The stars (Harry Potter fanfiction)

Chapter Fifteen

We run hand in hand together. To where we previously were, three hours ago. We hide behind a wall watching our past selves.

"That's us. This is not normal." Harry speaks. I start to get annoyed because honestly can this boy ever shut up!

I push Harry up against the wall. And show him the time turner.

"This is a Time-Turner, Harry. McGonagall gave it to Hermione first term. The both of us, use it, but Hermione uses it more to get to classes." I explain to Harry

"You mean we've gone back in time?"

"Yes."

We go back to watching the scene unfold. Past Hermione then punches Malfoy, I laugh thinking to myself how nice that was.

"Malfoy is going to run up soon. We need to go." Harry tells me, I nod and wrap our hands together again and we start running.

We hide behind a stone. Watching our past selves go down to Hagrid's.

"Look. Buckbeak's still alive." Harry points out, It all starts making sense now. "Of course. Remember what Dumbledore said? If we succeed, more than one innocent life could be spared." I explain to Harry

"Let's go!"

We both duck down, and run as fast as we can down to Hagrid's. We end up hiding behind some Huge pumpkins. Watching our past selves talk to Hagrid. We see the executors for Buckbeak. Harry gets up from behind the pumpkin and tells me.

"They're coming. I'd better hurry." I pull him back down and tell him.

"Fudge has to see Buckbeak before we steal him. Otherwise, he'll think Hagrid set him free."

Soon Hagrid brings out Scabbers and gives him to Ron. Harry's hand tightens in my hand. He tries to unlink his hands, but I yank him back over by me.

"That's Pettigrew."

"Harry, you can't."

"He betrayed my parents. You don't expect me to sit here."

"He also got my dad thrown in Azkaban. Mum had to see Scabbers on the daily basis. And you know what she did. She kept her cool. So sit the hell down!"

"Fine. Why aren't we leaving?" I look up and see Fudge is coming closer. And we have yet to leave. Crap. What do we do? I look down to see if anything can help me. A stone!

This is the one that broke the vase and hit Harry. I pick it up and throw it. It hits the vase, shattering it quickly.

"Are you mad?" Harry asked, we haven't left. So I grab another stone and throw it as hard as I can to hit Harry in the head. Past Harry yelps out in pain, as a yelp comes from present Harry

"Ow! That hurt!"

"Sorry."

We are starting to leave now, so I grab Harry and run into the forest. We hide behind trees, as past us hide behinds the pumpkins. I stare at past me, and I see how bad my hair looks from the back.

"Is that really what my hair looks like from the back?"

Past me turns back, to look into the forest Harry grabs me in time though. We wait silently in the forest for past us to leave. Once they do we emerge from the trees. I turn to Harry and asks him.

"Harry. Does my hair look bad from the back?"

He sighs and pushes me in front of him to walk. I hide behind the pumpkins again. As Harry tries to get Buckbeak. It's not working and Harry is failing. I look around for something. To get Buckbeak up, I spot dead ferrets and go running to grab them.

"Come on, Buckbeak. Come and get the nice dead ferret." Buckbeak follows, as I smoothly lead him into the forest. Harry in front of me.

We watch as fudge and the executors. Stare in shock of Buckbeak disappearing in thin air. Hagrid offers to make tea, as Fudge and Dumbledore follow. The executor stays outside. He swings his blade up and slashes it down on a pumpkin.

The crows go crazy around him, I guess that's what we saw.

"Come on," Harry tells me, he tugs on Buckbeak's leash making him follow us. We got deeper into the forest which leads us by the Whomping Willow, we sit and wait

"Now what?"

"We save my dad."

"How?"

"I have no idea. But we can do it."

"Look. It's Lupin."

"And Snape's coming."

We watch the scene unfold. Watching it, like a movie, but it stars us. We just need to wait, I think to myself. Harry and I take a seat on the ground. I rest my head on Harry's shoulder. He hugs me closer to him, we just sit there silently waiting.

"Do you remember what happened, down by the lake?" Harry asks me, breaking the silence. I shake my head because sadly I do not remember.

"I saw my dad. My dad conjured the Patronus."

"Harry, I'm sorry but your dad is... Dead."

"Yes I know, but I'm telling you. You have to believe me."

"Yes, I believe you." We go back to being quiet until Harry breaks the silence once again. "Sirius told me, he wants me to live with him."

I stare a Harry wide-eyed.

"Oh Merlin, Harry do you know what that means?" He shakes his head I jump on him and yell. 

"A forever sleepover!"

"I don't understand. What do you mean?" He asks, looking up at me.

"Well, mum is going to move in with dad. So duh I'll be coming with her. And then you live with us. So put it together, and it's a forever sleepover!"

Harry chuckles at how happy I am for this. He pushes me off of him, only for me to jump back on him straddling him once again.

"I can't wait! It'll be so much fun. You, me, Hedwig, Sabrina. Oh and don't forget mum and dad. Do you think we could share a room?"

"Athena, calm down. It will be so much fun, I can't wait for the fun too. But will your mum and Sirius allow us to share a room?"

"Oh, I didn't think of that. If they don't we can always just sneak into each other's room." Harry nods agreeing with me, he pushes me off him again, this time I stay off of him. He watches Dad and Uncle Moony fight in their animal forms. While I play with a stick in the dirt.

"Let's go." I look up and Harry has his hand out, I grab it and we run a little further down into the forest. We watch our past selves come face to face with the werewolf. It looks like we're about to be attacked, I have to think quick. And I remember the howl!

I howl out, causing the werewolf to turn and run to us in the forest. Oh shit.

"Great! Now he's coming for us."

"Yeah, I didn't think about that. Run!"
