Harry's POV-
I looked over and saw Draco Malfoy, Pansy, Crabbe and someone else. "What did I say?" Malfoy said, "Father said I can keep the Hippogriffs head, I'll donate it to Gryffindor's room."
I looked from Delia and Hermione and before I could grab them they were walking down the steps and speed walking towards Malfoy and his friends plus Pansy who I had a feeling wasn't going to be a good thing for her with Delia walking down.
"Look who's here," Pansy said. "Ah," Malfoy said, "Come to see the show." Hermione and Delia walked towards them and took their wands out, "You! You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach," Hermione said and Malfoy backed up and Delia and Hermione held their wands in his face.
"Hermione, Delia no," Ron said. Delia lowered her wand and backed up, but Hermione didn't, "He's not worth it."
Hermione lowered her wand and backed up and turned towards us then turned back around and punched Malfoy right in the nose. I looked at her shocked and Delia was smiling.
"Draceyboo," Pansy said running over to him then she stood up and took out her wand, "Expelliamus," Delia said and her wand flew from her hand and Delia caught it.
Pansy turned towards her and Delia went over and punched her right in the nose. Malfoy and her were moaning, "Malfoy are you ok?" Crabbe asked and nobody asked anything about Pansy, "Let's go quick."
Malfoy and them ran off, "Not a word to anyone, understood?" Malfoy said as they ran up to the castle. Delia smiled, "That felt good," Hermione said turning towards us.
"Not good, brilliant," Ron said. Delia laughed, "I should probably give Pansy her wand back," she said, "Be right back."
She ran off then came back a short while later, "Ok let's go see Hagrid." We nodded and ran down to Hagrids and I was smiling at Delia the whole time, 'She's incredible,' I thought.
Delia looked at Buckbeak with a sad look. "Look at him," Hagrid said once we got inside, "Loves the smell of the trees when the wind blows through them."
"Why don't we just set him free?" I suggested. He sighed, "They'd know it was me and then Dumbledore would get into trouble," he said, "he's coming you know, Dumbledore say's he wants to be with me when they....."
He paused for a minute, "When it happens." He turned around and grabbed some meat and threw it at this weird looking creature. "We'll stay with you too," Delia said.
"You'll do no such thing," Hagrid said, "Think I want you seeing something like that? No you just drink your tea and be off." I looked at Delia and saw her wipping a tear away and I went over and patted her shoulder and she hugged me.
"Oh before you do, Ron," Hagrid said and Delia pulled away. He walked over to his cabinet and when he turned back around he had Scabbers, "Scabbers! You're alive," Ron said getting up and grabbing him.
"Keep a closer eye on your pet Ron," Hagrid said. "I think that means you owe someone an apology," Hermione said standing up. Ron turned around, "Right, next time I see Crookshanks, I'll let him know."
"I meant me," Hermione said when suddenly Hagrid's vase broke, "Blimey, what was that?" Hagrid asked. Delia and Hermione walked over and looked at it, when I felt something hard hit the back of my head, "Ow."
I turned around to see who threw it, but instead saw Fudge, the executioner, and Dumbledore walking down, "Hagrid," I said and waved him over.
He walked over, "Oh crikey," he said. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked and saw Delia looking out the window, "It's late, it's nearly dark, you shouldn't be here," Hagrid said walking over and grabbing a blanket, "Someone see's you outside at this time of night, you'll be in trouble, big trouble, partically you Harry."
Someone knocked on the door, "With you in a moment," Hagrid said throwing the blanket over that weird animal looking thing, "Quick, quick," he said waving us towards the back door.
"Hagrid," I said, "It'll be fine, it'll be ok." He nodded his head, "Go on, go on." I felt someone grab my hand and drag me over to the back door and I saw it was Delia.
Hermione opened the door and we looked out and when we saw Fudge and them come in we ran out and hid behind some huge pumpkins stacked on top of each other.
We watched and listened to everything when Hermione and Delia suddenly turned around, "What?" I asked. "I thought I saw," they both said, "Nevermind." 'Wow, they've said the same thing at the same time a lot this year,' I thought.
"Let's go," Ron said and we ran off back to the castle. When we got to the spot where Hermione and Delia punched Pansy and Malfoy we stopped.
I saw Delia crying silent tears and she hugged me and I could feel her tears seeping through my shirt, "I can't do this," she said to us and we nodded, knowing how much she cared for Buckbeak.
She ran off and a few minutes later the executioner raised the ax in the air and then the next thing I heard was the crow's flying away and Hermione crying into Ron's shoulder and I leaned over and hugged her.
We were silent when, "Ow," Ron said holding his finger, "He bit me! Scabbers." Ron ran after Scabbers, "Ron! Ron," Hermione said. "Ron," I said and ran after him with Hermione behind me.
"Scabber's come back," Ron said still running. "Wait," I said and ran after him. I saw Ron grab Scabbers, "Scabber's you bit me," Ron said.
"Harry," Hermione said, "You do realize what tree this is." 'The Whomping Willow,' I thought. "That's not good," I said, "Ron, run!"
I heard a scream and I knew who that was, I just hoped it wasn't her. Ron looked up and his face was completely covered in fear, "Harry, Hermione, run," he said pointing behind us.
I looked behind me, and I saw a big, black dog.............The Grim.
