened? Where's Ron and Hermione?" Harry asks me. I grab his hand pulling him out of the Hospital Wing with me.

"7:30. Where were we at 7:30?"

"I don't know. Going to Hagrid's?" I nod my head trying to remember, I turn to Harry and tell him

"We can't be seen."

He nods. We walk in the hall hand in hand, not trying to be suspicious. Hagrid's here we come.
