Harmione and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Cat, Rat, and Dog

"I can't believe they're going to execute Buckbeak!" Hermione said as she walked towards Hagrid's "it's too horrible,"

"It's just got worse," Ron pointed towards Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle who were sneering about Buckbeak and Hermione face lit up in anger she ran towards him

"Look who it is?" Crabbe sneered

"Mudblood and her boyfriend Scarhead," Goyle sneered

"You foul, evil, loathsome little cockroach," Hermione spat pointed her wand at Malfoy's neck as Malfoy trembled

"He's not worth it," Harry sighed he would love Hermione to hex Malfoy into oblivion but didn't want her to get in trouble. Malfoy sneered as Hermione lowered her wand but she followed it up with a hard punch to Malfoy's nose. He colassped down and ran away his nose bleeding, with Crabbe and Goyle helping him. Harry and Ron stood there awed, as Hermione flushed a little bit at Harry's open mouth and Ron's raised eyebrows.

"That was brilliant," Harry said still a little awed, the group walked down towards the hut and stopped at a tree where they could see the executioner lifting his axe. Hermione rested her head against Harry's chest and hugged him as Harry wrapped his hands around her, she let out a small sob as the executioner brought his axe down onto Buckbeak and there was a loud chopping noise as the silence marked Buckbeak's death, Hermione squeezed Harry as she wiped her tears and went down to Hagrid's. Hagrid opened the door wiping his face with a tissue the size of a tablecloth, Hagrid gave them a bone-crushing hug and made tea for them Harry managed to comfort Hagrid slightly but then Hagrid saw Ron and looked out his milk jug.

"Ere, Ron I wanted to give yer something," Hagrid tipped open an empty milk jug and a skinny rat tipped out and Ron snatched up the pale rat and Hermione looked at him.

"SCABBERS!" Ron shouted and looked at Hermione "I'm sorry," Ron paused "Crookshanks if he's here for accusing you of Scabber's murder," Harry frowned and Hermione snarled at him when a large knock was on the door and Hagrid ushered the trio outside as Dumbledore, the executioner and Fudge came in and were talking about the execution of Buckbeak much to the small pleasure of Buckbeak who was frowning. Hermione, Harry and Ron snuck behind the giant pumpkins and watched as Fudge talked with Hagrid who was moaning and looked like he just wanted to grieve his 'Beaky.' Hermione took Harry's hand as the trio walked back towards Hogwarts, Hermione still upset but angry she hadn't hexed Malfoy. Just then Scabbers bit Ron's finger and leapt to the ground he ran down into the Whomping Willow as Ron chased after the rat and caught him just under the tree.

"Harry! Hermione! Run IT'S THE GRIM!" Ron pointed and Harry saw a great black dog behind him snarling, it was just smaller than a wolf, with tattered black fur and smelly breath oozing out of the jaws. It barked and focused on Harry, it yellow teeth were bared and it leaped in between Harry and Hermione knocking them onto the ground and leaped upon Ron and sunk its teeth into Ron's leg and started to drag Ron towards the Whomping Willow as if Ron were a rag-doll. "HARRY!" Ron yelped as the Grim dragged Ron further downwards

"RON!" Harry said running after Ron as did Hermione "RON!" Harry dove onto the floor as Harry was dragged underneath the roots of the Whomping Willow. Harry helped Hermione to her feet but just then the branch of the Whomping Willow hit Harry and Hermione in the stomach sending them crashing to the ground. They got up and charged at the tree as it thrashed its branches onto the ground, luckily dodging two but Harry was hit and knocked clean off his feet while Hermione hopped over another. A large branch came thrashing down near Harry but he rolled aside as it came down again, Harry found his glasses and put them on and looked at Hermione who had latched onto another branch and was being swung around as she screamed wildly as she was dragged through the brambles and Harry reached out but Hermione grabbed him and he fell down under the Whomping Willow and heard another scream as Hermione came crashing down on top of him and he sunk back to the ground.

"Sorry," Hermione said as both helped each other up "where do you suggest this leads?"

"I have a hunch, I just hope I'm wrong," Harry said as he heard a large wail from Ron

"We're in the Shrieking Shack," Hermione gulped following Harry

"Ron!" Harry walked into a small room where Ron was shaking clutching Scabbers shaking madly "where's the dog?"

"It's a trap he's the dog," Ron said pointing towards the corner "he's an animagus!" Harry and Hermione gasped as they saw a shriveled man with filthy black hair, he was wearing filthy rags, he had filthy yellow teeth, tattoos plastered over his chest he had sunken eyes which were looking at Harry with a mad look in his eye. His hair was matted with filth and dust, his prison robes were tattered and he was no more than skin and bone, you could see his bones popping out his skin and he didn't turn his glare away from Harry who eyes were now round and stunned. Hermione was whimpering next to him and he realized the man who was glaring at him, Sirus Black.

"If you're going to kill Harry you're going have to kill us as well," Hermione said stepping in front of Harry protectively

"No only one will die tonight," Black croaked

"THEN IT'LL BE YOU!" Harry shouted and leaped upon Black and started to pummel him and he raised his wand but Black turned him over and his hands were put over his neck and Harry felt his face go white and he felt his life taken out of them. He slowly started to pass out when he saw Hermione's foot swing out of nowhere and Black fell back grunting in pain. Hermione helped Harry up and they both pointed their wands at Black, but Black grabbed Hermione and pointed his wand at her neck and forced Harry to drop his wand but Hermione nudged him and gave him back his wand and they had to finish it.

"Expelliarmus!" Lupin ran into the room and grabbed Harry's wand as Hermione put hers away he moved away from Black and pointed his wand down at him. Hermione grabbed him and took his arm as Lupin rounded on Black.

"Finally the flesh reflects the madness within," Lupin said pointing his wand at Black

"Well you would know all about the madness within, Remus," Black said as Remus helped him up and gave him a quick hug. Hermione snarled and she felt rage bubbling inside her and she stepped in front of Harry.

"NO! I TRUSTED YOU!" Hermione roared her face blazing "ALL THIS TIME YOU'VE BEEN WITH HIM!" Hermione was now bright red "He's a werewolf, that's why he's been missing classes!" Hermione pointed at Lupin who went a little pale and looked at Hermione

"How long have you know?" Lupin asked

"Ever since Snape's essay," Hermione replied

"Well, well Hermione you really are the brightest witch of your age," Lupin mocked as Harry looked at Ron face which was now horrified with fear and worry.

"Enough talk Remus, let's kill him!" Black roared holding Ron's wand

"Wait-" Lupin said

"I DID MY WAITING, TWELVE YEARS OF IT IN AZKABAN!" Black shouted
