Third Year-
"Ron you need to get control of him, you're going to cause a scene in front of the minister and get all of us in trouble !" Hally chastised her friend who was still attempting to wrestle his uncooperative pet into his pocket."Oh yeah Hally— because I'm really enjoying fighting with my bloody rat right now !" Ron snapped irritably.
The cloak was starting to slip off of him when the trio heard twigs snapping in the distance. The momentary noise caused a long enough distraction when they all turned their heads towards it, inevitably allotting Scabbers a chance to bite the ginger boy extra hard on the tip of his finger.
Ron let out a loud yelp and the rat jumped out of his grip.
"Scabbers, come back !" Ron yelled as he threw the cloak the rest of the way off of him and ran after his pet.
A flash of orange ran past them all as Crookshanks attempted to catch Scabbers before her friend did.
"Crookshanks, no !" Hermione cried out before also throwing the cloak off of herself.
Hally giving up at this point let out a huff before she removed herself from the cloak as well and rolled it into a ball before taking off after all of them.
"Gotcha— you stupid cat !" Ron landed with a harsh thud on the ground before pulling Crookshanks away from Scabbers and then holding his rat out of reach.
"You both need to come back under the cloak before someone sees us !" Hally panted out urgently while Hermione started shooing Crookshanks away from Ron.
As her friends ignored her; too busy paying attention to their pets, Hally took note of what they were standing in front of.
The Whomping Willow.
"Guys we need to move now !" She called out but before anyone had a chance to react to her words Ron paled while he held a hand up and pointed to something behind her.
"Hally ! Hermione ! Behind you—run !"
Hally swung around and reached for her wand just as a large black dog leapt past her.
Her wand was kicked from her hand as the mutt nearly knocked her off of her feet while simultaneously lunging straight for Ron's ankle.
"Get off of me you mangy thing !' He bellowed as the dog was now starting to pull him towards the Whomping Willow. 'Hally— help !" Ron shouted as he started trying to get a grip on the grass with the hand that wasn't holding onto a still squealing Scabbers.
Hally and Hermione took off in the direction that the dog was dragging Ron in but he was already half way down the hidden passage in the Whomping Willow.
"Ron ! Hang on !" Hally yelled as they got within arms reach of him before a large branch came down from above and smacked both girls in their stomachs- which in turn sent them flying backwards before they both landed on the ground with a hard thud.
