Ophelia feels her eyes close before Professor Treylawney, comes to the quartets table, scaring Ophelia a lot. She looks at the woman she clearly must have fallen asleep because she couldn't tell if it was her first lesson of the day or her last.

"What do we have here? Hmm?"

"Ooo, uhm do you mind me trying? The Grim possibly." Hermione says as the three look at each other confusedly, first on how Hermione had gotten in without them realising, and how much Hermione hated divination.

"My dear, from the first moment you stepped into my classroom, I sensed you did not posses the proper spirit for the noble art of divination. There you see, uh you may be young in years, but the heart that beats beneath your busum, is as shrivelled as an old maids. Your soul as dry as the pages of the books that you so desperately cleave." She taps the girls hand before Hermione pushes the ball of table and walking out of the classroom annoyed.

Ophelia looks at Hermione with slightly wider eyes as Professor Trelawney looks at the three with a confused expression on her face.

"Have I said something?"

————

Ophelia walks down to the library to find Hermione after what happened in divination, she finds Hermione quietly studying.

"Hermione?" Ophelia says sitting down next to the girl who's clearly revising for a test that's not for 2 months.

"Yes?"

"What what that in divination?"

"Oh, I just really hate divination....if you couldn't already tell. And what Professor said was really getting on my nerves so I guess I let my temper get the best of me." She laughs slightly as does Ophelia.

"I mean It was pretty cool, I hate divination too whenever I see it on my timetable all I wish I could do was just skip." Ophelia replies back,

"Ophelia? Where's Ron and Harry?" Hermione says packing her books and quill away into her satchel.

"Uh, Harry went to return something to Professor Trelawney and Ron.....I don't know I'm pretty sure he's somewhere around the library I told him to meet me outside the libary."

————

"I can't believe they're going to kill Buckbeak it's just too horrible." Hermione says as the quartet walk to Hagrid's hut.

"Just got worse."

"Father says I can keep the Hypogriff's head, I think I'll donate it to Gryffindor's common room." Draco says in the distance before Ophelia runs down toward the boy having had enough of him.

"You, You foul, loasthsome, evil little cockroach!!" Ophelia says pushing a wand up to the boys throat as he scrunches up his face in fear.

"Ophelia no! He's not worth it."

Ophelia keeps the wand their for a few seconds her eyes narrow, she contemplated wether if she should listen to the redhead or go ahead and curse him anyway.

Ophelia takes the wand down from Draco's throat, she turns away and sighing, as Draco laughs with his friends, before a loud smack ringed in the air, as Ophelia's hand has collided with Draco's nose.

"Malfoy you okay? Let's go!" Crabbe says before Draco and his friends run away.

"That felt good." Ophelia sighs in relief, smiling slightly.

"No good, brilliant!" Ron says now smiling as does Hermione and Harry.

————

"Oh, look at him." Hagrid says looking out the window at the peaceful looking Hypogriff.

"Why don't we just set him free?" Harry says confused on why no one has seemed to think of that before.

"They'd know it was me, and Dumbledoor would get into trouble. Comin' down ya know Dumbledoor? Says he wants to be with me when they......when I happens, great man Dumbledoor!" Hagrid's finishes before walking over to the other three who are quietly sitting down by Hagrid's table.

"We'll stay with you too Hagrid." Hermione steps up.

"You'd do no such thing! Think I want you seeing something like that? No. You just drink your tea and be off. Oh before you do, Ron." Hagrid says before walking over and handing Ron a certain rat.

"Scabbers! Your alive!"

"You better keep a close eye on your pets Ron.."

"I think that means you owe someone an apology?" Hermione says walking forward as Ophelia walks towards the window.

"Right, next time I see Crookshanks I'll let him know!"

"I meant me!" Hermione says before the vase breaks making everyone's heads turn to the broken object.

"Bloody hell! Ow!" Ophelia says as something hits the back of her head hardly, "Hagrid." She points to the executioner.

"Oh, it's late and dark you shouldn't be here! Someone sees ya outside that castle at this time of night, you'll be in trouble. Big trouble, particularly you Harry! With you in a moment!" Hagrid says covering all his creatures with blankets.

The four run out of the hut peering out the door before running behind a large stack of pumpkins, Hermione turns her head quickly.

"What?" Harry turns around.

"I thought I just saw......never mind."

"Come on."

Ophelia looks at the Hypogriff feeling sorry for the animal the quartet stop to watch the execution from higher up.

As the executioner walks forward, and eventually lifts his axe up, cutting the creatures head off luckily hid behind a tree.

Ophelia side hugs Ron, before Harry taps the girls shoulder as Ophelia buries her head in the redheads neck, Ron suddenly jumps away as Scabbers bites the boy's finger.

"Scabbers! He bit me!" Ron says before chasing after his rat.

"Ron? Ron!" Hermione shouts after the boy, the three chase Ron before stopping in realisation of where they were.

"Harry, Hermione you realise what tree this is right?"

"Ron Run!" Harry shouts at the oblivious boy, who's facial expression changes when he looks behind the three.

"Harry, Ophelia, Hermione run! It's the Grim!" Ron points out at the dog, the dog jumps over the three and grabbing onto Ron's leg.

"Harry, Ophelia!" Ron screams before getting pulled down into the tree.

"Ron!" Ophelia says before a branch from the whomping willow smacks the three, pushing them far back, the three groan.

"Come on!" Harry says as the three run through the whomping willow's branches with Harry getting flown back and Hermione holding onto a branch, going around the tree.

Ophelia jumps over a branch before getting smacked onto one, she grabs onto it tightly before shrieking as she hits into branches, before briefly seeing Hermione throw Harry into the hole in the tree.

She jumps of the branch to find Harry and Hermione already down there, "where do you think this goes?" Ophelia questions

"I have a hunch...I just hope I'm wrong."
