NOVA'S POV
A FEW DAYS LATER...
~•~•~•~•~•

Today is the day set for Buckbeak's execution. Hagrid told us when we went down for tea after our classes. We tried to help him with the case but nothing was going to stop Lucius.

We're walking down to Hagrid's hut when we see Draco, Crabbe, and Nott with binoculars waiting for Buckbeak to be killed. "Ooh ooh oooh come to see the show?" Draco sneers. "YOU! YOU FOUL, LOATHE SOME, EVIL, LITTLE COCKROACH!" Hermione yells while pinning him to a big stone wall with her wand at his neck. "Hermione, he not worth it." Ron tries to persuade her to get back. She steps back but when Draco and his goons start laughing she turns back around and punches him square in the nose. "That felt good." She says as she turns back around to us. "Not good, brilliant!" I say laughing at Draco running off.

   We all run down to Hagrid's hut like we planned and he was in there crying. "Would you like some tea?" He sniffles while getting up to grab some mugs. We offer to get Buckbeak away from Hogwarts but he says they would know it was him who did it. Suddenly a vase right next to Hermione smashes completely and she jumps away frightened. I pick up the shell that broke the vase and examined it quickly. I looked out the window and saw nothing out there. Harry groans and I whip around, he's holding the back of his head and looks out the window.

   "Shoot, they're coming." I look at the window to see what he's looking at and I see the executioner, the minister, and Dumbledore all walking towards the hut. "You have to get out o' 'ere! Quick put the back!" We scramble to the back door and Harry turns back around to assure Hagrid that everything will be okay. I pull his arm and we go behind the pumpkin patch.

   Once everybody is in the hut we run up the steps to Hogwarts. We stop right where Hermione punched Draco and I held Harry's hand tightly. I looked down and I blushed. I could see my long brown hair turn pink. The executioner walked out of the hut and to Buckbeak.

   Buckbeak struggled against the ropes that held him in the pumpkin patch. In a flash I heard the slash of the axe the executioner was holding. I felt a tear trickle down my cheek and I wrapped my arms around Harry's neck tightly and I buried my head in the crook of his neck. He held my waist and whispered in my ear, "It's okay. It'll be fine." I pulled away when Ron yelped in and looked at his finger when Scabbers jumped out of his hands.

   "Scabbers bit me!" Scabbers ran away from him as Ron chased him around. He finally caught him but was right beside the Whomping Willow. "Ron watch out!" Harry yelled. "Ron move! That's the Whomping Willow!" I cried.

   "Behind you! It's the Grim!" He yelled pointing his finger to behind us. We all turned around and there was a big black dog growling with its teeth bared. It started running towards us but none of moved because we where to scared. It jumped right over our heads and went straight to Ron. It grabbed him by the leg and started dragging him to the base of the tree.

Harry ran to Ron and held on to his hand trying to pull him out of the tree hole but Ron's hand slipped from his grasp. "RON! RON!" He screamed.

I pulled Harry back before he got hit with a big branch. Both of us were knocked back by a branch that came out of nowhere. Harry grabbed me and rolled around so I didn't get hit with a branch that came flying at the ground. He rolled us around again and I ended up on top of him. "Thanks." I feel my face go hot from being on top of him. "No problem. Just trying to not let you die." He chuckles. Hermione is swinging on a branch and grabs both Harry and I's shirts and pulled us into the tree hole that Ron went in.

Harry fell down into the hole and I landed on top of him. "Sorry." I groaned rolling off of him. "It fine." He helps me up and I turn around to Hermione beside us and she had a big smirk on her face. "Oh shove off." I scoff.

   Hermione, Harry, and I walked through the dark and gross place with our wands lit up so we could see. "Where are we?" Hermione asked while looking in a room that was covered in dirt. "I have a hunch, I just hope I'm wrong." Harry says. I hear a loud yell from a room ahead of us and we all rush towards it. We open the door and see Ron sitting on a bed with his leg covered in blood. "Where's the dog?" I rush over to him and look at his leg. "It's a trap! He's not a dog, he's an animagus!" Ron points a shaky finger behind us. I turn back, I see my dad standing there in a ripped Azkaban jumpsuit and his hair matted together.

   He has dirt all over his face and there are paw prints on the floor leading up to where he is standing.

   "Dad?"
