Finding The Way {A Harry Potter FanFiction}

Chapter 39: Time-Turner

Wattpaders! I have returned!

Sorry for the late update, I'm in the process of moving {Again}, and it's really screwed up on my updating schedule. :(

Well, here it is! The next chapter! I really DON'T like this one, it sucks, but it's really a hard part of the book to add two more characters into. I did my best, so please be nice.

Phoenix POV

"WHAT?"  I jolted awake, nearly falling off the cot I was on. I sat up, holding my head with one hand to try and stop the dizziness. I tried to focus on what Harry was yelling at Madam Pomfery, but they where speaking quickly and their loud voices bounced around the tall walls of the hospital wing as well as inside my own head. It wasn't until Dumbledore had managed to quite Harry, Ron, Hermione and Leo (I have to give him a bit of credit, it's very hard to silence Leo) that I could understand what I was hearing. 

"Now, it is your turn to listen and I beg you not to interrupt me, because there is very little time." The headmaster said quietly. I sat up and scooted to the foot of my cot, closer to the small crowd of my friends. "There is not a shred of proof to support Black's story, except the words of five thirteen year old wizards, two of whom are his own children, that will not convince anybody. A street full of eyewitnesses  swore they saw Sirius murder Pettigrew. I myself gave evidence to the Ministry that Sirius had been the Potters' Secret-Keeper."

"Lupin can tell you-" I started to say, only to be cut off. 

"Professor Lupin is deep in the woods, and will be unable to anyone anything until he's in human form again-" This time Harry who spoke, cutting off the person speaking. 

"Phoenix! Phoenix can to that-that thing she can do! She can talk to him when he's a werewolf-" Harry started to ramble. 

"It doesn't work like that." I said, almost snapping at him. 

"Why not? You can talk to animals-"

"Exactly. Animals. Lupin is a werewolf." I stated, the difference obvious to me.

"What's the difference?" Harry asked, his voice edging on anger. 

So far today, I'd lost a friend (Buckbeak), made another friend throw up (Max), met my father, knocked out a teacher, and some other things I don't even know how to think about. Having Harry, one of my best friends, nearly yelling at me was not going to happen as well. 

"The difference is that werewolf's have a human conscience, whether it is present in the transformed state or not. Thus, making him not an 'animal.' It's the same reason I couldn't communicate with dad when he was a dog, or Pettigrew when he was Ron's rat. And I don't talk to them. I communicate with them." Harry started to speak again, but I spoke again before he could get a word out. "The difference is it's not a dog barking and me speaking. I hear them through a telepathic-like link. Then I speak." Not I was the one snapping at people. After today, my patience was wearing thin. 

"I believe there will be plenty of opportunities to have Leo and Phoenix explain their abilities at a later date, now..." Dumbledore paused slightly, looking at Hermione. "Now, all we need is a bit more time."

"But-" Hermione stopped speaking quickly and her eyes got wide. "OH!"

"Now, pay attention," Dumbldore said, speaking very low and quiet. I stood up and moved closer to hear the headmaster better. "Sirius is locked in a cell on the tower above Professor Flitwick's office. If all goes well, you will be able to save more than one life tonight. But remember this, all four of you, remember; you must not bee seen. Miss Granger, you know the law, you know what is at stake...You-Must-Not-Be-Seen."
