STARMAN; 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 [1]

Chapter 11.

It must have been around 2am when Andromeda finished her letter towards Mr Scamander. She used one of her favourite letter stamps, and run out of the common room in her red plaid pyjamas. The castle was warm against the winter cold. She run, with Remus' wand at hand, and her letter on the other. At this time at night, she guessed the Head Boy and Girl would have turned in for the night.

Harry sighed, as he saw his friend's name speeding across the school.
"What is she doing?" He whispered to himself, lighting his wand so he could look for Peter Pettigrew.

On the other side of the school, Annie had just made it to the owlry.
"Sal! Mate where are you?" She whispered shouted, trying to look for her own owl.
Sal energetically arrived at her shoulder.

"Hi pretty boy." She smiled, coddling him.
"You need to take this to Newt Scamander. It's important the letter arrives at one piece. And for you to also arrive in one piece. And also be fast. I know I'm asking you for a lot here, but don't pick and choose." She tied the letter to his claw.

"Have a safe trip." She said, watching Sal speed off.
She sighed, making her way inside.
"Godric it's freezing.."

She bumped into something. More like someone.
"What are you doing here?!" She almost shouted in shock.

"I should be the one asking you that little lady! Out of bed at this hour? Ten points from-"

"What?! No please!"
"Just kidding. Obviously I wouldn't take point from my own house." Remus scoffed,
"But that is not saving you from my own personal privilege of grounding you." Remus shook his head disappointed.

"Okay fine.. but still you should know why I'm out here."

"I was getting to that!" He put his hands on his waist.
"I was sending a letter. Sal just took off."
His brows furrowed.

"To whom?"
"Newt Scamander?"
"Are you messing with me or-"
"No, actually. They have sentenced Buckbeak to death, because Lucius claims he would kill everyone in sight. I'm trying to reopen the case, have someone that is an expert in defending creatures save Buckbeak. I'm not going down that easily." Annie said, shaking her head in disapproval.

Remus smiled softly.
"Merlin you are one and the same." He said under his breath.

"What?"
"Nothing, let's go." He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, leading her back to the common room.

"You know I had to lead Harry to the common room 2 minutes before this." He said, ruffling some paper in his inside pocket. A wand was also sticking out from his pocket.

"Really? What is that boy even doing anymore..." She said sleepily.
"Same as you I imagine. Engaging anywhere, everywhere at any point in time." Remus sighed tiredly.
"Did you finish your essay for tomorrow?" He yawned.

"I wrote it the very same day you set the deadline." She deadpanned.
"Of course you did. Come on." He woke up the Fat Lady, for the second time in a row, allowing Annie to go inside.
