The Boy Who Fought: OC X Hermione

Into the Whomping Willow

Carson, Harry, and Hermione all saw the black dog running out.

"Ron! Run!" Carson shouted, running over, and grabbing Ron, trying to get him away before the dog moves closer.

"Harry! Run!" Ron shouted, seeing the black dog leap over Harry and go straight for Ron.

"Ron! No!" Carson yelled, grabbing Ron's hand as he gets dragged by the dog into the whomping willow.

"Ahhh! Help!" Ron shouted, trying to grab onto the branches, but the dog was too strong.

Carson leaped and grabbed Ron's hand, but only being dragged by the dog as well.

"Ron! Carson!" Harry shouted, grabbing onto Carson's feet, trying to pull the two back. Suddenly, there was a crack. Carson screamed in pain, and let go of Ron, letting the dog drag him down into the tree.

"Carson!" Hermione shouted, rushing over to her boyfriend as he was grabbing his ankle in pain.

"Episkey!" Hermione casted, hearing Carson's ankle snap back into place. She rushed to hug him, before Harry interrupted their moment.

"We need to get Ron!"

"Right! Let's go 'Mione!"

The three try to avoid the moving roots, as they hop over different ones. Carson and Hermione duck just in time, but Harry does not. He gets flung one way, his glasses going the other. Carson rushed over to Harry's glasses, and made is way to give them back.

Once Harry gets his glasses back, they both see Hermione coming their way on a branch.

"Ahhhhh!" They all shout as Hermione grabs onto them both, pulling them with her and the branch throwing them into the darkness of the inside of the tree.

As they all fell, Carson broke Hermione's fall after he landed.

"Thanks love." Hermione said, getting up and pulling Carson up as well.

"Don't mention it." Carson told her through coughs since she knocked the wind out of him.

"Lumos." Harry casted, the bright light coming from his wand.

The three made their way down the path that was made, looking for their friend. They walked down the dirt path, wands out and ready.

"This is on the map, but it looks like it leads to Hogsmeade..." Harry said, remembering the passage.

"In case we get murdered or something, I'm just gonna say it now. I love you Hermione." Carson told his bushy haired girlfriend. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "I love you too. Although I wish we didn't have to say it this way."

The three continued to make their way through, as the couple was holding hands with smiles on their faces, despite the situation they were currently in.

"Where do you suppose this goes?" Hermione asked Harry and Carson.

"I have a hunch. I just hope I'm wrong..." Harry said, as Carson nodded along.

The three made their way into what looked like a dirty and rotten house. The walls were peeling, and the floors creaked with every step.

"We're in the Shrieking Shack, aren't we?" Hermione asked, holding on to Carson.

"I think so. At least you got to go closer like you wanted?" Carson said, hoping his joke would ease the tension.

After seeing Hermione glare at him, he muttered an apology as they walked up the shacks stairs. Hermione still keeping her hold on her boyfriend.

They walked into a room, and saw Ron holding his foot. All three were relieved to see him alive.

"Ron! You're okay!" Carson said to his friend.

"The dog- Ron where's the dog?" Harry said, not missing a beat.

"It's him Harry! He's an Animagus! He's the dog!" Ron shouted, Harry looked over at the pawprints on the floor to see Sirius Black right in front of him, looking all ragged with murderous rage, wand out and pointed at the four friends.
