                                 Luna's POV
I saw her run into the path of her father quickly. She stood with a hand outstretched while Caina growled for the other two to stay back behind her and shot a look to me and Draco. She seemed calm despite the danger looming over her.

"Paddy, please. Stop being a drama queen and tell me what I'm supposed to do! Help me!" She cried.

Ron's rat bit him and tried scurrying away, but Caina easily picked him up in her snout. Sirius launched himself at the young wolf but Eli was faster. She threw herself onto her father and rolled with him, pulling away. Sirius' head smacked against a rock, knocking him unconscious, while Eli stood to check on her familiar. Her arm and torso were shredded, along with her clothes, but she acted like he hadn't touched her. Draco nearly ran out but I held him back gently.

"What are you two idiots doing out here?"

"We heard that-"

"You heard that Sirius Black was here and you figured that you'd bring him in to the dementors, right? Let me ask you this, did you ever stop to remember that he has a daughter that loves him? That you turning him in means that she loses him forever? Of course not, you only think of yourselves. You also didn't think that your rat wasn't really a rat."

"Scabbers is a rat!"

"No he's not," she held her hand under Caina's snout. "Caina, release," we watched the rat drop into her hand and her pull her wand out.

"What are you doing?"

"Proving a point. If the spell doesn't work, you can have Black. If it does then you give me Peter here and we release Sirius. Do we have a deal?"

Harry shook her empty hand. After it was released she pulled out her wand and muttered some spell at the rat. An ugly, mousy looking man replaced the animal. He crawled over to Harry and began groveling. Professor Snape appeared out of seemingly nowhere, and Sirius' body stirred slightly.

"I swear to God Lizzy! Why are you always in the middle of these things?"

"I'm stupid and think of the pros of my actions without thinking of the cons? I've handled it, we need to get Paddy to the shack and give the rat to the dementors."

He sighed,"let's hurry up then."

Peter then crawled over to her feet and began kissing her shoes. "Please miss. Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"Oh I'm not going to kill you," He began kissing her shoes again. She crouched down to get a good look at him. Her eyes were filled with anger and hatred as she said, "because I can't get my father free if you're dead. I'm going to turn you over to the ministry so he can be free. They'll decide what to do with you," she smiled.

"Eli, what are you doing out here!"

"The same can be said about you! Moony, you shouldn't be out."

"You two come first," Professor Lupin responded.

"I have handled things like this on my own you know!"

"Not alone!"

"I'm not!" She responded. "Luna, Drake, I think it's alright for you to come out."

"Hello professors," I stood beside her. Draco gave them a small wave.

"Luna, can you heal Caina? I'm no good at healing charms and I need to deal with the rat."

"Of course," I said dreamily before walking over to the wolf. "Are you okay?" She responded by showing me her back leg that was slick with blood. I taped her leg lightly with my wand, casting a few non-verbal spells.
