Our Patronuses

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Here we come."

We lifted our heads. There we were. Sirius talked to Harry as Ron, Hermione and me talked. "You see Sirius talking to me there?" Harry asked.

"He was asking me to come live with him."

"That's great."

I looked at Harry and Sirius. Harry would have obviously taken the opportunity. But Sirius is still framed. He's not a free man. I don't think he will be anymore. "When we free him, we'll never have to go back to the Dursleys anymore. It'll just be me and him."

"..." I was going to say something. I was. But, I didn't. I decided that I wouldn't tell him the risks. He'd figure that out himself.

"We could live in the country. Some place you can see the sky."

I don't think Hermione wants to tell him either. "Like the burrow?" I asked. Harry nodded. "I think he'll like that after all those years of Azkaban."

12 years in Azkaban. What's his sentence? 'Till death? "Harry!" Past-Hermione shouted. "Run!" A roar from Remus and a scream for Hermione. I felt like past-me would die even though I'm still alive right now.

"Let's go." We ran and ran through the bushes.

Untill we found a little clearing. I saw past-Harry lift up his arm and throw something at Werewolf Lupin. He turned towards Harry and walked up to him.

Of course, I hadn't seen this. Suddenly, Hermione howled. "What are you doing?" I exclaimed. "Saving your life!" He referred to Harry.

Hermione continued to howl. Lupin looked towards the source, Hermione. Probably hadn't seen her, of course. "Thanks." Harry said. Lupin headed towards us. I turned and ran farther into the woods behind us. "Hermione, you didn't think about this, did you?" I asked as we ran. "Yeah." Hermione replied. 

As we ran into the foggy forest, I could hear Lupin's roars. It scared me. How such a caring man could turn into a viscious wolf. 

We ran up a hill. Harry tripped. Stupid.

Hermone turned around and helped him up. I didn't. I figured he would have done it himself. 

We ran and hid behind a tree.

Oh, I hoped and hoped that Lupin hadn't seen us hide. I hoped, I prayed. If we died, our mission to save Sirius would have failed.

All of a sudden, I thought about Buckbeak. We left him behind. Oh no. I saw Lupin out of the corner of my eye. We turned to the other side of the tree and hoped he wouldn't have seen us.

Luckily,he hadn't.

We turned to the other side of the tree again. We didn't see behind us. We were stupid.

We all turned around. Lupin. Lupin the freaking Werewolf saw us. Harry turned to protect Hermione while I took my wand out.

"Immobu--"

I was mid spell. Buckbeak, sweet savior, appeared out of nowhere and lunged towards Lupin. With his hind legs, he punched Lupin. 

Lupin had run away. 

Buckbeak turned towards us after Lupin was long gone. "That was so scary." Hermione whispered. "Poor Professor Lupin's having a pretty hard night."

It go so windy all of the sudden. I felt sadness, depression, odd. I looked up. Surely enough, there they were. Dementors. "Sirius. Come on!"

We ran again until we found a little clearing near a lake. 

"This is horrible." Hermione said.

"Don't worry. My dad will come. He'll conjure the Patronus."


However, Harry's dad didn't appear, and we waited for a long time. "I told you, Harry. Your father won't come." I said.

"Shall we?" I asked clearly saying 'shall we cast the spell?' "Yeah" I said. "Expecto Patronum!" Harry and I said.

However, this time wasn't like any other, the Patronuses intermingled. They look like they played with each other. They crossed paths, danced, played. And the dementors flew away quicker than expected, but the patronuses still played together.

Then suddenly I felt like my energy was running out. Right when I felt that the patronuses went away. So I assume Harry felt that too. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Come on, Buckbeak!"

Buckbeak emerged from behind a tree. We planned on getting Sirius from the highest tower in Hogwarts. Buckbeak was going to help us. 

But one thing was certain. Buckbeak wouldn't stand four people. "Accio Broomstick." I said. My broom came lunging towards me. "What are you doing?" Harry asked. "Buckbeak won't stand four people."

I climbed onto my broomstick.

Harry got on Buckbeak's back, Hermione hesitated but got on too.

Harry talked, but I really didn't pay attention. I was very sleepy now.

Hermione screamed as we got nearer and nearer the tower for a landing. "Jesus, Hermione! My ears!"

We landed on the tower. We quickly got off and headed towards the door. Hearing our footsteps, Sirius turned his head to us. Hermione took  her wand and shouted, "Bombarda!"

The door exploded along with a little bit of the walls too.

Sirius got onto the back of Buckbeak along with Hermione and Harry. I got on my broom and we were off again. 

We landed on Hogwarts grounds, the courtyard. "I'll be forever greatful for this." Sirius said, once on the ground. "To the three of you."

"I want to go with you." Harry said.  "One day, perhaps." Sirius replied. "For some time, my life will be too unpredictable. And besides... you're meant to be here."

"But you're innocent." Harry said. "And you know it."

I turned towards Buckbeak who was picking at his chains. I decided to not pay attention to Harry and Sirius's conversation. 

It's none of my business, anyway.

Sirius got on the back of Buckbeak. "You really are the brightest witch of your age. And you..." Sirius looked at me. "You're a true Gryffindor but with a mix of Hufflepuff."

Sirius went off on Buckbeak up and up in the air. Where he was going?

I only assume that he was going where the moonlight took him.
