Finally ; Harry Potter [1]

Chapter 30

Robyn and Harry sat in a comfortable silence after what happened. It gave Robyn a lot to think about and she was glad Harry had alot on his mind, so it gave them both time to collect their thoughts.

They waited patiently for Hermione to come back and when she did, Robyn jumped up and practically sprinted over to the bushy haired girl. She was oblivious to the confused and slightly hurt look Harry sent her. It left him thinking he did something wrong.

But he didn't have time to ponder over that thought as excitement and anxiousness filled his veins. It was time. Finally. To save Sirius. To help him escape his living hell.

Hermione showed them to the clearing she found in the forest and wasted no time on climbing on to Buckbeak's back.

Harry took the front seat, then Hermione and Robyn. Robyn felt thankful Hermione sat in between Harry and herself as Robyn felt slightly awkward and weird around Harry now she knew her newfound feelings.

Harry was oblivious to everything and so was Hermione and Robyn hoped she didn't make it too obvious. She had never been good at socialising, so she didn't have a bloody clue about how she was going to deal with this. It was strange to her. Completely and utterly new. She found it slightly alarming and scary.

Robyn had hoped it was just the excitement and fear of the events that had happened that was making her feel the way she was.

Maybe it's just a heat of the moment thing? Maybe it was because you were so new to having friends, you convinced yourself you had a crush on Harry? And if not...well you need to hurry up and get over this thing for Harry, Robyn! Because it's wrong and complicated and he obviously doesn't feel the same, so it will just make things difficult. You will only get hurt and it's all on your own accord, not Harry's.

Robyn fought with her head most of the way to the highest tower of Hogwarts castle. She was irritated by it but also slightly glad it happened as it took her mind off the whole flying thing. She really did hate heights. But just as she saw the tower coming into view, she also caught the last of Harry and Hermione's conversation.

"You were right, Hermione. It wasn't my dad I saw earlier. It was... me. I saw myself conjuring the Patronus before. I knew I could do it this time, because... because I'd already done it. Does that make sense?" Harry called out, his voice raised so it could be heard over the rushing wind.

Robyn blinked, herself and Hermione contemplating what Harry had said.

"No." Hermione said, looking down in fear. "But I don't like this!"

Robyn thought about it for a few more seconds. "Yes. Yes, it makes sense...I think."

They reached the tower and landed with a soft thud. Once they climbed down from Buckbeak, they saw Sirius pacing in a small cell. He looked troubled and scared. Spying Harry, Hermione and Robyn, Sirius stopped, stunned to see them.

Meanwhile; Snape, a torch in hand, led the way up to the tower, Fudge huffing after.

Hermione pushed past Harry. "Out of the way!" She ordered as she raised her wand.

"Alohomora!" Sirius walked up to the metal bars which stood unmoving.

"Didn't really expect that to work." Hermione muttered and Robyn giggled slightly.

Snape and Fudge drew closer and closer.

Wand flashing, Hermione tried spell after spell. "Dunamis! Liberare! Annihilare! Emancipare! No. No. No. No." She exlaimed, stomping her foot in frustration.

"You might try --" Sirius began.

"Quiet! I'm trying to think." Hermione snapped mid-way through Sirius' sentence.
