Pup

Chapter 28

It's been about a week now since I found Uncle Sirius in the forest and I haven't really stopped for a rest. I've been up and down, running to Uncle Sirius, doing homework, pranking, dating Fred, visiting Dad...

At the moment I was sitting in the common room throwing pillows at Harry. He'd just given me and Fred a ship name and it was annoying me. Guess what it was.

Foxy.

Of all of the ship names! But if a was secretly honest with myself, I kinda liked it, but I would never let Harry know that!

"Okay okay! I won't say foxy anymore!" Harry surrendered and with a triumphant nod I flopped onto the sofa, squishing Harry at the same time.

"Oi! I'm sitting here!" Harry complained and I laughed

"Well so am I! Deal with it Hazza!" I replied and he just scoffed at the new nickname. Soon we were both laughing (I had sat up by now), then some people walked through the door that made our jaws drop.

Ron and Hermione had just walked through the door, laughing and getting along just fine!

Me and Harry just took one look at them before rushing over and questioning them.

"You're getting along again? Hallelujah!" I shouted and hugged Hermione, making us all laugh.

"Yeah, well, Scabbers was getting old anyway so..." Ron trailed off and I grinned at him, giving him a hug too.

"Well done you two! You made up before me and Roxy went crazy!" Harry said and Hermione scoffed.

"Oh please, Roxy was crazy anyway!" Hermione said and that resulted in me chasing her around the common room for half an hour. I swear half the time we act like first years! Not a care in the world, well, that was all about to change.

---Time skip to Buckbeaks execution---

Turns out Ron's rat was alive, hiding Hagrid's hut! And as much as I wanted to be happy about that, I couldn't at the moment, not with the given circumstances.

We were all huddled at the stone circle having just got out of Hagrids hut. The executioner raised his axe and I hid my face in Harry's shoulder and heard the sickening thud of an axe. It was all over. I heard Hermione sobbing on Ron's shoulder and Harry gave me a brotherly hug. We all stood there in silence until...

"Ouch! Scabbers! Come back here!" Ron cried and started scrambling after his rat.

"No! Ron stop! That's the-" Hermione started but whatever she was going to say was cut off by a deep growl.

I looked up, Hermione screamed and Harry paled. There was a huge dog standing ahead of us and Ron was heading straight for it.

But it wasn't any old dog, it was Uncle Sirius.

"What are you DOING!?" I shouted to Uncle Sirius but it also sounded like I was shouting to Ron so both of the looked at me. Ron just carried on chasing Scabbers until he looked up and saw Sirius, Uncle Sirius looked at me with apologetic eyes and pounced on Ron, the same time that Ron caught Scabbers.

We put up a hut of a fight to get Ron back but all of the food and water I had given Uncle Sirius had made him stronger so with a cry, Ron was pulled into the hole at the base of the whomping willow leaving me, Harry and Hermione standing there.

"We have to go and get him" Harry said and me and Hermione nodded, but I was worried. What will Uncle Sirius say to us?
