They sat near the tree for more then thirty minutes. None of them said anything. Ellena yet out a yawn and thought about the bagel she had earlier.
Hermione closed her eye and rest her head on the tree leaving Harry and Ellena.
Harry clear his throat which got Ellena's attention. "Er..Can we talk?" He whispered awkwardly
Ellena looked at him for a second & nodded "I'm extremely sorry for what I said in the Hogsmeade, I wasn't thinking and then I saw you, I thought you were Sirius's daughter and it's just— I'm sorry" he said in one breath.
Ellena just said "ok" and moved her legs towards her chest and hugged herself
Harry didn't know what else to say. A simple 'ok' doesn't look like she forgive him
"Em...can-can i ask you something?" She looked at him again but didn't said anything so he continued "do you believe Sirius? I mean you probably hate him—"
"Hate is a big word Potter" she interrupted "I don't think I hate anyone in my life. Especially not Sirius"
"But people ask—"
"People do annoy me with the whole Sirius's daughter thing, that doesn't mean I grew to dislike him" she said softly "I never knew him but he's still family"
"He's my godfather" he said "he's the only family I have"
Ellena nodded "I know" she removed her hands from her legs and sat properly "he isn't only your godfather"
Harry raised his eyebrow "what you mean?"
"Here we come!" Hermione's voice made the two look at the Whomping Willow. They were too busy in the conversation that they didn't realised when Hermione got up
"we've got to stay put. We mustn't be seen. There's nothing we can do" Hermione said as she notice the look on Harry's face and knew exactly what he was thinking
"So we're just going to let Pettigrew escape all over again.." said Harry quietly.
"How do you expect to find a rat in the dark?'" Ellena snapped "There's nothing we can do! We came back to help Sirius. We're not supposed to be doing anything else!"
The moon slid out from behind its cloud. They saw the tiny figures across the grounds stop. Then they saw movement -
"There goes Lupin" Hermione whispered "He's transforming"
"Hermione!"said Harry suddenly "We've got to move! Not to interfere! But Lupin's going to run into the Forest, right at us!"
Hermione gasped "Quick" she moaned, dashing to untie Buckbeak. "Quick Where are we going to go? Where are we going to hide The Dementors will be coming any moment -"
"Back to Hagrid's!" Harry said "It's empty now, come on!"
They ran, fast as they could, Buckbeak cantering alone behind them. They could hear the werewolf howling behind
them
