"Mina! Oh my gosh! What happened? Are you alright? Where were you last night? I heard it had something to do with Sirius Black!" Beth screams as soon as I enter the common room, flinging her arms around my neck. I smile.
"Well, what happened is a very long story. Yes, I'm alright, well sorta anyway. I was all over the place last night, but mainly in the forest and the Shrieking Shack. And yes, it has pretty much everything to do with Sirius Black." I say, talking to them. Everyone in the room looks shocked. Especially Theo and Draco. I laugh at their expressions.
"Mina, if this is a joke..." Theo starts to say to me as I look at him.
"No, it's not a joke, but your expression was hilarious!" I say, so confidently. He smiles a little and I hug him. He pulls me close.
"Tell me everything that happened." He says, so firmly. I sigh.
"I'm not sure if I can tell you everything. I mean, most things, yes, but I think that we'll go to Azkaban if I tell you everything." I said to him, nervously. Everyone stares at me. I sigh and let go of Theo, sitting down.
"Well, as you know, me, Harry, Ron, and Mione went down to see Hagrid. Then, we ran into this jerk." I begin, glaring at Draco. He smiles weakly. "Then, we went down, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, Hagrid told us to get out of the hut, so we ran back up the hill and heard the thud of an ax... But, Scabbers, Ron's rat, bit him and ran to the Whomping Willow. Ron ran after him and we ran after Ron, but then the grim appeared and bit Ron, pulling him down through the roots of the tree. Harry, Mione, and I tried to get to him, but as you can see, the tree doesn't really like people." I say, showing them my scar from my shoulder to my elbow. They stare in shock. I slightly smile.
"Anyway, we got in eventually and followed the tunnel, ending up in the Shrieking Shack. Sirius was there, and Lupin and Snape came too. We talked for a bit — I'm not really sure if I'm allowed to tell you guys what we said — but basically, it turns out that Sirius is innocent and my godfather. Pettigrew was the real killer, but anyway, we came back out of the tunnel and it, well it happened to be a full moon..." I trail off, wondering if they know about Lupin.
"Lupin..." says Beth. I nod. They know. I breathe in deeply.
"He... changed. Sirius tried to protect us and Lupin ran off after him. Harry ran after Sirius, and I tried to as well, but Snape held me back. I took Ron up to the Hospital Wing with Mione and..." I look down. "I'm not sure if I can tell you the rest..." I say to them. Theo places a hand on my shoulder. I look up at him.
"Please tell us." He says, so softly. I look at them all, my gaze lingering on Draco.
"I won't tell anyone." Draco says to me, nicely. I frown, but then sigh and nod.
"None of you can tell anyone." I say to them. They all nod. I sigh again.
"Mione has a time turner. Well, she might not anymore, but we used it to save Buckbeak and Sirius." I say. They stare at me.
"How...?" Blaise begins to say to me, but I shake my head.
"I'm too tired." I say, standing up. Beth comes with me and we head up to our dormitory to pack.
*************************************************** I sit with my famous group of four on the way away from home. We're all smiling and chatting, laughing like we always do. Theo puts his arm around my waist. I smiled at him. Beth wiggles her eyebrows at us and I laugh, leaning into Theo. He smells so nice. I'm sorry, that's a little weird, but trust me, I don't normally go around, smelling people.
When we arrive at King's Cross, I hop out. Harry is saying goodbye to Ron and Hermione while Draco and his goons are in the corner. Theo takes my arm and pulls me aside. I immediately notice Draco and Harry glaring at him. Whatever.
"Here." says Theo, handing me a small box. I open it and gasp. A beautiful bracelet charm is there. A silver heart. I smile and clip it onto the bracelet that I got from Beth in my first year. I hug Theo and he smiles, kissing me on the cheek. I blush and pull away, walking over to say goodbye to Beth and Blaise. I give Beth a massive hug and ruffle Blaise's hair. He chuckles. Then, I say goodbye to Ron and Hermione.
"Mina! I was just going to tell you. Dad might be able to get us all tickets to the Quidditch World Cup!" says Ron. My eyes open wide.
"Oh my gosh! I would love to come!" I say, hugging Ron. He smirks a little and I let go, turning to Hermione. She smiles and hugs me goodbye.
"Take care of yourself, Mina." She says, talking to me. I smile.
"You too, Mione." I say, winking at her. Then, I turn to my brother, who has an unreadable expression on his face. Ugh, I think I know what this is about. Theo. Yay. I'm going to have the pep talk. Great.
