Astoria's P.O.V

This was the worst possible situation we could be in Sirius Black was standing right before us reviving a hug from Professor Lupin. I have decided he is no longer my favorite Professor. Blaise whispered in my ear and said, "We are in a awful situation aren't we?" I love Blaise's ability to state the obvious it truly is an amazing gift. Harry yells out, "Why did you betray my parents they trusted you." Sirius gained a mournful look and said, "Your wrong about that. Remus and I were two of your parents best friends but there was a third friend named Peter Pettigrew he was the one who gave your parents to, he who must not be named. Harry I'm your godfather" Well isn't that a slap in the face my eyes fell on Harry and it looked as if he had gone into shock. Harry finally regained himself and said, "That doesn't explain why your here though or why you attacked my friend"

Sirius sighed and said, "I wasn't trying to hurt your friend I was trying to grab his pet rat" Ron perked up and said, "What do you want with Scabbers you barbarian" I snickered Ron doesn't have the right to call anyone a barbarian" Sirius started to pace and said, "Have you ever stopped to question why he has lived so long or why he only has nine toes?" My mind picked up the hints as I recalled what happened to Peter Pettigrew. The only thing they found was a single finger. It all made sense Pettigrew must be an illegal animagus. He was Ron's rat" My tone was smug as I said, "Ron give him the pathetic creature and lets be done with this, that's not even a real rat that's a traitor in sheep's clothing." Professor Lupin clapped and said, "Brilliant as always Ms. Greengrass. You also have a very brave heart to follow your friends into danger like you did" Mione spoke up next and said, "Professor Lupin your a werewolf" Professor Lupin then turned his warm gaze to Mione and said, "You're are also brilliant Miss.Granger as always."

Ron let go of his rat and it turned into a sad looking little man, Draco squeezed my hand and said, "Well this is greeting interesting, I'm excited about all of this your insanity must be rubbing off on me" I whispered back and said, "Face it your crazy even without my influence you just needed a partner to express your true feelings with, one who wouldn't tell you to hide your wild side" He blushed and said, "I despise when your right" My tone had a knowing edge to it when I replied, "You must despise me most of the time then because I'm always right." This caused him to growl and pull me closer and Blaise brought us out of the moment by saying, "You two no touchy till we make it back to the common room and please remember to sound proof your room, nobody wants to hear what you two are going to do later tonight"

A twitch appeared by my eye and I said, "You wanker, I have higher standards than what your implying and don't you forget it. Oh, and if you ever mention it again there will be no more chocolate frogs for you." He gasped and said, "Okay there is no need to threaten my food supply, I understand that you and dragon over there are well behaved." My eyes turned back to situation at hand and I saw that Pettigrew was on his knees begging for mercy like the coward he was. It disgusted me that he called himself a Gryffindor. Professor Snape finally got up and was about to say something but the Harry stunned him again, poor old Professor Snape.

We made it out and then a horrifying sight caught my eyes the moon was full and Professor Lupin began to transform into a werewolf and there was nothing we could do except watch in fascinated horror. My tone was desperate as I said, "Guys we should probably seriously consider running, a werewolf is one if the few magical creatures I have no control over." Professor Snape then came charging out and was about to tear into us when a bone chilling howl caught his attention. He covered us with his cloak and got scratched meanwhile Pettigrew had escaped. Professor Lupin advanced on us and then a howl was heard in the distance and he ran off. My eyes then fell on Sirius in his dog form who was limping away and looked to be in serious pain of course who wouldn't be he just had an animal to animal battle with a enraged werewolf.

My mind was spinning this year had been twice as crazy as last year and I have a feeling that the danger level will just continue to rise as the years go on. Someone has to be brave and face the facts though and I will hopefully be that person that proves a Slytherin can be brave and loyal. A swarm of Dementors blanketed the sky above us and journeyed in the direction that Harry and Sirius had gone off in. Draco surprised me by saying, "We should go see what we can do to help, we'll bring Weasel along and use him for Dementor bait if necessary or we can just toss him to them for laughs" Mione then said, "I'm going to make sure that Ron and Professor Snape make it back to the castle in one piece. I want to go with you but I don't know the Patronus charm so I would just be in the way. Pleases help him."

Draco nodded and helped her up off the ground and conjured a stretcher to put Ron on. He then turned to Blaise and said, "Mate as much as you want to come with us I can't afforded to worry about you getting lost so you stay here and help Professor Snape and Grange" Blaise nodded and said,"If you die I will bring you back to life and kill you again for being stupid, understand" Draco nodded and said, "Astoria you know these woods better than I so lead the way." I nodded and began running down the hill and Draco followed instep but soon he tripped and rolled the rest of the way down the hill. I didn't quit know what to make of that but I decided to commit it to my mental folder titled blackmail material. We continued on through the forest and finally arrived at the spot where Harry and Sirius lay and the Dementors were sucking their souls. My heart sank we weren't going to make it in time but then a huge white light from across the way drove the beasts back. Draco immediately knelt by Harry and checked his pulse he nodded and then checked Sirius who was also still alive.

We walked into the medical wing and got treatment for our minor injuries, I just had a few superficial cuts. Ron was hurt the worst and had a broken leg. Draco walked over and sat by me and said, "This has been a wild year huh, I wish we could do something for my uncle Sirius." My tone was soft and I said, "Don't worry we will find a way to help him but right now we have to make sure that our friends are alright.My whole body aches, have you ever had that problem" He laid his head on my shoulder and cast a healing spell on my hand and just held it there and said, "It's because your out of shape, I have too do intense workouts for quidditch. While you like to sit around and read books, I'm not saying your unhealthy before you accuse me of anything. I'm just better suited for intense physical activity." I weakly punched his arm and said, "If you keep bragging like that you might get hexed by a very exhausted witch." He flinched and then relaxed again and said, "Your like a rag doll right now you don't have the strength to do much of anything, love"

That remark set off the warning bells in my head, he just called me love an endearing pet name usually reserved for your significant other. Merlin's bloody unicorn adorned panties he has lost his last bloody marble and I just want to snogg that arrogant grin off his face. My conscious dialed in and said, "Hold on there Miss.I'm ready to rip the Slytherin princes cloth off, think about where you are and dial it back and besides your muggle born remember it won't work." This brought me back to reality and I simply said, "Yeah your probably right but don't push me, you bloody fool." That's when Harry began to wake up so I hopped down off the bed I was sitting on and walked over to his bedside.

Draco and Blaise soon followed me and Harry opened his kind green eyes and said, "What happened, where's Sirius?" Mione spoke up and said, "You were attacked by the Dementors and you almost died and Sirius is imprisoned in the southwest tower and the Dementors are supposed to execute him in a couple hours. I'm sorry Harry" Dumbledore soon marched into the room and stopped before us and said, "I understand all of you are upset but perhaps you can get a second chance to make things right, if you know what I mean Miss. Greengrass, Miss Granger. Yes I believe three times will suffice be careful. Mione and I immediately pulled out the time turners we wore around our neck. It was a gift from Professor Mcgonagall it was supposed to help us take more classes. I motioned for Blaise and Draco to come closer and they did so. I then threw the necklace chain around both of them and I saw that Hermione did the same with Harry. I linked my necklace with Mione and we turned the little hourglass charm three times. Time began to rewind around us and when it finally came to a halt Blaise promptly vomited all over the stone floor. I told him not to eat all those chocolate frogs.

Draco looked around and said in a reviled tone, "Blaise that was disgusting warn a man before you go spewing you stomach contents all over the floor!" Blaise mumbled a sorry and then proceeded to puke again only this time it hit Harry's shoe, lovely. My tone was rushed as I conjured and energy candy and said, "We have to hurry guys and be careful of who sees you. We have gone back in time to a little bit before Buckbeaks execution. If we get caught it could cause a timely disaster now lets hurry to Hagrid's we can still save my beloved Buckbeak and Sirius." After I said that were off and running down the corridor I can only pray that we aren't too late.
